Chapter 23O'Malley's court date was scheduled on the court's docket. He still didn't know what the prosecution had on him. He decided to call Duncan to see if he'd heard anything new.
“Duncan, good morning,” he said. “My court date is coming up, and I need to know what ace the D.A. is holding.”
“Still, no news,” said Duncan. “This is the quietest the streets have been in a long time. There's absolutely no chatter!”
“That doesn't sound good,” said O'Malley. “Something is up, and it's not looking in my favor.”
“Sorry, man,” said Duncan. “Wish I could help.”
Duncan did have the latest news. But he knew O'Malley's funds were frozen, and he didn't work for free. It was highly unlikely he'd get paid for his services.
