Chapter 83

Little droplets of rain clanged to the trees and leaves along Fifth Avenue as the former navy seal maneuver himself towards Grand central station. The streets of New York were tangled with tourist and businessmen as Mr Dobbs hailed a cab on the corner of Madison and 86 street. Fifth avenue was a monstrosity of hostile taxi drives, irate new Yorkers and naïve lost tourist all embroiled in a battle for supremacy over the busy streets of New York City.

As his taxi car raced downtown, Mr. Dobbs called his only client, Senator Jefferson Anderson.

“Have you found your target?” the Senator insisted.

“I should have him with a half hour, sir.” “Mr Dobbs I need to bury Martinez’s corpse deep, I mean very deep. Martinez’s body must never be found. If you miss your target, we will both be killed.”

Yes, sir.”

“Bury them somewhere new. Don’t take any chances burying Martinez with the others. You need to find a new plot to bury Robert Dubinsky and his boss Martinez.”

Yes, sir.”

“Don’t forget where your loyalties are. I am the only one that saved your neck from the tightrope, don’t you forget it.”

Yes, sir.”

Despair lingered in James Dobbs’s heart as the Senator hastily hanged up the phone. Mr. Dobbs wiped sweat off his brow as he contemplated the consequences if he failed this assignment. Mr. Dobbs was very aware of what Senator Anderson has done for him. This is the most important assassination that Mr. Anderson has ever bestowed upon Mr. Dobbs.

For the past ten years, Mr. Dobbs has work exclusively as a professional assassin for the senator. Mr. Dobbs has eliminated many of Mr Anderson’s problems including wise guys, politicians, hookers, drug dealers and union representatives. James was also able to provide drugs and prostitutes for the senator’s fat cat friends in the Senate.

James has been very well compensated for his services by the Senator. Besides the two million dollars a year in salary he received from the Senator, Mr. Dobbs was also compensated for his valuable services with a penthouse in New York City, a condo in Boca Raton and a summer house in Aspen. James Dobbs came to work for Senator Anderson after the Senator got him released from jail.  Mr. James Dobbs was facing a congressional hearing on murder and drug smuggling charges when out of the blue Mr. Anderson saved Mr. Dobbs from a sentence of life in prison.

James contemplated how he was going to find Albert and I amongst the thousand of commuters within the Grand central station. He soon realized that he needed  the help of an expert from the FBI.
