Cry Danger Page #7

That's what

I figured.

We'll wait

for your attorney.

I love to watch them

operate.

Wait for me, driver.

I'll be right back.

Don't go.

I won't be gone long.

Rocky, please don't go.

I couldn't stand it

If anything

happened to you.

Nothing's going

to happen to me.

If I told you

You meant everything

in the world to me-

Don't talk like that.

I can't help it.

I don't care anymore.

Maybe I shouldn't

say it,

But I'm going to anyway.

No, you're not.

You're gonna stay here

And get some sleep,

And I'll be back

in a little while.

Rocky, please!

I'll be back.

Get in. Let's go

to your place.

Don't be a chump, Rocky.

This is exactly what

Cobb wanted you to do.

Your place.

It's too early.

It's not even open.

There's nobody there.

That's why we're

going to your place.

Get in.

Stop right there.

Get up on the desk.

Get up there

and lie down.

Lie down?

We seem to talk better

When you're flat

on your back.

You know, there's no use

kiddin' you, Rocky.

I- I've been out

to get you.

I was kind of a chump

To fool around

with this at all.

Like I told you before,

I'm 60% legitimate now.

You know, Cobb doesn't

have anything on us yet.

He's trying to get us

to fight it out for him.

What are you doing?

You ever hear of a game

called Russian roulette?

It's supposed to show

how much nerve you have.

6 chambers, one bullet.

Oh, now-Now, wait

a minute, Rocky.

I-

Now, take it easy,

Rocky.

And every time I spin this,

You've got

a 5-To-1 chance.

That's better odds

Than you gave

my friends last night.

Look, Rocky,

the money's in a safe

Underneath this desk.

I'm not interested

in the money now.

Look, Rocky,

I'll tell you-

I'll tell you where

the rest of it is.

It'll be a cinch

For you

to pick it up.

That was

a messy killing, Castro.

A pretty little girl

isn't so pretty anymore.

A one-Legged marine

is all shot up

Just because somebody

thought it was me.

You'll have

$100,000, Rocky.

I'll help you get out

of the country, huh?

You don't get

the idea, do you?

Will you cut that out

a minute!

Look...

you drag me

into this thing

And you're gonna ruin

A couple of

your very best friends.

Like who?

If you hadn't been

so thick-Headed,

You'd have seen it

a long time ago.

Danny pulled

that stick-Up with me.

You had turned it down,

but he didn't.

No, it's the truth,

Rocky.

Danny killed the guard.

Fletcher had identified

him before I got to him

With the 5 grand.

He agreed to frame you

And name Danny

as an accessory.

Who do you think

has the other half

Of the dough?

Who?

Nancy, his wife.

How do you think I knew

You were coming

to my office

The other night?

She called and told me

You were on your way

over packin' a gun.

Go on.

She's been trying

to keep your nose

Out of everything.

She even took a shot

at you to scare you off.

So you tried to kill her

along with me.

Oh, she was shootin'

off her mouth

About Fletcher.

You said so yourself.

All right, stupid,

Pick up the phone

and call Cobb.

Oh, you're nuts, Rocky.

You want to play some more?

What am I supposed

to tell him?

Tell him to get over here.

You're gonna make

a confession.

Take it easy

with that thing.

Look, Rocky-

You're stretching

your luck.

Yeah?

Lieutenant Cobb, please.

This is Louie Castro.

What's the matter,

Castro?

Hello, Cobb?

This is Louie Castro.

Get over to my place.

I'd like to make

a full confession.

You in trouble?

Yeah. Rocky Mulloy

is with me here now.

We'll be

right over.

Come on.

Thanks, lieutenant.

Well, that's that.

Now will you put

that thing away?

I don't think we're gonna

play with this anymore.

Now that you've

called your 2 boys,

Let's really

call Gus Cobb.

I think he'd like

to meet them.

And do me a favor, Castro,

while I'm on the phone,

Try to jump me.

I'd love nothing better

Than shooting you

right in the belly.

They're all around us.

Let's shoot it out.

Let me get out of here,

will you?

You shouldn't be

too anxious

To get out there.

The boys might think you

called 'em into a trap.

Give me a break, Rocky.

Let me get out

the back door.

Your first 6 months

in jail, Castro,

Are gonna be

a little rough.

You won't be able

to sleep much.

You'll be wondering what

your friends are doing.

I'm not gonna

take this alone.

I'll spill

everything I know

About Danny

and the girl.

Of course, it won't be

as tough on you

As it was on me

Because you

really belong there.

This wasn't my idea.

I only work for Castro.

I know all that.

Give me the key

to this joint.

I haven't got a key.

I'll tell you anything

you want to know.

Give me a break,

will ya?

Take him away. You wait

for the coroner.

We're goin' in

the back way.

You hear that, Castro?

That's the heavy foot

of the law.

Get yourself

a good lawyer.

If you're lucky,

You might get off

with life, like I did.

The money's in a safe

under the desk.

Take care of him.

Wait a minute, Rocky.

I don't suppose you have

a permit for this?

How much of the money's

under the desk?

His half.

Where's the rest?

I don't know.

I said I didn't know.

Who is it?

It's me, Rocky.

Oh, Rocky, I'm

so glad you're back.

I've nearly been

out of my mind.

Where have you been?

Looking for Castro.

You found him?

I went to his apartment,

to his office.

He's hiding out

somewhere...

or looking for me.

You've gotta

get away from here.

Go somewhere where

Castro can't find you.

I've been thinking

about it.

Take me with you.

Take you?

Yes, Rocky, please.

Where would we go?

Anyplace.

It doesn't matter.

We've just

gotta get away.

Well, that

isn't so easy.

But you can't go

without me.

I couldn't stand

to be alone again.

Danny will be out

in 6 months.

You can stand

6 months.

Rocky.

What is it, Nancy?

I'm not gonna wait

6 months for Danny.

If he got out tomorrow,

I wouldn't wait,

And you know why.

No. You tell me why.

You're just afraid

to admit it,

But you know.

Take me with you.

I haven't got

the cab fare

To get us

to the city limits.

I've got some money.

You couldn't be

making much

At that job you're doing.

I've got enough

to take us

As far as

we want to go-

The other end

of the world,

Away from Castro,

away from everything.

That's a long way.

Not if you've got

$50,000.

No, not if you've got

$50,000.

It's in a suitcase

in Williams' basement.

In the old house?

Oh, I couldn't

tell you before.

I'm surprised

you didn't guess.

Danny was in on it.

I've had the money

all the time.

5 years.

Oh, I wanted

to do something,

But I couldn't.

The whole trial

you didn't say anything.

Rocky, I couldn't.

Castro told me

if I said anything,

I'd be arrested

for having the money.

You had the money,

And I went away

for 5 years.

Oh, I didn't want to

see you go to prison,

But I was afraid,

Afraid of Castro.

Why didn't you tell me

when I got out, Nancy?

I don't know.

Oh, but we can

forget all that.

It's all
