(as Whitey disappeared...)
As Theresa got out of the car, Whitey told her he was headed for Fields Corner in Dorchester, to meet Kevin Weeks. In fact he was about to drive to Malibu Beach, where Kevin Weeks would deliver Catherine Greig to him. As for Theresa, she had some nice diamond jewelry she could hock, if times got tough. Or she could go back to being a banquet waitress, if her varicose veins didn’t act up. Sooner or later, Whitey knew, the cops would come calling, and she’d give up “Tom Baxter” But then she’d feel guilty and call Kevin, and Kevin would beep him. With any luck all this would be straightened out by then, and if it wasn’t he would have a new alias, or two, or three. For that he was counting on his old friends from Alcatraz. But right now he wanted to talk to his brother Billy...Once Whitey talked to Billy, he could get back on the road. Whitey wanted to drive and drive and drive...A year later when the feds recovered “Tom Baxter’s” Grand Marquis, in Yonkers, it would have 65,000 miles on its odometer.
Whitey watched as Theresa got out of the car in front of the restaurant in Hingham, clutching her single suitcase.
“I’ll call you,” he said.
She never saw him again.
Cue the “Ka-ching” sound effect, Howie has his Monday topic.
