did not want to draw too much attention to what he was doing. An area like this did not have many people out at night, so his chances of being caught were lower. Not that he much worried about it, to be honest. His friends on the Oak Park police force would easily smooth things out for him.The liquor store where he ran into the whites earlier was a good place to buy legal, as well as illegal poison, if you knew the right people. Many people who bought alcohol there knew of the stores “other” merchandise being sold there. It was the hard stuff and not just weed or mushrooms. Shit, it was why Red often time went there.
It was time to get to work now. Red took the cooler out of his trunk and opened it revealing a ton of ice and two plastic bags. In the bags were a hand and part of a foot. They had belonged to a female police officer that had gone missing a few days ago. This particular officer had the bright idea of being a hero. She had tried investigating some of the higher ups in the force. She was taping conversations with supervisors, recording roll calls, looking into things that did not concern her. Many of the commanders handled jobs for politicians and people of power in Chicago.
She had arrested some close business associates of the mayor’s on drug charges. The association with these fellows would be bad enough, but she had tried picking them for more information, which they were looking like they might provide. The mayor wanted the problem solved and Bill had solved it.
Red took out his tools and began to pick the lock on the trunk, easily opening it. After placing the body parts in the trunk, he closed it and took some of the officer’s blood they had saved and stored to keep it fresh. He painted it on the outside of the hood. He would be halfway home when a stranger driving through would see the blood and call the police to investigate. Of course, the stranger would be working for him. And, of course, there would be plenty of witnesses who had seen somebody fitting the description of the young man who had insulted Red earlier arguing with the female officer. The main issue would be to make sure everything fit in time wise. The lady had gone missing three days ago; the witnesses, and this guy’s movements, would have to match up with the time frame..This would be the perfect set up, It was about motive, opportunity and means. Red had checked and this female officer had even busted the guy twice for minor drug offences. The motive was right there. Of course, he would have people who would swear this person has been talking about getting revenge for years. Red had checked and this guy even sometimes hung around the area the officer had come up missing in. Luckily, he was in the area when she was last seen. The guy had probably been caught on video camera film from stores around the time, and had possibly used his credit card in two stores in the area. Once again, he would easily have witnesses who would swear they had seen them in the area at the time.
Red having worked as an Oak Park police officer had damn good connections. He had worked this all out before hand or most of it anyway. They knew to expect a guy taking the fall for this, but not exactly who would be picked. They would give this guy the business. They would not let him see a lawyer and work on him around the clock to get him to confess. Even if he did get a lawyer and fight eventually, it did not matter. There would be some issues with the evidence, of course. The crime lab they used was under direct control of the police, and would run the test a thousand times until the results were favorable to them. The higher ups would keep the pressure on them to produce favorable results as they always did. The defense would have access to the same evidence and have different results of course. Bill had already planned for that. See, he really did not want the guy convicted. He wanted the guy to be accused of the crime, get out on bail and run to
