14 Chapter 14

The printout told Gabe everything he needed to know except his real name. Gabe looked up at the officer, and said, “This says Deuce Gannon. Didn’t you get his real name? Deuce is an alias, or a nickname. Surely he wasn’t born with that name.”

“I don’t know. I looked for it under the Deuce name since that’s all you gave me and that’s what it came up with. Chances are that’s all he’s known by, but on the off chance that he did have another name I went another way, but that report is still out.”

Gabe read further, and saw the words Priest at Sacred Heart.

Gabe slowly looked up at Al, and said, “This can’t be right. Is this a joke?”

“I swear, Gabe, this is not a joke. Apparently this…person…whoever he is…has quite a past. Did you bust him, or what? He’s not a friend of yours, is he?”

Gabe closed his eyes in pain, not knowing how to answer the officer’s questions. “He’s nobody. Just forget him.”
