“Remember, you have to get him to admit that he was the one who ordered the hit. Act as if there’s nothing out of the normal. The last thing we want is for him to think that something is fishy.”, Danny coached his well-placed ‘mole’.
The hideous orca and shark heads his daughter had made for Halloween were being put to excellent use. Those were the last places one would expect a camera to be. Danny sat back and watched as the sting operation went down. He finally got the dirt on the mobster who had been terrorizing the city.

Great set up – but will it work will he admit to setting up the hit?

Who knows. Maybe Danny’s mole has got something up his sleeve. Danny wouldn’t have gone to all that trouble for nothing. 😉 Thanks for reading. 😄
