Chapter 104
I WAS CAREFUL to explain that we needed something concrete. Not some vague conspiracy with other people Kyle didn’t know. A smirk on his face told me he had something to trade.
The first thing he did was provide addresses to two houses. One of them was in the Mission. He said no one was there right now. The other one was the Pacific Heights house that we had gone to earlier. I told Kyle about the search warrant. At this point he didn’t seem to care.
He gave us some phone numbers and a couple of names of people he dealt with. It still wasn’t enough. Not nearly enough.
Kyle had a hitch in his voice. “I don’t know what else I can give you. I’ve already confessed. I’m really trying to work with you.”
“Do you want to go into any more detail about Donna Harris or Tina Barnes?”
“They were accidents. I don’t make money if I can’t provide girls. I didn’t mean to hurt either of them.”
“Which girl didn’t you mean to hurt? The one you punched in the throat and let suffocate slowly in the park?
Or was it the girl you strangled, then tossed in the ocean?
” I was just about to end this conversation.
I wanted to find a killer and I had. But something deep in my brain said it was important I keep finding out about the organization.
I wanted to locate missing girls. I stayed silent to let Kyle realize all of this.
Kyle gave us two hotels where they had several girls housed.
They weren’t the greatest hotels, but they weren’t like some of the hotels in the Tenderloin.
“We sent some of the girls overseas. That only happened a few times a year. That was over my pay grade. All I did was check on the girls we had housed here in San Francisco.”
“We’re going to need names, phone numbers, and descriptions.”
“I’ll need my phone, but I think I can provide quite a bit. I do have a name for someone who referred a lot of girls to me. She also would ride with me sometimes when we were just looking for random girls on the street. It’s easier to have a woman with me to break the ice.”
That made my skin crawl. It also made me question allowing this monster to cut any kind of deal at all.
Then Kyle surprised me.
He said, “This woman used to work with Jason Cortlandt. She’s been very helpful. Her name is Gina Scrittori.”
