Inside a black Ford SUV.
Jackson is driving, Luke sits in the back holding Enco Dumate in custody.
Luke scrutinizes the other, probing, "Who was that Harry you ntioned earlier?"
Enco Dumate turns his head to look at Luke, answering, "His na is Harry Sabo, also a mber of the gang, we have a pretty good relationship.
He invited for drinks so ti ago, said he wanted my help.
I trusted him, so I agreed right away." Enco Dumate sighed, scratching his head with his hand, "Only later did I realize that bastard set up, it wasn't until the actual deal that I found out he wanted to buy drugs.
That damn guy ruined .
I thought of quitting, but it was already too late...
I swear to God, I was just a go-between."
Luke questioned, "Who did you buy the drugs from?"
"Adel Owen."
"How was the deal made?"
"This area is controlled by us, the gang knows Adel Owen has a bunch of people selling drugs nearby, so we used the gang's identity to get goods at a low price from him, and then pay after selling the goods."
"Did the others in the gang know about this?"
"No, it was completely Harry's idea."
"When did the transaction happen?"
"Got the goods on February 25th, agreed to pay before March 1st."
Luke noted, "How much goods did you take?"
"Two hundred thousand US Dollars."
"How were you planning to handle these goods?"
"I don't know, Harry handles the goods, I was just pulled in by him to stand by during the purchase, that's it."
Enco Dumate's gaze flickered, Luke sensed signs of lying and spoke in a deep voice, "You know? I hate it most when soone lies to .
Many suspects love to play smart, evade responsibility, and push the bla onto their accomplices.
Especially those dead accomplices."
Enco Dumate lowered his head, not daring to et Luke's gaze.
Luke waited a while, Enco Dumate still showed no intention to speak.
Luke probed, "Why did you kill Harry Sabo? Was it over uneven distribution of spoils?"
Enco Dumate quickly shook his head, "I really didn't kill him, his death has nothing to do with ."
"Then who is it related to? Don't say you don't know, if you continue lying, no one can help you."
Enco Dumate said, "Adel Owen, must have sent soone to kill Harry Sabo, he also wants to send soone to kill ."
"What's his motive for killing?"
"We ssed up things and couldn't pay for the drugs.
On February 28th, Adel Owen contacted us for money, but we didn't have any, wanted him to grant more ti.
He wouldn't agree, said we wanted to swallow his goods, even threatened that if we didn't pay on schedule, he'd chop us up to feed the dogs."
"Where did your purchased drugs go?"
Enco Dumate sighed, "Before buying drugs Harry had already found a buyer, scheduled the transaction for March 27th.
The day before the deal, Harry found again, pleaded with to go with him.
From the bond of brotherhood, I reluctantly agreed.
We arrived at the designated place, t the buyers, they checked goods, we counted money.
At that mont, suddenly a group rushed in, took all the money and goods, and beat us severely.
Fuck! It was just a complete disaster.
We lost everything."
Luke said, "You got goods from Adel Owen and then sold them at a higher price to another group, earning the difference."
"Yes."
Luke calculated, today is March 3rd, their transaction date was February 27th, matching the injury ti from Harry Sabo's autopsy.
"Who bought drugs from you?"
"Little William Moses."
"Do you know who robbed you?"
"No, they all covered their faces, holding AK47s, sounded local, and were extrely ruthless." Enco Dumate opened his shirt, upper chest there's a bruise, "This is what they did with an AK47 butt.
If we dared to resist at that ti, they certainly would have killed."
"How many people were in the robbery?"
"Three, should be all white n."
"Did anyone else know about your transaction?"
"No, at least I didn't tell anyone else, not sure about Harry's side."
"How do you plan to resolve this matter?"
"Harry's idea was to first find Adel Owen, tell him about our being robbed, and ask him to give us more ti, we then figure out how to recover the stolen goods.
But things are far from simple, Adel Owen didn't listen to our explanation, it was them who took Harry out.
If they find , and I can't pay, I'll be taken out too."
"How do you know Adel Owen killed Harry?"
Enco Dumate shook his head, "I'm not sure either, just guessed. But besides Adel Owen, I can't think of anyone else?"
Luke probed,"Where is Harry's body?"
"Suburban Los Angeles, wasteland east of Stevenville Street."
This location matches where Luke and the others found Harry's body, "How do you know his body is there?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovelfire
"Last night, I scheduled a eting with Harry, as I drove near the rendezvous point I heard gunshots, I stopped the car and quietly went over to check.
