Chapter 59 — On The Finish Line
After saw the whole line of police cars around the gate of the manor, Mason gave the long whistle.
"My God! Cruz, you brought every Santa Barbara's policemen here, are you?"
"No, but I did wake up more one chiefs. I need to do."
"How you can find us?" Mary asked. She is beginning to feel chills and trembling after the stressing situation was down.
"Mason, I think that you did say her," Cruz looks at Mason.
"No, he did not," Mary gave the alarmed look at Cruz. And then she looks at Mason. "What is it that you didn't say me? I want to know! Now!"
"No need be so worry," Mason soothingly lifts up his hand. "Just while you tortured our D.A. I did warn Cruz about the place where we are going."
"What you did?" Mary was shocked. "You could not know where is lives my uncle. I will go to Keith Timmons for his address."
"Mason said me to follow your car," Cruz broadly smiled. "As I did. But when I saw the place, where you arrived, I immediately left out for reinforcement. This address was well known."
"About than you?" Mason frowned. "Mr. Duvall has a bad reputation, has he?"
"May be. This person is dangerous, Mason. He has many things behind but he was not caught by his hand. Yet."
"Is he like a mafia's part?" Mary's teeth are chattering because her overwhelming emotions.
"No. He wasn't enough stupid. But he did different machinations for a few times, nosing loopholes in law. He did many deals by hands of someone else, but himself remaining in shades. There are not facts that he has anybody's blood on his hands--"
"What is my relative! Mason, I am very sorry!"
"He is your relative?" Cruz repeated and looked at Mason.
"He is my uncle. My father's brother."
"I see. I thought that he's just your namesake," Cruz eats Mason by his eyes.
"What is wrong?" Mason discontented asked.
"I just thought that now you will put us spokes in the wheel."
"Why?"
"Because me," Mary pulled his sleeve. "Cruz thinks that you will do your best to clear my relative, right Cruz?"
"A sort of something likes," Cruz watchful answered.
"Presently it's not the time to speak about," Mason said and move closer Mary to himself. "Later we'll have the discussion. But now we'll better to leave at home and celebrate our won liberty. We are free now, after all! I cannot believe yet."
"You have the good reason. But I think that now when my "crazy uncle's incognito was revealed, he will not dangerous for us. And we seems can take some time to get in the common life--"
"It'll incomparably more simply than to get in to be captured in siege," Mason kissed Mary in lips. "You know my apartment soon be complete cleared. Probably in the other day we'll be able to move in. What you say?"
"Again move in?" Mary pretender frowned. "Well, OK. Though if I can be with you I ready go even on the edge of the world."
"Be careful what you wish for."
The most unbosoming moment of kissing was broken by Cruz's cough. When the pair turned, he said: "We are leaving. You go out too, are you?"
"But your car?" Mary asked when Mason led her to the police's car.
"Later I'll take it," he wave off. "Now I want to go out of the building together with you as soon as we can!"
"Well if you want..."
Mason beginning to walk out, but soon realized that Mary still stay beside the gate of the manor.
"Mary!" he called. "Cruz, wait us, please!"
"I am on the way," Mary called back and throws the last look at house of the brother of her father. He sees be attracted her as if it called her. By flashed because moon's light gates, by the darkness of the park.
"No!" Mary pulls herself together, breaking fetter that linking her with the house. "He is nobody to me! He almost killed Mason!"
And she quickly goes to police cars trying not to hear invisible calls of Lawrence Duvall's dark house. Uncle Larry never again will get up between her and Mason. Never!
