Chapter 31 Summary

DeVasher meets with Nathan and Oliver, telling them that he believes that Abby’s visit to her parents is a lie. He cannot find any evidence that her mother was in the hospital. He also tells them about the copies Mitch made on the fourth floor and billed to multiple accounts that include not only his accounts, but some of Lamar’s and Avery’s clients. Oliver and Nathan blow off DeVasher’s concerns, however, Lou does not. Lou wants Avery placed on a 60 day leave of absence, and he tells DeVasher he wants Mitch to die in an explosion aboard the firm’s Lear jet. However, he is willing to wait until his contact in the FBI confirms Mitch’s relationship with them.

On Saturday, Mitch visits Ray and tells him he will be released soon by speaking to him in Spanish. However, he is not able to give him many details. After his visit with Ray, Mitch goes to a mall in Nashville, leaving his keys in the BMW. He changes his shirt and slips out of the mall through a different door and takes a cab to Tammy’s rented apartment. Abby is waiting for him there.
