Jake Randolph: Origins Pt. 245

I presented my idea to Sharkey when I got back to his house in Monterey.

"Set me up as an easy target, huh? Damn, Jake. I hired you to keep me alive not to offer aid and assistance to my would-be assassin," he said with more than a little irritation.

"It's okay, Sharkey, because it won't be you. It'll be me."

"Huh?" he asked.

"I'll be posing as you to draw the killer out. Then your men can swoop in."

He shook his head, "It's too dangerous. I don't want you killed any more than I want me killed."
