Johnny Stool Pigeon Page #3

That's how they die, Johnny.

Screaming.

Shut up!

That's how she died.

All right.

But I haven't forgotten a thing.

And if you got any idea you're gonna

come back here

and brag about how you made a stool pigeon

out of Johnny Evans, forget it.

Because my chance will come.

And when it does, I'll get you, copper.

And good!

'35, robbery, one year suspended.

Come on, come on.

'36, armed robbery, Indianna, two to five.

'43, sent to the Rock for...

What names does he use?

Real name, Michael R. Doyle.

In Chicago, Mike Doyle.

Indianna...

Come on, it's my neck too if you ever

come up with the wrong answer.

Indianna, Manny Dayton.

On the Coast, Mike Doyle.

James Ruhl, James J. Hamlin.

Your clothes are wrong.

Get a pair of 30 dollar shoes

and a couple of suits.

Something sharp.

You can't carry these,

they got your initials on them.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

This thing is no good.

It's got copper written all over it.

Get another one.

And put some bullets in it.

Your train leaves at 10:45.

Here's your tickets.

And money.

You can get more if you need it.

But try and make it last.

You know how the budget is.

There's a phony record on you

going into the files tonight, just in case.

Here's a copy of all the Canadian boys have

on the Vancouver push and McCandles.

There's not much there

and I don't think it'll do you any real good

but I thought you might want to look at it

on your way up.

And...

Here's the type of gun you wanted.

Okay?

Okay.

You sure you wanna go ahead

with this, Mort?

Hm-hmm.

Well...

I wanna tell you something, Evans.

I don't like this and I don't like you.

There'd better not be anything go wrong.

Goodbye, copper.

Once we'd crossed the border into Canada

I began to think of all the things

that could go wrong.

I had a promise from Johnny.

It was a double promise, and I knew

he'd keep both ends of it if he could.

From now on my life would be

in his hands 24 hours a day.

I thought of the kind of men

we were going up against.

And what they'd done to Pete Carter

just to make sure he'd keep his mouth shut.

I thought of all the ways they could figure out

to dispose of a certain federal cop

if they ever caught him.

But it was too late to worry

about that now.

Can I help you?

Is Mr McCandles in?

Tell him it's Johnny Evans, from the States.

There's a Johnny Evans to see you,

Mr McCandles, from the States.

Mr McCandles will see you in his office.

Thank you.

I'm Evans.

Hi, Johnny.

This is my partner, Mike Doyle.

Hello, Mike.

Sit down, fellas.

Well, well, Johnny Evans.

I've heard a lot about you.

Been away, haven't you?

Yeah.

What are you doing

in this part of the country?
