PART II Chapter Nineteen
Kate had a good time out with her daughter and her partner Cindy. She had gotten up early and gone for a run to get rid of the stress of what was coming but that didn’t work. Kate was headed for Fenway Park to get the information that was probably going to make her feel uncomfortable. She would have to listen, it was her job and she needed the information.
Megan had been up when Kate came in from her run. They exchanged conversation and she thought Megan was nervous about today as well. Kate wanted to know what had happened to the girls brought to the porn compound as they had started calling it, but she was afraid of what she might hear.
On her way to Fenway park Kate stopped at the station to pick up Cindy. Kate was dressed in casual clothes to look like any other baseball fan. She and Cindy would be entering the park without any weapons so they wouldn’t set off any metal detectors. Her phone had tracking turned on and her captain was monitoring that from the station.
They entered and made it to their seats, leaving the one open for their guest of honor. They didn’t know what his name was nor what he looked like, but they knew where he was supposed to sit. Kate spotted a young man a few feet away, who appeared to be looking for something or someone. He was checking row and seat numbers and seemed to be getting ever closer to them.
Kate pointed him out to Cindy and they decided he was their guy. It was just a matter now of waiting for him to find his seat next to Kate. He made it to their row and maneuvered down to his seat they saved for him.
Kate asked, “Are you supposed to be meeting someone here?”
The young man replied, “Yes, I assume that is you since you have this seat. I have information that I think can help.”
Kate introduced herself and Cindy. The young man introduced himself as Tim Miller. They were trying to talk back and forth without looking like they were talking to each other. Tim told Kate and Cindy that he was recruited by Jason Brinkley. He said that finding the right kind of girl was very lucrative, but once he saw what happened to the girls after he brought them in, he couldn’t continue.
Tim said, “I didn’t want to be a part of what they were doing, but they aren’t the kind of employer you can just give two weeks' notice to. I did what I had to do until I got a chance to get away and go into hiding. They can never find me or my fate will be the same as Jason’s.”
Kate replied, “We can hide you and give you protection but we need details of what you saw and what you participated in.”
Tim replied, “I will give you details but there are too many ears here.”
Kate replied, “Okay, let’s appear to flirt. I will touch you on the arm and maybe leg and then when we leave together it will appear we just hit it off. I can make a motel reservation, Cindy will meet us at the motel and you can give us your complete story.”
Cindy chimed in, “Wouldn’t it be more believable if I left with him and you could meet us?”
Kate replied, “I assume that is an age comment. Okay, you leave with him and I will take a different route to the same motel, in case someone is following.”
Cindy and Tim were getting acquainted and appeared to be a couple who were getting along well. Kate was about ready for the next phase and bent over to tell Cindy and Tim it was time for them to leave. The SOX were losing the game anyway so this was a good time to leave and get the information they came after.
Kate watched Cindy and Tim maneuver down their row and walk to the exit with their arms around each other. Kate was careful to watch to see if anyone there followed the two out but there was no one anywhere close. Kate knew what to look for when checking to see if you were being followed.
She waited for fifteen minutes and then walked out to drive to the motel where they had agreed to meet at. Kate put her holster and Glock on when she got to the car. She had stuffed it under the seat but had done without it long enough. Kate drove to the motel over a long route. When she arrived she went straight to the room number Cindy had texted to her.
Kate lightly tapped on the door and when it opened Cindy was standing beside it inviting her inside. Tim was sitting in a chair in the far corner with his head in his hands.
Kate told Cindy, “To be honest, I wasn’t sure I could trust you in a motel with him.”
Cindy replied, “He isn’t my type. Young inexperienced kids aren’t my thing.”
Kate walked to the chair Tim was seated in and asked, “Are you ready to tell your story?”
Tim replied, “I am as ready as I will ever be. I already told you that Jason Brinkley recruited me. I met him at a club and he said I was just what they were looking for. I didn’t know at the time exactly what he meant, but it became clear over time.”
Kate said, “Describe the meeting and how he presented the proposal.”
Tim said, “We met at a club as I said. I was sitting at a table looking around having a drink and he asked if he could sit in the chair at my table. I didn’t see any harm so I told him sure. After he took a seat he bought me a drink to thank me.”
Kate said, “He was already working on you, he chose you, it wasn’t random.”
Tim said, “He introduced himself as Jason Brinkley and told me he noticed several girls stopping by to say hello. He asked me if I knew any of them and I replied that I was only responding to them when they initiated conversation. He said he worked for some people who would pay me well for my talents.”
Kate asked, “Did he say what talents he was referring to?”
Tim replied, “He said I seemed to be popular with the girls and that they could use those talents.”
Kate asked, “Did he tell you he had to clear it with his boss before you could start?
Tim replied, “He actually told me that he had free reign to choose who he wanted and all of my instructions would come from him.”
Kate said, “It sounds like he wanted to keep the chain of command a secret from you. Did you ever meet anyone higher up the chain?”
Tim answered, “I met some other grunt level workers. Jason would arrange to meet at a bar, and he rotated through a list of which one we would meet at. I guess to make it harder on law enforcement.”
Kate asked, “Did you ever procure any girls for him?”
Tim replied, “I went with him once. He called it a training mission. We went to a club which was where we went most of the time except for an occasional private party.. I watched him select the girl and then he showed how to discretely spike the drink.”
Kate asked, “Did he ever try to get the girls to leave voluntarily?”
Tim answered, “No, he said that took too long and although you would have some success, putting drugs in their drinks was a lot faster.”
Kate said, “Okay, you drugged them and got them out of the club. Now what do you do?”
Tim replied, “They would be groggy at this point, their legs were like rubber. He managed to walk them backwards and he would open his trunk on his car with the remote and then gently push backward on the girl until she fell into the trunk.”
Kate asked, “What happened after the girls were delivered?”
Tim replied, “I don’t know. I didn’t go with him. I made up an excuse to not go with him. I decided right then I wanted no part in their “business.”
Tim said, “Jason told me that they would take the girls' clothes off and then manipulate their bodies until they got them aroused and they would usually cooperate after that.”
Kate realized that Tim had given her all the information that he personally knew about. She gave him a card and told him he was free to go.
