I’ll get another couple grand out of the car.” “Fifty K, plus I get the car,” Haller said. What’s your piece on that? If you don’t mind my asking.” Now the DA will deal it down and my guy will still do some time.” “You know as well as I do that he’s not going anywhere,” Haller responded. “So I guess you’re pretty proud of yourself, getting that drug dealer off,” he said. He decided to put off the news by going back to the hearing that had just ended. Previously Haller had given him updates on the case by phone.

They were arguing that the cops were looking to put the reins on the DROP program, which threatened to bankrupt the city pension fund.īecause Haller had requested a meeting in person, Bosch expected that the news would not be good. He then hired Haller to file a lawsuit against the city, charging that the police department was engaged in unlawful tactics to force veteran officers and detectives out. It forced Bosch to retire early so he could protect his pension and the payout from the Deferred Retirement Option Plan in which he had been enrolled. The infraction was minor but could have been the first step in the firing process. It was a Sunday and Bosch didn’t want to have to wait for the captain to come in the next day. The previous year Bosch had been suspended from the LAPD on a trumped-up beef when he had picked the lock on a captain’s office door so he could look at old police records connected to a murder investigation he was actively working. Bosch was expecting an update on the case Haller was handling for him. Now as they sat at the table with a window that looked out on the train station’s cavernous waiting room, it was time to get down to business. The fathers were happy about this because they knew they would be able to pool their efforts to monitor the girls’ well-being and adjustment to college life. From there their plan to be roommates quickly formed. Both had applied to the school without knowing the other’s intention until they celebrated their acceptance letters on the same day on Facebook.

In fact, the girls were planning to room together in September at Chapman University down in Orange County. Bosch and Haller were half brothers and had daughters the same age. On the walk over they had talked about family matters. Bosch took a quick look and ordered a hamburger and French fries, which seemed to disappoint Haller. The waiter knew Haller and she didn’t bother giving him a menu. It was a nice place that was courthouse close and favored at lunchtime by judges and lawyers.
