Robert Crais Quote

I thought it might stand out because of the nature of the arrest. A vice sting? A Serbian sex ring. They worked for a Serb gang set. Ah. Okay, that sounds familiar. NoHo Vice took down thirteen or fourteen girls over by CBS Studio Center. A joint task force deal with OCTF. Organized Crime Task Force. That’s it. Serbians. Okay, sure. They had cribs all through those complexes. They had so many hookers around the pool over there it looked like the Playboy Mansion. Not that I’ve ever seen the mansion. That’s the one. I want to talk to them about events occurring on or about that time. Sanchez said, You mind if I ask what this is about? A gang pakhan named Michael Darko. Darko heads up the set that owned these particular girls. Sanchez said, Darko. Yeah. One of his lieutenants probably ran the operation, but Darko was the man. The pakhan. I have some questions about Darko these girls might be able to answer. The silence from Sanchez was thoughtful.
