case.
A married couple, Slava Vasilev and Zoya Petrov, had been found murdered in
the house they rented on Long Island. We had learned that the husband and wife
had come to the United States four years before. They were suspected of
bringing Russian and other Eastern European women here for the purpose of
prostitution, and also to bear children who would be sold to affluent
couples.
Agents from our New York office were all over the murder scene on Long
Island. Photographs of the two victims had been shown to the high school
students who d seen the Connolly abduction and to Audrey Meeks children. They
had identified the couple as the kidnappers. I wondered why the bodies had
been left there. As examples? For whom?

Monnie Donnelley and I regularly met at seven before I had to attend
orientation classes for the day. We were analyzing the Long Island murders.
Monnie pulled together everything she could find on the husband and wife, as
well as other Russian criminals working in the U.S., the so-called Red Mafia.
She was hot-wired into the Organized Crime Section over at the Hoover Building
and also the Red Mafia squad in the Bureau s New York office.
I brought _everything_ bagels from D.C., I said as I entered her cube at
ten minutes past seven Monday. "Best in the city. According to Zagat, anyway.
You don t seem too excited.
You re late, Monnie said, without looking up from her computer screen.
She d mastered the droll, deadpan delivery style favored by
hackers.
These bagels are worth it, I said. Trust me.
I don t trust anybody, Monnie replied.
She finally glanced up at me and smiled. Nice smile, worth the wait. You
know that I m kidding, right? It s just a tough-girl act, Alex. Give with the
bagels.
I laughed. I m used to cop humor.
Oh, I m honored, she muttered, deadpan again, as she looked back at the
glowing computer screen. He thinks I m a cop, not just a desk jockey. You
know, they started me in fingerprinting. The absolute bottom.
I liked Monnie, but I had the sense that she needed a lot of support. I knew
she d been divorced for about two years. She d majored in criminology at
Maryland for undergrad, where she had also pursued another interesting passion
_ studio arts. Monnie still took classes in drawing and painting, and, of
course, there was the collage in her cube.
She yawned. Sorry. I watched Alias with the boys last night. That will be
Grandma s problem when she has to get them up this morning.
Monnie's home life was another thing we had in common. She was a single
parent, with two young kids and a doting grandmother who lived less than a
block away. The grandmother was her ex-husband s mother, which told the story
of the marriage. Jack Donnelley had played basketball at Maryland, where he
and Monnie met. He was a big drinker in college, and it got worse once he
graduated. Monnie said he d never recovered from being all-everything in high
school and then just another guard for the Maryland Terrapins. Monnie was
five-foot even, and joked that she hadn t played any kind of ball at Maryland.
She told me her nickname in high school was Spaz.
I ve been reading all about women being traded and sold from Tokyo to
Riyadh, she said. "Breaks my heart and it pisses me off. Alex, we re talking
some of the worst slavery in history. What s with you men?
I looked at her. I don t buy and sell women, Monnie. Neither do any of my
friends.
Sorry. I m carrying around a little extra baggage because of Jack the Rat
and a few other husbands I know. She looked at her computer screen. Here s a
choice quote for today.

Know what the Thai premier said about the thousands of women from his country
sold into prostitution? _Thai girls are just so pretty._ And here s the
premier on ten-year-old girls being sold: _Come on, don t you like young
girls, too?_ I swear to God, he said that.
I sat down next to Monnie and peered at her computer screen. So now
somebody s opened a lucrative market for suburban white women. Who? And where
are they working out of? Europe? Asia? The U.S.?
The murdered couple could be a break for us. Russians. What do you think?
she asked.
"Could be a ring operating out of New York. Brighton Beach. Or maybe they re
headquartered in Europe? The Russian mob is set up just about everywhere these
days. It s not _The Russians Are Coming_ anymore. They re here.
Monnie started to spit out information. The Solntsevo gang is the largest
crime syndicate in the world right now. Did you know that? They re big here
too. Both coasts. The Red Mafia has basically collapsed in their country. They
smuggled close to a hundred billion out of Russia, and a lot of it came here.
You know, we ve got major task forces working in L.A., San Francisco, Chicago,
New York, D.C., Miami. The Reds bought banks in the Caribbean and Cyprus.
Believe it or not, they ve taken over prostitution, gambling, and money
laundering in Israel. In Israel!
I finally got a few words in. I spent a couple of hours last night reading
the ?les from Anti-Slavery International. The Red Mafia comes up there
too. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
