Lacy and her boss, Michael Guismar, meet with the FBI. The senior agent seems uninterested, but the other, Pacheco, is young, handsome, and interested in both the case and Lacy herself. After the meeting, it is still unclear whether Luna, the senior agent will recommend to his supervisor that the FBI take the case. Pacheco, however, walks them out of the office, obviously eager to work with them—and to spend time with Lacy. Guismar predicts that Pacheco will be calling Lacy soon—but not about the casino.
Wilton Mase asks to meet Lacy at a hotel. There, he tells Lacy about the two jailhouse snitches who testified against Junior. Both disappeared after the trial and were presumed dead. However, three days ago, one of them, Todd Short, turned up and wanted to talk to Wilton. He was in hiding in California but is now dying of cancer and want to clear his conscience.
FBI Special Agent Pacheco drops by to visit Lacy. His supervisor has refused their request to pursue the case against Vonn Dubose. However, Pacheco hopes that the decision will change if anything new arises in the case. He asks Lacy to keep him in the loop.
