Creds

by Ben Parris

Part Two of a Four-Part Series that looks deep into the storied heart of the IRS

Do you want to know? Or do you not want to know? Danny "Creds" Shapiro wants to know and he may get killed for it. In the meantime, he's impressing the hell out of his girlfriend. Or so he hopes.

From Creds, Episode 2:

I studied Verna’s face, her scarlet lipstick and pasty make-up. She had a couple of years on me so it was likely she worked somewhere else before coming to the IRS.

“You’re being surveilled,” she continued. “Always. And that meeting you just had… was a set-up.”

I remembered how Ras said that he he’d heard me on the phone. He didn’t say he overheard me. But no, this idea of a set-up was too farfetched. And as for Verna, she sold paranoia like she’d gotten it wholesale. I had to figure this out.
