She laughs again, a delightful sound. "But I had to go in front of the Texas grand jury, which was an eye-opening experience. People don't realize this, but when you go before a grand jury, your attorney doesn't go with you. It's you, the jury, your accusers, and the district attorney. But we got no-billed, which means that they didn't want to take it to court. And the guy who busted us? That was a guy named Byron 'Bubba' Cates, who'd been working for the vice squad – this was back when cities still had those. He'd been working for vice down in San Antonio and was apparently a pretty dirty cop and got booted out of there, but Austin seemed to have no problem bringing him in and letting him head up vice in this city. And a year and a day to the day he busted Forbidden Fruit? He went up on federal racketeering charges. So there is, you know, some justice in the world."
