Del Monte searched for Sanford (who was notified by Lucy that the killer was coming) and was warned by him to get down before they were shot at by the assassin. The two survived and managed to evade the killer long enough for the police to arrive and arrest him. Del Monte was shaken by his experience and said he needed a drink. He was presumably able prosecute Rubio once the hitman flipped on him.
