“If he didn’t do anything, we don’t mean him any harm.”
“And if he did?”
“Depends on what he did, but we’re not making any guarantees.”
“You’re not selling it very well.”
“I’m not much of a salesperson,” Margot told him.
Mal shrugged as he said, “At some point, we’re going to find out anyway. It’s just a matter of if you’re going to make it easy or make it hard.”
“That sounds a bit like a threat.”
“I’m just telling it like it is.”
Tommy nodded. “Here’s the thing, I can’t tell you something I don’t know.”
“You don’t know where your own brother lives?”
“Wherever it is, it isn’t as nice as my place. We aren’t that close. He likes to live off the grid and apparently that means moving around a lot. Since Jennifer dumped him, he’s been living in his motor home. It’s why Stone sent his thugs around to bother me. They couldn’t find him. Probably for the best though. He can be a little jumpy around strangers and he’s armed to the teeth.”
“We can take care of ourselves,” Margot told him.
“Yeah, I bet you can, but bring more than the mace, if you know what I mean.”
“I’ll keep that in mind. You really don’t have any idea where he might be?”
“He probably won’t leave the state but other than that? I’d say, knowing Terry, the place isn’t going to show up on the GPS.”
“That doesn’t narrow it down much.”
Tommy shrugged.
“How about you tell us where he was the last time you saw him.”
“It’d be a waste of time.”
“Do it anyway,” Mal told him.
“Like I said, his location isn’t going to show up on the GPS. I’m going to have to draw you a map.”
“I’m fine with that,” Margot told him.
“Alright, follow me. The dog looks scary, but he won’t do anything. If anyone broke into my place, he’d make friends.”
They stepped inside and Tommy said, “You wait in the kitchen, I’ve got to find some paper.”
“Is this your house?” Mal asked.
“Yeah.”
“Do you mind if I ask what you do for a living?”
“You’re looking at a young guy like me living in this neighborhood and you’re thinking it must be illegal, aren’t you?”
“The thought has crossed my mind.”
“You and all my neighbors, but the sad fact is, I developed an App and sold it for a shitload of cash.”
