“Not smart, shootin’ at a cop’s girlfriend,” Darius remarked.
Yes, it was the guy who shot at me.
And there it was again, someone calling me Eddie’s girlfriend.
Dear Lord.
“Whatever it was, it was worth twenty large. That’s all I know,” Darius told Eddie.
Twenty large?
Holy cow.
I’d probably shoot someone if they stole something from me that was worth twenty thousand dollars.
Well, probably not, but I’d consider it.
“Slick still in the picture?” Eddie went on.
“Slick’s taken to ground. Slick’s got the DPD and Nightingale Investigations all over his ass. Slick ain’t showin’ his face for a good, long time. Thirty K or no.”
Finally, a piece of good news.
“Where does Marcus stand in this?” Eddie continued.
“He’s cut Vince loose. Either that or lose Daisy. Ain’t no way he’s losin’ Daisy,” Darius answered.
I was shocked.
What happened to war?
Not, of course, that Iwantedwar.
“Vince is renegade?” Eddie asked, sounding incredulous.
“Vince is on a mission and Vince is on his own.”
I didn’t take this as good news.
“That’s too bad, I wanted Marcus tied to this,” Eddie said.
Eddie didn’t take it as good news either, but for a far scarier reason.
Darius laughed. “You’ll have to nail him some other way, Ed. Word is Daisy likes Jet and Marcus wants Daisy happy. You know how it is.”
No answer and a long moment of silence.
“She worth this?” Darius asked quietly.
“Jet?” Eddie asked in return.
“Yeah,” Darius replied.
I opened the door and did it as loudly as I could, then walked to the bathroom.
I didn’t want to hear Eddie’s answer and I didn’t think I could close the door without them knowing I was listening.
It was while in the bathroom that I realized I had no underwear on.
