Reaper and Joker don’t seem as committed as me as they share a serious look.
I give them the finger.
“I’m not worried about me,” Evanee says. “And this isn’t Wendy’s fault.”
“Who the fuck is Wendy?” Reaper growls.
“My assistant,” Evanee tells him. “She got approached by them when she was at lunch. They offered her a lot of money to get information about you guys.”
“Jesus fucking christ,” I say, pulling at my beard and grabbing air instead. “Those guys are dangerous. She ain’t hurt, is she?””
“No. She agreed to do what they wanted. They gave her two-thousand dollars, Trigger. I’m holding it right now.”
“Why the fuck did she take the money?” Joker all but shouts.
I narrow my eyes at him. “Back the fuck off, cocksucker, or I’ll bury you.”
Threats like that shouldn’t be made lightly, but he’s talkin’ to my girl and the shit she’s talkin’ about is fucking scaring me.
“It’s okay,” Evanee says. “Wendy said she could feed them false information. Maybe get them out in the open so you can figure out what they really want.”
Reaper, Joker, and I exchange glances. This is the closest we’ve come to the DEA fucks who killed Jess’s brother. Maybe we can find out who they got snitching on us from the inside. We can’t pass it up.
“Wendy there?” Reaper asks.
“No. She’s outside with Lullaby. She’s pretty upset about the citation.”
“You trust the woman?” Joker asks Evanee.
“Of course I do.” Evanee sounds affronted. “Why would she show me the money and tell me what happened if she was actually working with them?”
Reaper shrugs. “Who knows? Maybe she’s playing both sides.”
“That’d be too obvious,” Joker says. He glances at his watch. “Gotta get going. Church.”
“Listen, babe,” I say. “You and Wendy get over here where you’re safe. We’ll figure it out.”
“What about Lullaby?”
“We got 24-hours to solve that problem, but just in case, I’ll send Zero over to keep an eye on her.”
I hear the relief in Evanee’s voice. “Thank you, lover. We’ll head over now.”
I’m reluctant to hang up the phone, but Joker grabs it and ends the call. “Church, asshole,” he says. “We got a lot to talk about.”
CHAPTERTHIRTY-ONE
Trigger
Joker, Reaper, and I get to church just in front of Hangman, who comes storming in like he usually does. “Updates first,” he demands as his chair groans under the weight of his big ass body.
“Got more important stuff to talk about,” Joker tells him. “Let’s hold the updates until you hear what we have to say.”
Anyone else and Hangman would chew them up, but coming from Joker, the prez is almost aimable. “Better be good, motherfucker.”
We start with Dino, followed by the Blackbeards hassling Evanee, then the horse problem. It goes exactly as we expected.
Hangman goes ballistic over Dino bein’ dead before we talked to him, and it don’t help that the brothers are laughing like hyenas. He’s less impressed with the Blackbeards fucking around with Evanee.
