Because I’m cooking a bunch of meth on the side, dumbass.
“I thought I’d confirm my suspicions first,” I lied. “Make sure it wasn’t bogus.”
“You knew that as soon as you overheard her phone conversation.”
“No I didn’t. She could’ve been getting pressure from a dealer.” It was a plausible explanation – although I didn’t believe a word of it. “In fact, it might not be the DEA. Could just be some scumbag she’s into for ten grand worth of coke who wants to muscle in on our territory.”
“Well, obviously it’s not the DEA, since they didn’t bust the fake drug buy.”
I shook my head. “I wouldn’t assume that. They could have been filming the whole thing, assembling a case for when they drop the hammer later.”
“With what evidence?” Jack scoffed. “There wasn’t anything in the bags.”
“Yeah, but if they were watching that, they might be watching our other operations, too.”
“We’ve only got the dispensary business,” Jack said.
‘Only’ the dispensary business. What an idiot.
“That’s still enough to send us to prison for thirty years,” I pointed out.
Jack looked thoughtful. “Maybe it’s time to get rid of that, too…”
Oh my fucking GOD.
“I didn’t call this meeting to convince you to throw away what little fuckin’ money we have dribbling in,” I snarled. “I called this meeting because we have a fuckin’ problem.”
“You said it yourself – you don’t even know if it’s the DEA.”
“Which is why we need to bring her in and get it out of her.”
“Venus?” Jack asked.
“No, Marilyn fuckin’ Monroe. Of course Venus.”
“Lou?” Jack said, his voice a threat. “Watch the tone.”
I sat there and fumed silently, cursing myself for going on this stupid fool’s mission in the first place.
“I’ll talk to her about it,” Jack said.
I stared at him. “What?”
“I said I’ll talk to her about it.”
“You fuckin’ idiot – what are you gonna do? Just go ahead and ask her, ‘Hey – you workin’ for the DEA?’”
“I’m not going to warn you again,” Jack said, his eyes like a wild animal’s, just waiting for me to make a false move.
I had to unclench my jaw before I talked. “You really think that just because the bitch wants to fuck you, that’s enough for her to admit she’s a traitor?”
“We have a good relationship. She trusts me.”
“She doesn’t trust anybody THAT much. She knows that if she admits what she did, we’ll kill her, so – ”
“Nobody’s killing anybody,” Jack said with cold finality. “Nobody’s hurting anybody, either. Got it?”
I glanced over at Kade. “Then what the fuck do we have him for?”
