“Louder!” Lou yelled.
“I’m sorry!” Benjy cried out, and began to sob violently. Tears ran down his face. “I’m sorry – I’m sorry, I’m sorry – ”
“Shut up,” Lou snapped, and cuffed him over the head with the butt of his pistol.
Benjy stopped talking, though he still kept whimpering like a sick animal.
I wanted to vomit.
I had finally found out who Ali’s killer was… and the truth was even more upsetting than not knowing. At least five minutes ago I still believed it was some scumbag who deserved the electric chair.
Not a guy with the mind of a child, who probably hadn’t known what the hell he was doing.
“Jesus Christ,” Jack whispered, his voice full of shock.
I glanced over at him. He looked physically ill.
Exactly how I felt.
“Now you know,” Lou said. “So – we good now? You get Benjy, and I get Einstein there, and we all go our separate ways?”
“Wait a minute,” Jack called out. “How did you find out, Lou?”
Lou seemed confused by the question. “…what?”
“How did you find out it was Benjy? And when? And why the hell didn’t you tell us?” Jack yelled.
“I only found out in the last two weeks, asshole. You and I weren’t exactly on speaking terms, remember? Now are we gonna – ”
“She was gonna mess up the club, Jack,” Benjy wailed. “That’s why I did it – ”
My stomach knotted up.
The DEA – Ali was going to mess up the club by ratting them out to the DEA –
But there was something strange there, too.
According to Jack, Lou knew Ali was a snitch.
So why hadn’t he mentioned it?
“Shut up!” Lou barked at Benjy.
But Benjy kept going, almost stumbling over his words in a panic. “She was working with some other biker gang – Lou said so – ”
Biker gang?
“SHUT UP!” Lou screamed, and pistol-whipped him in the face, sending him to his knees.
It felt like ice water flooded through my body.
She was working with some other biker gang – Lou said so –
Even though Lou knew she was snitching for the DEA.
Lou said so.
Lou was behind all of this.
