Dice turned to the guy and smiled cruelly. “You know exactly who I am.”
The guy blinked and turned to run. Unfortunately for him, Flint had gotten to his feet and closed the bedroom door without anyone noticing.
“Look, man,” the guy stammered. “You told me not to sell any drugs to Tawny. And I haven’t.”
Dice nodded. “Yeah, I know.”
“So, uh, what seems to be the problem?”
“The problem is,” Flint said darkly as he grabbed the guy from behind and wrapped an arm around his chest, “someone drugged my sister and tried to rape her.” The flick of Flint’sswitchblade echoed through the room a second before he held it against the guy’s throat. “She’s on the floor bleeding, and I’m not going to be happy until I’ve done the same to everyone who hurt her.”
“I didn’t touch your sister. I swear.”
“Did you drug her?”
“No!”
“Did you sell whatever was used to drug her?”
“No! I had nothing to do with it.”
One of the other guys who had come into the room with him was shaking like a leaf and looked like he was about to piss himself.
“Dice, grab Dumbass Number Two. I want to have a word with Trembly in private. Flint, if that one gives you any trouble, kill him. We can feed his body to the hogs,” I said, even though we didn’t have hogs. We had pigs.
Grabbing the shaking dude, I yanked him into the bathroom. “Talk!” I demanded.
“I didn’t know my brother was having a party. He said he needed a ride to the store. He’s the one on the floor, Calvin. Dumbass Number Two is Leon. The other guy, the one you said sold drugs to your sister, is Willy. They do this shit a lot. I don’t like it, and I don’t want anything to do with it. If you let me go, you can do whatever you want to them. I won’t say a word. I swear. I’ve never met you or your friends.”
“Well, I’m a little disappointed. You made that too easy.”
“My brother’s been trying to get me to be a part of his crew for a while. I don’t want to, and this is one of many reasons,” he said.
“What’s your name?”
“Tripp Reynolds,” he answered immediately.
“Do you know what they gave the girls?”
He shook his head. “No, but I think it’s blue or something. My brother was bitching about one of his friends getting the wrong color cups for the party.”
I wanted to thank the little shit for being so helpful, but I didn’t want to put a damper on my threat. “If you’re lying, you’re dying.”
“Okay,” he nodded, seeming less scared than before I threatened him.
Fuck.
“I’m funny, not nice. I’ll fucking kill you.”
“Understood,” he said.
“Wait in here while we take care of things. Then you can leave.”
“Um, thanks,” he said. “And, uh, I hope the girls are okay.”
“Yeah, me too.”
I closed the door to the bathroom and returned to the bedroom to find Flint still holding his knife to Willy’s throat. Calvin was still passed out on the floor, and Leon had joined him.
