King’s eyes narrowed at her.“Do you know where this place is?”
Tameria nodded.“Yeah, it’s a ways down, just outside of Cedar Park.She has been going there at least once a month for the last two years.”
Andy frowned as she didn’t know about this.“What the hell for?”
Tameria sighed hard.“Your mom is getting in deep with a bad MC over that way.I think she’s found a new way to make a bunch of money and I don’t think it’s actually legal but when has that ever stopped the Queen of Mean?”
“What the hell are you talking about?”Andy cocked her head at her.
Tameria sighed heavily.“I've been watching her for a while now, Andy.Bout two years ago she began making trips to Cedar Park and she’d be gone all day.Well one day, I followed her over there and she went to this house.I watched as she went into the house, then an hour later four bikers drove up and they went in too.Then later the bikers left, so I got close to the house, looking in the window, there she was sitting at the kitchen table.I couldn’t believe what I saw.She had a pile of pills on the table along with a pile of cash.She was dividing up the pills into baggies then putting the baggies into a grey satchel and she put the money in her purse.Then she left the house and started driving back to Houston.When she got to the city line she drove out a ways and stopped at an old church.She put that satchel under the front steps and drove away.I waited there for an hour to see who would come, then a couple of bikers pulled into the parking lot.One of them got off his bike and retrieved the satchel then they took off.”
“So you were following her around,” King asked the obvious.
Tameria nodded.“I got an old scooter bike that I fixed up myself.I used it to find out just what all Aunt Sarah was doing.Cause I knew it was bad.I’ve been wanting her to go to jail since I was four years old and learned that I had no decent clothes to wear to kindergarten.I heard my parents arguing about Sarah and Lester, taking all the money and we couldn’t even get school supplies.Never mind all the years after.All the hunger and doing without almost everything.So yes, I followed her everywhere and I kept an eye on that old church.She came back three days later and picked up the satchel again.But before she did, she sat in her car and took out a lot of money, counting it, I think.She then drove away.I followed her and sure enough, she went back to that same old house.Hours later, she returned and put the satchel under the steps at that same church again.”
The hallway got real quiet as her words set in.
Andy shook her head and asked in a pain filled voice, “So, Mom’s playing courier for drugs now too?”
Avery nodded at her.“She would do what makes her the most cash.”
Just then, Grizzly’s voice came from a doorway that led up to the roof, “Can you prove she delivers the drugs?”He stomped down the last few steps and came to stand beside King.He stared at Tameria with a puzzled look on his face.
Chapter Three
Gunner turned to lookat him.“Do you know something about this?”
Grizzly nodded.“I might, but we’d have to catch her with the drugs to connect her to the ring we’re looking for.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”King glared at him.
Grizzly sighed hard then he replied, “There’s a new designer drug coming out.It is making its way around the circuits but we don’t know where it’s coming from.It’s new on the market.”He looked over at Tameria.“Tell me what color the pills are?”
Tameria stared at him and answered, “They’re red and she puts three in each baggie.”
Grizzly nodded.“Damn, that’s the ones.They’re called Red Russians.We’ve just begun to see them out on the streets in the last year and half.But the drugs are becoming very popular and the need is growing on the streets.Reds are showing up everywhere and we haven’t been able to find the source until now.”
