Your brother and Louie could be best friends.
Cade
No, thanks. They'd lead each other to an early grave.
I laugh, but I know he doesn't mean it.
Jack has done fucked-up things and lost his girl to his brother through his own idiotic behavior. We taught the kid a lesson, but Jack has also grown a lot.
And Cade loves his little bro.
I'm fond of the prick, too.
Not that this helps.
If Louie gets caught up in an investigation, then I will, too.

We need to get this clean.
I look over it.
Cade has more power right now than I do.
I press call. "How far back?"
"Man, this friend is a mess. But I can send you your safeguard program. You're on your laptop?"
"In a car."
"Make the tweaks and send it. I will put it in. His shit goes back at least two years."
"That is how long Barwon has been flying." I frown. "We should make sure the time right before is clean, too."
"I will look at all of it. I will be quicker here. Just update the systems, and I will put them in place."
I get started as soon as he sends me the program. I want to clean all of the money earned by the company since it started, so over the past two years.
I send it to Cade.
"Got it," he says.
Next, I start going over exactly what Louie did to Edoardo.
"Fuck me..." And I start to laugh.
"What?"
I send Cade all the things I find. Because Louie is great at keeping a trail of what he does, but not so good at self-preservation.
"Fuck," Cade says. "That is a long list. And he is still around?"
"Somehow."
"It is not really funny," Cade says.
