“I honestly don’t give a fuck if it was her,” Sin said. “But this shit has taken up enough of our time and energy. I’d like to put an end to all of it at the same time if possible.”

“I just want Whitney to no longer be a suspect on anyone’s list—police or otherwise.”

“You’re gonna need strong evidence that suggests someone else killed Glenn to make that happen,” Juice said. “Sounds like that detective has a hard-on for your girl.”

“Obit, let’s get a list going on the board,” Sin said. “What do we need to do to wrap this shit up?”

“Nate and Tate killed Glenn because he stopped making payments on his loan. There should be something at the pawn shop to support that,” Danger said.

“If not, I can fabricate it.” Glitch snapped his fingers. “Just thought of something. While we were waiting for you to get here, I asked Hadley what she knew about the Wood brothers. She told me they moved here from Vegas a few years ago after a falling out with their father. Maybe he showed up here, and they had another one.”

“We could take Nathaniel back to the pawn shop and use one of their guns to shoot him,” I suggested. “Make it look like they had another disagreement with their dad and left town.”

“I don’t know. What about their shit?” Tomb asked. “If they left town, would they leave everything behind?”

“Doubt it. And we don’t have time to clean out their shop and wherever-the-fuck they lived,” Sin said.

“You don’t have to,” Juice said. “You have a body part from each brother. Plant them on Tori. Set it up so it looks like the brothers killed Glenn, then their dad. Then Tori killed them.”

“I don’t know. That timeline is sketchy. The body parts are already a week old.”

“So change it. They kill Glenn. Tori gets their dad to kill them. Then, she kills Nathaniel and disappears with everyone’s money.”

“That version might work better,” Sin said and looked at me. “What about Tori? What do you want to do about her?”

“Grab her and get rid of her. She was going to let Nathaniel kill Whitney for something she knew Whitney didn’t do. I’ve got no problem killing her in return.”

“All right. Stone and Tomb will go with me to get Tori. Then, we’ll finish up with Nathaniel at the pawn shop tonight. Danger, work out the details and have Glitch create whatever documents we need to plant.”

Tomb and I rode with Sin to Tori’s shithole apartment complex on the north side of Palmetto Harbor, but the Friday afternoon traffic was making it take longer than expected.

“Hey, Prez,” Tomb said. “Did you forget something?”

“No. Why?”

Tomb pointed at a car stopped at the light across the street. “Because I’m pretty sure that’s Stevie, and she looks pissed.”

“Fuck! I forgot to send someone to follow her back after work,” Sin groaned. “Call Stevie.”

When the call connected, Lily Allen’s Fuck You blared through Sin’s speakers.

“For fuck’s sake.”

“I don’t think she can hear you,” Tomb said helpfully.

Sin stabbed the screen with his finger and ended the call. “She’ll be fine.”

“Of course she will,” Tomb said. “Will you?”

“Yeah. She’s a lot of bark and no bite.”

“Damn. That sucks, Prez. I hope Hadley bites.”

“Stop talking.”

“But …”
