The Lovely Reckless
“Or, like Lex, Abel, and me, until you are knee-deep.
Nobody knows we came to V Street tonight, and it’s the last place anyone would look for us. Why didn’t I leave Dad a note? Nothing too specific, or he’d send his cop buddies to find me the minute he realized I’d snuck out. Just a trail of bread crumbs to follow in case something went wrong.
Now Turk holds all the cards.
“This is bullshit.” Abel’s jaw twitches. “I only owe you five hundred bucks. You can’t hustle me just because you know I’ve ...got money.”
“I can do whatever I want because this”—Turk opens his arms wide—“is my house. That means you play by my rules.”
“Fine. Take me to an ATM, and I’ll get the rest,” Abel says.
“You aren’t real smart, are you, Rich Boy? ’Cause we covered this after the race. Do I look like a taxi service?” Turk’s neck muscles bulge, distorting the words on his neck.
Even if I throw in my two hundred, Abel will still be short a hundred dollars. I don’t see Turk giving him a discount.MoreLess
