“He's a goddamn geek. Always building something. Good on computers. I don’t know anything about that tech shit. Can’t tell. He fixed the Wi-Fi though a while back for free.”
“Okay. We’ll patch him.”
“Just like that, that's all you need to know.”
“Yeah Riff, that's all I need to know. Have you tried to get on the goddamn Wi-Fi here? Shit’s been messed up until recently. I need somebody for that shit. Fucking cameras go off any time a fly buzzes past them. We're getting notifications all day long. Fucking Asphalt God MC rolled up on my property and took somebody.”
I couldn't even bring myself to say Eve's name with our night fresh in my mind. Riff had interrupted me long enough.
I had a half a mind to go on and patch them all. Especially with Ralph talking about us Bastards in Nashville getting too big. I’d show him how big we’d get. Noah Fond would take notice as well since the mob basically answered to him. Money trumped family, any day.
“Is that all?”
“Well, there is one more thing. Not everyone is accounted for. Nobody’s seen Junebug.”
“I've seen her. I talked to her the other morning. Memphis says she's shacked up with one of the officers. Ralph claims that officer's getting ready to betray me, to go work for the mob. That's something I need you to figure out.”
He could put that on his list.
“One of the officers, who the fuck? I can't think of anybody.”
“Maybe it's you? I have no idea. Figure it out, Riff. That's your job.”
I left Riff to head to Sky. But my stomach rumbled. Since I was already here, I grabbed a plate from the buffet, piled up some biscuits and gravy. I sat in front of Sweet Tea.
“Who shit in your gravy this morning, Honey Pie.”
I had no patience. “You wouldn't happen to know who Junebug shacked up with would you, Sweet Tea.”
The whore thought about it. She stared up the ceiling. She put her finger to her lips. Bitch had claws. She thought about it for a long while as I fed my face. Sweet Tea knew everything that happened at Royal Road. The whore was deciding whether she was going to let it slip. Was she going to let the cat out of the bag?
“Honestly, Kingpin, for once I have no earthly idea. I've heard she's exchanging fluids with somebody is all. I haven't an inkling of who it is. They're all talking about it. But an officer, unlikely. Pagan, it wouldn't be him. He's heartbroken over Jassica. Riff, well... you didn't hear from me. He's getting his end wet by Cece’s new nurse, Penelope.”
“I knew that.”
“Opry’s smashing that new girl. Leo is keeping him satisfied. Haven’t seen him with another. Levi. Well. Could be him. But I doubt it. He gets around but he’s been eyeing this new exotic dancer we hired, Maren.”
“He is?”
Fuck, Levi needed a steady woman. Not just an easy lay. He needed someone to keep his mind off revenge.
“How she working out?”
“Maren? Ask Memphis. Oh, wait, Memphis ain't doing her job.”
“I suppose you think that's my fault.”
“What do you think? All I know is you better get someone else to keep these girls in line. I’d do it if I was being paid for it.”
“Heard. Sweet Tea, congrats on your promotion. Inform Opry. He’ll set you up.”
“Who’ll take over mornings?”
“Opry will figure that out. Back to Junebug.”
“Well. Horror has got a woman now. I'm sure you've heard, Tonya, Buzzard’s daughter. She’s got all those kids. Villain’s drooling over Buzzard’s youngest daughter, Tessa. Gunn still has those two women he’s had for a while. Heard he’s finally got them to live in the same house now. To each their own. But. Nasty. Cousin, I can hardly believe it, he’s putting the moves on crazy Paisley and she’s down.”
“What about Thorn?”
