“Go by my daughter’s house, make sure she and the baby are okay. When you’re done find that asshole and bring him to me.”

“Like now?” Jimmy asked clearly aggravated.

“Yes, now!” Victor ordered.

“For fuck’s sake,” Jimmy groaned.

It was eating away at me that Jimmy was being ordered and not me, but what could I do? I reached into my pocket and slid the envelope across Vic’s desk.

“It’s all there plus another G,” I mumbled, rising to my feet. “It’s been a long day, I got shit to do.” I pushed out my chair and walked towards the door.

“What about your share?” Jimmy asked.

“Hey Anthony …,” Vic called, forcing me to turn around and look at him. He paused for a moment before sighing and giving me a slight shake of his head. “Don’t do anything stupid,” he lectured knowingly.

I walked out the fucking door, knowing exactly where I was going and what the fuck I would do. So did Victor, and to my surprise, he didn’t stop me.
