strutted to the other girls and
snapped her fingers. The two then walked away, collecting their cash.
    Jessa faced me. “ Hey you. ”
    “ Easy, ” I said. “ I ’ m
here to talk to your guy. Make sure you ’ re
not in trouble. ”
    “ No
cash? ”
    “ I
had a long talk with Ransom. I can promise he ’ ll
never do that again. ”
    “ That
doesn ’ t put the money in my
pocket. ”
    “ You
don ’ t have pockets, babe. ”
    Jessa opened the robe and dropped
it. She was wearing white laced panties and a bra. She hooked her thumb into
the panties and pulled them open.
    “ You ’ re right, I don ’ t. But I still need the money. ”
    I rose up from the chair. “ Where ’ s your guy? ”
    “ I ’ m right here. ”
    I turned and saw a guy in a suit,
no tie. He took off black sunglasses and tossed them aside. He had gold rings
on all his fingers. Chubby cheeks, a scar above his left eye, an aura of a complete
asshole.
    “ We
finally meet, ” I said.
    “ Yeah,
right. Where ’ s the four
grand? ”
    I rubbed my chin. “ There ’ s a couple ways I could have done this. First, I
could have just sent my guys down to rough the place up. Fuck all your girls.
Drink all your whiskey. Or I could come down here and face you man to man.
Offer my condolences for what one of my guys did. We ’ re good for our word. And you have to take care of
Jessa. No matter what. ”
    The guy scoffed at me. “ That cunt? She ’ s a dime a dozen. ”
    I threw my hand out and grabbed the
guy by the throat. His eyes instantly went wide. I turned and tossed him into a
table like he weighed nothing. A mirror crashed to the ground and shattered.
    Four women came rushing to check on
things. Two topless, one wearing a robe, the other in some kind of leather get
up that looked like it took her an hour to get into.
    “ It ’ s okay, ” I said. “ Nothing
to worry about. ”
    “ Kill
him! ” the guy yelled from
the ground.
    Two bodyguards appeared from
nowhere. I drew my gun and put my hand out. “ Easy,
motherfuckers. Don ’ t make
this thing bloody. ”
    “ You ’ re fired, Jessa! ”
    “ Fuck
you, Dave! ” Jessa yelled.
    I walked to the guy, Dave, and put
my foot to his throat. “ Listen
to me. These two big guys behind me are smart. They aren ’ t touching me. They know better. ” I looked back. “ Ain ’ t that right? ”
    One of the guys took a step
forward.
    I pointed my gun at his foot and
shot.
    The women screamed but not as much
as the big guy did.
    “ Fuck, ” Dave said. “ Fuck, fuck, fuck …”
    “ That ’ s right, ” I said. I dropped my knee to his chest. He
coughed. “ You ’ re going to pay Jessa like
normal. You ’ re going to
keep her shifts, you ’ re
going to keep her busy. If any of my guys come snooping around, you ’ re going to contact me.
Understand? ”
    Dave nodded. “ Okay. Yes. Sure. ”
    “ Good. ” I stood up. I put my gun away. “ Now, as for the four large … I ’ ll
make sure you get it. I ’ m
in the middle of a war right now. Trust me, Dave, you want me to win it. If I
win, it ’ s good for Oakville
and good for business. Now let me help you up. ”
    I offered Dave my hand and pulled
him to his feet. I then tossed him into his other bodyguard. The big guy caught
Dave and Dave wrapped his legs around him.
    “ Nice
look, ” I said. The girls
started to laugh. I looked at Jessa and nodded. “ There.
We ’ re square now. I ’ ll take care of everything else. ”
    “ Thank
you, ” she said. “ You didn ’ t have to do this. ”
    “ I
did. I don ’ t want you hurt.
Not by that guy. ”
    “ You
want to hurt me? ” she
asked, running a finger down my t-shirt.
    When she got to my belt buckle, I
slapped her hand away. “ Go
dance. Make money. Stop opening your fucking legs for cash. ”
    “ I ’ m going to take advice from a
biker? ”
    “ Never
said you had to take it, babe. ”
    “ Go
fuck yourself, Layne. ”
    Jessa turned and strutted away. I
stood there, like
