Goldberg replied. “How much money did you invest with this dirt bag?”
“Two million.”
Mr. Goldberg whistled. “Damn that’s a lot of money. I hate to say this, but I think your friend Brent Harrington ran a scam on you.”
“No this can’t be happening,” Ghost said shaking his head. He had invested his entire life savings with Brent. All the money that he had risked him and his sister’s lives was down the drain. Now it all felt like a bad dream, but unfortunately for Ghost, this wasn’t a dream. It was reality. “That was all of my money.”
“Ghost if you need it, I can loan you $10,000,” Mr. Goldberg offered.
“Nah I’m good. I’ll call you in a couple of days.” Ghost stood to his feet and then made his exit.
Ghost slid behind the wheel of his Range Rover and banged on the steering wheel as he cried his eyes out. The feeling of losing all of his money had completely broken him down to the point of no return. “What the fuck am I supposed to do now?” he asked out loud. Ghost was mad at himself for being stupid enough to trust Brent. He didn’t know what he was going to do, but what he did know was that something definitely had to be done.
Chapter 19
Is It Real
“D o you love me?” Dana asked, taking a sip from her glass of wine. Her and Stone had spent the entire night making love and now they were sitting, relaxing in Dana’s hot tub getting their thoughts together.
“Of course I do,” Stone replied as he slowly gave Dana’s foot a strong handed massage. The two of them were really getting hot and heavy for one another and neither cared what anybody thought about it.
“I had a long talk with my brother.”
“Oh yeah?” Stone asked. “How did that go?”
“Better than I thought,” Dana smiled. “He’s starting to accept me as a woman and not just his baby sister anymore.”
“Did you tell him that you weren’t going to Hawaii with him?”
“Yeah I told him.” Dana took a sip from her glass. “At first he wasn’t really feeling it, but the more we spoke, the more he began to accept it.”
While Dana spoke, Stone’s mind was elsewhere. Visuals of the man they called Ghost popped up in his head repeatedly. He couldn’t wait until it was time to arrest the mastermind behind all of the bank robberies. He hoped and prayed that Randy would come through with his promise and convince Ghost and his crew to try and take down another bank.
Once the two were out of the tub, Stone checked his phone to see if he had any missed calls or messages. When he turned back around, he saw Dana standing behind him with her hands hid behind her back and a smile on her face. “Close your eyes. I have a surprise for you,” she told him.
“Huh?”
“Close your eyes baby,” Dana said excitedly.
Stone closed his eyes and waited until Dana told him he could open them. Stone opened his eyes and saw a beautiful diamond studded Rolex sitting in a box.
“Surprise!” Dana shouted extending the box towards Stone.
Stone looked down at the diamond watch with a shocked look on his face. The watch was beautiful and from the looks of it, very expensive. “I can’t accept this.” He held the box back towards Dana.
“It’s a gift from me to you,” Dana smiled. “You are my man now and my man wears nothing but the best or nothing at all.”
“This watch had to have cost you a small fortune,” Stone said as he slid the watch down on his wrist and watched as the diamonds danced in the light.
“Money is no object when it comes to you,” Dana said. She had saved most of her money from the bank jobs so she wouldn’t lose any sleep over the money she spent on the watch. The truth was, she loved Stone, and would do just about anything to keep him happy.
“You sure you can afford this baby?”
“Stop worrying about money baby,” Dana laughed. “I got us.”
Stone was about to reply when he heard his cell phone ring. He looked down at the screen and saw Captain Fisher’s name
“Two million.”
