Chapter 6
Bobby wanted to be sure everything was in its proper place and made another call. Ring, ring, ring, ring. He thought;
“Come on, Vinny. Don’t fuck me up.” Ring, ring. An answer.
“Who the fuck is disturbing my card game?”
“Vinny, it’s Tony.”
“Hey, good to hear from you, it’s been a while. Odd time to call. You must be desperate. What’s up?”
“I’ve been all over the country, you know, working hard. I haven’t been taking a lot of breaks lately. Sorry I lost track of time. How have you been?”
“Same old, it’s been easy. Maybe after the market got used to the quick, efficient hits, they come up with the money quick.
Some of these guys would have their wife, mama and babies doing porn before they risk seeing guys like you. I’ve been playing a lot of cards, taking it easy. Hey, do you finally want to borrow some money? You know, I’ll give you the best rate.”
“You’re a mind reader. Yeah, three million.”
Vinny was surprised. “You’re shitting me, right?”
“No, I’m dead serious.”
“What for?”
“You’ve been offering money to me for years, no strings.
Now you got questions. The answer is business ... mine.”
“Hey, okay, okay. Just making conversation. When are you going to pick it up?”
“Day after tomorrow, if possible.”
“I’ll be ready, my friend.”
“See you then.”
“All right.”
Vinny’s operation was in Vegas. It’d be a long day tomorrow; he was hoping to relax and see Kelly early and tell her a few things and wished time would slow down. He went back to the motel and was able to sleep.
