“Aren’t you forgetting to give me something?”
“What?”
“My credit card.”
“Oh, that. I forgot I had it.”
“I bet you did.”
“Hey, I didn’t spend anything I wasn’t owed.”
“Mhhmm.”
“Consider it my bonus for all the extra hours I put in covering Faye’s shifts.”
“Right,” he mutters.
“Where is Faye?”
“You didn’t hear?”
“No. What?”
“Caught her in bed with Dirty.”
“Shut the fuck up.”
“Watch your mouth.”
“Oh, come on. That’s so fucked up.”
“You don’t have to tell me.”
“What did you do? Is she alive?”
“What do you take me for? I don’t go around killing everyone.”
No, but he has killed before. I keep that thought to myself. “I know that, but that’s your wife and your brother.”
“Like I need a reminder. Part of my deal with Big Daddy was Faye marrying in, so I told her when we get divorced she can marry Dirty.”
“That’s an interesting punishment.”
“They deserve each other.”
“I mean, I guess she has a type.”
That earns me a laugh.
“Take care of that noggin.”
“You take good care of Jessika. I like her.”
“Me too.”
I snort. “I’d hope so, all the trouble you’re going through to keep her safe.”
“You’re really okay with Gray and this Kaylene shit?”
