Chapter Seven
Alittle while later, the girls parked their motorcycles in a hidden spot only Jelly Bean knew about.
Yes, they both had bikes now.They insisted on buying them with payments to Leon after he offered to get them vehicles of their choice.
They then walked a half block to find Oscar in the park.
Oscar watched as the girls walked up to his bench and he just stared at them before he motioned for them to sit.“What do I owe the pleasure of you two girls coming to see an old man like me?”
Jelly Bean reached out and patted his hand.“I love you, old man.Never forget that.”
He slowly nodded his head then he looked away for a minute.
The girls waited for him to speak again.
“So, what is happening exactly?”he asked them.
“Well, you know there’s been trouble here, right?”Jelly Bean asked him.“Cartel trying to move into Boston.”
Oscar nodded.“Yeah, been hearing about that.But Mr.V won’t let them.He sorta took out the trash the other day, right?”
Jelly Bean nodded.“Yeah, he did.Only problem is some late comer trash followed the cartel here and we met one of them today.Wahda dumbass too.He just climbed over Mr.Leon’s wall and tried to walk up to his door just as bold as you please.”
Oscar just stared at her then threw his head back to laugh deeply and loudly enough to disturb the birds.He even wiped his eyes and then he shook his head.“That takes real balls, ladies.I mean really?He just jumped over Leon’s fence and headed up to the house?Wow, that’s some kind of crazy.”
Jelly Bean nodded.“Yeah, but he was higher than a kite when he did it.He even told us he was hoping to make his bones by killing Leon for the cartel.When we told him that Leon had taken care of the cartel, he didn’t believe us.”
Oscar looked down at the bats in the girl’s hands.“Did you convince him, old school style?”
Jelly Bean shrugged.“We did our best to protect Leon’s house.“
“With those bats?”Oscar asked, knowing the answer before they even admitted it.
Jelly shrugged.“It’s all we had.”
Rebel chuckled.“My sister is lying.We each have a gun and a switchblade.”
Jelly Bean shrugged.“We just preferred using our bats on this particular nimrod.He did the same to his little sister, nearly crippled her.”
“So, we also despised this creep,” Rebel admitted.
Oscar paused and looked at them both.“I see.”He knew these girls could and would do serious damage to men who beat on women.“So why did you come see me then?”
