THEN
It’s bizarre how I ended up in this mess. Quite the re-entry to life.
After the massacre at Vernon’s place, I survived under the radar in
Canada for nearly two years. Rebuilding a life after my breakdown,
stealing sometimes, sure, but working too. Taking cash-in-hand
laboring jobs, doing some less-than-honest work for less-than-honest
people here and there. I don’t really know how to do anything else.
But I tried, hiding out after the debacle with Vernon, a long way
from the scene of those crimes. In a way it was peaceful for a while,
but always looking over your shoulder takes its toll. Then these
shithead ghosts started cropping up again. I guess they weren’t part
of the breakdown after all. Or maybe I’m lining up to lose it again.
That’s an ongoing concern.
“Probably wanna pay aention up here, dude.”
Those words marked their return. Michael Privedi, my best friend.
I shot him in the head when we were about twenty years old, to save
my skin. It was his fault, he’d crossed Vern, but I guess he still thinks
it’s unjust that I took him out. I was following Vernon’s orders or I’d
be dead now too. Perhaps that would have been beer. Maybe that
would be justice. Who knows?
I tried not to look at him on the barstool next to mine, half his
head blown away, flesh and bone hanging wet, teeth a rictus grin
where his cheek was torn free by the bullet I put in his other ear. His
collar burgundy from the blood soaked into it.
“Up where?” I asked quietly. I didn’t want to draw aention to
myself, talking to someone I knew no one else could see or hear.
Michael nodded upwards, at the big-screen TV above the bar.
Following his gaze I was startled to see Carly Sykes, looking hoer
than ever, so seled into her role as a matriarch of organized crime.
She’s only twenty-two, but hell, she’s a queen. Frowning, I tried to
figure out where she was and realized it was a courthouse. That’s
where I’d last seen her, maybe six months ago, on the news. Now
she’s at it again.
A scrum of reporters surrounded her. Carly smiled like a movie
star.
“Miss Sykes, would you care to comment on the verdict?”
“It’s exactly as I always said it would be, I’m innocent and my
associates are innocent. This has been nothing but police harassment
from the beginning. I know Vernon was a bad man, but look what
happened to him! I’m not about to follow in those footsteps.”
