Tripp
Zipping my pants, I turned to look at the woman lying on the bed.
Last night—no, that would be early this morning—must have been one
helluva celebration for a job well done. I had no idea where I was or why
there was a half-naked woman lying on the bed. I was wearing shorts and a
wife beater when I rolled from under the covers.
Confused, I scrubbed a hand over my beard. I didn’t normally sleep
with clothes on if there was a woman in my bed.
Color me confused as hell.
That was it. No more alcohol for me.
I really need to get my head out of my ass and back into the game.
I’d just finished one job, time to move on and find another. The job? To
keep a self-righteous prick from getting the life beat out of him; or worse.
Yeah, it wasn’t a fun job for me, but it paid well. This little shit thought he
was a big bad racer. Well, too bad for him, he’d aligned himself with some
serious bad apples. The race in the desert last night had turned into a
bloodbath.
I’d had the foresight to stop the kid before he left his hotel. He needed
to see what he was dealing with. Vegas thugs were no better or worse than
others. These jokers just seemed to be above the law. Maybe they had an
inside person, or they were just damn lucky. Either way, I needed this kid to
see what he was risking.
It hadn’t taken much to get him to agree to go with me, to keep an open
mind. If he wanted to go out and be a reckless idiot after that, well, I’d done
what I could. He was technically grown and would have to make his own
choices sometimes.
We’d stayed back, up the hill from the race. I made him watch as car
after car crashed or flipped for no apparent reason. The amount of alcohol
and drug use in that environment blew my mind. After one spectacular
crash, the driver’s crew got involved. Gunfire rang out through the open sky
and bodies hit the dirt.
I’d done my part earlier and called the police. They just hadn’t gotten
there in time to keep the firefight from happening. I’d climbed down off
that hill, the rock crunching under my boots, and dragged the moron with
me.
His daddy, a highly recognized man in his own right, had sent someone
to pick him up and escort him to the private hangar of the airport. For my
part, I’d received a wire transfer for ten thousand and two in cash. I needed
travel money, after all. Being a man for hire, for a certain group of people,
could be tiresome. The money though, that kept me going.
I made sure the woman was breathing; I didn’t need any dead bodies on
my watch. It took a few minutes to gather up the rest of my things from the
room and head out to my 1982 Jeep Cherokee.
