Chapter 37: CALHOUN

“Are you fucking kidding me? What do you mean you can’t get to them? Where are they?”

“They’re in the same place as before, but the new guy has it locked down.”

“What? Why? Did he find them? Has the operation been compromised?” Just another headache I don’t need. I knew I should’ve looked into this guy myself.

“No-no, it’s nothing like that. The whole place is crawling with bugs; there’s even one of those tarps over it like they do when there are termites.” I held his face in my hand. Why was everything going to shit all of a sudden? And why did it only start happening after that kid moved here?

First, I’d lost the girl who was going to be bringing in way more than my usual cut since it was a side deal that no one else knew about, and now this cluster fuck. At first, I’d been skeptical. I was afraid it was too good to be true, that maybe it was some sort of sting operation by the Feds, but I was sure that no one suspected me of a thing.
