Chapter 50: LaPurisma Revisited

Eddie Chavez choked Frankie until she passed out. He secured her ankles and wrists with duct tape and encircled tape around her mouth. When she regained consciousness, she found herself on the bench-seat of the limousine. She made the fatal mistake of threatening Robbie earlier, with a promise of exposing his malfeasance to Connie and Roger. In Robbie’s world that was unforgivable. It meant there was only one solution for a disloyal colleague.

Murder.

"We can't let this bitch get to Roger!” Robbie uttered.

“What do you want me to do boss? Eddie replied.

“We got to make her disappear."

"So, you want her dead? Eddie asked.

“I don’t think there’s any other way. Let’s take her where the body can't be found and finish her off. I’ll tell Roger she got religion and took off. You got any ideas Eddie, where we can dump her body?”

“I’ll cut her throat and just dump her here” Eddie replied.
