I walked into Reno’s warehouse, one of his guys by my side. When I collected money, I took backup, but I never involved Julien or Marco. They were as clean as I could keep them, and they’d stay that way.

Reno wasn’t in his office, but I opened up his safe to drop my weekly deposit. He’d count it later. He trusted me implicitly, but when it came to his money, he didn’t leave room for error. That was the one thing he was on top of. Money was god in his books, and he’d sacrifice anything to get more of it.

Blood was his sacrifice of choice. Not his blood, though.

I found him in a room in the back, the place where he took those who made him unhappy. He was pacing around a bloody man tied to a chair. Reno’s knuckles were cut up, his forehead sweaty. He’d been at this for a while.

When I caught his attention, he grinned. “Yo, man. Your runs go good?”

“Yes. No problems.” I nodded to the man who was too swollen to identify. “What’s up with him?”

Reno flashed a wicked grin and gripped the man’s hair, yanking his head back. “Joshy asked for an extension on his loan. You know I’m a reasonable guy. I allow one extension, which I think is more than generous. Joshy’s on extension number three. Joshy obviously thinks I’m a little bitch. I had to do a little work to relieve him of that notion.”

“Hmmm.” I tucked my hands in my pockets and rocked on my heels. “How much does he owe?”

Reno chuckled. “That’s the funny part. Joshy was down to the last five hundred. He was so close to the finish line, but he had to go fuck it all up.” He bent down, getting in the bloody man’s face. “Not gonna do that again, are you, Joshua?”

Bloody Man grunted in what I assumed was affirmation. I wouldn’t want to get on Reno’s bad side, not because he was so scary, but because he did not give a single fuck. Violence didn’t bother me, but it delighted my brother. He’d barely made it out of high school because he kept getting in fights over the slightest provocation. He’d even punched a teacher, the idiot.

When he finished beating the shit out of Joshua, we went to his office where he counted out the money I’d collected, just as I knew he would.

“How’s it going?” he asked as he put the cash back in his safe. “How are classes?”

“Good. A lot of work.”

He sat down in his chair, shaking his head. “My baby brother, the genius. You’re gonna go straight and make more money than I ever will.”

I turned my hands over in my lap. “That’s the dream. We’ll see.”

He leaned forward, steepling his hands under his chin. “Nah, you will. God didn’t give you that intellect for nothing.”

I narrowed my eyes. “What’s with the flattery?”

That made him rock back in his chair and laugh. “Fuck you very much. I can’t admire my kid brother?”

“I know you.
