CHAPTER 13

The next day Lucky made three trips to the pharmacy to lug up a single delivery. Maybe now Bo would no longer be mistaken for the walking dead. Neither would Ava and Martin.

He stepped off the elevator with his empty cart, Ava’s happy squeals still ringing in his ears, and he swore Martin hadn’t hugged him in gratitude but rather to grope his ass.

“Oh my God, I can’t believe it.” Sammy came running out of the clerk’s office. “They let Danvers go! Fired him! Canned him! I heard from a guy in security. They’re walking him out now.”

What? “Why?”

“He pissed off the wrong people. Apparently, he bought drugs from someone the big wheels told him not to, and now he’s going down.” Sammy rubbed his hands together, a grin creasing his pudgy cheeks. “’Bout time if you ask me, strutting ’round here like he owns the place ’cause he married money.”

“Oh shit!” With Danvers gone, Bo became the hospital’s buyer, a position that just might kill him.

“‘Oh shit’ is right,” the normally silent receiving clerk exclaimed. “Tomorrow’s going to be hell.”

“What do you mean?” Lucky asked.

“You’ll find out tomorrow.”

* * * “You gonna be okay?” Lucky lay back in his bed, Bo’s head cradled to his chest. He idly ran his fingers up and down his lover’s back. The closed bedroom door helped muffle the chaos filtering through the living room from the next apartment, but not much. If it weren’t for the threat of blowing Bo’s cover, he’d say the hell with it and move to the nice part of town, pimpmobile and all.

“I reckon. The hospital administrator stopped by today to make sure I was up to the job.”

“Are you?”

“I suppose I should be pissed off at your lack of faith in me, but the truth is, I honestly don’t know. I’m in over my head. Sure I helped place orders at some of the pharmacies I worked for, but nowhere near the scale of Rosario’s purchase orders.”

“What’d the admin say?”

“We held a conference call with Walter who agreed I’d continue on as buyer while Rosario finds someone else. Danvers had only been there less than a year, and from what I heard, he’d started trying to bring in Primero a week after he started.”

A red flag waved. “That’s odd. Walter believed Primero to be a new kid on the block.”

Bo shrugged, shoulder bumping against Lucky’s. “Even though he makes good money, I don’t understand how Danvers affords the lifestyle he keeps bragging about. He’s got a five bedroom weekend house on Lake Hartwell, owns a condo on Edisto Island, has pictures of a yacht on his desk, and lives in a gated community. He spent a month in Europe last year with his family.”

“Sammy down in receiving said something about marrying money. His wife must be rich.”

“Maybe.” Bo yawned. “I may not be able to afford a condo, but summer’s coming. What say after we wrap up here we go away somewhere? We don’t have to go hiking if you don’t want to.
