THIRTEEN

THROAT PUNCH

FIX

Rabbit wasn’t happy with me. That’s what Monica had said. Why the fuck wasn’t Rabbit happy with me? I sent the bastard work every damn day of the week. I paid him three times the amount anyone else did when they hired him. I didn’t owe him anything—it was a point of principle that I never owed anyone anything—so what could Rabbit possibly be shitty about? The guy was unassuming. Five foot nine. Quiet. A nerd, there was no denying it, but he wasn’t your archetypal geek with glasses, braces, bad skin and greasy hair. He worked out. He wasn’t going to be winning any body building contests any time soon, but he kept himself in relative shape. He wore expensive button-down shirts, and even more expensive Amiri jeans, and he held these little mixer parties every once in a while, just to remind people how important and awesome he was.

He knew a lot of people, and therefore he knew a lot of people’s secrets. When you were wrist deep in someone’s data on their laptop, it was hard not to accidentally notice something damning, illegal, or just plain fucked up. The things he found on some computers had people screaming and begging for him not to go to the cops. He never went to the authorities. He played it cagey, though, acting up enough that, when he asked for a hefty increase in his fee for extra ‘parts and labor,’ not a one of those rich motherfuckers ever made a peep.

It had been a while since I’d been to one of Rabbit’s parties, but I knew what to expect. It would be an even split: a group of twenty-something-year-old kids, high as fuck and out of their goddamn minds, dancing like they were the ones who discovered expression through goddamn movement or some other bullshit. And at the bar and sitting in dark corners, a bunch of older, stuck up well-to-dos with their hands in their pockets, all talking in code, hating each other. The air would be thick with jealousy, pride, arrogance, and deafeningly bad EDM music. I had to hand it to Rabbit, though. He blew an inconceivable amount of money on his parties, so there was always enough booze. And party favors, if that was your thing. Usually there’d be a group of girls fingering each other in the pool by the end of the night.

Monica was right. Taking Sera along to this thing was a bad fucking idea. Rabbit was as paranoid as they came and was constantly accusing people of being cops. He’d done an array of questionable things on the dark web. Had been involved in an underground supply and demand site that had catered to just about every messed up, dark, deviant desire known to man, and the administrator of that site had been arrested just under a year ago. His ass was still rotting in jail, awaiting trial, and Rabbit was convinced his old boss was going to start spilling people’s real names and addresses to the authorities in order to reduce his own sentence.
