Chapter Eighteen

“We may have a problem,” Marcel said.

“Problem?” Luther Howard asked in a voice that was so cold and hard it made Marcel Brown nervous. In fact, everything about Luther Howard made Marcel nervous.

Luther Howard was amused over the effect he was having on Marcel Brown and Sonny Washington. It was crystal clear that both men were afraid of him. But then, they needed to be afraid. Luther didn’t have any qualms about ordering hits on people he considered a useless nuisance.

“Are you okay, Marcel?” Luther asked with a smile that was so menacing, Marcel and Sonny began to have some serious doubts about working with this man.

“Yeah, man. I’m good,” Marcel lied.

“Well, you look paranoid to me,” Luther said.

“Naw, nothing paranoid here,” Marcel lied again. He was more than paranoid. He was petrified. Luther Howard was mean and he dealt with some terrifying people.

Whenever Marcel knew he had to meet with Luther, he always came up with an escape plan, just in case Luther got mad and tried to kill him. He even practiced holding his breath, keeping his eyelids from fluttering, and lying completely still, as if he were dead when he was at home alone. It never hurt to be prepared when dealing with a man like Luther Howard.

Marcel Brown had spent over half of his life being unprepared whenever he was knee-deep in some dirt. This time he was not going to get caught, he was not going to get hurt, and he definitely was not going to get himself killed.

“From the look on your face that said, ‘Why is the B calling me,’” Luther answered, and got up out of his chair.

“Handle your business while I’m handling my business in the toilet, Franklin,” Luther said. “I don’t want to be bothered with you and your woman when I’m done.”

Xavier nodded and started to text his wife. Luther snatched the phone out of his hand and pushed the end button on the phone. He said, “Call that woman,” and hurried into the toilet.

Xavier took the phone back, and got up and went over to the window. This hotel suite overlooked Lake Michigan. He hadn’t been too keen on coming to Chicago from North Carolina in December. But this view was so incredible it was almost worth his teeth chattering every time a gust of arctic air rushed over him in the Windy City.

“What do you want?” Xavier snapped into the phone.

Sonny Washington looked at Marcel. Shaking his head he said, “Man, Franklin is dumber than I thought he was. How is he going to talk to his woman like she’s his ‘I need to call somebody ho’ and think that crap is gonna fly?”

Marcel shrugged and shook his head in disgust. He stared at Xavier over
