CHAPTER 11

Squeeze watched the clock as it changed from 8:36 to 8:37 a.m. “I have a deep respect for a man who rises with the sun to take care of his business. It’s a display of…character.” He stood at a wet bar, adjacent a floor-to-ceiling wall window that overlooked the lake. He fixed himself a stiff drink, then offered GP one.

“No thanks.”

“A hundred stacks is a lot of cash to borrow on an artist’s salary.” Squeeze threw back the alcohol as if it were a glass of water. “What’s your gamble: cocaine, hoes, guns, heroin, blackjack?”

GP was watching the big Spanish guy shifting his weight from one foot to the other, smacking on chewing gum. “Your concerns are out of order. What I do with the money ain’t your business. I thought, in your line of work, pay day was your only concern.”

Squeeze laughed as he stared through the window, one hundred stories down. “Three weeks. Thirty-five percent interest. Five thousand-dollars-a-day late fee. My suggestion to you, old friend, is to be as punctual in paying me as you were in picking the cash up. You’d hate it if we fell out.” He nodded at Hector.

Hector left the room and returned in less than a minute with ten crisp stacks of money.

GP shoveled the money into a drawstring nylon bag. “Thanks, man. I really appreciate this.”

“I hope so.” He turned away from his endless view to watch GP being ushered out the door. He poured himself another drink.

Hector closed the door behind GP, then looked back at Squeeze.

“Follow him. Find out what he’s into and who he’s doing it with. Find out where he and that pretty woman of his rest their heads at.”

Hector grunted and headed out the door.
