CHAPTER TWELVE

After dropping off Trina and her Mercedes, Reno and Dommi piled into Reno’s Porsche and made their way to the poolhall. Trina had protested. She wanted to go search down that Jaylin character too. But Reno had his limits.

“No,” he said bluntly.

“But what if you need---”

“No,” Reno said again and gave Trina that certain look. It wasn’t the same chilling look he gave to Dommi and his other children. It was a look that made clear where her safety was concerned, she was not to question him. It was that I can show you better than I can tell you look that Trina knew too well. She backed off.

But as soon as father and son walked into the poolhall, both in their expensive suits and looking like the very mobsters they didn’t want to emulate, all eyes were on them. Because they were in a poolhall on the seedier side of town. Because they both wore suits. But mostly because every con in Vegas knew who Reno Gabrini was.

At first, to Dommi, there didn’t appear to be anybody in charge. Just a bunch of muscle heads hanging out. But Reno saw the head man as soon as they walked in. Dommi was looking at the reaction of the people to his presence. Reno was looking in corners. Smart men knew to always hang where there was an easy out. The front door was never an easy out.

In one of those corners was a tall black guy who began to slowly creep backwards as if he was trying to plot his getaway. Bingo, Reno thought. That was the boss. That was Jaylin.

And as soon as Reno’s eyes met Jaylin’s eyes, the big guy took off, through a back hall.

“Get his ass!” Reno yelled to Dommi. He knew his son was way faster than he ever was. He knew Dommi could run rings around him.

And Dommi didn’t hesitate. He looked where his father was looking and saw the guy running down that back hall. He took off after him with that speed Reno knew he had, while Reno took off out of the front door.

The back door at the end of the hall flew open, and Jaylin, no running slouch himself, ran like the wind. Dommi was shocked at how fast the guy was, but he was fast too. And he ran behind him.

Dogs were barking as they ran through a back alley.

A mother with two small children grabbed them and pulled them back when the two men ran through the alley and across the sidewalk. Then they ran down the street.

Reno had gotten in his Porsche and now it was swerving around the corner as soon as Dom and Jaylin started running down the street. But Jaylin suddenly ducked into another alley, causing Dom to follow him, and causing Reno to upshift again and speed past the narrow alley, around the corner, and make his way toward another side street. And then he floored it.

And it worked. Because as soon
