Celeste called in the early afternoon before I had to go to work.

“Can I see you tonight?” she asked.

“As much as I want to, I can’t tonight. I’m working a late shift. What about Friday night? I’ll take you to dinner.”

“Seems so long to wait.”

“Only a couple of days. Just a couple of days. I’m off Friday so we can have all night and through the next if you want.”

“I do want. That’ll make it worth the wait.”

“Yes, it will. Can’t wait to see you.”

“Me too.”

Made me feel good that she called. I had something to look forward to.

We set everything up for the club op at the same time as before.

“I have a feeling Bobby’s gonna push me to be with him,” Erin told Frank.

“He will, and you know never to get in a car, right?”

“Hundred times over, Frankie. Yes.”

“Okay,” he said, and then to Ragland and Cortez, “you guys switch up to uniform and take a marked cruiser just in case it goes sideways. And if it does, you guys act like you’re working prostitution. Just like you’ve done before.”

“Copy that,” Ragland said.

“Park it outta sight from the club. No one’s gonna think twice.”

“Got it.”

They got up and left the room.

“We’ll cover the front,” Frank advised.

We set up. Even found the same illegal parking spot with a good view of the front. Erin was inside and met with Bobby. He was there alone this time. No buddies. Sparkle was at the table with them. Bobby pressed for a private room for the three of them. Sparkle was all in, but Erin said it wasn’t her thing. Bobby eventually backed down. Sparkle went to the stage to do her thing at the pole.

“She’s got nice tits and ass, but not as nice as yours,” Bobby told Erin. “You’d do well here, probably better than any of the girls.”

“I do okay with the job I have. Even better after you hook me up with Trevor again.”

“Like I told you, that’s a dangerous business.”

“Not if I have you by my side.”

“Now we’re getting somewhere.”

“Don’t touch me like that,” Erin told him. “I’m not like one of your girls here.”

“Never thought you were.”

“Then give me some respect.”

“You got all my respect, babe.”

“Where are your other friends, anyway?”

“They got families. Not like me. I’m all by my lonesome.”

“They work with you?”

“Yeah, we all came on the department together. Why you so interested?”

“Just curious is all.”

“Well, we always got each other’s backs and now I have yours and hopefully more.”

“You take care of me, Bobby, and I’ll more than take care of you, but like I told you, it’s all about time and gaining trust. If you want me, you hafta be patient. Okay?”

“I’ll try, babe.”

After about an hour of that shit, Trevor and Bull showed up. And after another hour or so of more bullshitting, the deal was made through Bobby for a ten-pack of heroin and an eight-ball of coke. Marr was more than pleased.

“This is all good, right? ’Cause it’s a lot of money for me and I gotta turn it around fast.
