Austin Carr, you stupid, mother-humping, egotistical, brain-numb jerk.

Here I am on this damn bunk, wrists and ankles wrapped tight in that silver tape. We’ve pulled away from the dock and the boat’s bow is beginning to rise and fall against the Upper New York Bay’s current.

Left to its own entertainment, my mind addresses an imaginary audience: Good evening, folks. Allow me to introduce Austin Carr, this year’s winner of the Golden Dickhead Award. Presented, as always, to that individual making the biggest fool of himself by Thinking With His Penis.

I really do deserve some kind of prize. How could I fall for that redheaded bitch’s bullshit? I can see her green eyes now, fondly gazing into mine, tearing up over Gerry’s faked death. Those trembling lips when she kissed me. Can you believe I honestly thought she’d fallen for the famous, full-boat Carr grin?

A touch of irony there, right? A “full-boat” grin? I have a strong hunch this boat isn’t going to be full long. Soon as they get past the Statue of Liberty, I’ll probably get dumped over the side along with the rest of this ship’s in-marina waste.

I can’t get over how I fell for that redhead’s crap. Not to mention Gerry’s. The FBI and the IRS after him. The son-of-a-bitch is probably one of America’s most wanted tax cheats. All those businesses. All those employees. Leaving the country like this, on a boat. No doubt the IRS’s accusations are entirely accurate. Gerry must have been skipping payroll taxes for years, putting all that money in his pocket.

And what a job I did for him. Laundering that hundred thousand in cash. At least partially hiding two million from the IRS by switching the bonds into Kelly’s maiden name. Shit, they probably are married.

Considering it was a Federal task force that burst into his house the other night, I bet Gerry’s list of crimes ranks badder than awesome. Maybe smuggling illegal aliens would attract the FBI’s involvement, but who knows. Kidnapping? Bank fraud? Hope murder isn’t on the list, although I have a feeling it soon will be.

No way he can let me survive.
