THE PARTY STARTED at one in the afternoon. Timmy and Pops showed up early. JJ and I hung back. Weâd be fashionably late.
Timmy called to check in around two. He said, âThe guys are on edge, but ready. Thereâs a lot of boozing but not much druggingâexcept for Vicodin. Theyâre popping them like Pez candies.â
I said, âFigures.â
âYeah. Theyâre anxious. Thereâs a lot of shop talk too. Doug and Hank have some shit they wanna sell today. Some other guy wants to sell us a full-auto. Billy told Pops he wants to sell him a couple shotguns, ASAP.â
I said, âJesus, weâre like Guns-R-Us.â
Timmy laughed and said, âYep.â I told him Iâd sign some cash out of our safe before we headed over. He said, âGood. Weâll probably need it.â
We hung up. I called Slats and let him know the situation. He told me thereâd been no reports of Mongol activity in Laughlin.
JJ and I got to the bar around five. The mood was strange. The guys were serious but mellow, zonked by massive quantities of alcohol and painkillers.
JJ broke off to talk to the girls. I went to talk to Timmy, Smitty, and Joby. We said hello and gave each other hugs. Joby, a nondrinker, was not dulled by booze. Smitty was distant but serious looking. This was his party in his town, and he didnât want anything to break bad, but if it did, heâd be ready.
Joby spouted the usual invective against his Mongol enemies. For the time being, they remained imaginary, as did the violence he would unleash upon them. Smitty leaned close and said, âSo far, so good.â
âThatâs good news,â I said.
Joby closed his eyes and shook his head forcefully. âFuck that. I want those fuckers to show!â Then he nodded to someone over my shoulder and excused himself. Once he was out of earshot, Smitty asked, âYou remember those silencers you showed me?â
âSure do.â
âYou change your mind about selling them?â
âTheyâre already sold, Smit. Sorry,â I lied.
âWell, you getting more?â
âNot at the moment. Whatâs up?â
âCan you put me in touch with your guy? Iâd love to get one of those for my Ruger.â
I told Smitty Iâd look into it. He said good.
JJ did a few deals, got some Vicodin, and bought a little Baggie of meth from Dolly. JJ told me later that Lydia kept telling her how impressed everyone was with me and the Solos, and how happy she was, personally, that I had such a solid girlfriend in JJ. JJ told me sheâd blushed when Lydia told her that, that she was actually flattered. Lydiaâs words gave JJ confidence, and like a good undercover, JJ flipped that confidence back onto Lydia in the form of credibility.
JJ was getting accepted far more quickly than I couldâve ever imagined.
JJ became our drug clearinghouse for the evening. They were all small quantities, but she needed to make an evidence drop. It looked unlikely, but we had to assume weâd still have an altercation with the Mongols, which meant weâd be dealing with law enforcement first-responders who wouldnât know about our undercover status.
