Chapter 6

Remy watched Lizzy sleep. He knew he had to wake her up, but he dreaded it. The money Bancroft had slipped him last night was between him and his Lizzy. Giving it to her was going to cause some trouble. Not for him, he hoped, but when she hunted down Bancroft. That thought made him smile.

“What’s so funny?” He leaned over and kissed her. “That’s a wonderful thing to wake up to, but from the look on your face, I’d say you’re trying very hard not to tell me something. Why is that? I have never hit you. Tempted at times, really, but I’ve refrained. Just tell me.”

“Richardson’s maker decided to turn over the money to Bancroft because he is the kiss leader.” She nodded but didn’t sit up just yet. “Yes, well, after he divided the money up the way he should have— By the way, did Kelly tell you that two of the wives had been sold to Richardson? That’s the most horrid thing I’ve—”

“Stanley Remy, you’re stalling.” He grinned. “You’re making me very nervous. Just tell me what sort of damage I am going to have to do to Bancroft for giving me the amount that is going to piss me off.”

“You’re going to murder him, I think.” He handed her the envelope. “I have one as well. Not nearly as much as there is in that one. Cash is the way we usually dish out money like this. It makes it so we can spend it without having to explain how we got it.”

“You’re babbling again.” She opened the top flap of the envelope and then closed it. “There is a lot of money in here. Even if it were all ones, which I’m assuming it’s not, that’s a great deal of money.”

“It’s all hundreds and fifties. Yes, it’s a great deal of money. As I said, I have one too, as Richardson tried to blame me for making baby vamps and not caring for them.” She dumped the envelope on the bed after sitting up. “I like the way it’s all bundled up. It makes it easier to know just how much is there. Did you count it?”

“There are two hundred bundles of one hundred dollar bills here, Remy. That’s two million dollars. There are—” She counted his hundred bundles. “Remy, there is over three million dollars here. We can’t take that. What about the other families?”

“They were all paid too. A million each. Other than the two families where the husbands sold them, and the family of the woman who only had her father left. He killed himself rather than face the world without her.” She glared harder. “Plus scholarships have been set up to help the victims and others. That makes it easier to explain to someone that a victim’s fund is where the money came from.”

“I don’t want this.” He pulled the other three envelopes out from under his pillow. “If that’s more money, I’m not going to be happy. I mean, I love having money, but not at the expense of someone being killed for it.
