Masters & Lovers Box Set Three
Chapter 42
Striding through the bar, “Where is she? Angelo, have you seen her?”
Palms held placatingly upwards, “Hey, Larry calm down. I ain’t done nothing. Yes, I’ve seen her. Cops came sniffing after her. Said she was pushing…”
“That’s crap and you know it…”
“You know it. I know it, but they came asking.”
Something in his manner doesn’t sit well. “What did you tell them?”
His face drops.
“What did you tell them?”
“Hey, they had me in an awkward spot. Got me by the curlies…”
He backs away as I step around the bar, standing close to look down on him. “What did you tell them?”
“They wanted her address and…” He crunches up as my fist sinks into his abs.
“Anything else you told them?”
“No… just that. It’s all the cop wanted…”
Gathering up his shirt in one hand, I haul him upright again, pulling him up and off-balance. “And have you seen her since?”
“Two days ago. She was with Frank. She was pretty upset.”
“She left with him?”
“Yes.”
“Is that all you want to tell me?”
“Yes, that’s it, Larry. Honest.”
I release him and he drops, arms clutched to his stomach. “If I hear that you missed anything, I’ll be back. Understand me?”
Speechlessly, still wheezing, he nods.
