her.
The reaction she had on me blew my mind, and I couldn’t get a hold of it. I couldn’t understand how I responded to her so well. The only thing I could think was, She’s changing me . Now I wouldn’t say she’d changed me completely. I still had my dark, twisted urges, but I didn’t sightsee, I didn’t swim with fucking dolphins and fuck if I whale watched. But just seeing the excitement in her eyes, the life in them, I couldn’t turn her down.
I felt the phone that my cousin gave me vibrate on the table. I quickly reached for it hoping he finally had some news for me.
“What?”
My cousin chuckled, “Damn, am I interrupting your night with the glorious Georgia?”
I sighed. I regretted telling Angel about Georgia the very moment her name left my lips that the other day.
“I hope you’re telling me some good news or that you got the information on that piece of shit that tried to take Georgia.”
“Well, yes, I do have some news, but I’m not sure you’ll think it’s good.”
I sat up. “You found the son of a bitch shot in the fucking head with his brains splattered all over the place?”
“Well, no. Actually I haven’t been able to find any action down there that you mentioned or the guy you described. The car was a rental and the name it was under came back with a bogus. Cabo is pretty clean, as far as crime goes. I don’t know, Cuz. Are you sure she just wasn’t fucked up? Or maybe she was taking something and didn’t want you to know about it?”
I shook my head. “No, I’m sure about that. Georgia isn’t the type. Besides, the woman can drink and hold her own. I told you the bartender that night was serving weak ass drinks, so I know for a fact she wasn’t fucked up. No, there has to be some reason why he was trying to take her.”
“Well, if there is, I haven’t found one. Why don’t you find the bartender and ask him?”
“Yeah, I’ve tried that. He hasn’t been to work since that night.”
My cousin paused a beat, and then said, “Do you have a name?”
“Manuel Agosto.”
“All right. I’ll check it out to see if I can find out something about him based on your description.”
“Yeah okay. Keep me posted then… I’ll talk to you later.”
He cleared his throat. “Uh, don’t you want to hear the news I have?”
I frowned. “I thought you already told me the news?”
“No, I said the news I have to tell you is good news, but you might not think so. That shit wasn’t it.”
“Well, stop pussying around and just tell me.”
He chuckled again before he said, “You’re clear to come home.”
“You shittin’ me?”
“Nope. The lawyers got back to me, and the Feds have nothing. They claimed they were slipped the information, but none of the evidence they gathered matched to you. Also the people that you allegedly took out, I know for a fact you didn’t. The family had no beef with them, so you are good to come back.”
I took a drag on my cigar and smiled. Finally, I get to go home and leave this… Oh shit…
“Yeah, bittersweet, isn’t it?” Angel added as if reading my thoughts.
I didn’t reply.
“Pops says he needs you home ASAP though.”
I nodded my head self-consciously. “Yeah alright. Get someone to book me a flight some time tomorrow and text me the info.”
“Will do. See you then,” I heard Angel tell me before he hung up the phone.
If my Uncle said he needed me home ASAP that only means my cousin Eddie is into some shit, and he needs me home like yesterday. I knew I was going to have to take the next thing smoking out of there if I could.
Shit… I didn’t want to leave Georgia there by herself. Even though I’d been looking out for any backlash from the other night, it didn’t mean she was safe. I didn’t like having loose ends, especially since Angel didn’t get any information on the three goons from the truck.
Georgia told me she wasn’t leaving for another two days, and I knew I
