about a video with her and Seven from years ago. Wants money or he is going to release it. I can’t have that shit happening right now. Fuck! Not ever.” He rubs his hands along his bald head before he puts a backwards baseball cap on his head. Looks like Star finally told him about it. Or he found out about it all on his own. Shit.
“He sent us a letter too. Said he had security footage of me and Seven.” Levi leaves out a small detail about that video, but I am not about to give any more details about our sex life than I need to.
“I think he is bluffing. Footage of Seven and Star would be old, really old, and he isn’t going to hold on to security footage that long. I want to call his bluff.” Chrome continues. “But, I don’t trust him. I don’t know much about this guy or what he is capable of doing.”
“I don’t either. Can’t you put some of your guys on it, Chrome?” I ask him.
“Already on it. Vegas, Judge, Cowboy and Ace have surveillance set up. We are working on GPS tracking on his cell. Looks like he isn’t in Manhattan, so now we have to figure out where he is hiding.” Chrome says.
“Who is running the club?” I ask.
“No one. It has been closed for about six months.” Star’s voice comes from the hallway as she emerges from her bedroom.
I am heartbroken that Sinners & Swingers is closed. I could have saved that club so long ago, but Vince was too proud to give me any say or control over it. Instead, he ran it into the ground. My mind churns with ideas of buying the building and starting over. I don’t want to say goodbye to that place, considering it brought me so many amazing opportunities in my life.
“I have an idea.” I am probably not thinking right and I am pretty sure I am not in my right frame of mind after everything I learned in therapy this morning, but there is a time and a place for that later: When Levi and I are alone.
“I don’t like the sound of that.” Levi says. I can tell how unpleased he is by the look on his face. If we are being honest, I haven’t had the best input on situations like this recently.
“We find Vince and make him an offer for the club. Buy the club from him for more than it is actually worth. He gets money and we walk away with the one thing I’ve wanted but could never have all these years. That club.”
Levi gives me a nasty look across the room.
“Why would you want that place?” he asks me.
“It isn’t about the sex, Levi. Get over that hangup. It’s about the one place that helped make me who I am. Without that club, we wouldn’t have each other and everything that we have today.” I start trying to explain, but before I can get too far into my thought process, Chrome interrupts me.
“It’s genius, Levi. He will think he is getting something out of it because obviously he isn’t making any money off the club. Money is his motive.”
I worry that the plan won’t be as simple as we think it would be though.
“Levi, get on the phone with your lawyer. Draft up a sales agreement and offer him $750,000 since he asked each of us for $500,000. It’s a fair offer. Club goes in Seven and Star’s names.”
Levi nods even though I can tell the idea doesn’t have him sold.
“I’m gonna keep having my guys track him. I won’t feel okay with any of this until he is found and I have eyes on him.” Chrome adds. “I have to head down to the club house, but if you guys hear anything from this guy or your lawyer, call me immediately.” Chrome heads for the door and pauses. “And Levi? Thanks man, I can always count on you.”
“Awww, the bromance!” Star laughs and I join her.
“I’d pay to see those two hook up.” I add.
“That would be hot as fuck,” Star admits.
Yeah it would be.
“I can’t deal with you two right now.” Levi walks out of the room while dialing our lawyer.
“Hey, you can’t blame us for trying!” I yell from the kitchen. “I’m so not giving up on that one.” I laugh and Star
