“I don’t give a damn.” Ruxs chimed in.
“Come on man. Don’t do this. I gave ya’ll good info. It ain’t my fault you guys fucked it up.” Tommy argued.
“Oh. So now we’re the fuck-ups. I see.” Green rubbed at his neatly trimmed goatee. “Let’s go tell God how he fucked up that bust.”
Ruxs quickly undid the cuffs and grabbed Tommy around his frail forearm. The man shook his head so hard, spittle landed on each of his cheeks. “No. No. No. Fuck no. I don’t. I don’t want to talk to God.” Tommy looked like he was about to shit on himself.
“I sure as fuck, not gonna’ give him your message. You said he fucked up, so let’s go tell him.” Green said casually. This was usually their trump card. No one wanted to talk to God or Day.
Ruxs was pulling Tommy to the truck, which took no effort at all.
“I didn’t say God fucked up. You know I didn’t. Okay, okay. Stop one second Detective Ruxsberg. I g-got a little s-something to tell you. I don’t know a whole l-lot, but I know a little something about a l-little bit.” He stuttered nervously, making very little sense.
Ruxs let go of Tommy’s arm sending him falling back to the ground.
“Ouch. Damnit.” Tommy rubbed at his wrist, glaring back up at Ruxs. He folded his legs Indian-style like he was on a damn Persian rug and not some filthy concrete. “There may be a pretty big shipment coming to the house on Cleveland Ave.”
“How big?” Green asked, now slightly intrigued.
“Big, man. I don’t know. Just f-fuckin’ huge, okay. Got everyone uneasy, ya’know’”.
“When?” Ruxs asked.
“Few weeks. Gonna be some foreigners coming with it. Chainz is up to some serious shit.”
“You sure?” Green asked.
“My girl works in one of the houses Chainz keeps in the back. She heard one of his big boys talking about it. They setting stuff up for it already.”
“In that shitty neighborhood. He’s going to bring some foreign contacts and that much weight to a rundown piece of shit house on Cleveland Ave.” Green said skeptically.
Ruxs shook his head. “That makes no damn sense.”
“Exactly.” The serious look Tommy gave them, said it all. He was telling the truth.
