Commit To Violence

"I see that now."

"Mind if I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead?"

"I always wondered what the attraction was. I hope you don’t get mad behind me sayin’ this, I know she got body for days, but Rain ain’t the prettiest mutha fucka in world."

Nick laughed a little and shrugged his shoulders. "She ain’t, is she?"

"No she ain’t."

"There’s more to Rain than just her looks. I like being around her for some reason."

"Want me to tell you why?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

"I see how Rain carries it. She is all gangster; all the time."

"Damn sure is."

"That’s part of why you like being around her," Bobby said and Nick didn’t quite get it. "When I used to hang out with Cat, it wasn’t like being with Pam. Cat was funny, she talked big shit and would do wild shit just for the fun of it."

"She was everything that Pam isn’t."

"Exactly. And if you had to find a woman who was the exact opposite of Wanda, Rain is definitely the one."

"I see your point," Nick said and poured another drink.

"I wouldn’t worry too much about that shit, Nick. Shit will work itself out and Wanda will be back," Bobby said and had another drink.

"I don’t think so, Bobby."

"Why not?"

"There’s more to it than just me fuckin’ Rain."

"What else?"

"Without me knowing it, Rain has been dealin’."

"That’s not good. Mike know about that?"

"You tell me?"

"Far as I know he don’t. We been too busy with business."

"Now somebody’s been robbin’ and killin’ her dealers. So the last couple of days I been with her tryin’ to find out who it is and squash it before it goes any further. But Wanda was lookin’ for me and wanted to know where I’d been the last few days."

"Damn."

"Even if she believed I wasn’t fuckin’ her, if I told Wanda what I’ve been doin’—"

"She’d tell Mike about Rain and you don’t want that."

"Especially now that we got this arrangement with Angelo and Stark. And to make matters worse, I think she’s buyin’ from Stark."

Bobby grabbed the bottle. "I see why you’re sittin’ here gettin’ fucked up." He poured himself a drink.
