No man should ever feel bad about getting some pussy. Especially when it’s that fuckin’ good.
He was mad at himself because of why he did it. He was still mad at and hurt by Mileena and he took out all that rage on Glenda’s body. Carter laughed to himself.
And what was so wrong with that?
The problem was that he really didn’t want Glenda, she was an available vessel for his rage. All that Carter really wanted was to be back with Mileena and fucking Glenda was not the way to make that happen. He got up from his desk and went out into the pizza shop. Hassan was still there.
“You going to take care of that thing?”
“I was about to get on that now,” Hassan said.
“I’m going with you,” Carter said and started for the door. “Geno.”
“Yo!”
“You’re with me,” Carter barked and looked back at Hassan. “You coming?”
Hassan drained the beer he was drinking and put the bottle down on the table. “Coming right now, Skipper.”
While Hassan drove, Carter sat in the backseat and looked out the window. Fucking Glenda was still on his mind. Although he was mad with himself for doing it, that shit was good, and he wanted to fuck her again and he was forced to wonder if it was because he wanted to fuck her or was it all still about Mileena? The answer, of course, was that it was still all about Mileena and it angered him that she had so much power over him. He thought back to some old player logic that he had heard years ago.
The only way to get over losing pussy, is to get some new pussy. Mileena was his world. I lost a lot, so I’m gonna need a lot of new pussy.
Chapter Eighteen
As they drove to see Benny Jones, Geno’s phone began to ring. He looked at the display and didn’t recognize the number but decided to answer it anyway. Then he turned to Carter.
“It’s Jackie,” he said and handed Carter the phone.
“What’s up, Shooter,” Carter laughed.
He thought calling her the killing captain was sacrilege because that was what they used to call Howard Owens. I’ll just call you Shooter, he told her one night. Jackie completely understood and admitted to Carter that although she accepted the title because it was high praise, it made her uncomfortable at times because she had deep respect for Howard and his place in The Family.
“You into something right now?” Jackie asked.
“About to be. What’s up?”
“I got some talk for you. But handle your business and we’ll talk later.”
“Where you at?”
“I’m on my way to Jimmy’s to talk to Chet Brightman,” Jackie said.
“We’re not far from there. I’ll ride by there and we can talk.”
“Thought you were about to get into something?”
“He’ll keep. See you in a while,” Carter said and ended the call. “Head for Jimmy’s.”
“You want me to put somebody on Benny in case he moves?” Geno asked.
“Make that happen,” Carter said and went back to thinking about Mileena and how he was going to get over her.
For real this time.
Chet Brightman was a loan shark who had been with Jackie since Black let her form her own crew. Chet Bright, as they called him on the streets, was brutal when there was money, his money, involved. He was one of Jackie’s best earners but during her absence, Baby Chris kept getting reports from different people in his crew that Chet was slippin’ and had been for months.
Since the money was always right, and that’s ‘cause all Jackie care’s about is gettin’ her respect and gettin’ her money, it had gone unnoticed, Baby Chris was told. But the people closest to Chet Bright were covering the shortages before Jackie came and killed them all.
