"It was Bo," Cruz said.
"Bo," Victor said.
"Bo said that you told him that even if I didn’t have shit to do with killin’ Kenny, I was a dead man."
"Who had Kenny killed?" Black asked.
"That was Bo too."
"Why?"
"He tried to get Kenny to turn on you. Bo wanted him with us when we took on Stark. When he wouldn’t flip, Bo had to kill him," Cruz said.
"Thank you," Black said and shot Cruz twice in the head.
Victor looked back at Cruz as they walked away. By the time they got to the steps, the rats had returned to their meal. Black and Victor returned to the car and put the suitcase with the money in the truck.
Once they were in the car, Black turned to Victor. "Let me see your phone." Black dialed a number.
"Hello."
"Monika, its Black."
"What’s up?"
"Meet me at Cuisine in twenty minutes. I got some-thing I need you to take care of tonight."
"See you there," Monika said and hung up.
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
The first person Rain saw when she got to JR’s was Rose. She was the manager of the club. The police were still there and Rain didn’t want to talk to them until she got with Rose first. She grabbed Rose by the arm and practically dragged her to the office.
"What happened?" Rain asked as soon as the door was closed.
"Like I told you when I called, five masked men came through the back door with guns."
"Where was security? Who was on the door?"
"Keith was on the door like he usually is."
"And he just let five masked mutha fuckas with guns in?"
"He said when he looked at the monitor there was an employee at the door."
"Who?"
"He didn’t say. He said he buzzed them in and before he knew it, they were in and had hit him in the head with something."
"Where is he now? I wanna talk to him."
"He was bleeding pretty bad. The paramedics took him to the hospital."
"All right, I’ll deal with him later. What happened then?" Rain went to the bar and picked up a bottle.
"They fired a couple of shots and everybody got out of the way. Then two of them went for the safe in the office and the other three went straight for the gambling room."
"Where were you?"
