Today, I will meet with Simone and pass on some information of my own. In the envelope is a note that says, ‘I’m a gambling man. So instead of a coffee shop in Sparks, you have two days to make your way to the Hargata in Atlantic City. The reservation will be under Martinez. Don’t make me come looking for you.’ If he doesn’t show, not only will I know he is guilty, but the alliance will be void because I will personally end his life. You don’t threaten what is mine and live to talk about it. I pulled up in front of Simone’s shop and breathed deeply before exiting the car. It may take a little persuasion to get Simone to agree to cooperate, but if all else fails, Nikki’s birthday is coming up, and the Blood Moon Ball is right after; I can use my black card as a means of complicity.
