Chapter 22

“I’ll never do anything that threatens you or anyone from the group because of that.”

“You already are doing it!”

Michael paused.

“Why would you say that?”

“Because…” Jesse’s eyes were still fixed on his with that burning anger from the beginning of their conversation n. “Because he fucks Richard. He is Richard’s most valuable asset. He. Belongs. To. Him. Do you know what might happen if Richard finds out, hm?”

“I...I never thought about it.”

Michael admitted, and it was the truth.

He’d never gotten to think that far.

“We are all dead.” Jesse pointed at Michael, “Even Garrey, probably, for taking you in. Me, for not telling anyone, you for… I don’t know. Probably for existing. He’ll feed his pet dogs with our asses.”
