Chapter 66

• Russo continues what he was saying and I Iisten carefully, it seemed he was talking about the drug business. I realize to my frustration that he was using coded words to talk about the operation they were going to undergo this night. They still didn’t think I was worthy enough to be a part of them. Their talk of “moving product” and “handling merchandise” only piqued my curiosity further.
• “How do you manage the drug business without the police intervening?” I couldn’t stop myself from asking brazenly.
• Russo’s eyes glinted with amusement, he was obviously amused at my boldness. “We have people in all the right places, Emily. Certain officials look the other way…for a price.”
