Still standing right up to Vince, nostrils flared and all without taking even one step back, Lorenzo stared at hi Vince expected no less froue "I didn’t get it froet it froer and betrayal He’d warned Anita about Cruz and his dealing Why the hell would she get his brother involved in this shit?

"That’s bullshit! You knoouldn’t want him mixed up with this stuff Why didn’t you tell me?"

She turned to look at her bedroom door then back at him "You’re never around anymore, and I couldn’t call you because I haven’t had money to add minutes to my phone I’m sorry He made it sound like you knew and were okay with it But I was still going to run it past you the very next ti open, and Vince juainst the wall

"Who are you talking to?" her father asked

Vince’s heart had already been pounding, but now it did for an entirely different reason

"No one" He heard Anita say in an all too frightened voice

"What’s that?"

"Nothing?"

Vince heard ain "What do you ht he picked up a slight slur in the ars in here?"
