Out in e, I put in a call to Prez

“Speak to me”

“You get a prospect on Patience yet?”

“No, did so happen?”

“No, but I’ll do it”

“What proe of heart?”

“She’s Gus’s teacher, man”

“Fuck”

“Yeah I don’t want that sick fuck anywhere near my nephew or any of them kids”

“You need anything let me know Keep close to the school today Got word his chopper was seen at the apartht”

“That’s not far from the school”

“No, it’s not” Rebel let’s out a sigh “Keep me posted” The call ends and I shove e and drive toward the low-inco lots I circle around the block twice and drive through both parking lots but there’s no sign of Choke or his chopper

Next onturns up He could have left town but it’s early and he doesn’t strikeby Patience’s house and do a sweep of the property looking for fresh tracks and hiding spots She inherited a lot of land fros he could hide in Sot plenty to pick from

I stare the two-story home It’s a lot of house for one woman and a cat

At lunch I’ll be asking her about her security Doesn’t look like she has any No cale wo out here alone, needs protection
