Easy job, right?

Get the money

Deliver to Mr. L.

Loan shark

Luck never heard of Mr. L.

Probably why he tried to hold out

Degenerate Gambler.

The crap people think they can get away with

Things went sideways fast.

Copped an attitude

Wife starts screaming, the mouth on her.

We dated for a while, Gina and me, back in the day

You know her?

Junior Prom, Homecoming 1995

How'd she end up with Lucky?

Said if she couldn't marry a dentist, a doctor she wanted a made guy

Luck ain't made.

Yeah he broke the news on their wedding night

Poor thing.

Would have called the cops but she's afraid, ya know

Lucky sent her upstairs.

Half the guys I collect from are PD

Judges too.

***

Rough stuff starts

Gun equipped with silencer.

Lucky ain't lucky no more

Speeding down Route 22.

Slow down, stay cool

You should start dating Gina again.

Right, I just made her a widow

She don't know that, she was upstairs.

Your crazy

Nice Jersey girl, good family, right?

Upstanding citizens

You should do it, your almost, like what, 43?

Okay, I'll wait until after the funeral

Hey pull over, "let's go into Wolf's get some ham and eggs."

Get our stories straight
