Ruby and Sadie crossed their arms at almost the same time.
Then Tuck laughed bitterly.
"I'm sorry." He shook his head. "I'm sorry I made it quick. I should've tortured that bastard before putting him in the ground."
The sound of a pistol being drawn cut through the yard. King stepped forward, raised the handgun with both hands, and aimed it squarely at Tuck's chest.
I immediately stepped between them. "Tuck, what the hell are you saying?"
"A baby died!" Tuck roared as he pointed around the yard at everyone watching. "A fucking baby. An innocent baby died, and all you people care about is Murad. Tell me something. Are those two lives worth the same to you?"
Ruby's expression didn't change.
"Murad didn't kill anybody," she said. "He told us where you ran your business and where your territory ended. That was all he did."
"Then who fired the shot?" Tuck shouted back. "Who hit Jimmy's wife? She lost her baby because of that!"
Ruby folded her arms tighter.
