Even if Nico had been skimping on his police bribes, I was sure I hadn't. The allocation toward them was enough that they should know better than to mess with either of us.
The annoying part was that we had been in the general hospital for the city, which just so happened to be in Gotti's territory.
The man himself had called, saying he wanted to speak to us, and not only was he missing, but his replacements had tried to kill us, with a backup plan of getting us publicly arrested.
It was maddening to sit in the car and be pushed around like a criminal after being read my rights.
I was placed in an almost completely dark room, which I presumed was meant to break me, and simply left there.
My purse and phone had been taken, and of course my gun. I didn't have a wristwatch on me and had no idea how to tell the time, but I was sure it had been a couple of hours before they returned with a cup of water, which I refused to touch.
