Of course, Prez had been listening to get as much information as possible before he walked into Meggie’s room and demanded answers.
“What did Mort do?” she asked after a moment.
“Answered your fuckin’ call, then put you on speakerphone so your fuckin’ private conversation overheard.”
“What makes you think—”
‘Cause Prez wasn’t fucking stupid.
“Take me for a lot of fuckin’ things, Megan, but I ain’t a fuckin’ dumbass,” he snapped. “The only fuckin’ way those two motherfuckers talkin’ toyouis because they heard what you said. They only reasonyourespond to them is because you talkin’ to all them at once. Motherfuckers sure not passin’ that fuckin’ phone around so they can talk to you one by one.”
“Mortician is more of a brother to you than Johnnie. Digger is Mort’s brother. And Derby is one of your closest friends,” she said quietly.
“A club rule is not fuckin’ up bitches. I fucked up several of them cuz of you. You think I’m gonna let anyfuckinthing else stand in my way? If a motherfucker, or fuckin’ bitch, fuck with you, they fuckin’ die. Case fuckin’ closed.”
“You’d go to jail. You’d do that to us?”
“Only been to jail once when Brooks fucked me over. I’ll just dissolve the motherfuckers in acid, then incinerate what’s left at the funeral home to get rid of all evidence.”
“Talk him down, Meggie,” Digger whispered, truly afraid. He’d fucked up royally. “Please.”
“Wouldn’t that be dangerous?” she asked, obviously talking to Prez since neither seemed to have heard Digger. “Mixing acid and fire?”
“You right, baby. I’ll incapacitate them, then toss them in the oven.”
Digger steepled his hands over his mouth and nose.
“You’d break Gypsy’s heart.”
“She not even with Derby right now.”
“She wants to go back to him.”
The hope in Derby’s eyes surprised Mortician. Maybe, he really did care for Gypsy.
“If you kill him, she won’t be able to do that.”
Prez cursed. “She need to make up her fuckin’ mind, Megan. All the fuck she do, goin’ back and forth, is fuck both of them up, and their kids.”
“She found out the baby isn’t his.”
“What fuckin’ baby?”
“Serina’s.”
“Who the fuck Serina?”
“Er, C-Cole’s sister.”
A moment of silence, then, “oh,thatcunt. I just added fuckin’ Dez to the list. He was in on those naked cunts with Derby.”
Dez choked.
Outlaw sounded too focused on Meggie to notice. “How the fuckyouknow who that bitch’s baby belong to?”
“I just do, Christopher. Gypsy has been so unhappy. She wants to go back, but Serina has beensomean to her. I hate that Derby cheats on her. However, I convinced her to leave because of Serina. She was awful. She told Gypsy that Derby never stopped cheating…”
“Why you didn’t tell me, so I could tell Derby?”
