"Aye," he sighs. "So do I. —Can y’do me a favour and not tell Lu I stayed over, by the way? S’only gon’ make things worse."

cassidymartel

"Sure," she nods. "Dunno when I'd see her anyway."

“Few days, I guess. Ah, don’t worry— I ain’t gon’ stay here for that long. I’ll be gone in a couple hours, find somewhere else.”

cassidymartel

"Alright. It's just my brother's comin' up later so--" She pauses. "I... hope you get things sorted."

"Aye, well, it happened. S’all that matters, really. —Ah, thanks for lettin’ me stay on y’couch."

cassidymartel

"Don't mention it," she says, shaking her head. "Uh... do you know... how long--?"

"I’m sorry."

“Don’t be. Y’didn’t force me.”

cassidymartel

"I also didn't say no."

“So, are ya totally sure y’ain’t gon’ be happy with just me? ‘Cause I know you’ve still got Murphy and she is damn good at her job. And Hads. He knows everythin’ Lu did, maybe more at this point—”

"It's not up to me, Lonnie," she reminds him. "I'm just the messenger-- the third messenger."

“Don’t need ya t’tell me that, Cass,” he says with a shake of the head. He’s quiet for a few moments longer, at which point he sighs, rubs his eyes and then straightens up properly. "C’mon. I need a drinkin’ buddy right now. Least y’can do, I reckon."

cassidymartel

She nods again before gesturing the bartender over and ordering herself a drink. She's not really in much of a position to do otherwise. And, honestly, she could use a drink.

“You can collectively go fuck yourselves, Cassidy,” is all he has to say in response to that. "If it weren’t for me and Lu, Wyrick wouldn’t even have half the pull it does today. And what the fuck do we get for that? Fuckin’— fuckin’ death threats, murdered family members, bein’ scared for our God-fuckin’-damn lives all the fuckin’ time! Go— go fuck yourself. Yeah. Go tell that t’Oliver. Tell him— tell him anybody that comes for us is gonna fuckin’ get a bullet right ‘tween the fuckin’ eyes courtesy ‘a Wyrick’s best fuckin’ man.”

Cassidy offers a small nod, honestly unaware of how she's supposed to respond. She'd done what she'd been sent to and he'd reacted in exactly the way she'd expected him to. She hadn't planned any further ahead than that.

She'll report back later, inform those she needs to of the response she was given (paraphrased, most definitely), and she'll hope for the best. Lonnie's taught her a lot and Lucy seems like a smart woman -- she'd only met her a handful of times -- she doesn't want to see them dead, their children orphaned.

"Alright," she says. "Just... be careful."

"We have kids, Cass," he sighs, bringing a hand up to rub his face. He doesn’t say anything for a few moments, simply leaning against the bar with his face in his hand. Jesus. There really is no getting away, is there? "What ‘bout jus’ me?"

cassidymartel

She shakes her head. "That was what I was told to tell you. Both of you or they make a move. You wanna contact somebody yourself and work something out, I say do it. I don't know how lenient people are gonna be but it's worth a shot. I'm on your side here, okay? It's not fair to ask you to come back now you have a family but you were the best we had and we need you."

“Doesn’t matter,” he huffs. "Forget it. Why y’here? My ol’ buddies wanna finish off the Galligan line?"

cassidymartel

"No," she says, giving a shake of the head. "The opposite, actually. We want you back, Lonnie. You and your wife. Powers-that-be have said this is your last warning before they start sending not-so-friendly faces. I'd think about it."
