Lollipop said he had him. That was less than twelve hours ago; yet, he wasn’t there.
    The Vet had been in the murder, extortion, and kidnapping business for twenty years. Prior to working with Randy, he ran with Willie. That was, until Willie saw fit to fuck his wife when he got out of prison, which resulted in one of The Vet’s children being fathered by him. The Vet, standing six foot three if he stood up straight, normally hunched. And instead of using the powerful voice he owned, he spoke in low, heavy whispers. But it didn’t make him less deadly.
    Lollipop was an albino who refused to let his hair stay its natural color, dirty brown. Instead he dyed it jet-black, and it always drew extra stares from passersby. He had a thing for young girls, and back in the day it was rumored that he’d give candy for sex to any cute face with pigtails. Sex. If they denied him, he took it and claimed it was consensual later. The girls always called it rape. The Vet told him on several occasions that if he ever got proof, he would put him out of his misery. For free. Besides, The Vet had three daughters, including the one Willie fathered, and he couldn’t imagine a pervert like Lollipop violating them.
    Lollipop had another flaw some might consider more disgusting: he lied constantly.
    “Where is Audio Baker?” Randy asked in a stern voice. He threw the blunt out on the ground and stepped on it. “I was told he would be delivered to me today.”
    “I wasn’t there, man,” The Vet told him. “Remember you had me make sure the product we had left was delivered to the new stash house?” He paused. “If I was in charge of the kid, you’d be eating dinner over his body now.”
    Randy focused back on Lollipop. “I’m waiting.”
    “He went over a steep ditch and died.”
    Both Randy’s and The Vet’s jaws dropped. “Fuck you mean he went off of a ditch and died?” Randy was in a rage.
    “I was following him down the highway. He was with some bitch, and the next thing I know, a car clipped them from behind and kept driving.”
    “You’re saying they were involved in a hit-and-run?”
    “Yes. And it was real icy outside. The next thing I know, the car started swerving and they went off of the side of the road.” He spoke with his hands. “The highway was dark as hell, so at first I didn’t know what happened. One minute I saw headlights and the next minute I didn’t. It went down just like that.”
    Randy rubbed his throbbing temples. “Why in the fuck would you tell me you had him if you didn’t? We put in calls asking for paper, and we don’t even have the kid. How the fuck that make me look?”
    “I know, boss. But when I told you I had him, I meant in my sights,” Lollipop said.
    The Vet shook his head because he was disgusted by him.
    “The good thing is,” Lollipop continued, “we don’t have Audio, but the Bakers don’t know that.”
    Randy was beyond irritated but realized he had a good point. “If they went off of the road, how do you know that they died?”
    “I . . . looked,” he stuttered.
    Silence.
    “Are you positive?” Randy asked him. “Are you saying you investigated his death personally? And that you got the fuck out of the car and checked?”
    The Vet bit his tongue and remained in silence. If Randy asked his opinion, he would’ve told him that he believed Lollipop was a yellow-faced liar.
    “On everything I love, that nigga is dead, Randy. You can rest good with that. At the end of the day, five of us know they went over the cliff, and two of us are dead. Even if he was alive for a minute, which he wasn’t, you would not be able to survive in these temperatures. It’s freezing.”
    Randy knew something was off, but he also knew half of his story must’ve been true. He had people on guard around Platinum Lofts, and they all said the same thing: Audio Baker had not returned home. So, for now, he would lead Slade and them to believe that he still had Audio in his possession,
