“I’ll bet you didn’t do this much in the NYPD.”
“Nope,” he said.
I bit my lip at that introduction. I knew that his time in the NYPD wasn’t the smoothest of careers, but I wasn’t sure what else to open with. It wasn’t like I knew exactly what else to talk about with him.
“So, do you see anyone you want to go for?” I said.
Niner didn’t say anything for the longest time that, at first, I thought that he was ignoring me. I started to look around the room for a prospect I knew, or maybe even to start a conversation with Uncle or Biggie.
“There.”
I followed the direction that he pointed in. He pointed to a woman in a black dress, black heels, with olive-colored skin. I wasn’t focused on her looks at this point, but I could definitely say that she was objectively beautiful.
“So why don’t you go for her?”
Niner just looked at me, gave a short laugh, and turned away.
“I have my reasons,” he said.
I looked at her and looked back to him. There was clearly something that I was missing, but this also most definitely was not my fight to take on. So I patted him on the back and started to walk away.
“Oh, Fitz!”
I turned back to him, surprised to hear him shouting for me to come to him.
“Yeah?”
“Marcel,” he said. “Is he coming?”
I shook my head.
“Still recovering. Spending time with Christine. Why?”
He waved me over. He opened his phone, pulled up something, and showed it to me.
“It’s Kyle,” Niner explained as I looked at the photo with a warning to “Stop While Ahead.” “I think he’s getting tired of us being around.”
Well, we handled one would-be conqueror. What’s another?
“Then I guess Marcel’s and Biggie’s family feud ain’t over yet, huh?”
Niner just chuckled.
“It’s just getting started.”
