room.
    “As easy as that?” Cheri asked as they walked along the
corridor.
    “When it’s their asses on the line?” Reno
asked.   “Oh yeah.   Real easy.”  
    But as soon as they turned the corner, and he
saw Dirty standing by a water cooler chatting it up with some female, he
extended his arms and shrugged his shoulders.   “Where’s Tree?” he asked him in that bombastic Reno style.
    Dirty’s heart pounded when he heard Reno’s
voice.   “Get lost,” he said to the female
standing beside him, and then began walking toward Reno.
    “What you mean where is she?” he asked.   “I dropped her off at the private
entrance.   She asked me to drop her off
at the private entrance.”
    “So what’s your problem?”
    “My problem?” Dirty asked, offended by the question.   The two men, along with Lee and Cheri, were
now toe to toe.   And both men had those
strong, Jersey-bred, Italian accents.   “I
don’t have no problem.”
    “Oh, yes you do if you think for a second that
it’s okay to take my wife to that hellhole strip joint.   I specifically told you to bring her straight
home.   You have a severe problem if you
think that’s not a problem.”
    “Why are you talking to me like that,
Reno?   I called and told you what was
up.    She told me to take her there.”
    “But what did I tell you?” Reno asked.   “Not what somebody else told you, what the
fuck did I tell you?”   Cheri seemed taken
aback by Reno’s language.   “What did I
say, Dirty ?”
    Reno was in his face.   Dirty wanted to kick his ass, but knew he
couldn’t.   “You told me to bring her
straight home. I know what you told me to do.”
    “Is Boyzie’s my home? Hun,
dickhead?   What part of Boyzie’s
is my home?”
    “It was just a little side trip, Reno.   It wasn’t like I took her to another country
or something.   She wanted to say bye to
Jazz.   She didn’t stay in that place ten
minutes.”
    “And what the fuck difference does that
make?   Anything could have happened in
those ten minutes and you know it!   You
asked me to give you more responsibility---”
    “More responsibility running the company,
Reno.   But you make me a bodyguard?   What
kind of more responsibility is that?”
    “You were body-guarding my wife, you asshole!”
Reno said angrily as he pushed his finger into Dirty’s chest.    “There isn’t a more responsible job I could
have given you!”
    Reno knew he had to calm down.   Although Lee found his bombastic style
amusing, Cheri’s light blue eyes looked alarmed.   She was new to the PaLargio and if Reno
didn’t want to lose her management expertise before he even fully acquired it,
he knew he had to calm down.
    He looked back at his two managers.   “I’ll be back,” he said and then began
walking away.
    “So what you want me to do now, Ree?” Dirty asked him.  
    Reno gave his brother-in-law a look that made
Dirty throw up his hands.  
    “Just asking,” he said, as Reno kept on
walking.
    Cheri looked at Lee.   Lee smiled.   “You’ll get used to it,” he assured her.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
    CHAPTER THREE

 
    Reno stepped onto his private elevator and made
his way to the PaLargio’s penthouse apartment that he and Trina shared.   He leaned against the rail and rubbed his
sore neck.   He still had loose ends to
tie up, and would probably work late into the night again, but all he wanted to
do right now was see his wife.   The board
of directors had tried his patience one time too many with their mutinous
nonsense, forcing him to give their asses an ultimatum, and Dirty had gotten on
his last nerves on top of that.   Not
because Dirty was lying.   Reno knew Trina could be as stubborn as she
wanted to be, and there was no doubt in his mind that she made Dirty stop her
at Boyzie’s, just as Dirty said.  
    But that didn’t lessen his anger.   Tonight was their last night in Vegas before
moving to what
