you playing, Lundergrund?”
“No game. Now step aside so these men can do their work.”
Leo stepped back inside and handed Jamie the document. As the firemen cleared the building, she scanned the paper. “This is Lundergrund’s doing!” she hissed.
“I know. Just keep your cool.”
“Keep my cool! I’m going to have close until the report is complete. Friday and Saturday are my two busiest days!”
As the last of the customers filed out and the firemen began their inspection, Lundergrund sauntered up. “I want to talk to your supervisor!” Jamie demanded.
Lundergrund smiled and pulled a card from her back pocket and wrote a number on the back. “Here you go. Of course, he won’t be in the office until in the morning, but feel free to call and leave a message. I’m sure he will be very concerned about what you have to say.”
“Why are you doing this?” Leo demanded.
“What? The fire inspection? I just reported to the Vallecito fire chief that he should be concerned about code violations. With all the damage done to the place lately, there could be some shoddy repairs. I could be mistaken, but I thought I smelled smoke when I was here last. He thought it better to check it out. Just to be safe.”
Jamie could feel her skin burn as she poured herself a double of Southern Comfort, tossing it down to try to dampen her impotent rage. “Someday Lundergrund, you’ll get yours.”
“Yeah. We’ve had this discussion before. As I recall I offered you your chance, but that luscious brother of yours stepped in. It’s too bad too. I was looking forward to soothing him after I kicked his sister’s ass.”
Leo grabbed Lundergrund by the arm and hustled her across the bar and away from Jamie. “Oooh, I like take charge men,” she purred as he spun her around to face him.
“What the fuck are you doing, Lundergrund?”
“Nothing. Just watching out for public safety.”
“Bullshit! Jamie has nothing to do with what you want!”
“Leo,” Lundergrund purred again as she stepped in close. “It doesn’t have to be this way between us. We could work together to solve our problems. Just the two of us. I could take down Lima 6 and the cartel, and you could build another club to play cops and robbers. I would go away and everybody wins.”
“You can just go fuck yourself!”
“I would much rather do that with you. Haven’t you ever wondered what it would be like? You and me getting all sweaty? Trust me, I can make you forget all about little Miss Barkeep over there.”
“I’m not going to shove my dick someplace I won’t even poke a stick.”

Jamie had been watching as Leo and Lundergrund talked intensely but quietly, then Lundergrund went stiff and stepped back. “I’m going to break you, Graves! I’m going to take down your precious Lima 6 and you with it!” she snarled loud enough for her to hear.
“Give it your best shot, you skanky bitch!” Leo sneered back.
For a moment, Jamie thought Lundergrund was going to slap him, but she backed off another step and smiled. “Have it your way, Leo. I’ve tried to work with you, but you just don’t seem to get it. I guess you are not a bright as I thought.”
“Smart enough to not get into bed with you.” Leo turned on his toe and strode purposely to Jamie before pulling her to him and kissing her lustily. After he broke the kiss, Jamie turned her head so she could see Lundergrund as Leo held her, and with elaborate slowness, gave her the middle finger as she smiled.
CHAPTER SIX
Jamie was sitting at her kitchen table wondering if slitting her wrists or blowing her brains out with her pistol would hurt more. It has been four days since Lundergrund pulled her little stunt with the fire inspection. While having Leo all to herself at night is nice, and he had performed admirably keeping her from being bored in the evenings, sitting around
