The first started with 011 84 and it soon came back to haunt me.
The second was to Tommy. It was done and I was out for good. That was
what I told him anyway.
The third was to Gloria's mother.
Maybe I should have been suspicious when I got more questions about
the logistics of Gloria’s situation from her uninterested mother
than I did from Tommy. Neurotic, anxious Tommy didn’t have two
questions about our part in the largest heroin deal in world history.
There was a time when I would have
questioned how easily fourteen billion dollars came to me and a time
when I would have questioned Tommy's motives and demeanor. I was
getting old, not in human years, but in drug dealer years. Your
lifespan is shorter when you're a drug dealer so you age faster. You
grow up fast, you get old fast, and I guess I was just getting lazy
in my old age.
