Flash Flood (2011)
“He thought he’d be early but could see Roger waiting by the WWII Mauser, a memorial that took up the northeast corner of Roswell’s courthouse lawn. It was a quarter to three.
“Bingo, baby. This is going to keep yours truly in the land of mesquite and sand, but so what? I can stand a little more deprivation for a bust.”
“What are you talking about?” Dan had felt Roger’s excitement when he walked up.
“Hey, don’t be so modest. Good idea to drop the stuff off ahead of time. Gave us time to give it ...the once over. And you’re right. Crack cocaine. How much did you find?”
Dan stared at him. God damn Eric. Eric must have suspected he wouldn’t turn the crystals over to the feds. And he was right; he wouldn’t, not under the circumstances. So Eric took it upon himself to give the feds something to whet their appetite, something to stick around for. Giving leverage for Eric to pressure Billy Roland into coughing up the two million plus. Only it was looking more and more like Billy Roland had nothing to do with Eric’s drug bust or the two million.MoreLess
