“I asked you to run interference with McManus. A simple distraction that would keep him from knowing what we were up to. I did not ask you to shank the man,” Redding growled.
Omar raised his hands. “My mistake. Really, Burr, let me make it up to you. You got something I need. I'm sure I've got something you need.” He giggled. “McManus is already talking about giving me a second chance. I've got nine lives with that cat. That's nine chances for Omar to show how valuable he can be to you.”
“Omar can show his value by allowing me a bit of time to think about it. McManus may be an easy mark, but I am not as forgiving.”
“Sure, sure, okay, Burr. I got you.” Omar backed out of the cell. He'd have to get his fix from Poet tonight. Maybe Redding would be more amenable in a few days.
