Blame it on the shame Part 2

Chapter 38 (Ricardo)

"What the fuck do you mean you want a meeting with DeLuca?" I corner Tyrone in the locker room. "What for? What's going on?"

He tries to push past me but I push him right back. "Whatever you need just tell me and I'll take care of it."

He sits down on the bench and sighs. For a moment, I think he's finally going to tell me what's got him so on edge...until he says, "I need a meeting with him, Ricardo. It's important."

I open my mouth to press him again but he stands up and says, "And if you don't get me a meeting with DeLuca and only DeLuca...I'm not showing up to my fight tomorrow night."

With that, he grabs his towel and storms out.

I hit the locker beside me and curse. We both know if he doesn't show up to fight then he will definitely get a meeting with DeLuca...one that will end with a crowbar being smashed against his skull.

With a stomach full of lead, and no fucking options left, I pull out my phone.
