EZ and Letty waited the appropriate amount of time to avoid being suspicious before departing from the clubhouse for home. They were met at the house by Angel and Coco.

"You think Emily will keep her mouth shut?" Angel asked as he accepted the beer that EZ passed him. They were all gathered together around the firepit that sat on the small patio.

"Yeah," EZ nodded. "I may have broken her heart and pissed her off, but I left her with a parting gift."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Coco asked in genuine confusion.

Letty, who was perched on EZ's knee nursing her own beer, cleared things up for her father. "With Galindo locked up, she gains control of his money and property. The feds will take a lot of it, but she still walks away a very wealthy, unattached woman."

"If she recants her story to the feds, there's a strong chance they'll go after her for perjury," EZ added. He had considered all the variables when putting his plan into motion. The release papers now hidden in the safe in the bedroom proved that he had made the right call.

"And no matter what he tells her, that bitch ain't stupid enough to believe Galindo won't kill her if he gets out," Angel said as he got to his feet. "He gets out, and she disappears like the wife of that Scientology dude within a week." He quickly finished the rest of his beer.

"Going to meet up with Adelita?" Letta guessed.

"Yep," Angel confirmed. "I'm hoping to convince her to come home with me and see a real fucking doctor."

"Good luck, dude," EZ wished sincerely.

Angel left through the side gate, which seemed to prompt Coco into wanting to leave. "I'm heading out too. I need some sleep. You two try and stay out of fucking trouble for twenty-four hours, at least."

"We'll try, pops." Letty rolled her eyes, but she still got to her feet to hug him goodbye. Then she walked him to the gate before rejoining EZ on the patio. "You want to hang out out here a while longer, or do you want to put out the fire and join me in the bedroom?" The words were said with all the innocence in the world, but her smirk was most definitely of the naughty variety.

EZ smirked right back. "Give me fifteen minutes to put out the fire and lock up the house." If anyone dared to interrupt them tonight, he would fucking them with a smile on his face.
