"You really should go on a run with me one of these mornings, mijas. Nothing's more invigorating. By the way, did you hear what happened at Leopold and Loeb? Apparently, some inmates tried to escape. And I hear the ringleader was, once again, Archie Andrews. But no worries, the guards caught them all after shooting them with rubber bullets. Of course, they'll be punished. They might add an extra year to Archie's sentence. Huh. My friend, Warden Norton runs an awfully tight ship." Daddy tells me and Veronica as we sit at the table as Veronica reads the paper and I'm scrolling through my phone, and I look up at daddy.
"And I know you're trying to set me off and it's not going to work. Me and Veronica are getting Archie out of there, one way or another. Then you'll be the one rotting away in the very prison your blood money built." I tell daddy and then me and Veronica walks away from him. *** "This speakeasy is impressive, Quinn." Elio tells me as Veronica lights some candles.
"Impeccable taste with a little elbow grease goes a long way, Elio. From what we hear, your Sweetwater Casino will soon be giving the Miragio a run for its money." I tell him.
"You know, if you added a couple slots, table games, maybe some cocktails with actual liquor you'd both have quite the little gold mine on your manicured hands." Elio tells me.
"Thanks so much for mansplaining our business to us. But it's not why I asked you here." I tell him.
"Right. You wanted to talk Leopold and Leob?" Elio asks.
"More than talk. Archie's locked away in that place and haven't heard from him in weeks. We've hit dead ends with the Innocence Project. But I've heard rumors that L&L has direct ties to the mob. Which is why I thought of you, with your connections, could help." I tell him.
"Tell you what, Quinn, I'll talk to some of my dad's friends, see what I can find out, but if I scratch your back--" Elio tells me before I cut him off.
"I'm a Lodge I know where this is going and what needs to be done. Just make it happen, and you'll be recompensed the way we seem fit." I tell him. *** "Elio, what's the word?" I ask him as I answer my phone.
"I think I can get one of you to Archie, Quinn. One of you will come as my date, but dress incognito." Elio tells me.
"I'll send Veronica, and the incognito isn't a problem. But what is she coming to your date for?" I ask him.
"It's better for her to just see it. She'll explain it to you when later." Elio tells me and then hangs up the phone. *** "Q. You should've seen it it's like some sort of underground fight club. And Archie's their champion Elio tells me that he always wins and after what I saw in there there's no doubt in my mind on why." Veronica tells me over facetime, and I sigh.
"We need to do something V." I tell her.
"And we will but first I think there's someone you should talk to." Veronica tells me and then flips the phone around and I see Archie turning to face her with an ice bucket.
