Too Many Loose Ends

“I will kill you, Burns, for her.” said Slain, his hot breath right next to my ear.

She was Mandy Teller, wife of the billionaire police chief Jo Teller. She had told me she was completely unrelated to that Teller, but I figured it was a lie from the beginning.

What I didn’t know, at the time, was that she was also sleeping around with Frank Slain, Jo Teller’s right hand man.

This strip club was Frank and Jo’s favorite hangout, and, at the time, Jo Teller was enjoying a private “dance” in one of the back rooms.
My plan had been to blow up the place, with Jo inside, so Mandy and I could run off with his billions in assets, as well as his million dollar life insurance. What I hadn’t known is that she told Slain the same thing, except his job was to kill me, after my plan was in action.
