Chapter 4: The Parole Officer
Five days after Richie had been released; Richie and Virgil arrived at Richie's warehouse in the Atlantic Quays. Virgil waited outside while Richie quickly ran inside. Two years ago, after he had robbed the Triad's drug deal, and sold it all. Richie stored some of his money in the warehouse and put the rest of it in overseas accounts in Italy. Richie moved a file cabinet out of the way and opened the safe that was revealed. He pulled out a few stacks of hundreds and stuffed them into a black duffle bag. Once he finished, he zipped up the bag and closed the safe. He pushed the file cabinet back over the safe and left the warehouse. Outside he tossed the duffle bag in the trunk.
"Ready to go?" Virgil asked.
"Yeah, take me to my parole officer's office." Richie ordered.
Virgil and Richie climbed inside the mafia sentinel they had arrived in.
"What time are we picking up Little Tony?" Virgil asked.
"After we get done with the meeting with my parole officer, then we're going to Patrizio's Bistro to meet up with my nephew." Richie replied.
"Alright." Virgil responded.
They parked the car in front of an office building and went inside. Richie's parole officer Corbin Marlowe was waiting in his office. Richie sauntered inside, along with Virgil.
"You got the money?" Corbin asked.
"Yeah, Virgil, give it to him." Richie ordered.
Virgil reached inside his leather jacket and withdrew a white envelope filled with hundreds. Next he laid the envelope on the desk.
"I'm going to trust you enough to believe it's all in there." Corbin said.
"Would I try to screw you out of some cash? You're the only thing keeps me out of prison. Anyways, don't forget I'll be out of town for a while in a few weeks and I need you to cover for me." Richie responded.
"Alright well get going I don't want too many people to seeing us have this meeting." Corbin replied.
Richie left quickly with Virgil and they got back into their mafia sentinel.
"Alright, time to get Little Tony now?" Virgil asked.
"Yeah, let's hurry I got a busy day."
