Note: I do not own 'The Black Donnellys'. I do own Teegan. I take liberties throughout the story.
Someone was banging on the door and since I was expecting Tommy and Kevin, I unlocked the door. Instead of my brothers, I found Detective Stein and another guy there. I invited them in. Detective Stein introduced his partner.
"Teegan, have you seen Tommy?"
"Boy, he's sure popular today. No, I haven't seen him. It's like I'm his answering machine. 'Leave your message at the beep. Beep!'"
"We stopped by the hospital and talked to Mrs. Donnelly already. She said Kevin was coming here to meet Tommy."
"What's going on?" I asked, then offering them a soda, which they declined.
"On his way to rehab, Jimmy got jumped. He was beaten but not severely. Needs a few stitches and some Band-Aids but he'll be OK."
"Who jumped him?"
"Another inmate."
"What was he?"
"Pardon me?" Detective Stein asked.
"Irish, Russian, Italian? His ethnicity."
"Italian, I think."
"Brazen son of a bitch," I muttered. "Thank you, Detective, for coming by. I'll look forward to seeing you here once we've reopened. I'll tell Tommy and Kevin about Jimmy."
Detective Stein and his partner left. I paced behind the counter, trying to calm down. First, this Nicky Cottero had a hand in Sean's beating and now Jimmy's.
I grabbed the phone and called someone long distance.
"Hey, it's Teegan. I need a favor."
