Ricky nodded slightly as his eyes stayed on Nathan, his face was hard to read, especially as he wore sunglasses. His eyes carefully looked at each man across from him and then stopped on the girl. He knew many battered women in his life, his sister had met an abusive boyfriend, and he had spent time volunteering in a woman’s shelter when he was in high school. He instantly could tell this girl wasn’t okay. He made a mental not to make part of the deal having some time with her, Nathan would probably think for sexual reasons, but he just wanted information.
Nathan sat in the seat next to Alma, playing a hand on her thigh as he leaned forward and looked at Ricky. “We all know why you’re here so let’s cut the Bullshit and get Straight to the point.” He said quickly. “We know the BB’s are larger and have more power behind than gang than either one of our individual ones. But if we joined forces we could force them out of business. I want to take you and your men under me.” He proposed
Ricky raised an eyebrow and laugh. “Why can’t I take you and your men under me?” He countered, lifting his sunglasses and placing them on top of his head. “Listen, I know you are a control freak.” As Nathan spoke to object, Ricky raised a hand shushing him. “Don’t deny it, I will walk out this door. I know you need my men, my product, my dealers, all of it to compete.” He paused. “But we run our gangs differently. So if this is to work, I have a few requirements.” He told Nathan, “Go on,” Nathan told him. Ricky grinned slightly. “First, my men answer to me, you can give them orders but ultimately I can over rule you, the same would go for your men and me.” He paused. “Second, profits stay in their original gang. Third. We are equals. And finally.” He paused again and smirked, winking at Alma. “I wanna spend some time with her.”
Nathan nodded as he listened to Ricky, at the last condition he raised an eyebrow. This guy had balls, he thought. Ricky glanced down at Alma and shrugged. “Ten minutes.” He countered, glaring across at Ricky. “You have a deal then.” Ricky said and stood, holding his hand out to Nathan.
