After Persephone and Pandora leave, the wheels begin to turn in Cassie’s mind. Not regarding what lay ahead in Paris, no, not quite yet. First she needed a story for tonight’s events, something that’d benefit her.
With a crowd of locals and patrons gathered outside the main entrance of the building, Cassie uses a side exit and takes a deep breath of the fresh morning air as she emerges in time to see the Spaghetti Town sunrise. She allows herself roughly twenty seconds to hash out the details of a plan, then, having done so, she grabs her phone and rings U. G. Lee Bastardo.
Cassie talks over her subordinate’s greeting, issuing her orders immediately. “Bastardo. I need you to get two corpses out of storage, two of Lexi’s… victims will do. Yes that means we’re not sending them to the pig farm, you idiot. Burn them to a crisp, I need them unrecognisable. And make sure the boys remove the teeth, we don’t want dental ID in the equation.”
“Yes. Good. Don’t ask questions, you bloated gobshite. Just get them in the oven, pull the teeth and leave the bodies in the club before emergency services get in. Have the boys start a scene outside to slow things down if need be, there’s a decent crowd. Get it done now.”
Cassie hangs up, then types a text message before hitting send. She then dials a number. “Lonergan. I need you to get out front of the club and mingle with the crowd. Find 3 or 4 addicts and have them give eye witness reports repeating what I just texted you in exchange for some free Rush. Got it?”
“Yes I know you can get more, but we’re making them disappear after. No loose ends. Too many and it gets suspicious, even for the clowns they call cops in this town. Plus, we’ll bolster the numbers with some staff we can trust spreading rumours in the crowd. Of course we can trust them, they know I have their family’s addresses. Now get to work. Good boy.”
Cassie puts the phone away, for now at least, and takes another deep breath. Now, she needed to face the press.
