“What’s happened?”
“Tootsie’s been bumped. Raven’s taken over. And this dame knows a hell of a lot more than she should do.”
“Mendetta’s dead?” Carrie repeated.
“Yeah. About a couple of hours ago. They haven’t found his body yet. You’re not to know anythin’ about it.
The news mightn’t break for a couple of days.”
“What’s this about Raven?”
“He’s moved in. You’ve got a new boss now, Carrie.”
Carrie’s fist tightened on the phone. “Why the hell did you let him move in? I tell you, Grantham, that guy’s goin’ to cause a lot of trouble.”
“Never mind about him. You look after the girl.”
Grantham hung up before she could reply.
