I knew, from a young age, that Uncle Bert liked to hold a grudge. However, I had never expected this.
"You're telling me," I said, rubbing my temples, "that if I wish to receive this inheritance, his friend Fred has to die?"

I clenched my hands, feeling my anger rise in my throat. "Fucking shit. I just got out of fucking jail."

I grunted. "Fuck that. I'll do the goddamn job myself."
