Lynn sneaks into a dark room.
She turns on the light to find Drake slumped over in a chair.
His arms and legs are tied.
He looks a thousand times worse than he did in the alley.
Drake opens his eyes and tries to smile.
Drake
That’s some boss you’ve got there.
Lynn
Yeah, Jax didn’t get to his position by playing nice.
Lynn grimaces at the sight of his wounds as she moves closer.
Lynn
They’re going to kill you, you know.
Lynn
If you just tell them your gang’s rapture supplier…
Lynn
I might be able to work something out.
Drake
I think it’s a little late for that.
Lynn
Are you kidding me right now?
Lynn
You don’t have a real alliance to your gang.
Lynn
Look, if you won’t tell them, tell me.
Drake
I would if I could.
Lynn
You really don’t know, huh?
Drake
All I know is that the drug comes from someone our boss knew back in Honduras.
Lynn
Did you tell the FBI this?
Drake
Of course. They did extensive background checks on my boss.
Drake
There were no leads.
Drake
He has relatives in Honduras, but they’re all clean.
Lynn
Perhaps he has some friends—
Drake
No. He broke ties with his old crowd when he moved to L.A.
Drake
Says they were holding him back.
Drake
He has a girlfriend, though.
Drake
They call her Barbell. Apparently, she has a tongue piercing....
Lynn
When did your boss tell you he had a girlfriend?
Drake
He rarely talks about her at all.
Drake
Tries to keep her out of the messy stuff.
Drake
Their entire relationship is strange.
Drake
He doesn’t care about her.
Drake
He has several mistresses, but he still considers this woman his most prized possession.
Lynn
She must be providing him with some other type of service.
Drake
Exactly. I feel if I could just get close to her…
Drake
I can find out if she has some other role in all of this.
Lynn
You’ve never seen her?
Drake
No, like I said, my boss keeps her hidden.
Drake
Says she’s great in a turf war, however.
Drake
I think his exact words were…
Drake
‘That bitch is as shrewd as a fox.’
Lynn blinks and jerks back in surprise.
Drake
Yeah, can you believe he called his own girlfriend that?
Drake
He even bought them both fox rings.
Lynn
Did you ever see the fox rings?
Drake
Not hers, but I see his all of the time.
Drake
Gaudy thing. These thugs have no taste.
Lynn
A fox ring — like this one?
Drake
Where did you get that?
Drake
That’s gotta be it — it has the same emeralds that are in his ring.
Drake
Where did you get it?
Drake tries to reach for it, but remembers his arms are tied.
Drake
Give it to me. If they know you have it—
Lynn pulls her hand away.
Drake slumps back into the seat.
Drake
He’ll kill you, Lynn.
Drake
My boss — the man is psychotic.
Lynn
Let me worry about him.
Drake
I need to protect you.
Lynn
Stop worrying about me.
Lynn
You need to worry about yourself for a change.
Lynn
We need to get you out of here.
Drake chuckles, then closes his eyes as fresh pain washes over his features.
Drake
Some savior I turned out to be, eh?
Tears sting Lynn’s face as she unties him.
Lynn
You’re such an idiot.
Drake
What are you doing?
Lynn
Getting you the hell out of here.
Drake tries to stop Lynn from rescuing him.
Drake
Don’t be stupid. If you save me, you’ll probably expose yourself.
Lynn
No one knows I’m down here.
Lynn
I’ll make it look like you escaped on your own.
Lynn
Now shut up and hold onto me. They’ll be back any minute…
Foxy steps into the room.
Several people pour inside the small space behind Foxy.
Jax is the last person to walk in.
The heavily tattooed man stops short and frowns at the scene before him.
Jax
What the fuck is going on here?
