Chapter 20

“Who is Irwin?” Brody asked, then muttered, “I wish Mike could hear us. This three-way conversation is annoying.”

Sage chuckled as he repeated Brody’s words.

“It is,” Mike agreed. “Irwin’s a drug dealer who has managed to beat the rap twice, then did a short spell in jail the third time. I know what your next question will be. Why were he and Newton together at the club the first time Jon was there with Newton? Right now, obviously, I don’t have an answer. Maybe they were friends, maybe business partners. Was Irwin there alone, Jon?”

“No. There was another man with him that he introduced as…Damn, I don’t remember his name. They acted like they were a couple. When Grant asked me out, he said he was going to the club with some friends and he hoped that was okay with me.”
