Chapter 541

Robbie had even borrowed five grand from Hughes for sustenance. Otherwise, he’d have trouble making ends meet.

Hughes, puffing on a cigar, said, “If you’ve got nothing else, you might as well leave. Robbie ain’t gonna be back anytime soon. Look elsewhere, will you? I’ve got a modest business to run here.”

Emma realized that it wasn’t a member of the Flanagans who had come. Then she heaved a sigh of relief. She continued her inquiry. “Apart from here, where does Robbie often hang out?”

One of the employees, mopping the floor nearby, overheard and chuckled. “Well, that’s a lengthy list. Half the joints on this street are Robbie’s regular hangouts. Lady, how much does Robbie owe your boss? You better prepare for the worst. That guy’s sly as a fox. God knows where he’s hiding now.”

Emma turned to Hughes, instinctively feeling that he might know Robbie’s whereabouts. She placed a stack of bills on the table, saying, “Thanks for the info. Consider this as my tab for a drink. I’m not here to collect a debt from Robbie. If you can get in touch with him, tell him I can help him pay off the 80 grand he owes to Blackwell.”
