then lost his patience and judgment, wound up shooting this spanish lopez to death. what kind of investments we talking about here? ray loaned money to joe fernandez. joe about to get his ass kicked out of bossing that workingman's coalition or this spanish lopez was gonna split it up. so, ray got worried he wasn't gonna get his money back. which you come to know all about, how? ray made a score off me. he hit $18 on the brooklyn number. 'cause the sister, she don't just book policy, she's an investment adviser too. come for guidance. "who's worth credit, sister?" "what juice they gonna stand?" and you gave him joe fernandez to loan money to? no. i give him sam bluestone, which is creditworthy, steady play and pay. but sam give ray joe, which behind all that trouble joe had,

- now you on it, baby. - no. we're not so sure we're on it yet. last night, sam bluestone come to hear that spanish lopez is coming down to a none forgotten site. sam bluestone heard that bronx united was coming to a none forgotten site, - and he told this to ray harvey. - at my house. and bluestone, he heard this from joe fernandez, that bronx united was coming? i guess you'd be right. so even though their bossin' from rival coalitions, behind sam vouching for joe's credit, onliest way i'd take a stand on that. which your stand would be they are tight. so, ray is at your place when bluestone tells him that bronx united is coming on a bus and emilio lopez is the one that's in charge? ray comes up in arms, talking about, "don't pay his debt, now he gonna take jobs away too?" but w-w-wait. it's joe fernandez that owes ray money.

he gonna take him down. .38. i guess he told the truth. you see ray afterwards? he tell you what happened? no. i see sam in the hall though just now. he took me aside, said ray did what he said. sam bluestone says that ray killed emilio lopez? said he saw him do it. this beef my grandnephew put me in, who's gonna make that go away? you stood a policy collar before, haven't you, sister? i did when i had to. 'cause giving up ray harvey, that's a lot of cooperation to beat a misdemeanor.
