“Mick said. “We’ll live it up.”
“I don’t want to go near that place,” Jackie said.
“Joey Zip’s not gonna bother you anymore. Nobody’s gonna bother you with me around.”

“Come on. We’ve got a thousand bucks to blow. You can hear all about guerrilla war in Belfast from Kilroy the great.”
Mick had told her they had found one ...of Zaccaro’s $1,000 bills on the beach. He had orders from Chief O’Toole to get rid of it and keep Kilroy happy in the bargain.
