Frank took his time talking about Marty. He held her close, made circles on her arms and nuzzled her hair. She was so soft and curvy.<br/><br/>Frank explained that Pattin was in California but even from there, he could provide support. Pattin was plugged into the scene in several major U.S. cities between New Mexico (which was fast becoming Frank's favorite state in the union) and Chicago.<br/><br/>Basically, Frank commissioned Marty to arrange for safe houses for he and Lauren. And Marty would wire money when necessary. Frank was good for it.<br/><br/>"Today I expect some of the shit to hit the fan," he said as he ran a big, loving hand up and down the redhead's arm. "Today I think they're gonna find out that old Frank is gonna turn against them. Our lives are gonna change, doll. Considerably. You and me against the world."
