"But what if he…" he mumbled.
He stood up and paced for a few minutes, doing laps of the hotel room. His hands were dug in his pockets.
"Ok, so I could do that…"
Some time ago, he had asked one of his friends back in Tulsa to do something for him. It was a strange request, but his friend decided to humor him. After all, it wasn't as if he would be going out of his way to do it.
"But I can't do that because…"
And now, not more than five minutes ago, Taylor's friend had called him with news. It was news that Taylor wouldn't wish upon anyone, and yet he was glad to have gotten it. He felt a little guilty about that.
"Of course if I did that…"
But now he was faced with a decision. How to use the information. What to do about it.
"But then he might…"
And there wasn't much time.
"Ok, well, I suppose there's always the chance that…"
Finally he decided. He could only hope it was the right decision.

"Wow." Zac said. "You hear about the drug bust on the news?"
"No." Isaac replied
"It was big man. Five million bucks worth of heroin."
"Really?"
"Apparently they got some anonymous tip." Zac continued. "And now they've arrested sixteen people already."
"Good, I hope they get what they deserve." Taylor declared.
And the others agreed.
Interesting that they may never know that it was Taylor who alerted the police.
Interesting that he should use Marty's own delivery scheme against his own drug ring.
Interesting that things worked out how they did.
His friend had informed him that Marty had been in a car accident. As a result, Marty was now in the hospital in a coma.
Taylor's only worry now, was if and when Marty woke up.
