Chapter 4

Summary
For the first time, we're given Ejido's point of view. He's driving to Fred's house and his own internal dialogue talks about how Napoleon had sent him to intimidate Fred into silence but not kill him, two suicides in three days would be suspicious even if they were to say it was from Fred being distraught over Rubio's death.

Ejido pulls into a gas station and walks inside. He buys a set of knives, a bandage, and a pen. He's given a strange look by the cashier, Ejido ignores it and buys a pack of Las Vegas Woods as wekk .Ejido then walks out of the gas station into his car, and writes something onto the piece of paper with the pen. After that, he cuts his hand open slowly and pours a small amount of blood on the paper, then bandages his hand.

After that, Ejido drives into a restaurant parking lot, then crosses the street to Fred's house. He places the piece of paper in his mailbox, then drives off.

Scott is furious with Amanda. They get in an argument about Rubio's death, as Amanda orders him not to do anything. Scott asks why, and Amanda tells him that if they do, that could mean war between Las Vegas and Sacramento. Not only does Sacramento have half the army Las Vegas has, but war means, dead civilians, and dead civilians mean she's faced as a leader. Scott tells her that she's already done that, and leaves. He yells at her that Rubio may have been a very, very large asshole, but it's blatant murder and now that Napoleon is leader of Las Vegas they should be afraid. Amanda dismisses Scott.

Scott paces around his apartment thinking of what he should do, until he gets a call by Fred who tells him about the note left by Ejido. Scott's shocked by this heavily and asks Fred if he has a weapon to defend himself. Fred responds by saying that a weapon to defend himself will do him no good if it's found in his mouth. Scott then asks Fred what they should do, Scott sighs in defeat and tells him that Amanda doesn't want to take action, both of their lives will be in danger if they take action and that in all honesty, there isn't much they can do. Fred doesn't sound happy about it, but agrees reluctantly. Scott then collapses onto his bed and covers his eyes with his hands and groans loudly.

Scott begins smoking multiple cigarettes, taking very long and hard hits from them, he smokes three of them very quickly and then begins to cough heavily and drops his cigarettes on the table. After he drops them on the table, one of the golden cigarettes that Gaten gave to Scott falls out of the box.
