Chapter 18 Summary: “James”

Content Warning: This section of the guide discusses consensual sexual violence and asphyxiation.

James runs through what he knows about Peter. Peter Michaels used to go by the name of Pan and grew up as a poor drug dealer in South Florida. Peter then purchased a failing airline some years ago. The business is now a success, and Peter is known for making his enemies disappear.

James heads to a local business to confront the owner, George, for failing to pay his protection dues. George claims to have paid the dues to a woman some days prior, and James must threaten him for money and information. James runs into Wendy and Angie on his way out, and Wendy kisses him. The two make plans for a date the next day, and James tells the women to use his name around town to get things for free.
