They take it to Steve’s office.

They take it to Steve’s office because that’s where Chon suggests they take it and he looks like he wants what he wants. He also wants Steve’s secretary to take an early day. So she takes her luscious boobs and goes.

Steve says, “Guys, maybe you don’t know what you’re messing with here.”

“You’ve been buying property for Elena Sanchez and the Baja Cartel,” Ben says. “Under shell names, DBAs, whatever.”

“Come on, guys.”

“I want a list.”

“You want a list.”

“What I just said, Steve.”

“Even if I did what you said, which I’m not saying I did,” Steve whines, “and even if I had such a list, which I’m not saying I do, you have any idea what could happen to me if I let that information out?”

Chon is no mood to argue. “You have any idea what could happen to you if you don’t?”

He grabs Steve by the throat and lifts him up with one hand.

“This is for your stepdaughter, piece of shit,” Chon says. “You give me that list or I’ll kill you right now.”

They leave with the list.
