Probably the same way they’d handled Louis. She couldn’t do that to Theresa. Sly could drop out of sight; there wasn’t anything—not really—holding her to Seattle. But Theresa had The Armadillo, no doubt had much of her net worth sunk into the bar. Doing the quick fade would, for Smeland, be the same as Sly leaving behind her "retirement fund." That would leave Smeland with only what she could carry, plus whatever liquid assets she had, while the business she’d built up would be gone. Great way to reward a friend for being a friend, huh?
