Jay would be protected almost instantly, but those people could not offer that protection to Jay, because THEY are the very people who are intimidating him.ġ2m05s - Josh says: “He was frightened out of his mind… and not of the police… like… they were the secondary fear” Jay was more afraid of the killer than he was of the police, Jay may have believed they had more reach than the police. From personal experience, the idea is that if you are intimidating one of our long-term affiliates, no matter how weak you think they are, then you are disrespecting our ability to protect our affiliates. Even for a “low level” dealer like Jay, there is “insurance”. If anything, Jay should be seeking protection from his supply team. With organised crime, there are still rules. Could he reasonably assume that of Adnan? Who just about saved up to buy a phone nearly 2 months prior? It’s more likely someone in a gang can simply get one of their little boy recruits to keep an eye on Jay.ġ2m00s - Jay called Josh at home, and asked him to be at the store, because he didn’t want to be alone there It seems Jay believes that whoever is intimidating him would recognise the relevance of including an innocent person into the situation. Jay believes “watchers” have reported him being arrested and an intimidation plan is already being executed, THAT SAME NIGHT. Further implying a heavily resourced person / group of people (something Adnan is not). This indicates that Jay believed that this person would have kept a tab on Jay’s movements. He must have some necessitated assumptions about whoever he believes is intimidating him in order for him to react the way he did. Jay spots a suspicious looking van in the car park and calls Josh to come and keep him company at work.ġ1m55s - Josh said this event took place on the night Jay was first picked up by the police, Feb 27th leading onto morning of the 28th. Jay is at work, doing the night shift and Josh is at home.
