Say lethal injection/so long

Hi

A few federal agents came to a house of a certain guy who in their opinion is a drug dealer.

They ask him questions, but he pretends that he knows nothing.

One of the judges in the town was also involved in drug dealing, but he disappeared.

One of the agents says to the guy: The old judge on the run. When we find him he'll turn government witness faster than I can say lethal injection. And you can kiss your butt so long, unless you killed him too. Like you did Shirley and Bob and Willie.

Does it simply mean that he will decide to be a witness faster than the agent is able to say the words "lethal injection"? Or maybe there's some hidden meaning here?

Does "so long" in this case mean "good bye"? So when the judge will decide to be a witness this guy can kiss his butt good bye ... well, unless he killed him, so he's got nothing to worry about.

Or maybe it means "for the time being".

You don't want to say anything, but the judge will so you're useless?
