Alex and Kari, entering the casino, heard Oz before they saw him. Not that it was unusual. His big, booming laugh, and even bigger personality, was becoming a fixture in that big, gambling hall.
And he was in full command when they walked in. He was no longer laughing, but was holding a conversation with a couple of Miami guys who bragged that South Beach made Apple Valley look like kidâs play.
But Ozâs main focus, at that moment, was on his brother and sister-in-law. They looked determined, and all business, as usual. But at least Kari had some flare to her dress: the occasional scarf or something of that nature. But Alex? Oz wondered if his brother ever let his hair down!
He also wondered what heâd done to deserve a visit from the boss. âWhat brings you two back here?â he asked them as they arrived at his chair. He dismissed the two braggers from South Florida simply by turning his attention elsewhere. They got the drift, and left.
But Alex was smiling. âHolding court like this,â he said to his kid brother. âWho do you think you are? Reno Gabrini?â
Oz laughed. âNot yet,â he admitted. âBut if The Drakos keeps performing like itâs doing, who knows? They might be asking Reno Gabrini who does he think he is, Oz Drakos, one of these days!â
Alex and Kari both laughed at that. âThatâll be the day,â Alex said.
âSo what brings you two back here?â Oz asked again.
âYour ass, what else?â Alex said.
âAnd what, pray tell,â Oz asked, âis my ass supposed to have done this time?â
âDid you tell Jordan about your life back in Greece?â Alex asked him.
âProbably, why?â
âThe crime syndicate part of that life?â Alex asked.
âProbably, why?â
âWhy, Oz?â Kari asked. âThat wasnât something we were ready to share with Jordan.â
âWhy the hell not? He can handle it! Heâs a smart kid.â
âWith kid being the operative word,â Alex said. âHeâs still a kid.â
âWhen we were fifteen, we were practically running our own households, Alexio! What do you mean he canât handle a little truth? Because I never lie to him. I always tell him the truth.â
âBut that wasnât truth for you to tell,â Alex said. âYou should have asked Kari or me first. And in the future, thatâs exactly what youâre going to do.â
Alex always bossed Oz around. It was the very reason they had contentiousness in their relationship. âYes, sir, Boss,â Oz said dismissively.
âDonât dismiss it, Odysseus,â Alex said. âYou live your life outside of the boundaries. When it comes to our son, youâve got to stay inside those boundaries. Understand?â
Oz looked at his brother. He used to think it was all a farce. The idea that Alexio would want to be a husband and father again after such a disaster on both fronts when he tried it the first time. His wife divorced him and took up with their father. His son committed suicide. His daughter tried all kinds of evil against him, went to prison, and eventually managed to get away unscathed in Greece.
