Chapter 15

Isabella

The profound scent of flesh hits my nostrils as I wake up to my arm being shaken. Upon opening my eyes I see a curvy woman with long, auburn hair. While it’s dark in here I can make out her features. She somehow looks familiar but I can’t put my finger on it.

“Who are you?” The woman asks, narrowing her eyes on me.

“Teresa,” I respond, sticking with my cover story. For all I know this woman could be part of the Falcones. You can never be too sure these days. My training with the FBI and CIA taught me to constantly expect the unexpected.

She scoffs in front of me, “You’re one hell of a liar, whoever you are. I saw the way your eyes darted across me, debating on whether or not to be truthful. In this life everyone has a tell, yours are your eyes, in case you didn’t know.”

I’m not sure what to make of the situation. Part of me wants to believe she isn’t some sort of mole for the Falcones, planted in this room with me to hand them my deepest darkest secrets.

The woman is sitting on her ass, back against the walls with her hands zip tied together on her lap. She huffs, “If you’re not going to say shit to me, I’ll just tell you who I am. Obviously we’re both in a fucked up situation and we’ll need to help one another as much as we can. I’m Madigan Steele.”

Just like that her name rings a huge bell in my mind. A couple years ago her name was thrown around through the tabloids as the secret Steele love child. Her mother was an actress and her father was married to another when she was born. The media had an absolute frenzy with this one.

“How’d you end up in a place like this?” I ask, hoping she’ll give me more information. She could still be working for the Falcones, but I don’t know. Wait. If my memory serves me correctly, Madigan was dating Vinny before he went missing. It was right before all the information came out regarding her paternity.

Madigan sighs, allowing the room to fill with silence before she responds. “Paying for past mistakes it seems. Now it’s your turn. Care to share, Teresa?” She spits out the fake name I’m going by as my cover and I need to think fast. Being part of the Clans means I’m privy to certain information. While most people believe the Steeles to have their fortune based on smart investments in start-up companies, I know that to be a lie. The Steeles are the guys you go to when you need guns transported across North America. Hell, the Clans might’ve even used them a time or two. I’m not sure, although I’m certain we’re not enemies.

I look around the room to make sure no one could be eavesdropping. Thankfully, the only thing I see in here are pieces of meat hung from hooks in the ceiling.
