My sites are trained on the head of one of the Gusev brothers who stands in the front window of the bookstore across the street. I lay stretched over the gravel roof peering through the scope of my rifle watching what’s happening. I’ve given Roman his warning, though I hated doing it. But it was necessary. Still, I hope to speak with him tonight. I know his family is hunting me, though they don’t know who I am yet, but I need to get through to him. Our baby’s life depends on it.

I didn’t have to bring my rifle, either, but if I had left without it, Tony would have followed me. I told him I was hunting, and I am. I’m just not planning to kill. I can’t. Roman is the father of my child. How could I kill my child’s father? What would I tell her when she grows up? How would I raise her without his support? And what would that say about me as a person. Yes, I’m a trained killer, but I can’t fathom this. Not at all.

I watch and wait until one by one they leave. I haven’t seen the oldest, Dominic. His leadership over the family probably has him busy elsewhere, but the others were here, all three of them and Rome. They had some sort of meeting, maybe about Alexsi and his impending death, or maybe about the hunt for L’ombra. But they’re all driving away now, and I need to see him. It’s been almost a week and I can’t keep putting this conversation off. Not with the way my body is changing.

I pack up the gun and carry it down to the ground floor, stashing it near the dumpster before crossing the street. The light inside the bookstore is still on, illuminating the windows in front. I can see Rome standing in the center of the store leaning on a bookshelf. I’ve never been in the building, though I’ve lain on that rooftop a few times to spy on them. If Tony knew they were almost all in one place tonight, he’d have had me blow the entire thing up, take them all out, but I didn’t tell him I was coming. And I didn’t know they’d all be here.

The bell jingles as I open the door and walk in. The scent of musty books greets me, making my stomach churn a little. I’m dressed in leggings and a baggy sweater, not my typical show attire that Rome normally sees me in. So when he turns to look at me and seems surprised and confused, I smile and wiggle my fingers at him. Recognition dawns on him and his face relaxes as another man, larger and darker than him, rounds the corner of the shelf.

Dominic.

I swallow hard, not realizing he was even here. He has to have been in the building before the others even arrived. I watched them all come in and leave. They entered and exited alone.
