Dad levels Raphael and me with a stern yet tired look from his seat behind his office desk. Uncle Leo stands behind him, leaning against the wall beside the bay window, nursing a coffee between big yawns.
âDo either of you want to explain why the chief of police woke me up before dawn about three dead bodies found in a burning car outside of the warehouse district?â
Dad isnât stupid. He knows we had something to do with it. Iâm just annoyed that the police spoke to him before I could. âDo you want the short or the long version?â
Dad swings his eyes to me and narrows them. âI am in no mood for your sarcasm. I want the fucking truth, Michael.â
Fair enough. âI received an email last night with an invitation to a human auction happening at midnight. The email was sent anonymously with the subject line save her.â
âA human auction?â Dad frowns, sharing a look with his brother over his shoulder. âLet me see the email.â
I pull my phone out, load the email, and hand the device over. He studies it for a long minute before handing my phone back.
âAnd I assume the girl you have resting in your penthouse is the one the email instructed you to save?â
Of course, he knows about her. I shoot my brother an annoyed look, and the bastard has the nerve to shrug. âShe is.â
âDid you buy her?â
âOf course not.â
âOf course not, he says,â Dad mocks with a scoff. âNo. Instead, you ambushed and killed a well-respected businessman and his guards.â His anger slips its leash an inch. âDo you honestly think his disappearance will go unnoticed?â
I glare at Dad, unable to believe what Iâm hearing. Is he really defending a man who bought another human being? âWell-respected? The man bought her like he was ordering something off a fucking menu. What would you have done, Dad? Just let him get away with it?â
âI wouldnât have gone to the fucking auction to begin with!â he shouts, swinging his arm out and sweeping a stack of folders off his desk. They hover before fluttering to the ground in a jumbled mess. âYou rushed into this, half-cocked and unprepared.â
Perhaps itâs sleep deprivation or the lingering memory of my argument with Rose, but his accusations cause an uncomfortable irritation to crawl under my skin, triggering a reflexive need to defend myself. âI disagree, Dad. We had to act quickly, and we thought everything through. We wore masks and took a vehicle that couldnât be traced back to us. We ambushed them under a bridge with no cameras and burned any evidence we may have left behind.â
âA dozen different things could have gone wrong,â Dad argues, sounding an awful lot like Enzo.
âBut they didnât.â
With a roar, Dad hurls his coffee cup at the wall. The porcelain shatters, filling the air with the heavy aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
âDo you feel any remorse at all, son? Do you not understand the gravity of how stupid your decision last
