The motherfucker with the Uzi strapped across his chest stared us down while we were disarmed. He wasn’t the only one going overkill on the firepower. Every suit-clad asshole guarding the joint was armed to the teeth. I could appreciate security, but Kuznetsov’s layout reeked of desperation.

That kind of firepower meant one guy who was a decent shot could guard the single building we were in front of. Instead, I counted eight suit-clad men just on the front side, let alone whoever he had guarding around the sides and back. That said two things to me. One, Kuznetsov had no faith any of his men could hit the broad side of a barn. Two, he wanted to create the appearance that he was big-time shit. More guards implied more threats. Men in high places had a lot of threats. Kuznetsov did not.

Pasha Kuznetsov, if the intel we’d gathered over the years was correct, had been a nobody, a lowly foot soldier to a big man back in Russia. Kuznetsov didn’t see himself as a little man in a big world. No, he fancied being the Pakhan, the leader of the Bratva. There was no chance of that shit back home, so he committed the cardinal sin of sneaking out of that life. He set up overseas, claiming power his old superiors would kill him in a second for stating he had right to, and set up his own, little, wanna-be Bratva outside Seattle. He had no backing, no loyalty, no ties of any kind to any other Russian mafia men in the U.S. or anywhere else. He was a little man with a big head and a small battalion. Eight guards with that kind of firepower he absolutely did not need.

We were on his turf, having ridden up for the sit-down Stone had set up. So, for the time being, we had to play by his rules. The first of those rules being delivered by his guards demanding we disarm completely before going in. Not surprising, but irritating all the same.

After pat downs and warnings I didn’t pay a lick of attention to, we were finally led inside.

Stone took the lead, as was his place as the pres. Tank was at his back, then Gauge and me at the rear. Roadrunner was not present. Fuck, the man didn’t know the meet had been set. Stone had told each of us individually so Roadrunner wouldn’t tail our asses up here. The fact was, Roadrunner was too much of a liability. The odds he’d lose it sitting across from the man who’d set having his daughter kidnapped in motion were too high.

My hands clenched into fists at the thought of Ember.

From the corner of my eye, I noticed Gauge’s head turn my way. I forced myself to release the tension in my body, relaxing my hands at my sides, but I didn’t acknowledge him. He turned his attention back in front of him, but his head shook.

He didn’t think I should be there.
