“I can’t believe you actually called at a normal hour,” JJ said, smiling through the receiver.

“Ha ha,” Abby said dryly.

“Seriously. I don’t remember the last time we spoke when the sun was up.”

“Are you done?”

“I am, and I’m actually really glad you called. I’ve got some info for you.”

“And I’ve got some for you, too,” she said. “You first.”

“One of my sources dropped a dime this morning. He heard that Bryce is alive and that Rosso has got him stashed in New York living under the name Hunter Bryson. I did some digging and found one guy who appeared out of nowhere a few months after Bryce faked his death. He’s running an Italian restaurant a little more than an hour south of Buffalo named...”

“Buena Sera,” Abby said.

“Yeah. How did you know?”

“I’ve been doing some digging of my own,” Abby said coyly.

“Yeah, I saw the news this morning. It wasn’t much, but they said there were reports of a raid on Rosso’s estate. Total bloodbath was what they said. Looks like you and that old friend of yours did some serious damage. You’re lucky you didn’t get yourself killed just walking into a place like that.”

She scoffed. “I didn’t just walk in. You taught me better than that. I had a plan. And it was just me. I met up with my friend after.” She looked at Donny, whose eyes were glued to the road.

“Well, the odds are in your favor again. I’m going to head to the airport. I can catch a flight from Boston to Buffalo and be there in three or four hours.”

Abby looked at the speedometer. Donny kept his speed at a steady 65 mph. The last thing they wanted to do was get pulled over for a speeding violation with a carload of weapons and not a genuine ID between them. She did some quick math in her head. “That puts you a few hours late to the party. We’re on our way there now. Should be there within the hour.”

He sighed on the other end of the line. “I suppose I can’t talk you into waiting until I get there?”

“Not a chance. But do you have anything helpful you can give me now?”

“You got something to write with? I’ll give you the home address I dug up.”

As Abby wrote the address, she almost chuckled. “What are the chances one of your sources finally comes through with some info today?”

“You know it’s not a coincidence.”

“Of course I know that. He snatched Ava and left some breadcrumbs to lead me to him. He’s setting me up.”

“That’s why I’d like you to wait for me. Let me get out there. You’re skilled, but having an extra pair of eyes and some firepower can only help you get Ava back and keep you alive.”

“I can’t sit on my hands knowing that my little girl is with that maniac.”

“I understand. Just know he’s waiting for you. He’ll be ready.”

“That’s where you’re wrong. He can’t be ready. He thinks he knows what’s coming.
