“What did you find out?” Paul Columbus asked Andrew as he entered his office. It had been too damn long since they’d seen the news clip of the employees of the Asaka Express getting off the cargo ship in Sudan. He wanted to know where Elodie was. Now.

“It took a while, but I’ve got the name of the guy with his arm around her shoulders. Valentino Russo. He’s Italian.”

“Where is he?” Paul asked.

“I’ve got good and bad news about that,” Andrew began.

“Just spit it out,” Paul barked.

“Right. The bad news is that he’s currently at sea. He was transferred to the Asaka Freedom.”

“Fuck. How long?”

“His contract is for six months. But I’ve got their port schedule, and there’s a good chance he’ll take shore leave when they get to their next port. From what I’ve been able to find out about our guy, he considers himself a ladies’ man and has a habit of visiting bars and whorehouses when he lands.”

“I want intel,” Paul said.

“And you’ll get it.”

“You go,” Paul said. “I need you on this, Andrew. You’re the only person who knows about this bitch. If my son finds out what happened, and that I let her get away, he’ll push to take over the family—and I’m not ready for that to happen. I need her dead.”

Even Paul realized he was becoming slightly irrational, maybe even obsessed with killing Elodie Winters…but he couldn’t stop now. It was a matter of pride. It didn’t seem as if Elodie had gone to the cops yet, at least no one had confronted him about anything, but if there was a chance she could, he needed to make sure it didn’t happen.

She couldn’t win. And right now, it felt as if she was winning. She was continually a few steps ahead of him, and Paul fucking hated it.

“I need you to take care of this personally. Go get this asshole. Find out what he knows about Elodie.”

“I can do that.”

“I don’t care what it takes. Any information is better than what we have now, which is nothing. Use another identity so no one can trace you back to the family. This is all under the radar, got it?”

“I’ll take care of it. And him,” Andrew said with a hungry gleam in his eye.

Paul knew his friend was bloodthirsty and enjoyed seeing others suffer; it was what had made him such a good soldier, and now capo. He controlled his soldiers with an iron fist and no one dared cross him. He’d find this Italian Don Juan and get any information he had about Elodie Winters out of him. If the man tried to keep quiet to protect the bitch, he’d be singing like a canary when Andrew got done with him.

One of the things that Paul liked most about Andrew was that he wasn’t afraid to torture their enemies for information. It showed his loyalty to the organization. To Paul.

Paul didn’t feel bad in the least that this Russo had narrowly escaped being killed by pirates, only to die by torture at Andrew’s hands.
