âThis is not what I want to fucking do today,â I mutter. When I woke up, I was still wrapped in the bliss and excitement of what happened last night. That never happens with one-night stands. Itâs quite out of character for me, but I want to see Sophie again. Maybe Iâll give her a call later today.
I can keep the whole Ryan Madison thing a secret for a long time. Over the course of my life, Iâve jumped from alias to alias. On the rare occasion Iâm found out, the person who made the discovery is taken care of one way or another.
Yeah, the media knows who I am. They think they know what I do, but they canât prove anything and they never will. No one believes anything the media says anymore, anyway.
Playing along with their stories only worked in my favor. It makes me damn near impossible to blackmail.
âI thought Sienna was going to handle this,â my cousin, Monty, says as we walk into a grimy alley.
âI gave her another assignment,â I say. âBesides, Sergei is a real slimeball. He wouldnât think twice about hitting her.â
âThat would be the mistake of his lifetime,â Monty laughs.
âYeah, but he wouldnât know that until after he roughs her up.â
The handle of the single unmarked door is covered in soot and other city residues. Itâs been a long time since Iâve had to make a house call like this. Iâm not pleased about it.
The door leads to a narrow, dimly lit hallway with red wallpaper and eggplant carpet. Itâs tacky and grand, just like Sergei. The hallway wraps around the perimeter of a nightclub that will open in a few hours.
Sergeiâs door is propped open. Heâs on the phone with someone but I donât give a shit. He made me come all the way down here. Iâm not waiting to talk to him.
Monty and I step into his office without warning. As soon as Sergei sees us, his eyes widen. He weighs his options, but he doesnât have any. If he tries to run, he wonât be able to get past us. If he reaches for the vintage revolver he keeps in his desk, he wonât get a chance to fire it. Monty is always armed.
I prefer not to use weapons when I go about my business. With modern medicine and forensics, weapons tell a story now. I canât be attached to that. If my father still ran things, there would be a blood trail leading right to us. As the world changes, Iâve had to make adjustments.
âIâll call you back.â Sergei slams the phone down and puts on a genteel smile. âMy boys! What brings you here?â
âYou know why Iâm here, Sergei.â I press my fingers to the bridge of my nose. âYouâve missed payments. I have a steep interest rate.â
âHow is that possible?â He pantomimes confusion while trying to put as much distance between himself and Monty as possible. âI always pay. You know this!â
âYouâre last three payments didnât go through,â I shrug.
