Chapter 11

I’m greeted with the word KILLER spray-painted across the window of the Cutie Pie Bakery and Cakery as soon as I arrive at the early hour of four-thirty in the morning. I was running late as it is, but seeing this hideous proclamation slows down my morale and my production.

It’s another snowy day in Honey Hollow with a cloud bank so dark sitting over our sleepy little town you’d think it was midnight in the middle of the afternoon. To make things gloomier than they need to be, the bakery is nearly empty, no thanks to the fact half the town thinks I’ve been slaughtering people for the last year and a half.

Keelie called her father, Sheriff Jack Turner, once she saw the red malfeasance on the window and he came out and declared it the work of a vandal. I could have told him that. Then Keelie called her fiancé Bear out to do something about it, and he’s been slowly washing it off with solvent ever since. And now the window has been bleeding red for the better part of an hour. It’s an unnerving sight, and one I’m glad my customers aren’t around to witness.

But that paper I found in Olivia Cartwright’s purse has been running through my mind on a loop. I ran over and showed it to Everett as soon as I saw it, and he made me promise not to act on this one alone, if at all.

Both Everett and I know from past investigations that Martinelle Finance is a seedy front for loan sharks that sits nestled in the basement of Red Satin Gentlemen’s Club. Yes, the same Red Satin where my sweet baby sister works. And the sharks in question happen to be the Canelli brothers, a lowlife organized crime family that owns and operates Red Satin and all of its questionable side hustles.

Of course, I plan on listening to Everett’s sage advice and steering clear of Red Satin and anything to do with Martinelle Finance altogether—but only because I have another plan.

But I just have to know if Olivia Cartwright hired the Canellis to put a hit out on Flip Alexander. And who better to help me with anything to do with that rag-tag street gang than my own not-so-sweet bio mama?

I found out last month that Carlotta was good friends with Connie Canelli when they were growing up. Connie is someone’s big sister in the Canelli crime family lineup.

Until a few weeks ago I didn’t even know Connie Canelli existed, but right about now I’m pretty glad she does.

Hopefully, Carlotta will be here soon and I can give her a copy I made of the dicey receipt. I wanted to send her a picture on her phone, but Carlotta said the Canellis don’t use their phones for anything that might be held against them, and neither does she by proxy. Apparently,
