Chapter Eight – Nikolai

I stared out at the building, thinking wildly that this wasn’t the way these things ever played out in the movies. We weren’t here on a dark and stormy night. No, we were here in the middle of the day, on a Sunday. As Evgeni had explained, it was one of the best times possible to catch the Spaniards flatfooted.

It also meant that it was surprising that we had so many Spaniards there to help us out. I frowned, looking around at our small group, where we were assembling in a warehouse near Audaz’s headquarters. Suddenly, I saw someone else that I wasn’t expected.

“Diego, what are you doing here?” I asked, pulling him off to the side. “After everything that you told me about yesterday, about how you wouldn’t take part in anything dangerous anymore, for Julia’s sake, I wouldn’t expect you here.”

Diego sighed. “How do you think all these men got here?” he asked, gesturing around. “I called in a few favors. But none of these guys would be here if I weren’t here. They’re loyal to me, not to you Russians.”

I frowned at him. “You think we’re going to need backup.”

“I know we’re going to need backup,” Diego said, shaking his head. “I just can’t shake the feeling that things aren’t going to go smoothly today. Audaz must be expecting us. Maybe not today, maybe we have the upper hand there. But they have to know that we’re not going to let them just get away with what they did.”

“You think there’s going to be a fight?”

“If there’s going to be a fight, I want to make sure we’re prepared,” Diego said simply. “I want you to try to make it out of there without incident, of course. But I owe Evgeni one last favor. This buys my freedom, so to speak.”

I shook my head. “I don’t like this,” I said flatly.

“I don’t either,” Diego said simply, shrugging his shoulders. “But there’s no other way, not if you want to rescue Emily.”

And that was it, what it came down to. We didn’t have the manpower to take on Audaz, no matter what sort of stunt they’d pulled. But my personal decision was coming down to, did I protect my family or did I protect Emily?

At that moment, I wasn’t so sure that I was making the right decision. Not knowing the danger that Diego was putting himself into. But then again, Diego at least knew the risks. Diego knew exactly what he was getting himself into, and he didn’t have to be here if he didn’t want to be.

Emily had had no such choice. She hadn’t known anything about this. And so I had to rescue her.

I just had to try to do it without being detected.

I nodded at Diego and then impulsively pulled him into a brotherly hug. Then, I turned, nodded my head at Aleksander, who had somehow managed to get insider information about the very layout of the Audaz headquarters building, and headed out of the warehouse, leaving the backup forces gathering there.
