Dante

I spent two nights in the city reassuring my people that things would be fine and getting business done. But two nights away from Aida was too long, and I was itching to see her by the end of the third afternoon. I made Steven take me on a little side trip to center city’s shops before we drove back to Mt. Airy.

He didn’t comment on the big box I’d put in the back seat. Knew better than to push me on that, not with the mood I was in.

“Any word from the Don?” I asked him. “Or any of his soldiers?”

“Nothing,” Steven said. “Far as I can tell, everything’s still on.”

“Good.” I leaned my head back on the seat. “Things look solid around here. I think it’s time we took it to Vlas again.”

“Already?” Steven frowned.

“Can’t let that fucker get himself settled. He thinks he got one over on me.”

“Dante, you broke into his club, knocked his people around, and terrorized his girls.”

“But he wasn’t there,” I growled. “And he left that fucking picture. He thinks he got one on me, and it’s time to let him know why he’s been afraid of me since we were kids.”

Steven sighed, but didn’t argue, and I stared out the window as we weaved through the streets and out to the suburbs again. He dropped me off out in front of my house, I grabbed the box from the back seat, and lingered by the curb. “Send one of the guys with a car,” I said. “And have him drop it off. I’ve got shit to do tonight.”

Steven stared at me. “Shit to do? Like what?”

“Taking Aida out.”

“That’s a dumb fucking idea.” He sighed and rubbed his temples.

“It’s fine. I’m going to Fifty Stories. Our club, right in our territory. It’ll be safe.”

“Doesn’t matter if you’re going to the Don’s fucking living room. Vlas can send guys anywhere, even if it’s in our territory.”

“I’m going,” I growled. “Not letting this shit hold me back.”

“Fine. Do what you got to do. But I’ll bring some boys and hang around.”

“I don’t need guards.”

“You do, Dante.” Steven gave me a look. “You’re tough. But you’re not invincible.”

I stood on the sidewalk with the long fancy red box under my arm. I clenched my jaw, but finally nodded. “Fine. But be discreet. She doesn’t need to know.”

“All right.” Steven hesitated and probably wanted to tell me that Aida was a distraction I couldn’t afford, so I turned and didn’t give him the chance. I headed up the steps and in through the front door. I heard Steven pull away as I shut the door behind me.

I lingered for a moment in the entry hall, looking down toward the living room and the kitchen. I heard footsteps and Gino appeared in front of me, a frown on his face, his hand on a gun tucked into his waistband. He relaxed a fraction of an inch.

“Boss,” he said.

“Go home,” I grunted. “You’re done for the night.”

Gino hesitated before nodding.
