THE BEER Kuro found in the back of the beverage refrigerator was Chinese and cold. Having sworn off alcohol, Trey apparently buried them behind sparkling water and sodas left over from a party thrown when he’d moved into the bungalow. Since Kuro never really considered beer could expire, he figured the Tsingtao was still good enough to drink, especially when being shared with a former Russian spy who’d apparently come in out of the cold and into a plush job with a Los Angeles mogul.

“You sure it’s a good idea to leave them alone in the house?” Sitting on the Challenger’s front fender with Boom Boom was a surreal experience, but it seemed to be the safest bet, considering he wasn’t going to actually let her into the car. He passed her over a bottle he’d just popped the cap off, tucking the metal disc into his jacket pocket, then began working on opening the other with the lever on his keychain. “The old man didn’t seem too happy. He the type to take a swing?”

“No. They have a very complicated relationship. Bishop Three is a waste of space for most of the family, but the boss says he has untapped potential. He just doesn’t know what that potential is or how to get to it.” The redhead sniffed at the bottle, wrinkling her nose, a gesture easy to see in the glow given off by the bungalow’s front porch light. “Trey has let him down more times than there are stars in the sky, but it appears as if this time, sobriety has stuck. He still hasn’t found something to do with his life, though, and the boss is getting antsy.”

“I met the first daughter. She’s… it’s hard to say because I want to call her a bitch, but there’s a lot of water under the bridge between them, and now that I’ve met the old man, I’d say she was actually just a chip off the stubborn block.” The beer was cold, and from what Kuro could tell, the years it spent in the refrigerator hadn’t affected it one bit. At another time in his life, he would have never drunk alcohol when there was a potential the night would go bad, but he lived in stranger times now. A beer seemed like a good place to start. “I haven’t met the other two.”

“Variations on the first. Scooter is a little bit more Earth Mother, but I think that just hides how much she’s like her father. All three of them are very driven, ambitious women. Not at all like their brother.” Tatiana shot him a look from under her eyelashes. “I thought you meant to use him. Looks like something different with you and him, though if you were planning on killing him, you wouldn’t tell me.”

“I wasn’t planning on killing him but eventually, probably will sleep with him. Not that that’s any of your business.” He saluted her with the beer bottle. “For right now, I’m just trying to keep him alive.
