I must have drifted off. When I wake up, Leo is gone and I am alone in the room, my entire body both sore and electrified. I have never come like that, never felt like that, like Leo owned me, mastered me, bent me to his will.

And I loved every second of it.

I love—

I close off that thought before it can fully form.

I stumble from the bed and turn on the light. There’s a tray of food on the chest of drawers. My locket sits atop it. He returned it to me, just as he promised.

But will he honor his promise to find my sister?

How can he when I haven’t been fully honest with him, when I haven’t revealed my aunt’s identity or all I know about her? How will he even know where to start looking?

I press the side of my fist against my forehead. There are no easy answers here.

Forcing myself to focus only on what I can control in this moment, I take a quick shower and dress in a pair of khaki cargo pants and a matching long-sleeved, mock-neck t-shirt. Then I slide my locket over my head and go to the door.

“Luca?” I call.

No one answers.

“Vito? Joe?” I wait for a minute. “Is anyone here?”

Still no answer. I knock on the door, then jiggle the handle to try and get someone’s attention.

To my shock, the door swings open.

I stand there for at least a full minute, confused. Then I step out into the hallway and look both ways. There’s no one here.

Is this a trap? A test? Like when Leo expected me to take his gun?

Instinct demands that I ask no questions and just go.

Who am I to argue with instinct?

I slink along the hallway, hugging the wall, checking the corners for cameras or any threat. At the end of the hall is a door that leads to a staircase. I go up. I can’t be certain that’s the right direction, but it makes more sense to have a windowless holding cell in a basement rather than on a higher floor.

Turns out I was right. The metal door at the top of the staircase opens to a vast, empty warehouse. At the far end is an office with a large window overlooking the space. Someone is sitting in the office, their back to me.

From where I stand, I see three marked exits. I don’t head for the one closest to me because if the person sitting in the office turns their head even a little, they’ll see me. Instead, I go low and creep across the floor toward the exit to the left of the office, the one in the window’s blind spot.

There’s a security camera in the corner, but I don’t see an LED light flashing near the lens, which suggests it might not be turned on or recording. I don’t really care if Leo watches my escape later, but I don’t want the person in the office to see me leave on the monitor.
