For days, I stayed glued to the cameras that showed my house in Mexico. I watched and listened for anything I could bring to Blackstone. I knew Frank had a few men on this in Washington, but I knew this life better than any of them, and I needed to help.

With the camera footage projected onto a massive screen, I poured myself some coffee. Abby had brought a whole pot down for me earlier along with some sweets. I snagged a sticky pastry from the plate, and as I sank my teeth into its deliciousness, I was struck by how much the people in this house cared for one another. I’d almost forgotten how much these simple acts of kindness made this place a home to all who were lucky enough to live here.

I knew Ty was back. I’d heard Moore mention he’d gone right up to see Ivy. Lucky guy. Talya’s face immediately popped up in my head, but even as I shook away the memory of her face, my subconscious defied me. I could hear the sounds she’d made in the back room of that bar as clearly as if it were in the here and now. I closed my eyes and indulged for a moment. The temptation was just too much. The scent of her brought memories of fresh laundry and a hint of sweet perfume. It made my chest ache as I thought of her long, smooth legs. I sighed deeply, then my eyes flew open as I heard Alejandro’s voice.

“Are you slipping?” The memory of Talya shattered, and I shot forward to look at the camera feed. Alejandro was in the library. “Get your shit together.” He snickered at Filippo. “They’re talking about you out there. You’re drawing attention to yourself—no, to us.”

“Shut up,” Filippo barked.

“What’s going on?” Alejandro demanded with crossed arms. Filippo rubbed his head, and I tossed my pastry on the table and moved closer to the screen.

“Castillo’s called for a party.” Filippo pulled at his hair. “Hijo de puta, I think he knows that we know.”

“Settle down! Do you think we’d be standing here if Martin Castillo knew the truth?” Alejandro stepped closer to Filippo. “Do you think this place would still be here at all if that were true? We’d be dead and this house would be burned to the ground just to make a statement to everyone he knew.” He reached back and pulled out his gun and pointed it at Filippo’s chest. “We’re in this together, mi amigo, but if you can’t handle it, then I will.”

“Fuck off.” Filippo pushed his arm away. “The fucking safety’s still on.”

I smirked as I remembered Ale’s fear of blowing off his own junk. He always kept the safety on and always forgot about it. Real hardcore Cartel member, right there.

As the evening went on, I felt my eyes grow heavy, so I lay down and watched the screen from the comfort of the couch. The sound of the sliding glass door woke me, and I jerked upright.
