I knew what needed to be done, but I put off doing it for a week. Virgil Lucchese didn’t leave the house often, and when he did, he left the office door closed and locked, so I never had the opportunity. I began considering sitting down and reviewing his budget and overall bill with him now that I had more definitive numbers, but my mind constantly veered back to the way he’d pressed himself against me and made it clear that he’d wanted me. I didn’t want to go to him again, but if I had to go into the lion’s den to keep the Bonannos safe and informed… He wouldn’t try anything too serious, would he? Because of this job, he had clear connections to me, and if he wanted to hurt me, he wouldn’t do it during the workday. If he wanted to try something, he’d be smarter about it. At least, that’s what kept me coming back here.

But today, rather than closing and locking his office, he charged out of the house an hour ago and hasn’t returned since. The door remained slightly ajar, and the room was empty. It was my only chance. I turned to Adam, who I’d brought with me every day since the incident with Virgil. “I need to go to the bathroom before we get the counter installed,” I told him. He didn’t pay me much attention as he nodded and continued his task.

As I moved toward the stairwell and looked around suspiciously, I gnawed at my bottom lip. I expected the other shoe to drop—for someone to walk into the house and shout curses at me for working with the Bonanno brothers—but silence met my ears. Only the constant drumming of my assistant pressing the countertop in the kitchen resonated through the house. All the household employees had been given a six-month hiatus during renovations, so the house was otherwise empty. It was the only time I had to do this. I fiddled with the small, magnetized device Tommy had given me in my pocket, running my fingers over the parts that I recognized from his quick lesson. In and out. That’s all I had to do. Everything would be on the computer, and Tommy could handle it from there.

Rather than turning toward the bathroom on the second floor, I veered toward the office. Each step felt like it took an eternity to complete. I knew the danger I was in, but I ignored the swell of panic in my chest and took a deep breath as I continued forward, pushing the office door open and striding inside quickly. I didn’t know how long I had, but it would be enough. It had to be. Once I had this in place, I wouldn’t need to continue taking risks. It would no longer be important, as Tommy could draw all the information he needed.

I made my way toward the desk, eyes laser-focused on the desktop. Something on the center of the desk drew my attention, and I glanced toward it.
