Chapter Seven

Romano stood in his apartment reviewing the camcorder he had set up to record the streets below. He cursed when he saw the small black car drive by the tavern very slowly. He rewound the scene and played it once more, in slow motion. It was the car that had followed him into the mountains.

So they had found him.

Or at least tracked him here to this small town.

A need to protect Tabby and Memphis hit him hard as Romano set the camcorder down. He knew he hadn’t been spotted yet, and he was planning on keeping it that way. He needed to cut his ties with the two men before his association with them got both men killed.

But the thought of letting either of them go didn’t set well with him. Romano wanted both men with a hunger he had never felt before. Tapping the recorder with his finger, Romano walked away to take a long hot shower when he heard someone knocking on the door.

He immediately froze.

No one knew he lived here. He hadn’t told a soul. He doubted it was the men after him. What hit man knocked on the fucking door? Wait a minute, Romano had told Dino where he lived. His cousin could have asked Taz which apartment. Damn, the list of people who knew where he lived was growing. Romano was slipping. No one was supposed to know, yet too many people did already.

Romano crossed the room and looked out of the peephole, seeing a tuft of blond hair. He smiled.

Tabby.

Romano smiled as he leaned back from the door and grabbed the handle. The door swung open, and Romano immediately knew something was wrong. Tabby wasn’t smiling. His face was drawn back in agony as his hands wrung in front of him.

And that was when Romano saw the gun shoved into Tabby’s side.

“I’m so sorry, Romano,” Tabby cried out as he was pushed aside, hitting the floor of Romano’s apartment hard.

Romano growled as he grabbed Tabby and pulled him to his feet. His growl deepened, and he sent the gunman a hard glare when he saw the large bruise marring Tabby’s beautiful face. He quickly pushed Tabby behind him. He felt Tabby’s hand come to rest in the middle of his back as he faced the guy holding the gun.

“You’re a hard man to find, Tiziano.”

“If I wanted to be found, I would have given you directions.” Romano crossed his arms over his chest, trying to look as menacing as he could and create a bigger target between him and Tabby.

The dark-haired gunman chuckled. “You know why I’m here.”

“To invite me for a playdate?”

Romano took a step back, pushing Tabby behind him as the man’s features darkened. He cast a quick glance around the room, both to look for an exit and to find a weapon of some sort, neither of which came readily to mind. There was a window behind him, but he had nailed that shut to keep people out. It sucked that it was now keeping them in.
