I felt like a train hit me the next morning, and I hadn’t done anything. Leo was already awake and typing out messages on his phone when I walked into the living area and poured some coffee.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

He looked up. “Morning.”

“Morning.” I nodded at the phone. “What’s going on?”

“I’m making some plans.”

“Does this have to do with your idea last night?”

He nodded and nudged the bag of pills with his foot. They were still on the floor next to the couch where he’d dropped them the night before. I wasn’t sure he’d slept at all or not, but at least he took a quick shower and changed into clean clothes that didn’t have blood on them.

“Running it past the group. And it seems as though I’m getting the green light.”

I perched on the arm of the couch and crossed my legs. The coffee was bitter and hot. I took a long sip.

“Why don’t you clue me in and don’t make me guess for once?”

He grinned and put the phone down. “Okay then. Let me ask you something. Who in this city would want to see the Volkov family fall?”

“Aside from you? I don’t really know.”

“Who would profit from it the most, then?”

I frowned a little. “The Leones would. But aren’t they allied?”

“They were. But things change. Don Leone died a couple years back and his son’s been running things here ever since. The old guard moved on to the new family out in Chicago, and I think that the young men in charge here might be willing to do a deal.”

“That’s a lot of assumptions. They might just kill you and help out their allies instead.”

“That’s what Enrico said.”

I grimaced. “I don’t really want to be on his side of this argument.”

“Good, but it doesn’t matter. We’re going on a little trip this morning.” He jumped up and stretched. “I’m grabbing a shower. You should get ready when I’m done.”

“Where are we going?”

“You remember that little bakery you showed me?”

I groaned. “You’re joking.”

“Turns out, Hedeon knew about that spot already, and he set up a little meeting for us.” He walked back toward the bathroom.

“Wait, what does this have to do with the pills?”

“Oh, you’ll see.” He grinned at me then stepped into the bathroom and turned on the water.

I groaned and sipped the coffee again. I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like this, but I knew that look in Leo’s eye by now.

He was excited for his little plan. So there wasn’t much I could do to convince him otherwise.

Better to let it ride.
