Chapter Six

“I wish you had been there, G. He twisted La Roche up expertly. One minute the guy thinks we’re not worth his time, and then the next he’s signing up believing he has us coming and going.”

“Think it will get back to Kieran?”

Gianna and I sat on a bench in Mercy Park, munching on stolen ice cream cones. She stole them, not me. Distracted the couple that snatched our parking spot, grabbed the cones from their hands, and took off running. My side still hurt from laughing so hard.

Yes, we’ve evolved from petty crime. Didn’t make it less fun.

“It will when we get that vase, and La Roche drops the Kings.”

“Why the vase and not the tiara? I’d look good in a tiara,” she mused.

“You would,” I agreed. “But I don’t get to pick. Cash, Sinjin, and the guys have been holed up in Cash’s office planning the heist for the last four days. It’s not that they don’t let me in, but I go in there and it’s all Barron safes, exit and entry points, and combinations. My extensive education did not include safecracking. Daddy’s method would’ve been to hold a gun to the guy’s head until he opened the damn thing.”

“Not an option?”

The park was paradise that morning. Sunlight filtered through the trees, dotting us with sunbeams. Owners chased their dogs across the grass. Children shrieked on the playground nearby. Gardenias and lilacs sprouted in the flower garden at our backs. They spread a sweet scent that tricked you into believing a cloudless sky, perfumed air, and ice cream cones with your best friend were the makings of a perfect day.

“No,” I replied. “Sebastian Vega’s daughter is twelve years old. If Dad’s home, she’ll be home, and we can’t count on a well-timed sleepover. We’re not trying to traumatize the girl. Or Vega for that matter. I actually feel bad for him. La Roche destroyed his marriage, and it looks like Mom hasn’t been around since. Snaking a few antiques from La Roche’s grasp was the most harmless retribution.”

“Need me on standby?” she asked.

“Can’t hurt.”

“Look.” Gianna handed me her phone. “Pics of the apartments I’m looking at. These are close to the hotel and you.”

“Is Raul moving with you?”

She flashed me a knowing look. “He is my boyfriend.”

“Yeah, but how much do we like him?”

She laughed. “Both our feelings combined? Doesn’t look good for him. Just me? He’s wicked good in bed. Plus, he’s super sweet when no one’s looking.”

“That a yes?”

Gianna swatted me, nearly knocking my cone. We spent the rest of the time poring over apartment photos, and planning the décor. She offered to do my room up in blues and silvers for when the Merchants discovered my plans for citywide domination and kicked me out. That earned her the swat.

“Hey.” She held up her watch. “Almost nine. Get going.”

“Right.”

I picked up the backpack at my feet.

The morning was perfect. Pups zipped past me as I crossed the lawn. Mothers pushed their strollers at my
