Chapter Fifteen

Caroline

Present Day

Seven hours later, I’d left Juliet with Frankie again. I’d put her to bed like everything was normal and hoped the East Coast time zone didn’t mess with her too much. Although she didn’t fight more than usual so I knew she was still exhausted from her twenty-four hours of terror.

Francesca had been happy to stay with her, but I could feel her mounting anxiety. Her uncles hadn’t summoned her to see them yet. In fact, nobody from the brotherhood had reached out to her. That would have been good news if she wasn’t the heiress to the Volkov legacy.

I suggested she go to them first, a sign of goodwill. But we didn’t know how to see them if they didn’t initiate the meeting, since Central Detention didn’t normally allow visitors. Instead, we’d left Cage with Francesca and Juliet, advising him to shoot anyone that wasn’t us on sight.

Hopefully, both Mason and Atticus showed up for a surprise visit.

Sayer had been quiet about tonight’s plans. He’d said it had something to do with our goal to overthrow the Volkov, but as far as what we were doing and where we were going, it was anyone’s guess.

I’d dressed in faux leather leggings, a scoop neck black tunic that showed off my tattoo, a sheer black cardi and my motorcycle boots. Sexy? Hell yes, but also very practical should we need to break into anywhere or rob a bank or go to a funeral on the fly.

I looked like the boho version of Cat Woman if she lost the tail and the ears.

And worked for the Russian mob.

At street level, I counted at least four surveillance cars. Two of them were clearly FBI. The other two were probably Russian? Maybe somebody else. It was impossible to tell after being out of the city for so long.

I looked up, to Sayer’s floor. Were they safe enough up there? It wasn’t exactly a secret where we were staying, so I wasn’t surprised to find that we were being watched. That didn’t make me feel less uncomfortable leaving Juliet behind.

“Just a sec,” I told Sayer and Gus. I walked across the street toward a nondescript white, windowless van. The tire covers were rusting, and the front bumper seemed to be barely hanging on.

Knocking on the back door, I suppressed a smile at the frantic movement inside the van. “I only want to talk,” I called out when nobody seemed willing to expose their presence.

Finally, the back door swung open, revealing Mason and two other agents squished together in the middle of surveillance equipment. They blinked at me.

I smiled brightly and waved. “Hi there.”

“Caro?” Mason asked with his eyebrows scrunched together over his hawkish nose.

“How many different factions are watching the apartment?”

“I, we weren’t…”

Rolling my eyes, I tossed out a gritty, “Oh, you just happened to be in the neighborhood? Spare me.”

“Seven that we’ve counted,” he admitted. “We have two vans. Local PD is here. Russians have two cars. Ukranians are here. And we think the Lambo belongs to the Cubans.
