I don’t actually see Yanis until I’m outside the office, sitting on the step, waiting for Uber to come pick me up, when his Yukon turns onto the parking lot.

We only talked briefly on the phone earlier but I could tell he was in the middle of something and figured I could fill him in on the situation with Bill later.

“What are you doing out here?” he asks when he gets out of his vehicle.

“Waiting for an Ubhmph…”

He swallows the rest of my words when he pulls me to my feet and swoops down for a kiss.

“Give me a few minutes and I’ll drive ya.”

“The Uber driver’s already on his way.”

“So? Cancel your order.” He hands me his keys. “I won’t be long. I just want to check in with Lena and grab my laptop. We’ve had quite a few developments at the vineyard.”

He disappears inside. Sounds like we’ve both had informative days.

I unlock the Yukon, get in the passenger seat, and pull out my phone to cancel the ride. Then I try to figure out what to do for dinner, but before I can decide whether I want to pull something from my freezer or pick something up, Yanis gets behind the wheel.

“Wanna hit the diner? We can find a quiet booth and eat and talk at the same time,” he suggests as he starts the engine.

“Sure.”

I wouldn’t mind a baked mac and cheese with meatloaf. It’s been a while.

Fifteen minutes later, we’re in the booth closest to the kitchen, mostly because no one ever seems to want to sit in that section.

“Had a little talk with Flynn this morning,” he starts as soon as we put our order in. “Dropped Patria Holdings on him and he tried to play off like he’d never heard of it, so then I ended up calling him out about his buddy, Angelo Sarrazin. Turns out those two had a beef years ago, Joe thought it was smoothed over, but it looks like maybe our mob prince still has some hard feelings.”

The waitress shows up with our beers so he waits until she moves on to another booth before he leans over the table.

“Sarrazin is the one who introduced McNeely. Claimed one of his guys at the scrapyard had a sister in Palisade who was ill, and did Joe maybe have a job for him at the winery. Joe thought he was doing a good thing.”

“So you figure McNeely is Sarrazin’s plant? What is this, some kind of revenge thing? What was the beef?”

Yanis sits back and shakes his head.

“Won’t tell me more than it was over a woman.”

“Interesting. Looking at them, you wouldn’t guess they’d have the same taste.”

“I wouldn’t know, I’ve only ever been interested in one woman.”

He gives me a smarmy grin and a wink. He sure is in a chipper mood, although I’m not so sure that’ll last, once I tell him my news.

“Smooth, Mazur. Nice tricks you’ve got.”

I grin and shake my head.

“Glad you approve. I’m working on expanding my repertoire.
