VINCENT

We stop at her hotel. I get off the bike first to lift her off, taking an extra few moments to hold her before setting her down. Staring into her eyes, I want to kiss the hell out of her. But the look I see in return is still tinged with some anxiety. I swallow, knowing the key to Eve is still patience.

She saunters away without a backward glance and I’m left staring mutely at her perfect ass. She enters the hotel lobby and my phone rings again. I check the caller ID. It’s Tom again.

“Yo.”

“Vincent. How many fucking times do I have to call you? Look man,” he sighs. “Things are getting hot here, and you’re not answering your goddamn phone.”

“I’ve told you too many goddamn times. I’m not part of that shit anymore.”

“It’s your father. He’s getting angrier. Darker. Doing shit you wouldn’t imagine. And he’s still fuming over your leaving—”

“Look, I’ve got some work to do. I’ll talk to you—”

“Don’t you fuckin’ hang up the phone!” he barks. “Your father is a dangerous man, or have you forgotten? I can feel bad shit coming your way. You know I’ve got a sense for these things. He blames you, Vincent.”

“Me? What the fuck did I do? I’m not the one who aligned with lunatics. I’m not the one who got into business with untrustworthy men.”

“You left—that’s what you did. And I can feel it in my bones. He’s comin’ for you.”

“No,” I growl back. “I’m all the way out here. I’ve got Slade by my side nearly every damn moment. When the Mile opens, money will pour in and he’ll calm down.”

“Open up your eyes, brother.” I can hear the stress in his voice over the line. “Because you aren’t in the fold, you don’t know the shit that’s heating up. You’ve gotta trust me on this,” he says desperately. “Your father has changed. You said it in lockup, but I didn’t really see it until now. He’s got a serious screw loose."

“I know who my father is. But I can’t care anymore. I just can’t.”

“And Eve? You still tryin’ to get her back?”

“Yup.” My voice leaves no room for negotiation.

“All right, man. What can I say?” he says dejectedly. “Just do me a favor and watch yourself. Don’t let your guard down.”

I hang up and head directly back to the Mile. There’s a large art installation coming tomorrow and I want to make sure the space is ready.
