Flynn and Lottie moved on after Wolfe left, and Sebastian contemplated what they were really doing at the gala as he grabbed a flute of champagne from a passing waiter. Some kind of espionage, no doubt, but what kind? He took a sip and raised his eyebrows at the quality; he didn’t know much about the Delaney Veterans Center, but evidently they were plying their donors with fantastic alcohol.

Sebastian walked the perimeters of the party, checking out the items up for auction and bidding on an autographed poster of Tom Brady that he thought Wolfe might like. The room was massive but warm with all the bodies in it, the scent of pricey perfumes and body odor mingling with shrimp puffs and some kind of foie gras that Sebastian wouldn’t touched if he were paid. He kept an eye out for Scarlett and the others, but Christopher had no doubt surrounded himself with potential supporters, which made it hard to find them.

He stopped at the bar to deposit his empty champagne flute, and froze when he heard his father’s all-too familiar voice behind him: “Sebastian? What the fuck are you doing here?”

Thinking nothing but a litany of Romanian curses, Sebastian turned around to face Anton. “Father,” he greeted, inclining his head. “You’re looking quite svelte this evening. Did you find a tailor to replace Otis?”

Anton got in his space immediately, standing close enough that their noses were only an inch apart. “Do not get smart with me, boy,” he growled, one hand coming up to fist in the lapel of Sebastian’s tuxedo jacket. “I asked you a question—and where is Constantin?”

“Not here,” Sebastian spat, and before he knew what he was doing he was batting his father’s arm away. “And get your hands off me.”

Anton’s face twisted, skin going puce. “You little—”

Sebastian never got to find out what little thing he was because before Anton could finish the thought there was a commotion near the front of the ballroom. The windows there faced Boylston, and right before their glass was dissolved by a hail of bullets, Sebastian caught a glimpse of the same black van that had terrorized Stela three nights earlier.
