Antonio

Later that afternoon, I pulled up to Ryde after hanging with my family for a little while longer and taking them to get ice cream. We ended up watching movies and playing board games until the younger ones fell asleep. I walked into Ryde, and everything looked the same since I was last there.

“Boss! Welcome home!” Arlo, the bartender, shouted. He wiped the top of the counter down and slid a bottle of whiskey toward me.

“Is Carlo here already?” I waved the bottle away and let him pour the shot himself.

“Yeah, he’s been here for about 20 minutes,” Arlo said.

I stood up, gulped the shot down, pulled out $50. I left it on the counter and headed to my office.

“Antonio!” April screamed and ran toward me.

I hadn’t seen her in years, not since Ryde opened. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here with some friends, and I heard you got out. So, I wanted to surprise you,” April mentioned.

I removed her hands from my chest and moved around her to leave.

“Where are you going?” April asked.

“April, I haven’t seen you in almost 10 years.”

“So, we can make up for lost time,” April teased, biting her bottom lip.

“I doubt my wife would be okay with me catching up on old times with you.”

April twisted a strand of her blonde hair between her fingers and blew me a kiss.

I ignored her flirtations and walked to the office. I opened the door, and Carlo was sitting behind my desk.

“You look like shit,” Carlo taunted, reached a hand out to shake.

I sat in front of my desk. “Talk to me,” I said.

“I set up the roundtable, and a meeting with Senator Davis.”

“When does he come into town?”

“In two days, which gives you time to talk to them and let them know your position.” Carlo handed over some pictures of Linda, coming out of Sabrina’s office.

“How much did she invest?”

“$20 million.”

“Good. Has the DEA found anything yet?”

“From what the lawyers say, they have nothing, so we should continue to let them run in circles.”

“Roberts is an asshole who wants to push my buttons.”

“But you're not going to give into him because that would look bad, since you just got off on charges.”

“I don’t have to do anything, but close friends of mine may think differently.”

“Antonio, you know as well as I do, we can’t go around killing agents whenever we think they're flirting with our women.”

“It’s bigger than that.”

“No, I’m afraid you're thinking of me as a husband, and not a don.”

“I appreciate you holding down the fort.”

“Everyone is so sure you’ve cut away from the cartel to focus on being a family man.”

“I can never leave it, not after my father’s death.”

“Do you regret it?”

“Killing him?”

“He was your father, Antonio.”

“I’m not interested in going down Memory Lane. He betrayed us.”

“Senator Davis only wants our continued support with his investments,” Carlo said.

I nodded. “As long as he keeps the judge and the DA under control, then we won’t have any problems,” I replied.

“Did you see April?” Carlo chuckled

I ran a hand down my face.
