Chapter 3

Ace returned from Alexei’s to find Katie, Diego, Smalls, and Riley all sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for him.

“We need to talk to you,” Katie said, her voice tight.

“What is this? A fucking intervention?” Ace joked as he sat down.

“Some of us,” Smalls began hesitantly, “are concerned your focus isn’t exactly where it should be right now. But all I need is some reassurance that you’re looking after things,” he said, emphasizing the ‘I’ to let Ace know he didn’t agree with everything Katie was saying.

Ace let out a deep sigh. “Look, guys, I know you’re worried, but trust me—I have everything under control.”

“You are not behaving like someone who has things under control,” Riley said.

Everyone gave him their full attention. Riley didn’t speak often, but when he did, it was something to be carefully considered.

“You walked into Alexei’s with no one behind you.” Ace realized Riley was scolding him. “The people in this gang rely on you. You have a responsibility to them as their leader to make them feel safe. When you make reckless choices and put yourself in danger, you weaken yourself, which frightens people and makes them weak in turn.” Riley gazed at Ace with heavy eyes. “Strong leader, strong group. Weak leader, weak group.”

Ace didn’t say anything for a moment, absorbing what Riley had said. “What about you, Diego?” he asked.

Diego shifted in his seat. “I’m all for going in guns blazing, pero going in by yourself is suicide. We need you around. This girl...” Diego started to say, immediately stopping when he saw Katie’s death glare.

Ace looked between the two of them. “Wait a minute, this is about Fiona?” he asked, looking directly at Katie.

“This is about the decisions you’ve made recently,” Katie said, throwing her hair over her shoulder. “But if we’re going there, yes, you started making these kinds of decisions once she came around.”

“Well, I’m taking her out of here, so you don’t have to be jealous anymore, Katie,” Ace said drily.

Riley, Diego, and Smalls all exchanged looks, slowly and quietly getting up out of their chairs to leave the kitchen. The three of them all knew there was no longer any room for a rational discussion. When Ace and Katie went at it, minimum safe distance was the far side of the moon.

“I am not jealous!” Katie screamed, and Ace rolled his eyes. “You are behaving like a complete ass, and you’re going to get us all killed!”

“Are you listening?” Ace asked sarcastically. “I said I’m moving her out of here! So no more danger, all right?”

“So you take her to some safe house, then what? What happens next? Because I’m still seeing us getting murdered.”

“I don’t understand how you can still be so mad,” Ace exclaimed. “This morning you told me you didn’t want her staying here, and now she’s not staying here! How do you still have a problem?”

“What I said was that you needed to put the gang first!” Katie yelled back. “And right now,
