TWELVE

The FBI agents had been on Demyan’s radar long before he was on theirs thanks to a contact he had with the bureau—or rather, a woman in the bed of a man from the bureau. It paid to know the right people.

As he sat behind the desk in his home office, waiting for the arrival of the two agents he expected to meet shortly, Demyan already knew more about them than they ever would about him. In fact, he spent his time flipping through a file on both of them while he watched the camera footage of his front gates where their black, nondescript sedan would soon appear. It was one of three security cameras he’d recently had installed on the property, in very carefully chosen locations for reasons like tonight.

He’d dealt with a few officials in the past—cops, more times than he could count, but a handful of agents from the FBI had crossed his path before, too. The two whose file had come attached with pictures were not familiar faces.

Fucking perfect.

More pests to watch.

He was sure they were fully aware of who he was—nature of the business, considering the FBI had been created for the very purpose of catching criminals like Demyan. His contact simply allowed him the very valuable time to do his research on them, too.

Maybe the bastards thought they were going to surprise him by turning up at his house in the middle of the day, but he had unfortunate news for them. This was exactly where Demyan wanted them. On his turf, on his terms. There wasn’t much he could do to avoid a confrontation with the FBI when their investigation related to the recent Yazov activity probably connected his son to it.

He could control how that confrontation happened, though.

At least, he’d acted fast enough to send Claire away. He didn’t want these fucks breathing anywhere in his wife’s vicinity.

He had two of his men in the room with him—one, a brigadier he considered a friend, and the man’s bull, just because. He could have chosen other men, higher ranking men in his bratva, but what mattered the most was that he had anyone there. Vor or vory who would be trusted enough to ensure his activity with the FBI didn’t break their code of conduct. He’d have gotten his father there, but the agents decided to speed up their visit by a day, and left Demyan with no choice but to call on who he had closest.

Demyan didn’t mind witnesses.

Both stood behind his chair. One—his friend—shifted his weight from one foot to the other. It was his cue. Demyan looked up at the screen to see a black car drive up to the gates. A bull stationed there went through the instructions to ask a few general questions before letting them through, despite the badge they flashed in his man’s face. As if that made a fucking difference.

Demyan shuffled the pages back into the file in front of him, unhurried and already over the meeting before it could properly begin, and handed it back to one of the men behind him.
