Dominick looked across at his father, Big Pete, who had fallen asleep and was snoring loudly.

“Yes, I will take care of this problem,” he said quietly in Russian.

He left the house and made his way to I-95 and headed to Fort Lauderdale to spend the night with Ivan’s daughter Katrina. He pulled the flash drive out of his shirt pocket, looked at it and cursed himself. He was not as technologically adept as Katrina and disliked having to rely on her. He preferred to keep simple, handwritten ledgers of his cash. She assured him it was safer to keep his books and records in this portable electronic format. He had to trust her and this he hated. But, he enjoyed her company, so he returned the drive to his shirt pocket. The attraction was more than just the sex. She was a beautiful woman with a mind to match. Now he wondered if there was another side to her, one he had not seen before.

He made his plans the day he found out Ivan was talking to the FBI. He would wait for the most opportune time, and it turned out he didn’t have to wait long. He had called the office that day and spoken to Henrietta. She was getting ready to leave the office, and she mentioned that Ivan was still there. He was waiting for the fortune teller. He drove to Boca Vista and parked across from the office. When he saw the fortune teller leave, he entered through the back door.

“Good evening, Ivan,” he said as he walked into Ivan’s office. In it was a large conference table with models of the upscale properties built by his father. Ivan was standing near the table and was not surprised to see him.

“We need to talk Ivan,” Dominick said.

“I want out Dominick,” Ivan said. Then he lit a cigarette and kept an eye on Dominick.

“I want you to stay away from my daughter. I never wanted her in this life, but you opened that door.”

“She has a mind of her own, Ivan. She came freely to this life. No one forced her to join the family business, so to speak.”

“I am going to speak to the FBI tomorrow, and my deal with them includes my daughter whether she likes it or not,” Ivan said.

“Let’s have a drink, Ivan. I’ll pour the vodka,” Dominick said calmly. Ivan sat at his desk and slowly opened a drawer as Dominick poured the vodka. His gun was no longer there.

As Dominick made his way back to Fort Lauderdale, he remembered turning out the lights of the office and Ivan sitting in a chair. He looked very peaceful as if he was asleep. The poison he put in the vodka was painless and tasteless.

Lucky for him, Katrina had once told him that her father was especially fond of having his fortune read with a cup of tea. He soaked some of the tea leaves with the poison and placed them in the bottom of Ivan’s teacup.
