“I don’t like this, reginella.”

Catherine set Cece’s plate of French toast sticks down in front of her on the tray. Cece’s tiny hands reached for the napkin, and flicked it open. Carefully, like her mother and father taught her to do, she tucked the napkin into the collar of her purple dress, and smoothed it down her front.

All by herself.

Sweet as could be.

Catherine bent down and kissed her daughter on the cheek. Cece preened like an angel.

“Good job, Cece.”

“Like big girls, Ma.”

“That’s right. Just like big girls do.”

“Did you hear what I said?” Miguel asked.

“I’ve heard it the last twenty times you’ve said it,” Catherine replied.

She never turned away from Cece as she addressed her right hand man, and friend. She showed Cece how to dip her sticks into the maple syrup.

“And if we bite it really quick, we won’t get sticky,” she said.

Cece made a face. “Okays.”

Her girl didn’t sound so sure.

Cece wasn’t big on messes.

“Catherine.”

“In a second, Miguel.”

Once Catherine was satisfied Cece was going to eat the French toast sticks despite the stickiness of the syrup, she turned to face her friend. Catherine nodded to the doorway, and Miguel headed in that direction without as much as a word.

Cece stayed behind, watching her cartoons from her spot on the bed, and eating breakfast. Catherine didn’t miss how her daughter’s eyes still followed her, though.

In the main room, Catherine opted to stand instead of sitting on the old couch. It needed an upgrade, frankly.

Much like the carpets.

And the drapes.

The three-star Mexican hotel they had registered into was nothing to scoff at, but it was still a little downgraded for Catherine’s tastes. She wasn’t a snob; she simply was accustomed to working out of nicer venues.

She wasn’t about to complain.

This would do just fine for the short time they were actually going to be in Mexico. Then, she would be at her Four Seasons hotel in California for a while. After all, she still had those other issues to deal with.

“Get it out,” Catherine said as she closed the bedroom door behind her.

Miguel scrubbed a hand down his jaw. “I just think it’s a bad idea for you to go to this meeting alone, reginella.”

Catherine nodded. “Thank you for your concern, but you know I don’t have a choice at the moment, Miguel.”

“I know you could ask for the meeting to be a little more to your benefit.”

“How, by asking the contact to get it scheduled later? I already don’t have time as it is. I need to get this done, and get cocaine moving into New York as soon as I can. Should I demand they allow me to bring an army of guards with me? All that will do is tell them I don’t trust them.”

“You shouldn’t trust them. They’re cartel, and we don’t even know them.”

“Giuseppe Bianchi is cartel, too. Just because he wears nice suits, lives in a big house, and owns his own jet doesn’t make what he does any better, Miguel.”

“I’m just saying—”

“Miguel, they do business with a lot of families.
