Sometimes his insolence is irritating. “Off. You can sit on a chair like a house-trained adult. This isn’t a fucking frat house.”
That earns me a snicker from Kai, who tugs on Jax’s black t-shirt to get him back to his feet.
“You heard him,” Kai says to Jax and gives me a nod.
These two are like a married couple. Jax, the wild one, the brute. And Kai is always there to calm him down and keep him out of trouble.
I stand and join them in the kitchen, taking a seat at the dining table. The rest of them all join me.
Enzo pulls out his laptop and puts on his glasses.
“I’ve never seen you with glasses. Very Clark Kent.” Keller mocks and holds his beer up to Enzo.
“Fuck off,” he retorts.
“What have you got for us?” I ask, looking at Enzo.
Enzo clicks a few keys before his eyes narrow at his screen. “Well, it looks like George took a private jet to Sicily.”
“Of course he did.”
He’s always made clear of his hatred for my family. Despite the fact I am not my brother, the Falcone name sticks. Luca was the only reason George was on our side. Now that Luca is out, the responsibility falls with me.
And Romano can force anyone into doing what he wants them to.
“So, how do we plan to keep power?” Grayson asks.
My chair rocks as I cross my foot over my knee. “We have to draw Romano here. I’m not fighting a war on anyone else's turf. We hold the upper hand here. We can’t let the commissioner know that we’re on to him. Let them think they have one over on us. I can feed him false information, easy enough. What about the lieutenant, Alex Pierce? Dig up any dirt on him?”
Enzo leans back with a frown. “Clean record. I’ll keep digging.”
“Alex is a lieutenant of the NYPD. There must be a way to get to him?”
He might have cleaned up the crime scene, I don’t trust him nor George. If one switches, the other is bound to follow.
“We killing cops now?” Keller glances at Grayson with concern.
I shake my head.
“I was thinking we start with blackmail. We don’t need that kind of heat on us. That is exactly what George will be waiting to pin on us. I’ve been playing these games with Romano for ten years now. I can be patient.”
My hands clasp together on the table before I turn to Enzo.
“Don’t forget we have a meeting at the club Friday,”Enzo reminds me.
“Club?” Jax’s eyes light up as he tips his chair back onto two legs, a grin on his face.
Barely containing an eye roll at his childishness, I simply give him a thumbs down. “I’ll take you another night.”
“Count me in,” Kai interjects, shoving Jax’s chair back on four legs. For a young guy, he certainly has his head screwed on.
“What about us?” A smirk creeps up on Grayson’s lips that makes me laugh.
“You two are far too married for this kind of club. Sienna and Maddie would rip your balls off and shove them down your throat.”
“Oh, that kind of club, yeah, I don’t think so,” Keller chuckles.
The two of them are so happily married it almost is revolting, popping out kids for fun. I’m concerned the organization is going to need its own fucking daycare soon.
