“Really?” I bite back.
“Yes. Really. I came thinking about you tied up on my bed, your red ass up in the air as I fuck that little tight hole of yours as you beg me to let you finish.”
I gulp, snapping my lips together. That image forever engrained firmly in my mind.
“Quite the picture, isn’t it?” He tips his head to the side, his warm breath hitting against my jaw.
We lock eyes, and he releases me.
“My question.”
“Yes, detective. What have you got for me?”
“Maria. Why did you kill her?”
He rubs his beard. “Because that bitch deserved it.”
He leans back in and I hold my breath.
“I’m sure I’ll see you around, detective.”He salutes me and turns his back to me and walks down the alley. It leaves me breathless and on fire.
The door slams shut behind me, the sound doesn’t jostle me from the spell of watching him slip into the shadows.

“What the fuck do you mean, there is a shipment coming in?” I shout into the phone to Enzo.
“It flagged up. Do you want me to send some guys down there?” Enzo asks, and I rub my finger on my temple.
“Yes. Get Keller, Jax, and Kai down there, too. Keep an eye on police reports. Keep your guys waiting on the sidelines until we work out what the hell is going on.”
“Got it.”
I cut the call, turning to Grayson, who abruptly turns the car around in the middle of the road.
“The docks, I take it?”
I nod. “Tell me we’ve got enough weapons in this car.”
He laughs, putting his foot down on the accelerator.
“It’s a fucking candy shop in the trunk. We’re good. You think it’s Romano?”
Most likely Romano’s first power move. To remind me that he can try to take me down from Sicily. I could be wrong; it could be a coincidence.
The only downside is, we have no commissioner on board this time. We have no police units blocking the roads or the call ins. We do have Enzo, though, ready to intercept the response. The last thing I need is to get arrested again. I need Zara away from me, not even hotter on my tail.
If we are right and the Commissioner has switched sides, they’ll be waiting for me to slip up. Like hell am I letting them take my docks. So, it’s a risk we have to take tonight. It won’t be the last one either. Until Romano is dead, we have to fight. I can’t die until I end that motherfucker.
I spot Keller, Kai and Jax on the side of the road next to the entrance and G pulls up next to them.
“What the hell is going on?” Keller asks.
“We’re about to find out.”I grab the pack of cigarettes from my suit jacket and open them, offering Grayson one.
“Thanks, boss.” He slides one out and sparks it up. Keller does the same.
