“I know the address of the right property, but we must leave. We will finish this later.”
I remove my backpack and place it at my feet. I then remove my suit jacket to reveal my new custom vest Uncle Uri had madefor me. The new weighted vests look like a third piece to my suits and have hidden panels for my knives so they’re not as obvious.
Neatly folding my jacket to place in my backpack, I then tuck it under my arm. Next, I open my backpack and take out the holster inside to put on before I tuck my jacket into the backpack.
“What the fuck? What just happened, Sammy?” Uncle Czar asks.
“They are going to make their move. Maldonado, my other bag, please,” I reply as I place my backpack back on and pull out my phone.
“I’m calling your dad.”
“No, I have that covered. You and Maldonado will ride down with me. Half of their men will be in the garage.
“The other half are on the street. They intend to ambush our car once we pull out. They won’t get the opportunity,” I say without lifting my head from my phone.
Jamie is on standby to deliver something to my parents for me. Mom and Dad know I’m in training, but they still worry about me. I need them to see who I am too.
Tonight, everyone will know.
Me:Do it now.

“This is a nice place,”Tasha says as we enter the restaurant with Uri and Val.
“We’ve been here once since the opening. The food was divine. The service.” Val pulls a face and shrugs. “Let’s hope they have worked on that.”
“Dinner without having to play ref, I’ll take it. I’d be happy to go back there and get my own order,” Tasha snickers.
“You and me both. I swear Inzo and Nori have been driving me crazy lately. Everything has become an argument between the two.”
“It will stop,” Uri says confidently.
“I hope so.” Val pouts.
“If it does not, they will be in Italy.”
Val begins to laugh. “You will not send our children to live on the same property only to be acres apart. They aren’t you and your siblings. We will not turn that into a Donati tradition.”
“I don’t see why not. It will work.”
Val rolls her eyes and grabs Tasha by the hand to move to the hostess station as the people ahead of us move out of the way. I step behind my wife with my hands crossed in front of me. Uri does the same, placing a hand on Val’s back.
“Your table will be ready in another ten minutes,” the hostess says.
“Thank you,” Val says.
“Let’s head to the bar,” Uri says.
I nod as Tasha and Val walk ahead of us. With a smile on my face, I keep my eyes on my wife. She and Val are dressed similarly.
They both have on leather-looking bodysuits and red bottoms. Tasha is wearing a leather crop jacket that calls attention to all her curves. Val has a cape on over hers.
I get the feeling there’s a holster resting under there. I grin, knowing Tasha has hers locked in the hidden compartment of her bike. We both rode in on our motorcycles this evening.
It seems Uri and Val had the same idea. Something tells me Sammy planted the seed to get us all to make that decision tonight. I wouldn’t put it past him.
Once we are all seated, we place our drink orders. However, before our drinks are placed in front of us, Jamie and Dylan O’Brien appear. My hackles go up immediately.
