Page 247 of John + Siena: The Complete Duet

“Your way isn’t working either,” Kev snarled. “At least with my way, we were knocking them down. Even if it was one by fucking one. Let’s try my way one more time—something a bit more violent. It’s my choice, and I made it.”

Shit.

That didn’t sound good.

Kev’s conversation continued on with Darren, but Siena only listened for long enough to learn that he wasn’t giving anything about his plans away. Nothing that she could use to tell John, or Andino.

The vibration of the cell phone made Siena quickly step further away from the office door, and dig around inside her bag to answer the call. She put it to her ear, and asked quietly, “Hello?”

“Is Meghan there?”

Siena smirked a little. “Wrong number, sorry.”

As she pulled the phone away a little, she heard the guy say, “Andino is in the back alley of the restaurant. Ten minutes, at most.”

Click.

Siena dropped the phone into her bag, and looked between the bustling restaurant just down the hallway, and the back exit that was just a few feet away. It wasn’t the back alley, but it would lead her to the back alley, plus give her a way back in.

Kev’s conversation was still going full force behind her. It was a risk. But frankly, everything she did lately was risky.

Siena slipped out the exit door, and tried not to roll her ankles as she ran toward the back alley behind the restaurant. Sure enough, she found an unknown red car running in the back alley parked between two other businesses.

Andino didn’t drive a red car, but he was behind the wheel of the vehicle. Siena slipped into the passenger seat without thinking about it.

“New car?” she asked.

Andino laughed. “Borrowed, actually. Your brothers’ people know my shit.”

“Oh.”

“I have a favor to ask.”

Siena looked over at the man. “Sure.”

“It’s not going to be easy.”

She scoffed.

“Nothing in this life is ever easy, Andino.”

“Fair enough,” he murmured.

“By the way, Kev is pissed that nothing they’re doing to the Marcellos is working at the moment, so he’s decided to go back to his old ways.”

Andino scowled. “Violent means.”

“You could say that. He didn’t specify what or who, though.”

“Shit.”

“Sorry.”

Andino shrugged. “No worries. I’m hoping this plan I have for you will end a lot of it. Or shit, at the very least, make your other brother stop and reconsider some of his fucking options at the moment.”

Siena’s brow furrowed. “You’re going to have to explain that to me.”

“How much do you care for your brothers?”
