“I’ll explain, and for now Dante will contact the other heads. Marcollies is fine, a flesh wound to the arm.”
“A confirmed hit? Who would be so fucking stupid?”
“Right now it looks like Ched Maloney and his main guy, Aiden. Take the proper precautions. We need to find out who else assisted with this.”
“You had some sort of meeting tonight too, with Lanka Volchek. Could that be part of this?”
“I didn’t confirm a deal with them. I had a bad feeling.”
“Your gut instincts are never wrong, Ivan. Let me assist and grab Lanka and Myran Shaw. I’ll have my people working on this too.”
“Very good. We’ll be in touch.”
As Ivan received call after call and his men got information confirming who was involved with the warehouse hit and the hit on Marcollies, he got into soldier mode and prepared to interrogate Maloney and Aiden. Those two assholes were going to suffer for this. Big time. The SUV came to a stop outside the private building. No one was around and they made their way inside and right to the room with the sound proof walls. An interrogation room, military style.
Maloney and Aiden were tied to chairs and separated from one another. A few enforcers stood by, preparing devices that would ensure these men gave it all up. Ivan wanted to know everyone who was involved. The two men were beaten up but looked defiant.
“You’re going to suffer for what you attempted to do.” Ivan said to them.
“Fuck you.” Ched said to him.
“Fuck me? I don’t think so asshole. You don’t put a hit out on a head of the families, and you sure as shit don’t try to rip me off, or rip off all the families. That’s their money, their profit.”
“You’re going down Ivan. You’re going to begging for mercy soon enough.” Ivan wasn’t sure what was going on and his gut clenched again.
“Who helped you? Tell us now and my friends here will go easy on you, and make your death not so painful or long.”
Aiden looked scared. He was shaking and kept looking at Ched. Ivan gave a nod to Mirnon. He and two others lifted Aiden’s chair and brought him into a different room.
“No, where are you taking me? Ched.” Aiden yelled.
“Keep your mouth shut. You’re going to die either way, don’t be a fucking rat.” Ched said and Ivan struck him in the face. His head went back and then came forward.
“I think I’ll join in.” Ivan said and stepped back and pulled off his jacket. Ched widened his eyes and gulped. He was scared, and he knew, heard about Ivan’s capabilities. Men feared him for good reason. He would find out everyone who was involved and they would be dealt with accordingly.

Annabella went upstairs to take a short reprieve. She used the rest room and then heard Lucca through her ear mic.
“I’m upstairs. I just needed to freshen up. Is everything okay? Do you need me?”
“No, stay there. Make sure Quarters is there.”
“He is. What’s wrong, Lucca?” She could hear the concern in his voice.
“Nothing is wrong. Just take your time and when you get back down here I may need some help behind the bar.”
“Okay.” She ended the conversation and then looked at herself in the mirror.
The black dress was sexy and tight. It showed off her figure and she couldn’t wait for Ivan to remove it from her body. God, she loved his hands. Loved the feel of them upon her body. She loved him so much it was crazy how she missed him now. She hoped that he was having a good time at the gala event, yet hoped he wasn’t and would get to Gable’s sooner.
She took a deep breath and smiled. “Well, back to work.” She exited the office and saw Quarter’s, he was standing up.
“Going back down?” he asked and she smiled.
“Yes I am. How are you doing tonight?” He didn’t answer her as the doors opened and two men were there.
Quarter’s pushed her to the side. “Who are you?”
