His phrasing had me frowning. "About the Sparrows. Conor hasn’t discussed this with you?"
"I know there’s a lot of information, and I know that unless I ask for specifics, it’d be like asking Siri to recount the dictionary. Tell me what’s pertinent."
He had a point. "I can explain what I know. I don’t have all the facts. That’s how Star works. You never know everything. Sometimes it’s so she has the upper hand, and sometimes it’s because she wants to keep you safe."
"What is it in this instance?"
"Neither," I admitted softly. "I think she’s in so deep that she doesn’t know how to get back out. I think she’s gotten mixed up in something so fucking crazy that she knows she’s going to die."
"Jesus. Conor knows that? He loves her, Savannah."
"I know he does. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Why do you think I’m helping him?"
He raised our joined hands to his lips to kiss my knuckles. "Thank you on his behalf."
Heat flushed through me. "I’m not doing it for you."
"No, you’re doing it for your family. He’s your family now."
God, he was right.
Conorwasfamily.
The O’Donnellys weren’t just mobsters that I drooled over from afar. That I kept obsessive tabs on like a stalker because they were my idea of a celebrity.
They were my kin.
I sucked in a breath. "I think she was involved in your father’s death, Aidan."
While I expected him to lose his shit, he didn’t.
Instead, he shook his head. "She can’t have had anything to do with Da’s death. I know who killed him, Savannah, and it wasn’t Star."
I twisted in my seat. "You told me that he framed himself, but… You know who killed him?"
"I even know where the bastard is right now."
"What?! He’s still alive?"
"He is. But only by the skin of his teeth."
"I don’t understand."
"What do you know about the ECD?"
"The Irish freedom fighters? What about them? Are the Points involved with the ECD?"
He grunted. "More than we’d like. My grandfather was the leader."
"Which parent?"
"Ma’s."
"Makes sense." Years of genealogical research on his family, both sides, came to my aid. "Was your father?"
"He was inveigled with them, and I know he supported the idea of a unified Ireland, but as per fucking usual, he was all smoke and hot air.
"Aoife’s uncle, Savannah, is the current leader of the ECD."
