"You'd kill a kid?"

"If he cops to the charges," I told him, "you won't need anything else. Your freedom is yours."
"I want to see Aoife."
"That isn't down to either of you," Finn snarled.
I cast him a look but agreed, "It's down to Aoife."
Finn gritted his teeth. "One false move, Keegan, and I'll turn her against you faster than you can take your next breath."
Keegan scoffed, "Blood is thicker than water."
Finn scowled at him, but it was Eoghan who drawled, "The Dagda I heard about wouldn't let anyone talk to him that way."
"The Dagda you heard about hadn't spent decades in prison being passed around like a fucking pawn at the whim of any government who paid the goddamn English enough money to use me. I’d have stayed in the army if that was what I wanted.
"Even in prison, they didn’t leave me the fuck alone." He pointed his thumb at himself. "I’m tired and I’m old. I want to get to know my family, and I want to be my own man at long last. I want Ireland to be one. And I want those Sparrows taken down. That’s my grocery list.
"I'm not an idiot, Junior. The chances of Ireland being unified are small, and it won't happen in my lifetime, but decimating the Sparrows is within reach.
"You give me that, you give me my freedom, and you give me the opportunity of having a relationship with the only family I have left... then I'll give you the ECD."
My smile was cold. "We have a deal."
