“They killed my boy and now they want to kill me too,” he rasps, balling his hands into tight fists. “I should have killed Peter when I had the chance. My daughter… I have to check to see if she’s okay.”
He grabs his phone and I pray with everything inside me that someone will answer and tell him she’s fine. I just want to hear that she got back home safe.
The phone Donny calls rings out to voicemail so he tries another number.
Someone answers this time.
“Where’s Evie?” Donny demands.
I can’t quite hear what the person on the other end is saying but whatever explanation he gives has Donny standing with the same rage.
“She’s not back yet!” Donny snarls and that’s when my heart shatters. Evie would have been home at least an hour ago. If she’s not then she can’t be safe. “You should never have let them leave the premises. I told you all she wasn’t to go anywhere.”
Donny hangs up and calls Tony and I think we all hear the dead tone of his phone.
I can’t look away from Donny. I think my skin has gone as pale as his because my blood feels like someone siphoned it from my body.
“Evie’s not home,” Donny stutters.
“She came to see us,” I tell him. It feels right that I do.
His brows furrow into a deep crease and his nostrils flare.
“You?”
“It was a trap, Donny.”
He’s about to answer when we hear a weird sound coming from outside.
I can’t quite place what it is.
Thwap, thwap, thwap.
That’s the sound. As it gets closer and louder I realize it’s a helicopter.
Donny’s phone rings and he answers straightaway.
“Hello.”
I recognize the voice that comes on to be Peter’s. He has a distinct mocking edge that irritates the fuck out of me.
He doesn’t say much and again I can’t hear properly but I don’t need to know that he has Evie.
The business and her.
That’s what he wanted. This carefully thought out plan was well put together and played all of us.
He got me and Henry out of the picture. Of course he would have done what he did to us to fuck us over, but the bastard also wanted to destroy us.
Then he drafted us into his fucking plan today to play the fools.
I growl when Donny hangs up and stares back at me like he’s lost everything.
“They have her. The helicopter is for me. I’m to go alone with no guns. They want the business in exchange for her life. I have to go Georgiou.”
“Wait, we have to figure this out. We can get the men together.”
“I don’t want to risk my daughter’s life. Peter wants her, but he’s the kind of fucker who will kill her to be spiteful. Whatever he feels for her won’t matter. I have to go.”
