It’s been days since Andrew got here, and he still hasn’t found anything to pin down the Hales.
I reach in my pocket and dial his number. When the call connects, I start speaking. “Any news? My patience is wearing thin.”
I hear a loud sigh on the other end. “Nothing yet. I’ve talked to the owners surrounding their warehouse, I’ve watched the girl, I even tried to talk to people at the bank. Without warrants I can’t do anything, and being on leave, I can’t get the warrants I need.”
I grip my hair and tug it. “She’ll lead you to their supply. Keep watching her.”
“I have been, but someone else has caught my interest—”
I cut him off. “This isn’t about anyone else. This is about those fucking Hales. I want them gone, Andrew! I didn’t bring you here to look into anyone else.”
The line is quiet for a moment before he speaks again. “Fine.” He hangs up.
I squeeze my phone, then throw it to my side. “You need to leave town, David.”
David looks at me with a smirk. “You think I’m scared of them?”
“Don’t make this about how big and bad you are, this isn’t what that’s about. They have the chief on their side and more resources than me. If they want you dead, then you’ll be dead.”
He paces the floor in my apartment lazily like he can’t be bothered with what I’m saying. “Chill out, cousin. Sebastian wouldn’t let anything happen to me. You may not have much, but he has all of Mexico on his side. I’m not worried.”
I stand from my couch and grab him by the shoulders. “That’s the fucking problem! This isn’t Mexico, David. He doesn’t have the same kind of pull here. Stop being so fucking stupid and listen to what I’m saying.”
I wish I could shake him hard enough till he understood, but David hears nothing. He’s stubborn and strong-willed, only believing what he wants.
“Stop acting like my mamá. I will handle them if they try anything.”
I roll my eyes and plop back onto my couch. He is going to get killed and doesn’t even care.
