“Same. Are you sure this is okay?”
“Yes. It’s fine. We need you as much as you need us right now.”
“Hey, Punky.” I hold my arms open to my best friend as she steps inside the condo.
"I'm sorry.” Bailey rushes into my arms, plastering her face against my chest. “I'm so sorry, Rome. I never meant for you to get dragged into my mess."
"I know. I just wish you had been honest with me. But I understand, and I forgive you."
The three of us make our way to the couch. "When Andrea called me, she said she had Antabuse in her system. Antabuse was Juan Carlos' odd method of punishment. He'd give it to Marco and me when we did something wrong. It didn't hurt us, but it made our lives hell. And with as teeny as you are, Andrea, and depending on how much he gave you, you could have easily blacked out."
"With everything the feds already have and this tape of Juan Carlos, he should be arrested, right?" Andrea asks.
"If only it were that easy. Juan Carlos knows people are looking for him, making it difficult to catch him. From what I'm hearing, his cartel is crumbling around him. He may be getting desperate soon. His resources are quickly depleting."
"What's going to bring him out of hiding?" Andrea asks.
"Money," Bailey and I say in unison.
"Why not just give the money back to him?"
"Juan Carlos isn't the type of guy you can just give money back to. He'll take your money and still shoot you dead," Bailey explains. "I've got a plan that should take Juan Carlos Villanueva down for good. Can I count on you both for help?"
"Always," I say, hugging my best friend.
"I'll call you in a couple days," she says before hugging us both and leaving.
"Care to explain?" I ask Andrea as I close the door, then pull her to me.
"There's nothing to explain. You two needed to make up, and you're both too stubborn to make the damn call. So, I did it for you."
"Thank you." I press my forehead against hers.
"Anytime, Romeo." She puckers her lips, asking for a kiss.
"Now, hurry up and get ready. I have a day planned for us."
"A day, huh? And you're not going to tell me where we're going?"
"Nope. Just a fun day to get our minds off everything.
Thirty minutes later, Andrea emerges from the bedroom and, as usual, takes my breath away. Her tan legs, apple-shaped ass, and dark hair framing a face with breath-taking amber eyes make me want to take her straight back to the bedroom and fuck the rest of the plans for today.
"Ready?" she asks.
"Damn, baby. You're making me want to cancel all our plans and take you right back to bed."
"What's stopping you?" she asks in the sexiest whisper.
"The gold at the end of the rainbow."
"Now, I'm intrigued."
"As you should be." I open the door of my truck and help Andrea up. I take a deep breath as I walk around the truck, hoping this day goes off without a hitch.
I bring up the custom navigation I created for today to begin our journey.
