I needed to change, and I needed to get the hell out of there.
I almost made it to the tree line when a whistle rang out. Gain motioned for me to follow him into the trees.
“You good?”
“No.” I tossed him the phone, and he looked at it then at me, confused over the photo of me and Sienna.
“Do whatever it is you guys do and tell me everything that is on that phone.”
“Yes, boss.”
I made a brief call then ordered the soldiers to stay put and to report to me if anyone else arrived between now and the time I checked back in.
“Permission to shoot?” Harris, one of my top soldiers, asked as I was about to leave.
“They’re after Sienna.” I whirled around to drive my point home. “You have permission to slaughter.”

Papa: We’re clear and have tripled our protection.
I quickly called my father as I headed back toward the car and filled him in.
Vinni met me at the end of the road, and I tossed my keys to Gain and ducked in the back of Vinni’s car.
“I have your bag and one Andrea packed for Sienna.” He looked over his shoulder to check his blind spot as he eased onto the main road. “You good?”
“No.” I tapped Francesco’s number. He answered on the second ring.
“I promise you she’s good.” He must have stepped out onto the balcony by the sounds that could be heard over the phone. “She just fell asleep.”
“How many soldiers do you have that can get to the hotel?”
Silence.
“I don’t know.” He paused. “Maybe three or five?”
“Find more.”
“Elio, what’s happening?”
“Someone’s put a hit out on Sienna. They’ve named her as Mikey. That’s why we were attacked at the house. I have a feeling they’re heading your way.”
“Mikey? That makes no sense. How could they think it’s Sienna? The timelines of the transactions wouldn’t even match up.”
I thought about all those late nights when Francesco, Papa, and I combed the web for any dealings with someone named Mikey. We did find a couple of companies, but no one would agree to speak to us about it. I made a mental note that when they came under my rule, they’d answer to me or have consequences.
“I don’t know. She was just named as Mikey. Maybe it’s an organization.”
“Jesus,” he huffed. “All right. I’ll make some calls. But hang on. I need to wake up Sienna, because, Elio, you need to hear what she has—”
A call came in, and I pulled the phone away from my head to read the screen.
What the hell kind of timing was this?
“I’m on my way. I’ll call you back. Just get some guys there fast.” I hung up and flipped over to the other call.
“I’d ask how you are, but something tells me I know the answer.” Mariano chuckled, and I could tell by his slurred words he had probably had just taken a hit of cocaine.
