“And her,” I said. “She is to be protected at all costs.”
Rocco blew out a breath. “Fine, whatever. I will make sure that she’s safe.”
I nodded and turned back to the moment at hand, feeling the familiar warmth of anticipatory violence welling up in my belly. I had been here before. Hell, this was where I was most comfortable.
This was the first time, though, that I had had someone else to fight for. In the past, the Mafia had been what I fought for—the most important thing in my life.
Now it was Leda.
The Mafia had turned its back on me. Well, some of the Mafia. No more of this cloak and dagger bullshit. At least now, all the cards were on the table. Things were clearer now. Black and white instead of the different shades of gray.
“So what’s the plan?” Rocco asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.
I shrugged. “There’s not much to it. Shoot at anything that moves until we get to the house.”
Rocco scoffed. “You do realize we are on the back of a fucking yacht, and they are on jet-skis. This boat can only go so fast. They’re going to catch up.”
I clapped him on the shoulder. “Then shoot straight.”
“Remember what I said before?” Rocco asked, a smile playing on his lips.
“That I was going to be the death of you?” I grinned despite the tension in my body.
“Yeah, that.”
“Only one way to find out, right?”
He might be right. This might be the fight that neither of us could win.
I checked the magazine and clicked the safety off the AK.
But I would do it to keep Leda safe.
