than I have given him in a long time. "But it wasn't them."
I nod. "Nope, they had no idea about Mia. So that got me thinking, who knew about Mia? Not only that, who knew where Mia was heading that day?"
He frowns. "No one, Tina had only given her the keys to the house moments before the argument. So how did they know where she'd be?"
I give him a pointed look. "That's what I've been trying to figure out. See, Dad, there was only a handful of people that knew that Mia was mine and those people are in my inner circle."
Realization hits him. "You think one of your men betrayed you? That they have Mia and Lacey?"
"Yes, that's what I think. I've been trying to find out which one of my men has done this and I've come to realize that I don't trust any of them. I received some Intel today that Barney is the one who has been betraying me. He'll be dealt with."
Dad listens on intently. "Dad, I need to find out how they got to Mia."
"Hudson, do you really think that Barney has done this?" He too feels the betrayal.
"He's had four deposits of fifty thousand into his account in the past six months. He's not innocent, Dad, far fucking from it."
He shakes his hand in disbelief. "Shit, he's got to go, Son."
"Jagger and Aaron are getting him as we speak."
He nods. "So, what do you need from me?"
"I had Mia's car searched, I wanted to know if she was followed by having a tracker on her car. She didn't. So the only thing I can think of is that someone had her phone tapped. She spoke to Lacey, she had to have told her where to meet her as Lacey was at the house too. I need you to find out who tapped her phone."
"Okay, I'll have someone look into it. Someone outside of the men. They'll keep it on the down low so no one will find out."
"Thanks Dad, I appreciate that."
He waves his hand. "No thanks necessary. I'm your father, Hudson. I'll do anything for you and in turn Mia. Not just for you but for Tina too."
My lip curls in disgust at Tina's name.
"I know you don't like her and you have every reason. I've warned her that while we're here she will respect you."
Finally he understands how it's played. "Good."
"About Lacey. That's what I don't get. Barney really likes her, why would he have her kidnapped?"
I hand him the file that Martin left and Dad lets out a low whistle. "He's not playing around is he?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" I ask as I watch him stare at the pictures.
"Hudson, do you not know who this is?"
I roll my eyes. "Obviously not."
Dad shakes his head, almost as if he's disappointed. "Son, that's Tianna Mancini, she's the daughter of Cesare Mancini."
Fuck, so Barney's in with the Mancini Mafia, just what I fucking need. "I'm going to talk to him, find out what the hell he's doing with her." You don't just date the daughter of the mafia, you have to be inducted into the family. Approved by the head, approved by her dad. So I want to know what the fuck Barney is doing.
"Find out son, and find out soon." Dad implores. "The last thing you need is finding out that the Mancini's are involved, that's going to start a fucking war."
I stand. "I'm on it, Dad. If the Mancini's have anything to do with this, they'll regret it."
Dad also stands, he looks at me like I’ve never seen him do before, a soft expression on his face. “You need me, Son, just call. I’ll be there.”
I walk over to him. “Thanks Dad. I’m hoping we’re getting close to finding Mia.” I give his shoulder a squeeze.
