“Good choice.” I blow out the match and stand up to remove Enzo’s gag.
He starts talking the moment his mouth is free.

Ten minutes later, I leave the room, and while walking across the empty warehouse, I take out my phone to call Roman.
“The arsonist talked. It was Bruno. He orchestrated everything,” I say, “And they took the drugs from Diego Rivera, not Mendoza.”
“That bastard. When I asked Rivera to double the quantities for us, he said he’s already stretched too thin.”
“From what Enzo said, it looks like police killed Manny Sandoval, and Rivera took over his business. That’s how he got more product.”
“Fuck.” He curses. “There is always some shit going on down there.”
“Yeah. And we have another problem.” I squeeze the bridge of my nose and sigh. “We can’t blow the transport, Roman.”
“Why the hell not?”
“Bruno decided to deliver a gift to Dushku along with the product. There is a girl on that truck.”
“Are you shitting me? Dushku is not into that kind of stuff.”
“It was meant to be a surprise.”
“Your father-in-law is one sick bastard.”
“Yeah. Now what?”
“Put someone on their tail. When they stop for the night, get the girl out and then blow the thing up.”
“Okay.”
I put the phone back in my pocket, get into the car, and start the engine.
“I don’t like clubs, Bianca.”
“Please. I promised Milene.”I make a sad expression.“And you said you would take me dancing, remember?”
Milene’s friend, Caterina, wanted to go out somewhere for her birthday. My sister proposed Ural, one of the Bratva's clubs. I told her it’s not wise, even with the truce between the two sides. But she insisted, saying that if Mikhail and I come along, nothing would happen. If Father finds out, she’s toast.
“I said, we’ll see,” he says and passes his hand through my hair. “When?”
“Tonight.”I smile.“I already arranged with Sisi to look after Lena. She will be here any moment.”
“So, you were sure I would say yes.” He bends until our heads are at the same level. “Roman was right. You did wrap me around your little finger.”
“Is that bad?”I ask and watch as he takes my hand in his and places the tip of my pinkie to his lips.
“Nope.” He kisses my finger. “Who else is coming?”
“Milene and Caterina. And Andrea, the don’s granddaughter. Maybe her sister, Isabella, as well.”
“Rossi’s new wife?” He lifts his eyebrow. “I’ll call Pavel to let him know. We’ll need more security.”
Too loud music, too many people, too much alcohol. I never liked clubs when I was younger, and now I just loath them. Everybody knows that, and when Pavel spreads the news of me coming to Ural with Bianca, I will never hear the end of it.
I lead the girls to the table in the corner and turn around, making sure all four security guards Pavel set up are in their places. Combined with Andrea’s and Isabella’s bodyguards, that makes seven men watching over four girls. Deeming it more than enough, I take Bianca’s hand and pull her to the side near the end of the bar where there is more light.
