“You’re taking them out?”
“Star wants to and I think it’ll give her closure before we pass this to Interpol and let them handle the Sparrows.” My phone buzzed and I smiled when I saw it was a text message.
Star: Be Your Love - Bishop Briggs
Me: Still talking to Finn. Will listen in a little while.
Star: Dagda updates?
Me: Finn says it’s looking rough.
“What is it?”
“Star’s awake.”
“Unsurprising—it’s been a hell of a day.”
I blew out a breath. “You’re not wrong. Getting Troy and Lyra settled next door wasn’t easy. Sorry for wrecking Saturday dinner.”
“Don’t worry about it. Wasn’t like you wanted that shit to go down. If it weren’t for you, Dagda would be dead.”
“That close?”
He hummed.
“Fuck. I’m not sure what to say to that.”
“Why?” he inquired.
“He killed Star’s mom.” Never mind his role in Da’s death. “She wanted him dead, but I’m not sure now. She asked about him so maybe she’s changed her mind.”
“Maybe she wants to question him?”
“Could be. What did Eoghan tell you about Jorgmundgander?”
“Everything.”
“Crazy, no?”
“Insane. I thought he was talking about a Marvel movie at first.”
“How are you fuckers my brothers and don’t watch any of those movies?”
“I’ve seen a couple. I’m just not a nerd like you.” Ignoring my scoff, Finn drawled, “I’m not surprised though. Ever since Eoghan told me he worked for MI6, I knew he was involved in crazy stuff. It explains why his PTSD gets worse even though we thought he was out of action.”
“Yeah, I guess it does. The pressure doesn’t relent.” I blinked. “I wish…”
Finn took a sip of his scotch. “What do you wish, Kid?”
“That he’d had other options. That he’d never gotten into this shit. That he could have been a fucking teacher if he wanted or a goddamn chef.”
“That’s on Da,” he rumbled, his gaze on the amber liquid in his glass.
“It was. What are you going to do about Jake?”
“Give him options.”
“The Five Points will die out without an O’Donnelly at the head…”
