“What else did Bear send you? You said there were two letters.”
“There were.” She cleared her throat. “Our suspicions were correct.”
I stilled. Then my door buzzer sounded.
“Who’s that?” she demanded.
Checking out the cameras, I murmured, “Aidan.” My chin tipped forward when I saw Brennan beside him. “Bren, too.”
She released a breath. “Thank fuck.”
“Your grandfather might like to think he’s all-seeing and all-knowing, but he isn’t,” I retorted. “He’s not due in the city until Friday. Remember?”
“After what Eagle Eyes shared with us last night, you still think that?”
I grimaced. “To be honest, I’m not sure what I think about any of this. I just know we’re in the middle of a shitstorm and nothing is making much sense.”
I released the door so my brothers could walk in and yelled, “I’m in my office.”
“No shit, Sherlock,” Aidan drawled as he strolled in, a cross between James Bond and a walking advertisement for tailored suits.
Brennan, as always, looked like a bruiser. You could dress him up in Brioni, but fuck, you couldn’t take away from the fact he was the fists of our family.
“What do you want?”
“To speak with you, moron,” Brennan grumbled.
Aidan perched his ass on Star’s desk and folded his arms across his chest. “I wanted to talk yesterday but after everything with… everything, it didn’t seem the appropriate time.”
I put Star on speaker. “We’re listening.”
Aidan cast a wary glance at my cell. “You won’t like what I have to say, Star.”
“It’s that kind of day, Aidan. Hit us with it.”
“I think your grandfather is losing his shit.”
My brow furrowed. “Why in particular?”
“At first, I could okay this beef he has with the English. Don’t particularly feel Irish, not like Da, but to honor our ancestors, why the hell not?
“So, I got the ECD to target wherever he wanted to wreak havoc. On the border with Northern Ireland, ships brought in cargo from the UK to the Republic. I had them screw with trucking logistics, fuck with that embassy’s security so he could listen in—”
“You didn’t tell me about that, Conor,” Star growled.
My nose crinkled. “Aidan asked. What was I supposed to do? Say no?”
“Erm, no, you were supposed to share. Isn’t that the crux of this whole teamwork crap you keep spouting?”
“I only knew about the embassy security. Not the rest of—”
“Before this triggers a full-on domestic squabble,” Brennan sniped, “let’s deal with what matters here?”
“Get on with it then,” she spat.
“I think he’s trying to overthrow the fucking Irish government,” Aidan stated, agitatedly stroking a hand through his hair.
“You can’t think that. Where’s your evidence?”
