Maxim Lyanov was the one who’d been caught in it, not her.
Nevertheless, that didn’t mean she wasn’t in danger.
This Kuznetsov appeared to be the last person who had seen her alive…
A man whose name stirred fear into the heart of a Bratva foot soldier who felt no fear in chopping up an enemy’s son into parts and presenting it at his feet—I’d heard the stories from Aidan and Brennan. Eventheyhad been surprised by how Lyanov had handled that situation.
Contemplating what I’d just learned, I decided the best way to deal with this was to send out a group message.
Me:Just a heads-up—Maxim Lyanov has been deposed as the Bratva Pakhan by Moscow itself.
Eoghan:How the hell do you know that?
Me:Does it matter?
Brennan:Yes. It matters. What’s going on, Kid?
Me:Got a call from Lyanov’s man, that Misha guy.
Aidan:Why did he contact you and not me?
Declan:Don’t throw a tantrum, Aidan. Just because you’re trying to set yourself as the big boss of everything, lol, it don’t make you president.
Eoghan:Hahahaha.
Aidan:Fuck off, Declan.
Declan:Just calling it how I see it. ;)
Eoghan:I agree. We gotta keep your head from exploding, Aidan.
Aidan:Savannah does that just fine.
Finn:Before this takes us down a rabbit hole none of us want to explore, what happened, Conor? What did Misha have to say?
Me:Lodestar has gone missing. As a result of his rescue attempt, the head of the Moscow Bratva deemed Lyanov’s judgment to be unsound. His men on the ground here are retrieving him from Moscow and are bringing him home to lead, no matter what the Bratva mothership wants.
Me:Misha asked that we support Lyanov’s claim to leadership and because of what he tried to do for Star, I said we would.
Brennan:You had no right to decide that. Not without speaking to us first.
Me:Like you’d consult us if anything jeopardized Camille’s safety. She’s my woman, Brennan.
Brennan:You’ve never met her. You could hate her the minute you set eyes on her. What if she’s catfishing you, for fuck’s sake? I know she ran out on you; doesn’t that tell you she ain’t good people?
Aidan:Brennan, watch it.
Finn:Yeah, you’re out of line.
Brennan:Someone has to think realistically here. I get how you can fall for someone out of nowhere. Jesus Christ, do I understand that. But I’m looking out for us all. Conor too. She’s no good, Kid. She wouldn’t have taken off and run if she gave a shit about you.
Me:You’re entitled to your opinion. I’ll allow her to change it when I bring her home.
Aidan:YOU’RE going? As in, leaving the country?
Me:She needs me.
Brennan:You hate flying.
