“Look, this is getting us nowhere,” Alessandro said quickly. “Elisabetta, can you call your mom? Can you see what’s going on? Can you—”

“I don’t know what my mom will tell me,” she said. “My mom didn’t even tell me who my father was.”

“What? Who’s your father?” Imogen asked softly.

“Don Roberto Marchesi,” Elisabetta said. “I’m their sister. Well, their half-sister.”

“Oh, wow.” Gia’s eyes widened. “I didn’t see that coming.”

“There are a lot of things that you don’t see, Gia,” Alessandro said.

I was about to say something to him when my phone started ringing. I grabbed it out of my pocket. My heart was racing when I saw it was Jimmy.

“Jimmy, where are you?” I said quickly.

“It was Tommasso Romano, boss,” he said, sounding like he was coughing.

“Are you okay? What’s going on?”

“I’m going to be okay, boss. I… I was taken. Me and the other boys, we were taken. We’re at war. You got to be careful.”

I had a feeling something was up.

“So, is Tommasso working with the Di Lorenzos?”

“No, it’s not the Di Lorenzos. Nico’s not involved. Some of the guys that took me, I heard their accents. They’re Russians. He’s teamed up with the Bratva.”

“Fuck! Is Tommasso a stupid fucking idiot? Why would he team up with the Russians? You know they’ll only shoot him in the head with his own gun.”

“I don’t know, boss. I told you when you disrespected his daughter something like this was going to happen.”

“It is what it is. Where are you, Jimmy?”

“I’m in some shithole upstate. I just popped a cap on three guys, and I’m driving back to the city.”

“You need any help? You want us to come and get you? What’s going on?”

“Nah, I’m okay. I’ll be there soon.”

“Jimmy, they’ve got Callie.”

“Fuck!” he said. “I knew something bad was going to happen. But at least they don’t have you, boss.”

“It’s almost like they had me, Jimmy,” I said. “They’ve got Callie.”

“But we were kidnapping her, boss.”

“And I wasn’t going to let a fucking hair on her head be hurt. You know that, Jimmy.”

“It’s because you like her, huh, boss?”

“I don’t have time for this, Jimmy, but we got to find her.”

“I know,” he said. “I should be there in an hour, okay?”

“Okay. I’m here with Alessandro and Gia and Elisabetta and Imogen.”

“Who the fuck’s Imogen?” he said. “Not some broad you’re fucking. Is that really smart to have her there while you’re looking for Callie?”
