Kirill was silent. I waited for some word from him, something,anythingto let me know it wasn’t too late. I’d deal with his disobedience later. For now, I just needed to know he hadn’t already done something stupid.
Something irreversible.
“Kirill,” I said again, my voice low and threatening.
“Look, boss, you didn’t seem like you wanted to do this, so I decided—”
“Youdecided?” I snapped. “It’s not your job to decide things.”
“I know. Hey, I’m sorry, Papa. I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I just meant that I saw how hard it hit you when I told you and I thought I’d take the burden away. Take care of this myself.”
“That’s very thoughtful of you, Ki,” I said sarcastically, “but I don’t need your help to do what needs to be done. Now tell me where you are and don’t touch a single hair on her head until I get there.”
“No can do, sir. She’s a snitch and we have to take care of it. If you can’t, then I’m gonna.”
“Ki—”
He hung up on me. I stared at the phone in shock, unable to believe that had actually happened. I hit redial, just in case it’d been some kind of mistake, but the call went straight to voicemail. He’d not only hung up on me, but he’d switched his phone off. I fisted my hands, closing my eyes in frustration.
I couldn’t let Kirill kill Nora. I had to find them.
The doorbell rang and I hurried to open it, wondering if somehow Nora had escaped—
It was Katya at the door. She didn’t miss how my face fell when I saw her.
“What is it?” she asked as she stepped into my apartment and closed the door.
I took a deep breath. “Kirill’s got Nora. I think he’s going to kill her.”
She gaped at me. “Kill her? Why?”
“Because she might be a snitch. Kirill had footage of her sneaking into my office.”
“And on the back of that alone you order a hit?” She stared at me in disbelief.
“Of course not. Kirill took it upon himself to fucking kidnap her. Now I don’t know where he took her.” I couldn’t help how my voice broke on the last words.
Katya came up to me, squeezing my shoulder. “Nora’s no snitch. You guys got it all wrong.”
I quirked an eyebrow in surprise. “What do you mean by that?”
She sighed. “Nora is just looking for what happened to her sister. Her last name isn’t Walsh, it’s Young… as in Celia?”
My hands went cold. “What? She’s Celia’s sister? She told me her sisterdied.”
“Well, yeah according to the police she’s declared dead, but Nora wasn’t satisfied with that. She’s been trying to find out what happened.”
“Why didn’t she just ask me?”
Katya gave him a look.
“Well, okay fine, maybe I wouldn’t have entertained her questions, but really there’s nothing to hide. Celia was fired months ago. The end.”
“Not the end.” Katya shook her head. “She disappeared shortly after that.”
“What?”
“Yep. Just dropped off the face of the earth.”
