“I heard we have a guest,” Alessandro said, then turned to Cristo, and they both chuckled.
I raised a hand. “I don’t have time for you to fuck with me right now.” I could see the error of my word choice a second before Cristo burst out laughing.
“All fucked out then?” Alessio said, keeping a straight face. “Poor girl.”
I lowered my lids, glared at him, but he stared back. Was it hatred or unwanted admiration putting that glint in his eyes?
My phone beeped with a text, and I glared at my brothers once more. They both focused on their laptops again, chuckling like the real jerks they were.
Then I called the number Hawk had sent me—a US number I didn’t know—immediately.
“Who’s this?” The male voice on the other side sounded gruff.
“Hawk told me to call.”
“Gabriele Falcone?”
“Positive. And you are?”
“Craig Donnelly.”
My eyebrows shot up. I hadn’t expected the Irish to be the one who needed something. Especially since I still wasn’t officially established as head of my family yet, and it had only been a couple of days. “Didn’t expect the Irish Mafia out of Boston to be the first to come calling.”
Alessandro and Cristo’s eyes shot to me.
I shrugged—no clue why he would need to reach me this urgently.
Donnelly sighed, never a good sign to have one of the most influential guys in organized crime sigh. “What’s wrong?”
“My daughters and my niece.”
“Daughters?” I silenced my mic. “Alessio,” I barked, “Pull up anything you find about Craig Donnelly’s daughters.”
Alessio looked at me as if I was borderline crazy.
I unmuted my mic. “Tell me what’s going on.”
Alessio was still looking at me as if he had no clue what I wanted.
“Do it,” I mouthed at him, and he nodded.
Finally.
“My daughters and niece were on vacation in Italy when they were kidnapped a week ago.”
“A week ago?”
Donnelly groaned. “We’ve been searching up a storm, but there’s no trace of them.”
“In which part of Italy?”
If they’d been visiting Sicily or down east, I might have to reach out to partner organizations. And I needed to secure my position as the boss of the Falcone clan first to even get anyone to listen to me.
“They were last seen in a nightclub in Verona.”
Verona. Even though situated in northern Italy was a stronghold of our organization and my family, maybe we were in luck.
“Anything else you can tell me?”
