“Can you send it to me?”

“Already on its way.”

He ended the call and turned around, and Mo was the reason Ty and Thandie’s clothes, no matter what they were stained with, came out of the laundry pristine. The fact that she could hack getting blood stains out of her and Giorgio’s clothes meant Ty and Thandie’s grass and baby food smears were child’s play—literally.

“Thought you said you wanted to torture him?” He glanced at what used to be Spettro, and all the piece of shit needed was a horse to be an iconic character from a Washington Irving novel.

Giorgio nodded. “Da.”

“There’s something else.”

Julien extended his phone, and it was the first time in a long time he found himself looking at the Giorgio Pozza he’d first met all those years ago. The one with little to no humanization and whose name had been spoken as though “Giorgio Pozza” represented a dangerous, mythical figure.

“There are five more guys involved,” he said. “Ari and I found this on one of their systems. I don’t know how they got it, and if they have this, I’m not sure why Omega was still trying to figure out all who were part of Alpha.”

It was an image of Mo and Aleksi taken in California at her defense center when she’d offered a postpartum wellness class, considering she’d been going through the same period with Aleksi. In the photo, Mo held Aleksi braced against her forearms while she touched their foreheads together.

“This will be the most difficult part,” Julien prefaced. “We think it’s connected to Cent—”

Giorgio was already out the door.

“Pozza.” He followed. “Giorgio, we agreed to deal with Lavigne first. After Lavigne, we’ll handle this.”

“When?” Giorgio asked.

“When are we handling it, or when did I find out?”

Giorgio didn’t respond.

“I only recently found out. I haven’t told the rest of the team yet. Only me, Ari, and now you, know. It was like each guy was assigned to us. Spettro was even spying on his own guys. The only person they don’t have anything on is Joel, but they have stuff on Ayesha. Spettro knew who we were. He knew who we all were, but he never mentioned it to Omega.”

Giorgio gripped the axe tighter. Blood dripped from his hair strands onto the grass. Oddly, there was more blood on him than the weapon.

“Theo needs you,” Julien added. “Let’s get Lavigne first.”

Giorgio walked past the car.

Julien didn’t try to stop him, although he somehow knew Giorgio’s body language had given off some semblance of an “okay” or a “da.”

Julien

Babe? Call Gage.

I’ll contact Interpol.

CHAPTER31

Trevor sat up in bed.

Someone had knocked.

No one knocked.

Not here.

“Love,” he kissed his wife’s neck, “cover up. I’ll be right back.”

She grumbled a response and haphazardly covered her naked breasts with the bedspread. They were still at the house in Sweden, but tonight, he’d been unable to go an entire night without her. On other assignments with her across the globe, he’d managed with cold showers and tight grips. With them in the same country, he would have gone feral if she’d had too much work to finish to join him.
