“Tomorrow night, she’ll be at the shelter. It’s the best place you’ll be able to see her,” Baldy tells me.
I glance at Beppe, and he smirks as he steps forward, pushing into their space. The two of them scurry backwards toward the wall. “You tell anyone we were here or what we’re looking for, you’ll pay. Do you understand?”
The two of them nod, their eyes wide, fear seeping into them. They’re scared and they should be. Neither Beppe nor I are going to take them betraying us lying down.
“You had better hope she’s at the shelter tomorrow,” I say with enough menace that they begin to tremble. “If she’s not, I’m coming back to find you.”
“Markus and Paulie, we know who you are, and we also know who your woman, Ursula, is too. You’d best remember that,” Beppe says with a wicked grin. That was some information Harvey gave us so that we could use it if needed.
“She’ll be there. She always goes once a week. She’ll be with two other women. They’ve promised to meet us there tomorrow.”
I nod. “If not, I’ll be seeing you soon,” I tell them as I turn my back and walk away from the abandoned lot.
“You think she’ll be there?” Beppe asks once we’re walking back to the car.
I nod. “I know she will be.” There’s no fucking way they’d let us down. Hell, if it came to it, I’d say they’d get her there one way or another. They’re scared, afraid for their lives, and people like that will do anything to ensure they save their own hides, and those two assholes are going to do just that.
“Then tomorrow, you and Elio will find her.”
I nod. “And then we can get our revenge.”
His grin is just as mine is. It’s filled with triumph and is on the sadistic side.
We’re not men who will do the right thing. We’re no knight in shining armor. We’re people’s worst fucking nightmares. We’ll do whatever it fucking takes to get what we want, and we don’t care who we kill to do it.
Tomorrow, Teagan’s time is up. She’s got one day before we’re coming for her.

DARIO
“You ready for this?” I ask Elio, unable to keep the glee from my voice. I rub my hands together, ready to get into the action. We’ve been sitting in this car for the past hour and thirty minutes. I can feel the energy simmering beneath the surface. It’s been a long time coming. Not to mention, there’s been no action in a fucking long time. I’m beyond bored. Having something to do helps my trigger finger.
“The sooner I have her, the better,” he tells me as he once again looks at the picture in his hands. The picture is grainy, but even so, you can tell how beautiful the woman is. Teagan Mitchell is a looker for sure. The guys last night weren't wrong. Elio’s a lucky bastard.
I scan the street, watching and waiting. I’m like a predator, ready to pounce. A brunette woman walks toward the shelter, her head held high and her strides purposeful. She’s fucking gorgeous. There’s something about her that is familiar to me, but I can’t put my finger on how I know the woman. Before I can even think about where it is I may know her from, Teagan steps into view.
“Oh, here we go,” I say. I’m shocked when the gorgeous brunette stops and starts talking to Teagan. Are they friends?
Elio nods and we exit the car. It’s time to get this over and done with. Both women are extremely in tune with their surroundings. They’re aware that we’re here and walking toward them. Smart women.
“Teagan Mitchell?” Elio asks, his voice casual. He’s trying not to scare her.
I watch as the woman narrows her eyes. “What’s it to you?” Christ, she’s got some balls.
“Just want to talk, sweetheart,” I say softly and flash her a smile, one that usually disarms the ladies.
“Firstly, I’m not your sweetheart,” she says as she crosses her arms over her chest. “Secondly,” she sighs, “I don’t know you, and I’m not in the mood for talking.”
The gorgeous woman beside her places her hands on her hips and taps her foot. “We’re in a rush, so if you don’t mind.” Christ, that velvety voice is sexy as hell. My cock jumps at it, and I suddenly want to know a fucking lot more about her.
“I forgot to introduce myself,” Elio says coldly, and both women’s spines straighten. “Elio Gallo, and this is my brother, Dario.”
Teagan’s face pales. “What do you want?” she questions.
Elio tells her friend to go, and after a few seconds, she walks toward the wall and stands there waiting. I don’t hesitate to follow her. “Where do I know you from?” I ask.
Her big brown eyes are beautiful. They’ve got specks of gold in them. They’re captivating even when she’s not looking at me. “Your dreams, honey, ‘cause that’s the only place I’ll be.”
