Cali stared at him.
“I still think you’re an asshole,” Cali concluded.
Remy chuckled. “It’s my best quality,” he joked.
“But, you helped me get Hil back,” Cali conceded, his eyes softening. “So, I’ll help you with this.”
“We both will,” Hil agreed. “It’s time for the rest of us in this family to step up as well. It’s not all up to you. We’re in this together.”
Relief washed over Remy. “Thank you. You don’t know what this means to me. So, any bright ideas?”
I mulled it over, my mind racing with possibilities. “Do you think Armand has anything that could bring him down?”
“Don’t we all?” Remy said with a smirk. Scanning our blank faces, he added, “Wrong crowd. Yes, there’s a high chance Armand has something that could bring him down. What it could be and where we could find it, I have no clue.”
“Don’t all of you mob bosses follow the same playbook,” Cali taunted.
“Sure, but I returned my copy of it to the library. If it wasn’t for those darn late fees…,” Remy replied sarcastically.
“Like I said, asshole,” Cali concluded.
“And like I said, best quality,” Remy teased returning to the man I loved.
“Seriously, do you think he has something we could use against him?” I repeated slowly forming an idea.
“Again, yes. But it’s not like I shadow the man. It could be anything and anywhere. I wouldn’t know where to begin.”
“What if there’s someone who would know?” I asked.
“Eris? There’s no way she’s gonna help me bring down her father. She’s pretty pissed at me right now.”
“What happened?” I asked unable to help myself.
“Let’s just say that I left her at an inopportune time.”
“Why?”
“Because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want it to start immediately,” Remy said gripping my soul.
“Cali, why don’t you ever say things like that to me?” Hil asked his boyfriend.
Cali moaned and looked at Remy. “Asshole.”
“Brother fucker,” he said without missing a beat.
“Okay, you two,” I said ending things before they started. “I’m thinking about Jimmy.”
“The FBI agent?” Remy asked taken aback.
“You’re friends with an FBI agent?” Hil asked confused.
“Oh, not just FBI. He’s in the organized crime division,” Remy explained happy to find someone who could relate.
“You’re friends with an FBI agent who works in organized crime?” Hil said leaving Cali to question me.
“He’s a friend from elementary school. We grew up in the same building. I ran into him when I was looking for a location for Remy’s project,” I tried to explain.
“And then he asked him to be on the board of the community center,” Remy said enjoying this a little too much.
