The light turns green as I dial Eden’s number, and driving out of Brownsville, I listen to the call ring.
“Hey,” she answers.
“I’m heading out of town for business. I don’t know how long it will take.”
“What kind of business?” she asks.
“Cosa Nostra. We’re going after Miguel,” I answer honestly, not wanting to keep her in the dark regarding this side of my life.
Her tone is tense with worry when she asks, “Will it be dangerous?”
“I’ll be fine, Tesoro. You don’t have to worry when I’m taking care of mafia business.”
“Easier said than done,” she mutters. “Will you be able to call me while you’re working?”
“Yes. I’ll check in on you every couple of hours. Don’t worry, and enjoy your pie.”
“Pie?” she mumbles, then her voice pitches as she exclaims, “How did you know I’m having pie?!”
“I’m always watching you,” I chuckle.
“Hmm…I like knowing I have a hot stalker,” she teases me.
Another call beeps, and it has me saying, “I have to go. Love you, Tesoro.”
“Love you too, baby.”
Hearing those words from her has a wide smile stretching over my face.
I end the call and answer the other one. “Dario.”
“Where are you?” Franco asks.
“On my way to the airfield.”
“I can’t join you on this trip, and Damiano’s not answering his goddamn phone. The triplets have the shits. Sam and I are running on zero sleep.”
“I’ll tell him.”
“Thanks. Be careful out there.”
“Okay. Good luck, and I hope the babies feel better soon.”
“From your lips to God’s ears,” he mutters before hanging up.
I try Damiano’s number but it’s engaged.
At another set of traffic lights, I send Esmerelda a text.
Going to Miami for work. Take care of Eden and Bella for me.
The lights change to green, and it takes me another twenty minutes to get to the airfield.
“Thirty minutes, my fucking ass,” I mumble as I stop the R8 near the private jet.
I’m first, and that’s only because I was already driving.
I don’t have to wait long, though. Renzo arrives second with Vincenzo and Fabrizio, then Angelo and Big Ricky.
