“Earlier you said we are heading to New Orleans.”
“I did. My lovely fiancé is adamant that I will not leave her again for a long period of time, and I agree.”
“So, I’ll get to meet Eden?”
His voice held an edge. “As long as there are no safety issues around you.”
“And. . .my god daughter?”
He let out a long sigh. “Yes. My princess will be with us.”
“And what are you going to do to help us—”
“Not help, Emily. Fix. Tomorrow night, I am meeting the heads of all three pissed off parties, and I am going to fix this.”
Kaz stopped at the corner, glanced over his shoulder, and gazed in my direction. Even far away, I could hear the loud, “Mysh!”
I shook my head and continued down the block. “How are you going to fix this, J.P.?”
“I plan to tell them that I will now step in as the new broker.”
I frowned. “Broker for the heart?”
“Yes. What else would I do?”
“Fuck that, and fuck that fat, rich piece of shit for needing it—”
“Emily, I have just explained in great detail how Kazimir messed this up and—”
“First of all, it was an accident. Secondly, the heart came from a dead Haitian migrant who just had a dream for a better life.” I picked up my pace. “You think that now we’re going to help this rich guy get another heart? I would rather you just join us, and we unite in killing everyone—”
“Couple convergence—”
“What the hell is that?”
“It is a term that refers to the phenomenon where couples grow more alike over time in their behaviors, attitudes, and even physical appearance—”
“So, you’re saying I’m acting like Kaz?”
“Yes, so let me remind you of two things.”
“And what is that?”
“Paolo and Emilio.”
I pursed my lips.
“You are going to heal yourself in New Orleans and fight a war on three fronts? If you are that confident, then I can have my staff take our luggage off the plane.”
“There’s got to be another way besides killing people for their hearts.”
“Denying the bankster a heart will not stop the organ black market from continuing. It is a billion-dollar global industry.”
I gritted my teeth.
“And let me remind you of something else, Emily.”
“What?”
