“We will not fight with each other, when we are already surrounded by many—”

“I see Tisha’s face, and he is dead, so make your move, Lion.”

Dear God. His arrival will trigger a shit show. Hurry here, David.

“Tell me this, Misha.” I leaned my head to the side. “Are you now the Lion, and I the Mosquito?”

Misha’s pause was palpable, a moment stretched thin over miles and miles of tension. When he finally spoke, his tone had shifted to cold. “Am I now the Lion? No.”

I relaxed.

“Am I the Mosquito? Not this time.”

I blinked, wondering if he was high.

“Kazimir.” A deadly edge rode his words. “I am the Nightmare.”

Oh God.

“I am the prophecy of our enemies’ destruction. I am the cold tap of their caskets as they close.”

I continued to rub my head.

“When I arrive, do not greet me, do not discuss the weather or ask about my trip, I only want to discuss strategies of bringing death to those who shot Maxwell. I want all paths of war.”

A chill ran down my spine, and I welcomed it.

“Good, Misha.” I lowered my hand and gazed back at my mouse. “Because after what happened today, there is no other option, but war.”

“I am glad you understand. Now for the next item.”

“Which is?”

“Ufuoma is on her way too.”

I sneered. “Why the fuck did you tell her about Maxwell—”

“She already had people watching him. Apparently, that was how many of the cartel members in the back of the club got shot. It was also her people’s car that took Maxwell to the hospital.”

Black Axe is in New Orleans. Why didn’t Tisha or Valentina know this?

I shook my head.

David would have known. I messed up. Never will I allow David to not be at my side again.

“Kazimir, will Ufuoma’s presence be a problem for your mouse?”

“She does not know what happened in Italy.”

“Ufuoma is bringing an army of Black Axe.”

I tightened my grip on the phone. “Anything else, cousin?”

“Hide Tisha.”

The line went dead.

I placed the phone in my pocket, for some reason it felt like a grenade sitting next to my leg, ready to detonate at any minute.
