This visit would be under the guise of paying him respect. The very idea made me want to kill him.
What was an alligator to a fucking lion?
However, for my mouse, I would humble myself. I would swallow down my pride and give the swamp man his gifts and as much respect as I could muster.
I will play by their rules for now.
In the passenger seat, Rafael turned my way. “I must warn you about the Don.”
“Go ahead.”
“He is extremely over the top and constantly trying to show everyone that he is the man with the biggest dick in the room.”
Tisha snorted. “He sounds like a typical gangster to me.”
“Either way,” Rafael shrugged. “I am sure the Don already knew that you landed in Louisiana and had people watching your movements the whole time.”
I frowned.
“I am also certain that the Don knows you are heading this way. Therefore, we will see a lot of theater from him tonight. I ask that you be patient and let the show happen. It will make things easier.”
“As long as the show does not go on for too long and I get the Eye.”
Rafael nodded. “Remember. I will have your back with this situation. My cousin, Jean-Pierre wants continued peace among the Corsican and the Brotherhood. I will not let you or him down.”
Valentina spoke on my right. “And this Alligator Don will definitely have this Eye?”
I nodded. “According to Delphine.”
Rafael jumped into the conversation, “Did my cousin tell you about the Don’s witches?”
“Witches and alligators. This is going to be quite the trip.” Tisha grinned. “Tell us about his witches.”
“They are twins—Genevieve and Evangeline,” Rafael explained. “When the don perceives that he has enemies, he uses them to curse the person. They are super loyal, although we may not see them tonight.”
“Why not?” I asked.
“They live in a renovated church in New Orleans and usually never leave it, unless the Don requests.”
Valentina frowned. “I should have been with you earlier. I am still mad that Maxwell tricked me. Next time I see him, I will punch him in his cock.”
On my left, Tisha chuckled. “If you are Kazimir’s number one, why would you take an order from Maxwell? Orders for you would only come from Kazimir.”
Valentina leaned forward and scowled at him. “Shut the fuck up before I throw you in the swamp and let these alligators feed on you.”
Her threat, no matter how harsh, had no effect on Tisha who only smirked in response. I could feel the undercurrent of tension threatening to spiral out of control.
I cleared my throat. “Stay focused.”
They went silent.
Already I missed King David. Not only would he have had a proper plan to get this Eye, he would also have kept everyone in line and had visuals of my mouse being sent to my phone.
How is she? Please, God let this trip help her.
Every bump in the road jolted through the vehicle and sent vibrations up my arms.
At least the steady hum of the engine was a comforting purr in the otherwise overwhelming silence, a reminder that we were just visitors in this wilderness.
