My phone rang.

I pulled it out, saw the screen, placed the device against my ear, and smiled. “I was just thinking of you.”

Valentina watched me and raised her eyebrows.

On the other line, King David laughed. “I hope it was good thoughts.”

“It was thoughts of appreciation.”

“Then, you miss me already?”

I gazed at Tisha and then Valentina. “You have no idea.”

“I heard there were problems at the witch’s property.”

I quirked my brows. “Who told you?”

“Baba.”

I rolled my eyes. “Surely, it was a vision since she headed out of there with the kids.”

“Yes. It was a vision.”

“When I returned to the hotel, I was told that she had taken men, the wet nurses, Emilio, and Paolo out to the Audubon Zoo.”

“Perhaps, because it is a world-class zoo.”

“She did it because she was avoiding me.”

“That too.”

“Talk to her, so that when we have our moment to converse it is a pleasant one.”

“I can do that.”

“Any information on Paolo’s monster?”

“That was why I called. I have one lead. Have you ever heard of a man named Gennadiy Leonidovich Belyaev?”

“I have not.”

“What we know is that he is a disgraced former police officer who was thrown off the force and then began later helping the Brotherhood.”

“And now?”

“Missing.”

“But he is involved with this threat to Paolo?”

“I believe so.”

“Stay on it.” I frowned. “And the Butler?”

In front of me, Rafael leaned to the side, surely spying on my phone conversation.

Tension rode David’s voice. “I have him under control.”

“Remember. All you need to do is ask. It would just be one bullet, David.”
