The phone went back into his pocket.
Dread twisted in my heart. I didn’t know why Max thought I would let him fight his own battles, when he had been helping me fight mine all my life.
Time for me to put my nosey ass into this situation.
I stepped back from the railing. “Lemon.”
“Yes, Emily?”
“I need you to contact the Butcher again and have him get Louis to hack Max’s phone.”
“Oh. . .Max’s phone?”
“Yes. I want to know who keeps calling him and why he won’t answer.”
Lemon widened her eyes. “I can do that.”
“Also, see if Louis will tell me what happened in Italy. He was there with Max and Boris. And if Louis doesn’t say shit, then get some of our people down in Italy to figure that shit out. I need to know.”
“I will work on that now.” Lemon nodded and headed off.
Enough with this bullshit.
My own phone vibrated.
I took it out and checked the screen.
It’s about time you called me back.
I cradled the phone against my ear. “What the hell is going on?”
Baba’s voice remained calm. “How are you, Emily?”
“Are we not going to address the fact that you sped out of here with the kids?”
“The driver maintained a safe speed.”
I rolled my eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me about Delphine going into Paolo’s dreams?”
“Because I would rather you work with her, instead of trying to kill her the moment you met her.”
I frowned.
“Also, I wasn’t sure, until I saw Paolo’s reaction to her.”
“But you did know Paolo should not go in the garden?”
“I did.”
“Then, why not warn Kaz and me?”
“Because you both needed to learn the lesson on your own.”
“And what is the lesson?”
“Never get too comfortable with Delphine. Be on guard.”
“But do you think she can help me?”
