"I just landed at JFK. I'm in my car and on my way to your house right now."
That would explain why he didn't answer his phone when I called him last time. "Yes, sir."
I hoped he remembered I didn't have a ready guestroom. Maybe I could throw something together before he got here or have Delancy recommend a good hotel.
"I'll see you when you get here, sir."
Hopefully it wouldn't take more than an hour.
After hanging up with Marcus, I directed my men to lock Hernandez up somewhere he couldn't escape from. I also wanted these four men to continue to guard him until Marcus arrived.
Hernandez would not get away on my watch.
"Hugo, have someone make up one of the guestrooms as best as you can. We might be having a guest." He was here to either help me or hurt me. I wouldn't know until he arrived.
Being a mobster was so dramatic.
Chapter Twenty
~ Delancy ~
I was a man on a mission, much like I was sure Alejandro was. Only my mission didn't require blood and violence. It just needed my laptop and a really good internet connection.
I brought up a live chat window and called Jazz and Osaka because I had no idea where my cell phone was. It had disappeared somewhere between the foray when Dante had been shot and when I got shoved into the safe room.
It was probably in the cushions of the couch.
"Do you know what time it is?" Jazz asked.
"I do," I easily replied. "But this is an emergency."
"Everything with you is an emergency."
"I think this definitely classifies as an emergency. Someone tried to kill me and Alejandro."
"What?" Jazz and Osaka both asked at the same time.
I gave them a quick rundown of the day's events, including every little detail I could think of. The details mattered, especially to Jazz and Osaka. They might see something I overlooked.
"I need to know everything on Dante and Roberto Díaz. Dante is the one that tried to shoot me and Roberto is his grandfather. I also need to know if Martinez is still at the hotel by the airport."
"Our latest report says he is," Jazz said.
"I want eyes on him, not just a report. He has to be working with Alejandro's grandfather so hack his phone and computer. I want to know who he is talking to."
"What are you going to be doing?" Osaka asked.
"I'm hacking into the cameras in the area. I need to make sure this ass hat that shot out the windows came alone. If he was with someone, they could just be waiting to hit us again."
I glanced up at Jake and Miles to see how closely they were watching me. Unfortunately, both men were staring right at me.
Oh well.
"I'm also going to get into the police arrest records and make sure they hold Dante without bail. I want him to stay right where he is until we figure out who is behind all of this."
Jake's eyebrows lifted. "You can do that?"
I smirked and wiggled my eyebrows. "I can do that."
