Hello, Donna. This is Nadia again. May I speak to Mr. Grenache? Thank you. She rubbed her brow and placed the phone on speaker.
Hello, Mr. Grenache speaking.
Good morning, Mr. Grenache.
Ms. Kerns, how are you feeling?
I am fine. I believe I have something you want.
He paused. Oh, What’s that?
You know what it is. I know everything. If you don’t show up to this address personally to meet me then I’ll turn the flash drive over to the police.
You listen here. You had no right sticking your nose where it didn’t belong. I did your father a favor hiring you. Ex-drug addict, my ass. Are you black mailing me so you can run off and buy drugs?
She clenched her eyes and balled her fist at her side.
Am I right, Ms. Kerns? Yup, I think I’m right.
I grabbed Nadia’s hand, she peered up at me through the tears.
“Wrap it up,” I mouthed.
You either meet me here at noon or I drive to the nearest police station and expose you for the crook you are. You’ll sit in prison for years for money laundering.
You fucking bitch!He roared.
She recited the address and disconnected the call.
Nadia tossed the cell on the counter and ran into the bedroom.
I stalked after her. She sat on the floor in the corner clutching her legs. “I’m so embarrassed.”
“Hey, hey, don’t be.” I sat on the floor across from her and pulled her into my lap.
“Your brother and friend must think I’m trash.”
“I don’t care what they think.” I massaged her wet face. “I know you left that life behind you. There’s no way you would have made it for days without drugs out here in the middle of nowhere.”
She sniffled. “True.”
“I’ll clean you up then we’ll get ready for the fight that is coming our way. There’s no way he’ll show his face. He’s sending Thompson a trained killer. But he won’t be expecting your back up.”
She smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck. “I’m ready for war.”
“Good, now let’s get you cleaned up.”
“Ok.”
