Con felt like shooting a motherfucker.
“What the fuck you mean you didn’t get a clear view of his face?” Con yelled to Yury.
“He never faced the camera directly. We only got a side profile. We know that he’s a white male, about six foot with blonde hair. We were able to get a look at the tag on his vehicle. Louis is looking into that now.”
“I want to know who that bastard is and why he was at Criss’ house.”
“We should know something by tomorrow.”
“I need that shit tonight.”
“Boss, we can’t get it tonight. Louis’ department is already suspicious of him. If he goes to the police station on his day off, they’ll grow even more suspicious. He works tomorrow night. He’ll have the info to you tomorrow night.”
Patience was not one of Con’s strong suits. “I want it ASAP.”
Yury nodded.
“Have you seen Criss tonight?”
“I have not. I talked to Lina earlier and she was on her way to take Criss a drink.”
Con nodded. Seated behind his desk, he brought his glass of bourbon to his lips and sipped. Who the hell was this mystery dude who’d broken into Criss’ house last night? And why hadn’t she reported the bastard to the cops?
“You sure the video footage shows the man holding a gun?”
Yury nodded. Con clutched his glass tightly. He’d known Cristal had some shady shit going on in her life. That’s why he’d placed a surveillance camera on the light post across the street from her house a few weeks ago.
He hoped it’d offer him some insight into what she had going on in her life. This was not what he’d expected. The information he’d gotten from his private investigator, Dean Chambers, had only informed him about her parents’ situation.
Her father had been a king pin. Her mother had been his right-hand man. According to Dean, both had been ruthless. Her mother was murdered by a rival gang. A few weeks later, her dad fled the country right before his name hit the Most Wanted list.
He left his two daughters in the custody of their maternal grandmother. Years later, the older sister died of a drug overdose. Con sighed. Cristal had lived a life almost as terrible as his.
And now, her house was being broken into. Maybe the guy was someone who was looking for her father. Or maybe he was a jealous ex. It didn’t matter. Con wasn’t about to allow more tragedy to strike Criss and her family.
Con slammed his glass down on his desk. “I want to know who this man is. I want to know where he lives, who he lives with, who his parents are, where he works…”
“Boss,” Yury interrupted him. “Are you sure you want to get involved with this? You have your own shit to deal with. Vlad will be here…”
“I can take care of my shit and Criss’ shit too.”
Yury nodded. “May I speak freely?”
“When don’t you speak freely?”
“Boss, I’ve never seen you act like this over an employee. I’ve never seen you act this way over anyone. You seem to be obsessing over Cristal. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why. There are prettier women here. Sexier…”
“Where? Who?”
“There’s…”
“None of them interest me. Even if they did, I wouldn’t fuck with them. I don’t mix business with pleasure.”
“But Criss is…”
“Not on my payroll. And what I do with her is my business.”
