"I love you, but please leave. Right now. I don't want you to get hurt."
"Nothing hurts more than this." He lets me go and moves to the door.
With one hop, he's outside, down the fire escape, and safe. I let out a long breath it felt like I was holding that entire time.
Donnie walks out of the closet and I glare at him. "Is all that true? Did Dad kill Renzo's father and our own mother?"
"Of course not. He's a pig. He's a good liar. He needs to back the fuck off or dad's gonna ice him."
"Dad does that? He ices people? He's in the Mafia?"
"Are you really that stupid, Mila?" He cocks a knee and tucks his gun into his jacket pocket.
"I'm not stupid. I trusted you. I trusted my dad. My "family." I really didn't know."
"Yeah? Well you don't know nothing now either. So keep your mouth shut and stay away from that fucking cop."
He stomps out the door and down the stairs. I hear the front door slam.
I grab my phone and text Foster.
Me: I'm so sorry. Meet me at your apartment. We'll talk there.
He doesn't respond.
My dad isn't home.
I grab my keys and my purse and race down to my car.
I'm at Sky Tower within fifteen minutes. I bang on Foster's door.
It feels empty and there's no answer.
Me: I'm here. Open the door.
Unknown: Failed to send.
Me: I'm at your apartment.
Unknown: Failed to send.
I send ten more messages. They all fail to go through.
Oh my God. I have no way to get in touch with him.
Chapter 21 Evidence
Six weeks. Six weeks and I can't find Foster. His phone is off. Nothing comes through on mine. His apartment is empty with no sign of Henry. He just disappeared and left me behind.
Donnie and I haven't talked about it again. My dad has continued business as usual, not mentioning Foster or Renzo to me.
I'm sure now Foster wasn't a cop.
He wasn't out to get my dad.
Because the police would've been here by now or Foster would still be here working the case.
Donnie never produced a badge or proof Foster was looking into us.
