“What about the call to the cops regarding the warehouse location?” Maxim asked. “Someone had to have inside knowledge.”
“You think we have another traitor?” he asked.
Maxim shrugged. “Who knew the warehouse location?”
“Too many people.” Regent looked at Victor.
“I’ll make a list,” Victor said in a dark voice.
“It has to be Patrick,” Regent said.
“There’s no evidence he’s even in the city,” Victor said.
Right. But Regent couldn’t shake the feeling that he was.
“And he hasn’t been spotted at Kimmy’s apartment or the club,” Victor added. “When you spoke to her that night at Sexy Sin, she said she hadn’t seen him.”
That didn’t mean she was telling the truth.
Patrick was clever. Regent always knew he would come back.
There was always going to be a showdown.
It was just a matter of when and where.
“I want that club destroyed.”
“What?” Victor looked over at him in shock. Very little shocked his brother.
“I want it destroyed. Burned to the ground. I don’t care how you do it. Gas leak. Explosion. Faulty wiring. Whatever. I want it done.”
“Why?” Jardin asked. “Do you think Santé is doing something behind your back? Do you think he’s helping Patrick?”
“I don’t have any evidence of that. He seems on the up-and-up.”
“Then why?” Maxim asked.
“Do I need to explain? Just arrange it,” he said to Victor.
Maxim wasn’t really involved in the family business. He took care of their legitimate nightclubs.
But Regent trusted him to keep quiet.
Just like he trusted Victor to see that this was done.
“I’ll look into it,” Victor said.
“Good.”
“We should talk about the blackmail note,” Victor said.
Regent nodded. “We need someone to make the drop on Sunday morning. They need to look small, like Jilly.”
Victor frowned.
“You know that Basilien has a girl. She’s similar in size to Jilly,” Maxim said.
“I can’t use Basilien’s girl,” Regent said, surprised Maxim would suggest it.
