“I’m good. It’s good to see you.”
I tilt my head and narrow my eyes. She’s nervous. Truthfully, I wasn’t expecting her tonight.
“What brings you here? You know you can always come to the office.”
“This isn’t something I can talk freely about in your office.”
“Okay.” I nod. “Come have a seat.”
She sits and takes a look around, turning up her nose a bit. I grin. I made the same face only moments ago. This place has changed. More guys come for pleasure than favors. They’ve become too comfortable in the Dollhouse—in life in general. Leadership is shit these days in most families.
“What can I do for you, Toni?”
“I need you to find someone for me.”
“Don’t you have access to the FBI database?”
“Again, not something I can do at work or in the open. I need a little finesse on this.”
“You have a name?”
“Yes.” She pulls a piece of paper from her purse and hands it to me.
“Kaden Alderman, do you want him gone once I find him?”
“Please, no. I want to know how he’s doing. Where I can find him.”
“And why can’t you do this?”
“Gio, I’m willing to trade favors. I shouldn’t be looking for this man and my father would explode if he found out what I’m up to.”
I lift a brow. “You’re not about to cause me any trouble, are you?”
“No, not for you. Other than the fact that he might be hard to find.”
“All right, Toni, but I need something from you. I’ll do whatever you need as long as you keep an eye out for anything coming for me or my family. If it crosses your path, I’m the first to know. Is Kaden here worth that?”
She licks her lips. “Yes, I’ll… I’ll let you know if I hear or see anything. Please, Gio, find him for me.”
“You got it, gorgeous.”
Her shoulders sag and she sighs in relief. This guy must really mean something to her. I don’t ask questions. I need this favor that has fallen into my lap. I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
“Where are my manners? Can I get you a drink?”
“No, I think it’s time for me to go. I see a few people who don’t need to see me and don’t want me to see them, if you know what I mean.”
“Got you. I’ll see you around, Toni. I’ll let you know as soon as I find him, but you stay in touch.”
“Good luck. Don’t give up. I know it’s not going to be easy.”
I furrow my brows but say nothing. Essence walks by, swaying her hips, causing me to bare my teeth. The cunt is too stupid to know to stay the fuck away from me.
I look around for Ming and see she’s serving a bottle. When she turns and catches my eye, I nod her over. I wait for her to come to me.
“What’s up, boss?”
“Why is she here? Get her out of my face before I choke her with my bare hands.”
