“Which you will offer, with a deal of your own.” I deadpanned back. 

Ivan grinned back at me. “Yes.”

With a dramatic sigh, I sat on the floor, keeping a protective hand on Randy’s shoulder. “What do you want me to do?”

“Nothing you have no done before. I want you break into Dillan’s system. Transfer funds from Italians. Make look like someone in Dillan’s organization paying bribes to them. Plant evidence on Italian’s side, like they trying forcefully take over Indecent.”

“And where do you want the Italian funds to go?” Like I really had to ask.

“Me of course. Make them think Dillan stealing their money.”

“You’re basically asking me to start a war between Dillan and the Italians.” I needed to be positive here.

He seemed pleased that I caught that. “Yes, exactly. Dillan no equip fight war against Italian mafia. He need help. My help. Which come at price.”

“Why me? Why Randy?”

He shrugged. “Your brother showing up was fate. I need someone who could do all this. Bunny no know your name. But I knew Randy’s face. I knew what you do. I figure you already had… beef with Dillan, so you willing take him down.” He waved towards my unconscious brother. “He just insurance policy.”

“Right.” I pushed myself backward until I was leaning against the wall. “Let’s get started shall we, I have a date tonight. I will need a computer.”

Ivan laughed and snapped his fingers. The silent man took the bag off his shoulders, one I hadn’t noticed before, and brought it to me. 

“Don’t try to do anything sneaky, I will know if you do.”

My smile was sardonic as I looked at him. “What makes you think I’d try anything like that?”

“Do and you are both dead.” He warned. 

I gave him a mocked shiver, as though I was saying I was so scared. He scowled and walked out of the room. The guard from outside pulled a chair in through the open doorway and sat down.

“Neil monitor you. No try anything. You do, I may change mind on which talents of yours I put use.” Ivan winked, then walked out.

I quickly opened the computer, there was no need to log in. Morons. I quickly found their screen recorder, where they would watch everything I was doing. I opened a new tab and kept it secret in a small corner. In that corner, I cast a remote login code and took over my own work laptop. As expected, someone was on it. I reversed things and made it so they could watch me.

Chapter 13

Dillan

Gary, after finally introducing himself, left to go take care of his own business. He expressly demanded I keep him updated. Chris left silently not long after. Linda was sitting at her desk, biting her nails. Me on the other hand, I was pacing a hole in the floor. 

All under the watchful eye of BoBo. 

We both nearly jumped when Jorge started laughing. 

“What? What’s going on?” Linda came running back in.

“I just fell in love, that’s what. This woman, I just don’t know what to do with her.”
