Chapter One Hundred Ninety-One

The weekend seemed to fly by. We spent most of Saturday finding information about the area of the docks where the warehouse was located. Andy had given us the exact location, so we were looking at the surrounding buildings to see what our options. were. It takes time to track down who owns what building and what that building was used for when it was occupied. If we were going to move into one of the buildings, it needed to be for a believable excuse.

The guys spent most of Sunday morning trying to calm Sephie’s nerves about the following morning’s plan for Mike. She was still okay with the plan, but she was still worried about it. Giana had asked Sephie if she wanted to go to lunch with Ms. Jackson on Sunday over a week ago. I sent Viktor, Misha, and Stephen with her. Armando sent Mike and Keith with Giana.

When Sephie got back, she was ready for the following morning. “Yep, I feel good about kicking his a ss now,” she said as she walked back into the penthouse with Viktor, Misha, and Stephen. They were all laughing.

Ivan and Andrei had been with me, still trying to find more information on the buildings at the docks. We all looked expectantly at Sephie as she walked in and sat down next to me on the couch. Her cheeks were slightly flushed. I couldn’t tell if it was because it was colder outside or if she was angry.

“Did something happen, solnishko?” I asked as she sat next to me on the couch. She exhaled loudly. I could see her frustration clearly on her face.

“You know it’s bad when Ms. Jackson says he’s not allowed at Bingo,” Misha said, laughing.

Viktor, still laughing, said, “he’s going to need that extra training. He might’ve embellished on his experience level.”

Sephie looked at Stephen. “King Turd,” she said, laughing. Stephen just nodded, laughing with her.

“I thought they did an okay job getting Andy?” I asked, somewhat confused.

He was laughing when he said it. He’s made it clear that he’s fascinated by you, but he has too much respect for me to try anything. And besides, you’ve seen Trino. You could snap him in two without breaking a sweat. He’s the last person you need to be worried about.” I wrapped my arms around her tighter, pulling her closer to me, trying to keep the shaking from getting worse. I felt her sigh and her body relax as I held her. I kissed her forehead. “Come, I’ll make you breakfast. You need
