It took a little over an hour before Ivan and the other guys came back to Sephie’s room. He had a few sets of stitches in various places, but nothing major. I raised an eyebrow, curious how it went. Misha looked proud of himself. “The recording was enough that the doctor could check him over thoroughly. He didn’t break anything. Just some stitches,” he said.

They had put Sephie in a double room, with strict orders that no one else was to be placed in that room. The doctor was trying to give us an extra bed, since he knew we were all going to stay with her. I appreciated it. Ivan stretched out on the other bed. He looked exhausted. We all looked exhausted. We were quiet for a few minutes, then curiosity got the better of us.

“We know Armando was a part of it, but did you find out about anyone else?” Viktor asked.

“Sal was there the first night. Or first morning. To be honest, I have no idea what day it is. They took my watch, so time was meaningless while we were in that room. How long did it take you guys to find us?” Ivan asked. He had a bit of a grin on his face when he asked, like there was a joke we weren’t privy to that he was thinking about.

“From the time they grabbed you until the time we got to you, it was right around 30 hours,” Viktor said.

Ivan chuckled. “She’s gonna be so mad and so impressed at the same time.” We all looked to him for further explanation. “That was one of her first questions. How long it would take you guys to find us. I said no longer than a day and half. She said three days. She was worried when they found her tracker and pitched it. She didn’t know you’d be able to track us with the earpieces. I may have neglected to tell her that,” he said, his devious grin on his face.

Andrei snapped his fingers and pointed at Ivan. “Rude.”

“You guys heard her at the last. That’s how she was the entire time. Hell, she shot the guy that grabbed her off the bike in the face. She had them all worried anytime they talked to her.” He looked at me. “Did you see her eyes this time?”

her as bait to draw out Boss so he could kill him, but since she’d killed so many of Sal’s men, she was now in his debt. He said there was also the matter of his son and her making him look like a fool. He kept trying to touch her, but she kept moving away from him, even though we were tied to the chairs. He unzipped her shirt and just stared at her boobs for a minute. She asked if it was his first time seeing boobs. He slapped her and told her she had a smart mouth and
