We spent several hours talking things through with Battista. There were so many different players involved that it was going to be difficult to formulate a solid plan for all of them at once. We hadn’t even brought Martin into the picture yet. Or the Mexican cartels.
“I have it on good authority that Niko and Vito are planning on returning to the city in the next two weeks. We don’t have a specific date yet, but the money supply is drying up, so they’re coming back to find out what’s going on with the underbosses and their inability to collect taxes,” Battista said.
Ivan was running his hand over his goatee, as he usually did when he was thinking though a problem. “What if we let them come back to the city to try and collect taxes? The people won’t stand for it. What if we let the people take care of Niko and to for us? They’re a big reason that the underbosses stopped collecting taxes in the first place. Even with knowing what happened to Massimo and Lorenzo, they still likely would’ve kept trying to collect taxes if the people hadn’t fought back.”
“I happen to be very good friends with a very talented arms dealer. He can make sure the people are protected against whatever Niko and Vito decide to try,” Battista
said.
1 felt Sephie starting to make the connections at the same time I did. “If the people of the city take care of Niko, Vito, and whatever underbosses object, then the mayor will need to appear like he’s being tough on crime to keep the favor of the pete,” she said.
“Which will be the perfect opportunity to arrest Dr. Moretti. He can be the reason we connect Sal and Henry,” I said.
“Henry connects the switch-hitting representative,” Ivan said.

“The mayor and the DA look like they’re being very tough on crime and easily get re-elected,” Stephen said.
“Not to mention the new wing on the hospital that’s happening out of all this,” Andre said.
“Okay, so that takes care of everything here quite nicely. What about Ricardo and Sa Sephie asked.
Misha’s eyes went wide. “I know why there were two scenarios for taking care of the bisses. Because we’re using both of them. Niko and Vito are coming here, which is why I could see that outcome. But we go after Ricardo and Sal and take care of then before they have a chance to return to the city.”
Ivan chuckled, pointing to Sephie. “The princess agrees,” he said. They all looked at la, smiling. She looked to me, silently asking what color her eyes had decided
“Purple,” I said, kissing her cheek.
“Oh. Well, then. Italy is once again in my future, apparently,” she said. She looked back at the rest of the guys, asking, “okay, so that takes care of them. Now, what about Martin?”
“I admittedly don’t have as much information on Martin as I do on Ricardo and Sal. What about Trino? Does he still have people that are loyal to him down there?”
Battista asked.
“He does. He’s been keeping an eye on him since he’s been here. He said Martin has dit ties with the Mexican cartels, as well as Sal and Ricardo. Because he never got Giana as payment for whatever was supposed to happen when he came for her, he’s cut them off,” I said.
“How much does Trino know about what else is going on with all of this?” Battista asked.
“Everything,” we all said at once. Battista was surprised by our answer.
“How did he take that?” he asked
“Quite well, actually. He’d already seen a few things. He’d seen my eyes go black, he knew I was able to somehow see things I shouldn’t be able to see. He just didn’t know it wasn’t just me until he got out of Colombia,” Seplie said.
“We’d decided already that one stipulation for his new security team was that they were going to have to be okay with everything weird that is happening, since his last security team had a very big problem with Sephie,” I said.
“We took two of Armando’s guys, the ones that helped us find Seple and Ivan when they were taken, and gave them to Trino. They know everything now too,” Stephen said.
