Okay. What?

That broke me out of the haze of surprise–not shock, though. This was Ricardo, after all. Faking his own death wasn’t beyond the realm of things he was capable of. The real question was why.

“I did what you asked,” he said, addressing Ricardo. “Can I have Anastasia now?”

Ricardo’s grin returned in an instant, sharp and unsettling. “Of course, brother. You’ve done marvelously. I’ll handle it from here.”

Jerome nodded in my direction, looking far too pleased with himself, and then strode out of the room.

Finally, I found my voice. “Are you going to explain what the hell is going on here?”
