You don’t adhere to our rules the way you once did. I understand it was what allowed you to survive. I’ll overlook it in this instance, because you have no male here in the family to protect you. But remember your place, and learn to hold your tongue. You have my blessing to live apart from the family for now. There’s a lot going on and you’re a major key. I want you safe and out of everyone’s reach. You will stay in contact, using burner phones, and constantly be moving. I will personally oversee our pest control problem in Texas. And I promise you this… Either your brother or I will contact you when the extermination has been completed.”
I want to hang all my hopes on this man with his smooth voice, weathered skin, and commanding presence. He was once my grandfather’s most trusted ally. Regardless of the emotions I have swirling around inside me like a tide pool, I know this is the best I’m going to get. Alienating myself would be putting a gun to my head. I’m no good to anyone that way. “Thank you, Giancarlo,” I mouth the words.
“Go with your young man, stay hidden, stay safe and smart. That’s how you lasted this long.” There’s a wealth of knowledge in his eyes.
There are more things going on here than I know about. I think maybe, he wants me away? That frightens me.
“Francesco, get her everything she’ll need,” Giancarlo instructs.
His son stands and heads to the front of the building, disappearing from view.
“Anyone here have a problem with this plan?” he asks out of courtesy.
I gauge the responses as everyone glances around and shakes their head. A chorus of no’s rise up and fill the room.
Francesco returns with a sheet of paper.
“Come with me. I will explain everything and see you out,” Giancarlo says. He stands and everyone else follows suits.
I can see the narrowed gazes and feel the stirrings of envy. Everyone wants to be noticed and favored. We walk toward the back exit and he pauses. “On that sheet of paper, you’ll find all my contact information. I want you to keep in touch daily with a burner phone. A new one every day.”
I may be a fool, but I trust this man. More so than my own flesh and blood sitting in that room. “How will I know about my brother?”
“I will call your young man. You’ve given no one your number have you?”
Prophet shakes his head. His flesh looks tight around his lips and forehead. He’s pissed.
“Here…put the number in under Priest, they’ll never question that I would have him on speed dial.”
We make the exchange and he ushers us out of the building.
I’m numb as we walk back to our car. Silently, I pray for my brother’s well-being.
“You know, if I didn’t know better, I’d say he wanted you to get the hell out of there,” Prophet muses.
“He did,” I agree.
“Why?”
“That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? We need to get our things from the hotel and move. I feel…unsafe.”
He narrows his eyes. “You want peace of mind? We ditch the suits, cars, and uppity shit, then go out on the road on the back of a bike, staying in lower class motels, hotels, and even on the road if we need to. A tent and two bedrolls are all we really need. Being cut off from civilization would probably be a good thing about now.”
His words make sense.
We pause outside the car. “You know some place like that all the way out here?” I ask skeptically.
“No, but I know someone who will, and no offense, but I’d much rather trust them with my life. They’re our sister chapter and have nothing to gain by screwing us over. To them, you’re just the girl I’ll be traveling with. Let’s keep it that way. They don’t need to know why I’m hiding, just that I need to.”
I wrinkle my nose. The last thing I want to do is be trapped with him for longer than I have to. However, annoyed beats dead any day.
I’m being a bitch.
Guilt hits for about a millisecond. He’s made it clear I’m not his
