“Rossi is a dead man,” I state, still reeling from everything Maia revealed.

“I’m coming with you,” Xavier insists as I get to my feet.

“No!” Maia cries.

I shake my head. “Not a good idea. Look after your mother.”

He pauses and grins. “Wait until I tell Cleo about Kinsley.” He laughs and rushes from the room.

“He really is a child sometimes.” Maia pauses. “Bring them home, Beckett. Please.”

I nod and make my way out of the house.

When we reach the driveway, Salem whispers, “At least we now know why Cannon kept his thoughts about Kinsley to himself.”

I take my phone out of my pocket and find multiple messages. The one I reply to is from Prez. I have the manpower. Now I need a location.

I dial.

Aldo Rossi answers.

“What have you done with Kinsley, you bastard!” I snarl.

Salem winces and gestures for me to temper my anger.

“Is that any way to speak to the man who has both the woman you love and her father?”

“What do you want, Rossi?” I hold back what I really want to say.

“Your brother stole from me. I want my drugs. My money. My ledger. I will give Kinsley to you in exchange.”

A growl rumbles up from my chest. “I don’t know where the fuck that shit is.” Drugs, I found. Money and ledger, I don’t know where the fuck to start looking.

“Then you better find it, or your pretty girl won’t look so pretty after Elf has fucked her. He likes it rough. Really rough.”

“I’m going to fucking kill him and you.”

Rossi chuckles. “Oh, you will need to get in line. Kinsley already promised me that after I killed her father.”

The phone goes dead.

Stunned, I repeat the conversation to Salem. “Who did he mean, Jude or Cannon?”

“We know he killed Jude. Kinsley probably knows that too at this point.” He pauses. “Where would Jude hide all that shit?”

“I don’t have a fucking clue, but we need to find it.” I run a hand through my hair. “We need to find out who else he worked with.”

Xavier comes charging out of the house as we climb astride our bikes. “Cleo’s gone. She left a message saying she’s sorry and that she’s gone to get Cannon.”

“Motherfucker!”

KINSLEY

“Brought you some company,”Elf says.

“Oomph,” a woman groans as she lands on the hard floor in the cell across from mine.
