“Of course,” Annika says, reaching for her laptop.
“I need to transfer this file to my system,” I inform her, already tapping the keys on her computer. “I can find out who he is by running the face through some software and a database I have.”
My hands fly over the keyboard, and then I reach into my bag for my laptop and get to work again, fingers flying.
When the screen simply says Searching… for what feels like a fucking year, I want to punch my hand through a wall.
But, finally, an image and bio appear on the screen.
“Boris Nicolov, fifty-eight. Bulgarian. Last known address is in New York. Looks like I’m going to the east coast.”
I stand, and Rocco joins me. “Maybe you should do some more digging before you head off on a wild goose chase.”
I push my brother against the wall and get up in his face.
“Get the fuck out of my way.”
“Hey.” His hands come up in surrender. “I’m not in your way. I’m just, you know, trying to be the voice of reason.”
“Either you’ll help me, or I’ll do this without you.”
“You know we’ll help,” Nadia says.
“I’ll inform the Sergi family that we’ll be on their turf for this,” Carmine adds, referencing another mafia family. No one just shows up on another family’s turf. You always let them know in advance.
“I didn’t even think of that,” I mutter and rub my hand down my face. “Thanks. Let’s do this.”
“Keep me posted,” Annika says as she hurries behind us to the door. “I guess I could have shown you all of this while you were still in Seattle.”
“It’s better in person,” I reply and then reach back to squeeze her hand. “And this way, we’re closer to New York than we were a few hours ago.”
She offers me a watery smile, and Nadia, Carmine, and I all hurry back to the car.
Rocco hangs back to say something to Annika that has her tearing up again, then he jumps in the car with us, and we’re off to the airfield.
“What did you say to her?” I ask quietly.
“It doesn’t matter.”
