along. So it seems.
I have a proposition for you. Interested?
Perhaps. Santino studied Ally. She made her
way to the small dressing table. She stooped down,
gripped the flat surface, and kicked away her high
heels. She carefully removed her watch and earrings
too and he took in the shapely legs of one delicious
woman.
I ll let you cash in on the woman if you ll lead
me to her children, Carlton stated flatly, startling
Santino who had, for at least a moment, lost sight of
his objectives.
Ally s bracelet dropped to the carpet.
Her children? Santino never raised his voice.
There are two of them, twin girls.
I haven t heard the price.

It s enough. Much like the prize you ll collect for
the woman, only a little sweeter this time because I
can earn a quick five million more for their father
dead, of course.
And you want me to lead you to them?
Mezerati chuckled. I believe you re slipping, my
friend. From what I ve observed, you re going to keep
the woman for yourself. I ll make your life easier.
She ll come to you without the baggage and reins of
toddlers.
Who wants them?
You know I m not giving up that information.
I ll pay for it.
It s not for sale.
Much to Santino s surprise, Ally didn t cry.
Instead, her expression hardened. Her eyes glazed
over with pure ice and all that was left behind was a
hatred so strong and pure, only a mother ready to
protect her endangered children would recognize it
and relate in every way.
It s a deal.
Santino read Ally s face when he said the three
little words. She didn t flinch and it was then he
realized Ally truly trusted him, but was it enough to
help them through the days ahead? He hoped so. God,
how he hoped so.
Meet me where you last saw me. Two hours. Be
there. Immediately, the call disconnected and just
as quickly, Ally started pulling out guns and
ammunition.
She fought with gun clips one minute and
reloaded a sniper rifle the next. Ally?
Don t say a word, she snapped.
Ally, you re going to have to trust me here.
She turned around and swung her arm in his
direction, clutching a Glock. Tears streamed down
her face. You think I don t trust you? she screamed.
Do you realize that if I thought for one minute you
were going to help a man kidnap my girls that I would

release a round of bullets into your body without one
inch of remorse?
Put the gun down, Ally. Maybe he
overestimated her trust.
Her arm started shaking profusely. Ally, honey,
this is nonsense. What are you doing?
She eyed the gun. I don t know! she wailed,
tossing the gun. Santino, I can t do this. She buried
her face in her hands and shook her head. I can t do
any of this by myself anymore.
Oh honey, he said, pulling her from the floor.
You re not alone in this. I promise you. I ll never
leave you alone as long as those hits are out on your
life or the lives of your daughters.
She resisted him then, trying her best to wriggle
from his embrace.
Ally, let me hold you. He coddled her like a
treasured doll, stroking her back and hair with true
tenderness.
I m going to kill him, she said softly against his
shirt. You can meet him, but I m going to kill him.
And then the next one will come, and the one
after him. Soon an army of men will search for them.
No, Ally. You have to understand, there s not an open
mark on their heads. Only one man is searching for
your daughters, and he s one of the best. Our only
chance to find out who sent him is to leave him alive
and wait. Let s see who contacts him and find out
what he knows.
Ally rested her head on his shoulder. I can t lose
them, Santino. I ve already missed out on so much.
I know, he whispered. Why don t you call
Dorsey and let him know what we ve discovered. Let
me place a few calls and see what I can find out and
then I ll meet Mezerati.
I ll go with you.
No, what you re going to do is stay right here
and guard yourself with as much awareness as you d
protect someone in witness protection. The ache in
his gut reminded him it was his job to protect her,
