Nathan smiled. "Helps to have two Lords on our grapevine."
"I've got some fumigating to do at the clubhouse. Call me if you need me," Wolf said as he rose. He kissed Demir before he left.
"Thank you for this information," Vito told Nathan.
"No problem," Nathan said, then looked around Vito's office, out of the large one-way window behind the man, overlooking the empty club below. "This is a nice business venture you have going here."
Vito nodded. "It is and has its benefits."
"Oh, I'm sure. Great for laundering money," Nathan speculated.
"And making money," Vito shot back. "In fact, why don't you enjoy a show before you leave? Demir can take you." He turned to Demir. "While you're there, Demir, gather our newest employee."
"Understood," Demir said, then he gestured for Nathan to follow him.
"Mind if I watch the show you're about to put on first?" Nathan asked.
"Show?" Vito asked, head tilted.
"You dealing with your rat problem. I want to see how the Castiello family handles business... if you don't mind, that is," Nathan said.
"Suit yourself," Vito said.
"I've just got to ask, how skilled are your twins? I mean, they're only twelve?" Zindel asked Nathan.
"What were you doing when you were twelve?" Nathan asked him.
Zindel shrugged. "Jerking off with a finger in my ass."
Vito spit up the liquor he'd been sipping at that very moment, and Nathan just smirked. It was obvious to him that Zindel was the opposite of Ze. Where his big brother was reserved, Zindel was anything but. He was starting to see why the pretty thing had captivated Vito "The Vise" Castiello.
"Jesus, Minx," Vito said as he wiped his mouth with his handkerchief.
"What?" Zindel asked. "You know I don't have a filter."
"Not when you don't want to use it," Vito said.
"You know me so well," Zindel said, then leaned down, kissing the man who owned his heart and soul.
Nathan chuckled. "All right, apart from enjoying your carnal activities, what else were you doing?"
Zindel pursed his pretty lips, then smiled. "Picking pockets."
Nathan nodded. "Cody and David, I've trained them personally since the age of two."
"That's so weird. In the club, kids are allowed to still be kids. Not me, as I've stated, because I grew up on the streets for a while until the Lords took us in, but by that time, I wasn't like normal kids," Zindel said.
"Understandable. But in my family, this is our tradition. My boys have been allowed their playtime, but when it's time to get down to business, they do. Right now, they're probably watching cartoons or playing video games."
"Oh, I see," Zindel said.
"As long as they can eliminate their targets, I don't care how they were raised," Vito said.
"You don't have to worry," Nathan assured him.
The door opened, and everyone turned to see Demir escort a man inside. His pale skin had a pinkish tint, and his straight hair was slicked back. He had an average build but looked toned. Nothing more remarkable about his appearance. Nathan figured that was intentional so that he wouldn't stand out too much.
Nathan knew why the DEA had appointed the man to the club. There was an illegal casino and bordello here. That would be enough to give the Castiellos a lot of trouble. The fact that this place was still functioning meant that their agent hadn't breached those sections yet, so he had no proof to give to the DEA. At least, that's what he assumed.
