“Her name is Lily Waterford, she’s been here for a few years. She’s getting threats through text messages. I have one of my guys looking into it.”
“We have a few really good IT guys back home if you need extra help,” I say to him.
“That would be great. When I started this business, we had everything we needed. But this last year it’s exploded and I haven’t been able to hire more people yet. I appreciate the help.”
“I’ll call home and get some of our guys on board.”
“Here’s all her info, I’ll call her and let her know you’re on your way to her home.”
“So am I there twenty-four-seven?”
“Yes. I have a bad feeling about this one. I’d also like you to check in with me or Mae twice a day. Here’s a phone, ‘1' is for me, ‘2' for Mae. Will all of you be there together?”
I look at the guys and Armando nods at me. I explain to Grayson who my new family is.
“Holy shit. I’ve heard of both families, even down here,” he says as he listens.
“If it gets bad, they won’t hesitate to come as backup.”
“That’s going to take a bit to sink in. Mafia and MC families. Crazy.” He chuckles.
“It took me a while to process it all too. But they’re the best families to be a part of. We’ll head over to Lily now and take a look around.”
“If you need any security cameras let me know. We have kits here that can easily be set up around her home.”
“Maybe we should take it with us. I can get that set up,” Apollo says.
Mae comes in with a few boxes for us.
“Phones for each of you and the security cameras,” she tells us.
“Thank you. I’ll text you when we get everything set up.”
“The cameras will send the video back here to us and it can also be sent to your phones.”
“Perfect.”
We head out to meet Lily Waterford.
“Wouldn’t it be interesting if it was the same Lily from last night?” Eros laughs.
“I thought of that when Grayson said our asset’s name.” I laugh.
The drive to our asset’s house takes about thirty minutes. We look around the property and then go to ring the doorbell.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Lily
I didn’t expect Grayson to get back to me so soon. But he called and said one of his guys is coming to stay with me. His name is Tristan Langford. It’s a little odd after meeting my Tristan last night. Whoa. My Tristan? I don’t even know where that came from. I wish he was mine.
I hear a knock at the front door, I open it…
“Tristan?”
“Lily?”
“I’m pretty sure this is what the mama’s back home would say is fate.” Apollo whispers from behind Tristan.
