“Right,” Loren said. “Which is the reason I worry they’ll turn on us.”
“They won’t,” Dean said.
“And if they do, you fucking shoot them,” I said, irritated. “Do we know where Sofia is?”
“I thought about her as soon as you told me about Aanya. If my dad wants to hit Lenora where it hurts, he’ll strike there,” Dom said. “As far as I know, she’s safe. If we can get some of O’Conner’s people, we can have Mattia watch her.”
“Send Tony. Mattia’s still a little green,” I said. “He’s still learning.”
Gio took a deep breath. “Fuck it. I vote yes on the Irish invasion.”
“I vote yes,” Dean said.
Lorenzo looked at the two of them and shook his head. “Fine. If shit goes sideways, though. . .”
“We’ll kill them all.” I smiled as I looked through my contact list until I found his number.
“Marchetti,” Harry said as he answered. “Are you calling to offer me a free year in your new lounge?”
“If that’s what it takes.”
“Uh-oh.” He chuckled. “I heard my little brother helped you out today.”
“He’s a good kid,” I said. “Brave. That’s rare these days.”
“Tell me about it.” He sighed. “So, what can I do for you?”
“I’m going to put you on speakerphone,” I said.
“Ah, the whole gang is there, then?” He asked. “Must be important if you’re calling me.”
I put him on speaker phone, shot Lorenzo a look that I hoped he understood as “SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DON’T INTERRUPT,” and told Harry the plan. He listened quietly, only interrupting to ask what church, how many people, and what we would do about the women, children, and innocent bystanders. When I finished talking, I took a deep breath and waited.
“God damn,” he breathed. “Giuseppe fucking De Luca.”
“Yep.”
“Dominic,” he said, “Is Dominic there?”
“Yeah, I’m here.”
“You gonna be okay popping your dad?”
“Well, Harry, I just found out he had my mother murdered, so I think the world will make do without him.”
“Fuck.” Harry was quiet for a moment. “We’ll need to meet beforehand to coordinate. We can’t go in there blind.”
“I agree.”
“Russo, how do you feel about it?” Harry asked.
“I think it’s solid.”
“The important question is, what do you think?” I asked, staring at the screen.
“I think I want to be on the right side of history,” he said. “Let’s take the fucker down.”
