“Which is?”
“Answering my questions with a question.”
“I do that?”
Sydney chuckled. It was futile to continue pressing her mom for answers. “Do you have the address of the cabin?”
“Of course.” Her mom rattled it off and Sydney texted it to Tank.
135 Summer Lake Road
“Whaddya think of Robby?” Sydney asked.
“It was good to see him. You talked to him more than I did. Aunt Valerie is so proud of his poker achievements.”
“How long is he in town?”
“I don’t know. Were you thinking of getting together with him?”
“Maybe,” Sydney replied.
Knock-knock.
“Come in,” Kathrine said.
The door opened, Tank stood there, his massive body filling the space. “Sorry to interrupt, but I need to take off.”
“Now?” Sydney asked.
The door opened wider, and Gabriel stood beside his brother. It was a glorious sight. Two extremely handsome men dedicated to family and friends, committed to their careers while also hunting down the world’s worst predators.
She loved them both. Gabriel, the brother she’d always wanted. And Tank, the man of her dreams.
“I just got word they’re flying back to Italy,” Gabriel said. “Our plan got moved to tonight.”
To Sydney’s surprise, Gabriel was talking to her mom.
“Why won’t someone tell me what’s going on?” Sydney demanded.
“Teddy—I mean, Tank—is coming with,” Gabriel explained. “We’re gonna grab Greystone.”
“Sydney, can you hang here?” Tank asked.
“I think I’d have more fun with you guys?—”
“No,” Gabriel pushed back. “Not this time.”
“I’ll be back as soon as I can,” Tank said.
Pushing onto her feet, Sydney crossed her arms and glared at both men. “This is some bullshit.”
They laughed.
“Questo è un affare di famiglia,” Gabriel said. “Family business.”
Her mom stood. “Tank, good to see you again. Thank you for keeping Sydney safe.” She shifted to Gabriel. “Watch your sixes, both of you.”
Ohmygod, what is happening?
