Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession Clancy
POV: ELI"I smell a rat," Eli said.Roman was already thinking it. He started dialing before Eli finished the sentence.Jimmy picked up on the second ring. "Already on it." His voice was tight. "The real Clancy Burgess died two years ago in Iraq. Someone scrubbed the record of his death and built a clean identity over the top. I only caught it when I ran facial recognition through my contact in Quantico." A pause. "There's more. He had an account in Philadelphia. Two million euros, deposited two days ago through a chain of shadow accounts bouncing from Switzerland to the Middle East. The principal account traces back to Monaco." Another pause, shorter. "Deposit was made by one C. Warlow."Roman went still across from Eli.Caroline Warlow.Michael's mother. Eli had put her son in a cell so she had arranged for Brigail to go into one.Eli looked at Roman for a long moment. Roman held the look without flinching, which took some discipline because they both knew that Roman had hired Clanc
Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession Return Trip
POV: ELIThey never left the plane.Eli gave the order before the wheels stopped rolling. The pilots had the good sense not to argue. They requested an immediate refuel and Eli got back on the phone."Someone is trying to frame Jerry," Pam said. Her voice was clipped and methodical, which meant she was frightened and refusing to show it. "When it didn't work they went after Brigail. Anonymous tip. Burnham's running the arrest personally. Jimmy's working his contact in the Department. The DA's pushing for a speedy trial.""She will not drag Jerry into this," Eli said. "She's stubborn enough to take the fall for him on her own."Silence."I know," Pam said."Did you call the Mayor?""Cataliades came in shortly after we arrived. But Burnham put out a press release before anyone could contain it. Morning news already has the story. With the press involved, the Mayor could only buy us time by delaying the arraignment. It was the best we were going to get."Russell. This was Russell's archi
Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession Executive Decision
POV: BRIGAILPam arrived in a firefighter's uniform with four people behind her and a clean-up kit that suggested this was not the first time she had dealt with something like this.She gave Brigail a once-over. "You okay?"Brigail nodded."Good." Pam turned and began issuing instructions.Jake and Pam worked quietly, efficiently, without discussion. The crew moved through the dressing room with latex gloves and industrial solvents. Rodney admitted he'd started the fire in the women's bathroom by tampering with a hand dryer circuit. Controlled. Just enough to trigger evacuation."The weapon's not here," Jake told Pam after a sweep."Then we have no choice." Pam looked at Brigail. Not at Jake. At Brigail.Brigail understood what she was being asked.She thought about Longshadow's family, if he had one. She thought about her father. She thought about the justice she had spent years imagining for him, and how different it looked in practice from how it looked in her head.She looked at J
Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession Eighteen Hours Earlier
POV: BRIGAILIt started like any ordinary day.She was on the floor of her old bedroom wrestling with the pull-tab of her suitcase when Pam appeared in the doorway."Let me help.""I can do it."Pam tried anyway. Brigail turned and glared. Pam sat on the edge of the bed and studied the floral quilt instead."For the record," Pam said, "I tried to stop him."Brigail said nothing."It's okay to cry.""I'm not mad," Brigail said, still working at the zipper. "I'm disappointed." She sat back on her heels. "He keeps saying we're a team. Then something goes wrong and I'm the last to know. He casts me aside like I can't handle it.""You're his asset, Brigail.""That's just it, Pam. I don't need a hero. My dad tried to be a hero. Look where that got him." She pressed her wrist to her eye. Just once, quickly. "Every time Eli races off to fix something for me I get this knot in my stomach. What if that was the last time I'd see him?"Pam was quiet for a moment. Then she sat down on the floor be
Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession Empty
POV: BRIGAILShe reached for him before she opened her eyes.Empty.She sat up. The room held the particular stillness of a place that had recently had a person in it and didn't anymore.Under the bedside lamp were two playing cards. The Ace of Spades on top of the King of Hearts. Under the cards, a folded sheet of white paper.Brigail,Don't be mad. I'm leaving for Macau today. Another jet will be waiting for you and Jerry at Louis Armstrong. It will take you back to Vegas.Hold the fort while I'm gone. I won't be long.You were right. Something was wrong. Something I need to fix.But I will fix it. And when I get back, we'll take that trip. No guards, I swear. Just you and me.How's Uganda sound? (You smiled, didn't you?)I love you.EliShe didn't smile.POV: ELI"You have to tell her," Pam said."I can't. Not until I know exactly what happened."Pam sat across from him in the private jet with her elbow on the armrest and the particular expression she wore when she was choosing her
Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession What Godric Kept
POV: ELIGodric had told him once, on his deathbed: I've done godawful things. My only regret is that I won't live long enough to pay for all of them.Eli had not understood it then.He understood it now.He spread the three pages across the kitchen table and read the provenance of the Scarface chip from the beginning.Johnny Torrio, Chicago, 1939. Al Capone's mentor. Held the chip until he died in a barber's chair of cardiac arrest.New York. Chicago. Then Meyer Lansky in Las Vegas, co-owner of the Flamingo. After Bugsy Siegel's death in '47, Lansky held two chips simultaneously. When Lansky died in '83 neck-deep in debt, his daughter held an underground auction in Reno. A young businessman from Mississippi purchased both chips for an undisclosed sum. He was twenty-eight years old and already owned three casinos. Two assassination attempts followed. One took his wife. One left a scar on his left shoulder.Russell Edgington. Who had two chips and needed one more to hold the trinity.T
