I knew it was a mistake before I left the building.
I had been sitting with the footage from Rem's message for three days. Elias Castro meeting with the Rossi family boss eleven days before he sent me a message.
The logical conclusion was clear, I had accepted it intellectually and something in me had kept pulling anyway.
He looked like my mother in the eyes.

THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Fractured
Ace's PovThe arms deal was supposed to be clean.Nikolai had been building the framework for three weeks and Ivan had vetted the broker twice and Rem had cleared the location four times and it was as clean as anything we had run since the Rossi situation closed.I was in the room because I had asked to be in the room and because Nikolai had looked at me for a long moment and said yes.The broker's name was Osei and he came in with two people and sat at the main table and looked at the three of us without any particular reaction and that was when I knew he was serious."The shipment is in transit," Osei said. "Twelve hours out. I need the final account number and the confirmation code before it crosses the port line."Nikolai slid the confirmation folder across the table. "Account information is on page three. Code is on page
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Sunrise
Ace's PovThe rooftop was cold and the city was just starting to get light at the edges and I stood at the railing and held my mother's letter and read it again.I folded the letter and put it in my jacket pocket.The hit was ordered by their father. They were nineteen. They did not know about me. Those were the facts and I had gone over them six times since coming up here, they had not changed.What Nikolai had done was carry the knowledge of those facts for four months without telling me and that was the part I was sitting with.I heard the roof door.I did not turn around."We said we would give you time," Ivan said, "but you have been up here for two hours and I cannot verify your body temperature from inside."I almost laughed. "I am not cold.""You are visibly cold," he said. "Nikolai would have said the same thing but he sent me because he thought you would be less likely to tell me to go away.""He was right," I said.Ivan came and stood beside me at the railing.Nikolai came
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION The Truth
Nikolai's PovHe walked past both of us.I watched Ace walk into the bedroom, his movements stiff with anger and betrayal. I had to fix this. I had to make him understand. I followed him in, closing the door softly behind me."Ace," I started, my voice rough. "Lie on the bed. Please."He looked at me, his eyes narrowed with suspicion. After a long moment, he complied, stretching out on his back in the center of the king-sized mattress. He didn't look relaxed. He looked like he was waiting for an execution.I crawled onto the bed, hovering over him. I needed to show him everything, not just with words but with my body. I leaned down, my tongue tracing a path from the small mole under his left eye. I felt him flinch slightly but he didn't pull away.My tongue moved down his temple, across his jawline, and down the column of his throat. I cou
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Reckoning
Ivan's PovCastro was in the penthouse when we got there.He was sitting in one of the main chairs with his hands visible and the lights on and he looked at us the way men look when they have already decided how something ends."Nephews," he said.Nikolai said nothing. I said nothing."You were always going to find me," Castro said and leaned forward with his elbows on his knees. "I did not come here to hide. I came here because this is where it ends. The penthouse, the family building, the city your father built." He spread his hands. "It felt appropriate.""You had inside help," Nikolai said. "In the facility.""I did," Castro said. "People are loyal to whoever pays them properly.""We know who it was," I said. "They are already handled."Something moved in Castro's face but he kep
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION All In
Ace's PovThe maps were spread across the main table and I was looking at them like I actually knew what I was doing and the strange part was that I did.Four months ago I would not have been able to read a floor plan. Now I was pointing at entry corridors and telling Rem's guys which angles left the most exposure and they were listening."The east wing access is the problem," I said and tapped the section with two fingers. "Castro knows that building. He spent three years running operations out of the fourth floor so he is going to use what he already knows and go up instead of across."Rem looked at me and then at the map. "You are saying he will take the stairs.""I am saying he will not use any route that Nikolai or Ivan would expect from him because he knows they know him." I kept my finger on the map."So he does the thing that looks
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Clean
Nikolai's PovThe evidence package was detailed.Rem sent it within the hour. The police had video from the secondary building exterior, eyewitness accounts from two Rossi men who had survived the east side breach and identified Ace by description, and a digital trail that connected Ace to the building that had been used as a staging ground.None of it was fabricated. Most of it was accurate. The interpretation being applied to it was wrong.I sat at the desk in the secondary building and went through it and built the counter case.Ivan sat across from me and worked his side of it. He had contacts inside the department that I did not have and he used them carefully over the course of the day.By evening we had the shape of the alternative.A man named Castor Reyes. Midlevel Rossi operator who had been in the area durin
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION No One to Call
Ace's PovOn the eighth day Ivan handed me a phone across the breakfast table."One hour," he said. "Monitored. Do not try anything creative."I looked at it. Basic model. Nothing on it except a calling function. I picked it up and sa

Ivan's PovIt happened at breakfast again.Nikolai was reading something on his phone and Ace reached across the counter for the coffee pot without asking and Nikolai moved his mug out of the way automatically, without looking up, like he had already know
