“Failsafe for what?” “For everything,” Emilio croaked. “For the families. The Dons. The politicians. Every major player in the underworld. Every dark secret from Rome to New York to Moscow to Beijing. It was all gathered. Catalogued. Stored in one place.” He raised trembling fingers. “In a file. The Confessor file.” My heart pounded. “Where is this file, old man?” I asked tightly. “Where did you stash it?” Emilio smiled faintly. “In him,” he whispered, looking straight at Eli.

Cold rage flooded my veins instantly. Was Benedetto spying on my family? On the table nearby were stacks of documents. Council reports. Financial records. Territory statistics. Illegal transaction logs. Several papers carried secret council seals. Why the hell were these files hidden here? What exactly was Benedetto planning behind my back? I searched every room aggressively.

“You’re playing with fire again.” “I can handle fire.” “I know,” he said. “But fire burns.” I met his eyes. “What do you have for me?” He opened the back of the SUV, revealing a sleek metal case.

Bank transfers. All pointing to one name repeatedly,Ben Carver.

Damnit! I text in the numbers I know, hoping their correct and he hasn't changed it, 36912. The phone opens up and I go to his texts, I take my phone and take a few pictures of his conversations.

SUMMARY I have a secret. I’m in love with my best friend, but I’ve never told her. Sharing feelings is right up there with all-time terrible things.
