Fell for My Father’s Best Friend
Against me.
“What’s wrong?” I managed, trying not to show how scared I was.
One of them laughed, sharp and low. “Your father’s becoming a problem. If he wants to stay alive in New York, he should stop stepping on our toes.”
“I don’t know anything about his business,” I said, keeping my chin up. “But if you touch me, my father will kill you.”
That made them laugh harder.
“Kill us?” one sneered. “He wouldn’t dare. Your father’s a coward. If it weren’t for a few friends of his we’d rather not upset, he’d already be dead.”
