Reba held out her hand, and RJ handed it over. “Do you…believe me?”

A beat, then, “Of course I do. And don’t worry. Everything will get straightened out.”

RJ let out her breath but looked at York. “We have one more problem.”

Reba set down the wine on the table.

“My boss, Sophia Randall, was found dead in the Renaissance Hotel. By…me.”

“And me,” York said.

Reba folded her arms. “Oh my.”

“My mother was there too,” RJ said.

“What?” Tate said.

Wyatt echoed him. “When?”

“This morning—I got a text from York saying to meet him at the hotel. And when I did—I found her body on the bed. Her throat had been slit.”

Wyatt looked at York. Only the fact that he knew York had been on the plane with Sarai and Mikka kept him from advancing on him.

Not Tate. “What the—what’s going on?”

York took a breath but didn’t move.

“Hold up, Tate. He didn’t do it,” Wyatt said. “He wasn’t even here.”

Tate stopped and looked at Wyatt. “How do you know?”

“He was on a plane with…with my son.” Not exactly how he wanted to share that epic information, but—

“You have ason?” Tate said in the tone Wyatt had expected. “Since when?”

“I’ll explain later. But he’s sick and he needed a medical escort from Russia, so York and this American doc brought him over.”

“From Russia? And where were you?” Tate asked.

“I was with Coco. On a cargo plane. Long story.”

“Shorten it for the crowd,” Tate said. “So…you found Coco.”

He nodded. “But not before I was attacked in my hotel room by the man we think is trying to kill RJ.”

“Damien Gustov,” York said. “He’s a known associate of the Bratva, and we think he’s the one who tried to kill General Stanislov. And the one who shot Coco last month.”

“Who is Coco?” Reba asked.

“Our sister,” RJ said.

“Foster sister,” Tate amended. “She came to live with us when her mother died.”

“She returned to Russia five years ago because…well, she was pregnant. And her father is…” Wyatt blew out a breath. “Her father is Boris Stanislov.”

Reba sat and reached for her glass. “The plot thickens.”

“She was sent to America to hide from Boris’s opposition and is still in hiding.”
