.Michael and his group are onto me and what I was going to do.I suspect it’s a matter of time before one of his goons will come here.”“Of course they’re onto you.They were months if not years ago.You just played into their final act of coming out to the city as the new family in town.”“Makes sense.I was an idiot.”“Take a number.We both were.Since my dismissal is all over the news, along with some basic accusations of being dirty, my guess is it leaked about who you are as well.” Tony laughed half-heartedly.“How could they know who I am?”“Two ways.I mentioned your real name to Michael when I saw him and my partner, or the man who once was knows the real you.”“Fuck! What the hell?” Steele snarled.Tony held up his hand.“Up to that point you were nothing but a criminal.”Taking a gulp of his drink, Steele looked away.“You’re right.So what now?”“I think, no I know I was played, but I think I know who the leak is at least one of them.”“You think this is city wide?”“Maybe.” Tony thought about all the information.It was making more and more sense.“Now it’s just figuring out how to take the bastards down.I can tell you now it’s not going to be easy.If they know who you are and who Damon is, then my guess is they’ve got an APB out on you.As for me, they think I’m a dirty cop so…”“So?”Tony shrugged.“They may no longer give a shit about me.Maybe we can use my downfall to get into the organization or at least to get close.”“You don’t know what he’s capable of.You don’t know what Dark Town can and will do.They’re brutal.”“Yeah? So be it.And you don’t know what I’m capable of.I have an idea though if you’re willing to work with me.”“And what exactly do we have to gain by working together?” Steele asked, his eyes narrowing.“Where do you have to go? What now?”Steele laughed.“I have enough money to disappear.”“What, to Miami? Is that what you really want, Steele? You waited how long for either retribution or revenge and you’re just going to walk away? I doubt it like I can’t.” The two men looked at each other.It was Steele who raised his glass.“That’s what I thought.”“So what now?”“Blossom and Wood.Your last heist, right?”Steele remained quiet.“Priceless art.Not that I give a shit.”“You mean human art, don’t you? Or it is something else? Something worse and the payout a hell of a lot more perhaps?” Tony tipped his head back.Steele looked away.“Uh-huh, well I guess it doesn’t really matter.You were going to set a trap, weren’t you?”“Of sorts.”“Always so cagey.Well I want to take the man down in the worst way and not because I give a shirt about Dark Town or my job, but because of the kids he’s…he’s selling off like white trash.” Tony closed his eyes briefly and hid behind his glass.He could swear he could hear her screams.“I hate to think my colleagues are in on this, but if they are I’ll take them down too.”“You know, I did some checking on you as you did on me.”“Yeah, and what did you find out about me?”“That you’re from New Jersey and from what I can tell grew up poor with a single mom after your dad ran off when you were a boy.You and your sister were all your mom had.”Anger boiled within him.Tony gripped the counter with one hand as he fought the shakes building within his body.“My past has nothing to do with this.”“Other than the reason you’re willing to put everything on the line to stop the criminals and why you are drawn to the kink club.No, you’re right.”“You don’t know shit!”“Just like you didn’t about me, but I do get it,” Steele said quietly.Tony closed his eyes, trying to block out the past and the memories, but they’d done nothing but drag him into such Hell all these years.He remained quiet for a few minutes.When he opened his mouth the words seemed to tumble out.“I had nothing as a kind growing up in Jersey.Mom worked her fingers to the bone after my dad left us.I worked odd jobs to make ends meet and one day I met a man, one who seemed to give a shit about me.He lured me into a lifestyle, promising money and so much else.”“And you become lovers.”“Yeah.Sound familiar? I was a stupid kid and naïve in so many ways.I didn’t know what I wanted.I figured I was gay so the lure of having an older man was damn hot for a kid like me.I begged him for a job and he got me one, in this stripper joint.Hell, I didn’t give a shit.I did whatever they wanted me to for damn good money.Was able to take care of my mom for the first time in my life.Was even able to put my sister into private school.It wasn’t a bad period of time.My sister flourished and so did I.”“Then things became different?”Tony honed in on Steele’s voice, surprised how caring he sounded.He hadn’t told anyone the story his entire life, telling himself he’d go to the grave with the horrors, just the way his mother had died of heartbreak.But here he was, talking about the horrors so nonchalantly as if… He took a gulp of his drink and held the glass to his head.“Yeah.The guy, his name was Nick, became demanding and mean [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
