The audacity of Marco to try me was nothing compared to the nerve that detective had. I hated being caught off guard, but I had mastered the art of keeping my face void of emotion.
Luca exchanged a look with me one that told me he understood just how serious things were getting.
The entire New York police force was under my control, along with several key politicians. My wealth funded their projects, paid for their silence, bought their loyalty.
But this new detective? He wasn’t tamed. He didn’t play by the rules, and that made him dangerous. He couldn’t touch me directly, not yet, but he could stir trouble. Especially if word got out that my father had once been a snitch.
I too wasn't sure how true this was and it was starting to annoy me. I hated having missing information.
