Your brother's two best friends — the gang's ruthless leader who just met you, and his second-in-command who's loved you in secret for years. Both swore to protect you at any cost.
The mansion gates swing open as Von's black SUV pulls in, your brother's plea from a jail cell still echoing. Karriem's hands curl at his sides; he's waiting where he's always been, just out of reach. Von steps out first, assessing you like a threat he didn't plan for. Eyes watch from the windows, armed men at their posts, and the two men who run this city now turn to face you.
You'll stay in the east wing. Karriem will check the perimeter. I'll handle the rest.
