"Glory!" I called for my husband walking around the house in a rush, my heel click on the black wooden floor as I tried to put my hair in a ponytail making my way to his office. Pushing the dark emerald door with knocking I walked in seeing him typing away fast on the computer looking hyper focus he paused for a second glancing at me before he went back to whatever.

"Did you hear the news?" I asked him feeling a weight sitting on my shoulder; my husband nod his head. "The Cecilio case is open agai-

"I know." He cut me off.

"They have evidence." I said catching his eyes as his typing stop.

"I- ... they have evidence from 9 years ago?" He spoke softly as I walked forward taking the seat across from him.

"Sixty-one racketeering counts that included complicity in fifteen murders." I said remember one of the reports. Glory let out a sigh leaning back in his seat.

"... income tax fraud... they bring that one up too?" He asked and I went to check my on my phone going back to Halston and I text messages.

"Mmm Ruslan Nikiforov twice stood trial for income tax fraud. After the first trial resulted in a hung jury in Saint Petersburg, his second trial, held in, Yoshkar-Ola, in December of 2012. No follow up." I share info while scroll down continue to scan the conversation between my brother and I. "During the trail prosecutor was intent on showing the commission was a criminal enterprise. First commission organized Chekhlomey loansharking territories. Second one ordered the murder of Danilovich family boss Domnin Ivanovich, along with two of his associates." I finished. Glory tap his finger on the desk as we sat in silence; he looks deep in thought meanwhile in my head I'm playing ping pong trying to figure out what we can do as a first step.

Already annoyed that Halston told Ruslan so damn quickly; knowing our older brother will go on a damn rampage. Another rampage won't fix the last.

"Where's Caesar?" He asked out the blue.

"Phone on dnd I was started to blow up his phone when Ruslan was on the phone with you." I said and he hummed.

"What about Laura?" He suggested and I face palm myself.

"Shit Hold on." I went to my contacts looking for her name before pressing the call.

"Relax." Glory mutter and I shift my eyes from the window to his eyes.

"Huh."

"Your right leg shaking; relax we'll be find." He attempted to reassure me. I took in a deep breath and nod stoping my leg as I let out a shaky breath. After the fifth ring the other end click.

"Avery, hi." Laura's voice said happily.

"Hey Laura how's your day going? Oh and happy anniversary." I asked, trying to build up small talk.

"Awe thank you. My day has been amazing so far just came back home from lunch about to watch a movie with Caesar and Loretta. How's your day going?" She asked being polite.
