Vince’s POV
I watch Annette sit comfortably in the restaurant; her face tightens with frustration as she keeps pressing on her phone.
She glues the phone to her ears for a moment before dropping it again with rage. Perhaps she is trying to call Tessa.
That is the only person she can call and rant to. She doesn't have any friends other than Tessa—except for Ryan, whom I am sure she won't consider a friend anymore.
Feeling bad for annoying her, I want to step out of the car when my phone begins to ring.
It's Fernando.
I pick up without hesitation, sitting back behind the wheel, my gaze not leaving her figure.
“Vince?” He calls with urgency, making me take my eyes off Ann. “When is the shipment arriving?”
“Is everything okay?” I ask, but he doesn't respond. “Saturday.”
“I think the Albanians are in town. They seem to be working with the Silicones now.” He informs, making my gaze narrow with confusion.
“The Albanians? We got rid of them, didn't we?”
“We thought so. They keep appearing from God knows where. Nadir was seen with Isaac Rossi and I assume they want to get their weapons from him before they attack. Jayden and Hayden were seen with Nadir in two different locations. Dominic is here with me now. We need to act fast, Vince.”
A vein throb in my temple.
“Can we attack tonight?” He demands with humility, and I nod.
“Sure.”He disconnects the call quickly and I turn back to Ann to find her seated with someone.
A man with his back to me is conversing with her. It makes me wonder if he was the one she was trying to call earlier.
I clench my fist on the wheel, watching her and thinking of how to go about the attack tonight.
Planning an unexpected attack isn't the problem. The problem is getting enough information to ensure we achieve our goal.
Our spy has been eliminated, leaving us with little or no choice but to act on our instincts. If Nadir is attacked, Isaac might also be caught tonight.
That leaves her mother in danger. If I don't tell the guys about Ann’s situation and her connection with Carter and her stepfather, her mother might lose her life in his stead.
I am considering letting her be so I can return to the house to finish my work before preparing for tonight.
But I decide to watch her for some more minutes before leaving.
The strange guy rises up, giving me a clear view of Ann’s face and the smile touching her lips. It leaves my heart stuttering in anger.
Did she leave home to come here and get a man’s attention? Does she know I am watching and she is doing this to spite me?
The guy stretches a hand to her, and she takes it. Lowering his head, he pecks the back of her hand before moving away.
Annette looks flustered.
I look away immediately, my eyes flashing with anger. My heart lurches forward just like it did earlier this morning.
Placing a hand on my chest, I gaze down, wondering why I feel this strange jolting and beating of my heart.
Usually, I feel my heart pounding hard whenever I want to hunt. Aside from that, I don't feel anything.
Do I need to see the doctor?
