Arturo Piazza was a shark, the kind of low-level criminal that had a way of conning almost anyone out of money. A fast talker, his suave actions and well-dressed appearance allowed him entrance into some of the finest locations in Europe. He’d been unfortunate enough to try his bullshit during the time I’d spent in the South of France, even living under a false identity in his effort to keep from being found.

Unfortunately for Arturo, he learned very quickly that fucking with me hadn’t been in his best interest. However, when I’d intervened, saving his life from some assholes who discovered his con, he’d been forced to accept that he owed me favors from time to time, although I rarely collected.

What I did appreciate about him was that given his extensive travels and observation skills, he knew every player and their business practices. I decided to offer him a chance of a lifetime.

One that he dared not refuse.

As I walked into the small bar, one that he’d chosen, I didn’t notice him right away. When I did, I had to laugh. With his now shocking red hair and rugged attire, the change in his appearance was remarkable.

Which meant he was running from someone intent on ending his life.

Arturo jumped as I sat down at the table with a hard thud, hissing when he recognized me. “Jesus, dude. Enough to give me a heartache,” he said under his breath.

“Interesting look.”

“Yeah, well, kind of necessary. I was surprised to get your call, especially with your upcoming wedding and all.” He lifted whatever drink he’d decided to have at two in the afternoon, sucking down a good third. When he wiped his mouth, I lifted a single eyebrow.

“Do you want me to buy you a drink?”

“This isn’t a social visit, Arturo.”

“Yeah, I didn’t think so. What do you need?”

“You’ve heard of Michael O’Sullivan?”

His eyes opened wide. He scanned the bar before leaning forward. “The asshole out of New York?”

“The very one.”

“Yeah. He’s bad news no matter who you’re asking. Why?”

“I have my reasons.” I pulled an envelope from my pocket, sliding it across the table.

He took a deep breath before pulling it forward and opening the flap. After a few seconds, he jerked his head in my direction. “What the hell is this?”

“Half of your payment as well as a plane ticket for a trip I need you to take.”

“To fucking New York?” When I didn’t answer right away, he shook his head. “You want info on Mr. O’Sullivan.”

“I do. I need to know everything about him. His schedule. The restaurants and bars he frequents. His family life. Every detail about him and his soldiers. Pay close attention to the name of Finian.” While Cassis trusted the man, too many events were far too coincidental.

“The guy have a last name?”

“Likely.” I was determined to keep my answers short. The less information he knew about why the better.

“Jesus, dude. That means I’ll need to get real close and I don’t like Irish scum.”

I was the one who leaned over the table this time.
