She smiles. “You’re welcome. You know I’m good at taking the edge off.”

“I know and I love you for it,” I say.

“I love you too, Xander,” she returns.

“I’ll talk to you soon,” I tell her before ending the video.

Tossing the phone back on the nightstand, I get up and go back into the bathroom to clean myself up. Once finished and in a new pair of briefs, I climb into bed and fall into a deep, relaxed dreaming of Sabre wearing my shirt with no panties on.

I wake up around seven to someone banging on my door. Cursing as I get out of bed, I throw on my robe and slippers. Pushing my hair out of my eyes, as I trudge my way down the hall to see who the hell it is. I groan as I look through the peephole and see Alistair’s big ass brown eye staring back at me.

“Open the door, sleeping beauty,” he shouts.Why is his ass up so fucking early?

Unlocking the door, I open it. “What do you want, psycho? It’s too early for your shit.”

He brushes past me, going towards the living room, carrying two brown bags.

“Well, come on in,” I huff, closing the door, then following him.

Alistair sits on the couch, placing the bags on the table.

“I got coffee and donuts sent up from downstairs,” he says, emptying the bags.

I shake my head. “Let me go get cleaned up.”

“Alright,” he responds, taking the lid off of one of the cups, then ripping open sugar packets.

I leave him, going back to my bedroom. After emptying my bladder, brushing my teeth, then washing my face and hands, I put on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt still wondering why Alistair is here at the ass crack of dawn.

Finding him in the same spot on the couch, holding the cup of coffee, and a half eaten donut on a napkin on the table, I pick up the other cup, then go to the garbage can near the kitchen.

“Why are you here so early?” I question, taking the lid off, then disposing of it.

“I’m just trying to see where your head is at this morning,” he replies, taking a sip from his cup.

Going back over to the table, I place the cup on it, then sit on the other end of the couch.

Picking up two sugar packets and a creamer, I tell him, “Shit, what do you mean? Nothing has changed since last night. I’m out for retribution! That motherfucker has to pay for what he has done, not only to Sabre, but to you and our family. Nobody fucks with my family and lives to talk about it. Ask Trent or Andre, oh yeah you can’t because you and Zar killed their asses. Santiago is no different.”

I rip the packets open, dump the contents into the cup, then put them in the bag.

Alistair puts his cup on the table. “That’s what I wanted to hear. Like you said, nobody fucks with our family and the retribution you are looking for, I’m going to make damn sure you get it. We are family, the Kourakos, the Andino’s...we are family and I’m tired of motherfuckers fucking with our family. First it was Trent, then Andre, now this asshole. I know enemies come in our line of business but enough is enough! After this, I want pricks to think long and hard before coming for our family.”

“Believe me, they will,” I promise, then sip some of the warm beverage.

“Alright, well that’s all I wanted,” Alistair says, standing. “Zar wants us at his condo at nine, so I’ll see you there.” He picks up his cup. “Oh, I left you a donut in the other bag. I bought four, but since your ass took so long getting dolled up, I ate the other three.” He laughs with his greedy ass.

“Gee, thanks,” I quip, rolling my eyes.

“Hey, at least I left you one. Oh, and Zar sent Hendrix and Frankie to his house earlier to bring Beast back. They should be back any minute now,” he chuckles, heading for the door. “Nine o’clock and don’t be late.”

“Yeah, yeah,” I throw back, as I laugh at my crazy little brother.

At nine o’clock, everyone’s at Zar’s condo. It’s game time and we’re all ready to take down the Cartel. Two boxes sit in the middle of the living room floor, courtesy of Tech. When Hendrix and Frankie returned with Beast, the boxes were waiting downstairs and they brought them up. Zar wanted to wait until we were all here, then video call Tech, so he could explain to us the contents.

This time, I brought my secured laptop with me. Going to the private video call icon, I connect with Tech.

“Good morning, fellows,” he greets.
