Chapter Four
Victor
Arriving at one of the bars downtown, Ivan and I stepped into the back.The men knew who I was, and there was no hassle.We made our way to the private room, where Ivan had asked me to arrange a meeting with Rage.Again, I was in the dark.Ivan would only divulge what he thought was absolutely necessary.Rage was dressed in a suit, and it looked so fucking odd on him.
“Ivan,” he said.“Victor.”
I shook his hand.
“Congratulations on the wedding,” Rage said.
Ivan chuckled.“I’d be careful on the congratulations if I were you.He doesn’t seem to be ...happy about it.”
Rage nodded.
“Why the fuck are we here?”I asked.
“You don’t know?”Rage asked.
Clearly, I was the only one in the fucking dark here, and it was starting to piss me off as to why Ivan wanted to keep me that way.Rage shared a look with Ivan, who had gone to stand in the corner.
“It’s to do with your new father-in-law,” Rage said.
I was fast losing interest.I had not spoken to Harris.All the arrangements had been made through Ivan.Harris paid for the wedding.The deal was connected to the Volkov Bratva.I didn’t make waves.Quite simply, it was not my place.
“Are you aware of The Grid?”Rage asked.
“Is this going to be Twenty Questions?”I asked.
“The Grid”
“Is known for being a group of men who hunt men and woman, sell them on the black market for sex, for anything.Slavery, harvesting organs.Anything and anything,” I said.
“Did you know that Harris Harris is a buyer of The Grid?”Rage asked.
Okay, now this I did not know.
“Your point?”I asked.Anyone who was anyone ordered from The Grid.I was not one of those people, as we all knew Ivan Volkov did not allow that kind of shit.I turned to him.“What’s going on?”
“Three days ago, a woman matching Freya Abdulov’s description was placed on The Grid,” Ivan said.
This got my attention as I looked to Ivan then to Rage.“Did Harris request her?”
“No,” Rage said.“He is the one that put her up for sale.”
