BELLADONNA
Bella tossed the file on the serial murders on a table next to her chair and flipped open the autopsy report that Niyah had prepared for the Asian shooter whose body had been abducted from the morgue.
She was looking for any connection that she or Lucas had to the shooter -.
But, when she couldn’t find one, she converted back to the basics.
Who would want either of them dead? Lucas was sure that he’d had no dealings with Asians that had gone bad.
In her entire career, she’d had no dealings with any Asian gangs.
What was the common denominator? What enemy did she and Lucas share and why?
Bella sighed with frustration. They had no common enemies. Maybe it was an enemy of Victor’s. With him running for president and heavily guarded by the Secret Service, were they trying to get to him by hurting his family? And why were all the attackers Asian? There was only one way to find out.
Bella grabbed her cell phone and called the boss. When the call was connected, she spoke. “Hey, Miss Tabatha, we need a family meeting.”
“When?” Tabitha Creed asked.
“As soon as you can get everyone together.”
“Will tomorrow evening be okay? I may not be able to get Victor and Taylor here, but I’m pretty sure I can get the rest.”
Bella smiled, impressed by the power of the matriarch to mobilize the Creed family. “That’ll be perfect. Thanks.”
“No problem, sweetheart.” ?
