At the sound of men yelling, Félix, Rémy, Nicholas, and I all look to see what the commotion is.
“What the hell?” Nicholas mutters, narrowing his gaze. “Why are three of Marco’s men chasing a woman?”
Good question.
Marco is one of the drug dealers in the area. I remember him from Félix telling me about him. He’s trying to make a name for himself now that Richie was killed.
“Get the fuck back here, you little bitch,” one of the men shouts.
The woman looks back behind her and doesn’t see where she’s going. When she does look forward again, we all get a good look at her face right before she plows into Nicholas.
“I . . . I . . . so sorry,” she murmurs frantically and goes around him, taking off again before any of us can stop her.
“Did you see that?” Madelaine asks apprehensively.
“She looked just like you, Madelaine,” Olivia mutters. “I thought you said you were an only child.”
“I did. I am. At least I think I am.”
Whoever that woman was, it’s going to be interesting to find out what comes of this. There’s no way Félix isn’t going to get to the bottom of why Marco’s men are chasing a woman who looks so much like his wife.
One way or another, this isn’t going to be good for those who were after the woman.
