not even noticing when he yanks his arm from my grasp. “Derrick hasn’t been home in –”
    “Bitch, you need to back the fuck off me,” he says, his face distorted in annoyance. “I didn’t call you back because I didn’t want to fuckin’ talk to you.” He glances back at the two guys he came in with, shaking his head in disgust. The two men eye us both, tension crowding the room in an instant.
    I stare at him is shock. “ What did you just say to me?”
    “Bitch, you heard me. I know why you fuckin’ called. I just don’t care. Now if you don’t mind, I’m here to get a coffee and then me and the boys got shit to do.”
    I grasp the front of his shirt and yank his body to mine. “You listen here you little shit. It wasn’t so long ago that I used to wipe the SpagettiO’s off your chin because your mother was too drunk to feed you. You remember that, Tommy?” I motion to the guys behind him and lower my voice. “You want to be tough in front of your boys, that’s your deal. But I swear to God, if you don’t tell me what happened to my brother, I will rip your balls off with my bare hands and use them to flavour your coffee. You hear me?”
    He stares down at me as I speak, the anger in his face replaced with sadness for just a flash and then it’s gone. After a moment, he yanks himself out of my grasp and shakes his head. “Yeah I hear ya, Gabby. But if you were smart, you’d just let it go. Your brother got what was coming to him. It’s done now. Don’t get yourself involved. Do you hear me ?”
    I stare back at him, my eyes wide. What does that mean? Before I even get a chance to ask, Tommy shakes his head and walks out of the coffee shop, his buddies right on his heels and the barista is calling my name.
    I don’t even approach the counter. My head spinning, I head for home, Tommy’s words playing over and over in my head. Your brother got what was coming to him. It’s done now. What the fuck did he mean? Tears cloud my vision as I close the door to my house. Pressing my back against it, I sink to the floor, wracked with harsh, gasping sobs.

    My phone rings from an unknown number just as I’m finishing up my paperwork. “Hello?”
    “Lawson?”
    I don’t recognize the gruff voice. “Yeah.”
    “Gunner Monroe.” My body freezes. What the fuck would Gunner have to say to me?
    “What can I help you with Mr. Monroe?”
    “Well, Officer Lawson –”
    “Sergeant. It’s Sergeant Lawson.”
    He chuckles. “Okay. Sergeant Lawson… I couldn’t help but notice that you were sitting on my daughter’s doorstep when I dropped her off earlier. Are house calls a service that all city cops offer?”
    I grit my teeth. “What’s your point Monroe?”
    “Bosco also informed me that she came running out of your place this very morning. Is that true?”
    I sigh. “That’s none of your business.”
    An angry silence fills the line. “That’s my daughter, Lawson. I’d say that makes it my business.”
    “Well, sir, I disagree. I met Gabby yesterday and I bet you that I already know her a hell of a lot better than you do. Now if you don’t mind getting to the point, I have work to do.”
    “Fuck you, Lawson. You’re lucky your sister is family, or I’d have fucked you over months ago. Stay out of our shit and we won’t have any problems. That also means stay the fuck away from my daughter.” My jaw hardens at his tone. “Gabby and Derrick are family, and the Kings will find my son. We take care of our own.”
    I snort. “Yeah. Sounds like you’ve done a great job when it comes to your kids. Look… the Kings are already being watched. I tell you that as a brother, scared for his sister, not a cop to a criminal. Let the cops do their jobs Monroe, and keep your boys out of trouble.”
    I disconnect the call without waiting for a response. I’m just stuffing it back into my pocket when it rings again.
    “Hello?” I drawl, sure that it’s Gunner calling to get
