“Could it be someone else from Seattle?” I ask.
“Not from what I hear.” Rinaldo shakes his head slowly. “They’re still arguing with each other over who’s in charge now. It’s chaos.”
“Maybe someone trying to prove they can lead?”
He looks thoughtful for a moment.
“Possibly.”
“I’ll check on it.”
“Check everything. Check everyone. The doctors want me to take it easy for a couple of days. Franklyn’s going to get me transferred to a hospital where he has more privileges.”
I nod. The move to a hospital of our choice will keep him closer to business, and we have people there who can watch out for him. Franklyn has been on Rinaldo’s payroll since before I started, and he is as trustworthy as anyone right now, but I still don’t want to take any chances.
“Someone needs to stay at your side.”
“After I’m transferred, that shouldn’t be a problem.”
“I’ll make sure Paulie sticks around here until you are. I’ll swap out with him after twelve hours if they haven’t moved you yet.”
“Evan...” Rinaldo reaches out and grabs my forearm.
“Yes, sir?”
“You have to find Felisa for me,” Rinaldo says. “With all of this, I’m really worried now.”
“Shouldn’t I focus on what happened today?”
“They may be connected.”
The look in his eye corresponds to a pang in my chest. I don’t regret my actions, but I don’t like seeing him like this, especially not in a
hospital bed. I nod slowly.
“I’ll talk to Jonathan and start right away.”
“The chip coordinates are on my laptop. Start there.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Find Felisa and find out who is responsible for this.”
“I will, sir.”
“And Evan?”
“Yes, sir?”
“Watch Lele for me, too. She’s worried sick, and I don’t need her freaking out on me. Her usual security will be around her, but I want your eyes, too. Just check up on her until I get home. Reassure her. Protect her, too. If someone went after Felisa to get to me, Lele could be next.”
“I’ll do that.”
I close the door softly before turning on my heel and marching down the hall.
“We have a job to do,” I say to Jonathan as soon as I walk up. “Felisa is missing, and Rinaldo thinks whoever set us up might be involved. He said you had a tracking app or something?”
“The GPS chips? Yeah.”
