YOU need to return to California. Now.
Rafa frowned as he viewed the text on his phone. If he had to take a guess, he’d say it was from his cousin Enrique. The acid in his stomach burned. Something wasn’t right, and it wasn’t just the suspects he and Genie were after. If Enrique knew he was investigating members of the Snakes, an organization his cousin was still heavily involved in, then who else knew? He trusted his cousin to keep this assignment under wraps, but why the urgency for him to return to California? If his cousin wasn’t so cryptic…
He has no choice, Rafa thought. If anyone knew Enrique was talking to a cop — never mind the fact they were cousins — Enrique would be the one with a snake design on his chest.
“Enrique, you gotta give me more to go on,” Rafa muttered underneath his breath.
“Santiago!”
As he walked into the office, Rafa saw Genie standing in the doorway of the conference room. She signaled him to join her. He thought he’d beat her in today, but here he was just walking into the office and she was already hard at work. It wasn’t even daylight. He couldn’t sleep and apparently, neither could she. Or she was as determined as he to solve this case. “Coming!”
Rafa pressed the delete button on his phone.
“Santiago!”
