“Something I can do for you, Mengele?” See, I’ve come to know when I’m dealing with the mad scientist as opposed to Catalina, my daughter. My daughter crawls into my lap and bats her lashes at me when she wants shit. Mengele gives me that smile when she’s plotting world dominance.
“So, we’ve got the new information.”
“What new information?” She couldn’t possibly know. I only just got off the phone with the kid.
“You know what information. The last piece of the puzzle. You’ve found the girl.”
“Mengele, what did you do?”
I know she doesn’t have this room bugged because I’d already found and discarded all of her little spying devices. Unless that asshole Russo had come up with something my equipment couldn’t detect, which didn’t seem possible. Her idiot dog hadn’t been in here either, so…
“What do you mean, Daddy?” I had to think back on my conversation with Ryder and came to one conclusion.
“Mengele, where is that girl? Janie.”
“The uncles didn’t tell you? Yippee.” She clapped her hands and then held them over her head like a champ.
She was excited that she’d gotten one over on me. She’s running shit now, and my men are at her beck and call. I know how her mind works. “There’s a nunnery in Switzerland with your name on it, kid.” She didn’t seem the least bit fazed. Not that I would let her out of my sight; who knows what dafuq she’d get up to without me there to rein her in.
“I’m so scared, Daddy. Anyway, gotta go.” What dafuq is wrong with my kid? It’s sunny outside; there’s a beach, a forest, anything and everything a kid her age could want in the amusement park-sized playground her Uncle Hank had insisted on, but she wants to meddle in this shit.
The doctor she had trapped here was halfway to dead, and I guess she was done with him because she hadn’t been back there torturing him since my return. I’m not even sure what she plans to do with him, and I want no part of it. Let Mancini deal with her shit. I know if she finds some way to kill him where she’s not technically responsible, I’m moving off this bitch.
The other two popped the empty bottles from their mouths at about the same time and grinned up at me. “You remember your old man, don’t you.” My biggest fear when I’m away from my babies when they’re this age is that they won’t remember me. Kat knows it, and that’s why she gives me extra quality time with them when I come back.
She knows that I know she knows, but I’ll be fucked if I’m going out like that. I like spending time with them as much as she does, but I’m not dealing with that damn Tyler and his bitch made comments.
I heard the men’s footsteps approaching and put my boys down on the floor to run around. These two are worse than Lorde’s girl’s goat when they get up to their shit. Other people’s kids teethe on rubber and shit; Kat’s early grave plans like to chew on wood. I looked up as Hank walked through the door ahead of the others.
“Mancini, what dafuq is my kid up to, and how much of a mind fuck is it gonna be for me?”
Chapter 96
*Lyon*
“Why don’t you look and see for yourself.” Mancini sauntered into the room and nodded to Tyler and Zak, who came in behind him.
“She let you in?” I probably shouldn’t have been this excited; it was embarrassing.
“She let me in. This is her first Op, so she wants us to see her skills.” Mengele had put blinders in her lab. At any given time, you can pull it up, think you’re live, and then realize that you’d heard the same conversation before, which means it’s a recording.
Tyler tapped some keys, and Disturbs: The Sound of Silence was the first thing we heard when the screen in the kids’ lab came into view. One entire wall was covered with the video of the song in black and white. Shit looked like a horror movie waiting to happen.
“Well, shit, she’s in one of those moods.” We watched as Mengele reentered the room and hopped her little ass up on her stool. The two cohorts were busy at work when she walked in. Nia, the little hacker freak, swiveled around on her stool while Lily kept tapping away at the keyboard.
“The message has been sent…” Nia started to speak, but Mengele pulled some stunt that she thought I wouldn’t catch. “What was that? Did she just shush her with a hand movement? What hand movement was that? Do we have another angle in that room?” My kid thinks she’s going to outsmart me. Hah! I run this shit.
“Sorry, Lyon, she only allowed me the one camera.” Mancini, this schmuck, “We were lucky to get even that. Don’t look at me like that.”
