*Elio*
As much as I hated leaving Cat to her own devices, I knew I needed to take this call from Franky. It was imperative that I knew what was going on at all times and clearly his men found something.
I palmed Cat’s face in my hand and brushed my thumb over her cheek lovingly. My stomach flipped as her large, doe eyes poured into me with heavy emotion.
I wished I could take the worry from her regarding the problem with her friend. I made it my job to be optimistic about the whole ordeal, but in all honesty, I truly had no idea which way Anna was going to side with this.
I hit the answer button and held the phone up to my ear.
“What is it?” I asked evenly.
Franky’s sharp tone filled my ear, causing my nerves to freeze over.
“We found him,” he said. “He’s dead.”
