Chapter 45
JULIAN POLE
It's Saturday.
We were studying because exams are next week.
Someone knocked on the door.
Two short raps, then one longer one like a cop.
Luka went to open the door because I was too lazy to move. We weren't expecting anyone, and the way Rico looked up from the couch, you'd think we were about to get raided.
"Who the hell is that?" he asked.
"I don't know." Luka said, heading to the door.
It was a tall man in a dark jacket who looked like he'd walked straight out of a mob movie. Serious face, clean haircut and an energy that screamed don't mess with me.
"Julian Pole?" the man said. His voice was deep and steady.
I froze where I sat. "Yeah?" I said walking to the door Rico followed.
"Package for you. I'm Dominic."
Luka looked at me. Rico looked at Luka. Then they both looked back at me like, what did you order, a bomb?
