A black Ford F-150 Raptor came to stop out front, and I stepped from inside as Siobhan got out and Ziad appeared from the other side. He waved the driver off and stepped onto the sidewalk, eyes trained on me as if I were the enemy.
I chuckled and Siobhan frowned.
“You didn’t say your cousin was an O’Sullivan,” he said, looking down at her. “And it definitely didn’t come up when I had your name ran.”
Because she’d used her mother’s maiden name and the fake identity that came with it.
“We can talk about that later,” she told him, tipping her head in my direction. “But I am an O’Sullivan. Siobhan O’Sullivan.”
The point of bringing him here was to tell it in front of me.
His gaze bounced between us, the frown he’d already been wearing deepening.
“Let me get this straight, you lied about who you were and now I’m standing in front of the Irish Mob’s new boss, for what exactly?”
He put a little distance between them, not enough to make it obvious, but I didn’t miss it and from the expression in Siobhan’s eyes neither had she.
“To make sure you understand if anything happens to my cousin under your care, I’ll kill you and not think twice about it.”
“That’s not—”
Ziad took a step toward me, cutting off Siobhan’s retort, and I tipped my head.
“Ain’t no fear in my heart. And I wouldn’t let shit happen to her even though she lied.”
I looked away from him and at the only person who mattered to me in all this.
“Take a walk with me, Von.”
She came without question and we started down the sidewalk.
“You sure this what you want?” I asked. “I’ll handle it for you right now.”
Siobhan punched my arm.
“Stop trying to kill him, Sean. I wouldn’t have brought Ziad here if it wasn’t what I wanted and you know that.”
I draped an arm over her shoulder and glanced back.
“He’s pissed at you…” the laughter came before I could stop it. “You’ll have to do more than bat them eyes at him like you do Tadhg and your da.”
She chuckled.
“I know but it’s fine. I can handle it. Do you approve?”
I scoffed and put her in a headlock.
“Did I have a fucking choice?” I asked, laughing as she managed to get away. “I know how this shit works. You cared enough to bring him here and I care enough to let you be with whoever your heart desires. But be careful, alright?”
She nodded and stepped into my open arms.
“I love you,” I told her, deciding I needed to make my rounds with everybody. “As long as you’re safe, I’m good.”
We separated and she frowned up at me.
“I love you, too. You alright?”
I nodded.
