Dr. Fields gasps and I wince. I forgot she was here.
“I didn’t hear anything.” She says her eyes wide.
I nod.
“Gio. Can you go get a package for Dr. Fields?”
I pull Sofia into my side.
“Thank you, Dr. Fields. Your loyalty means a great deal to us. This will be one of many payments. Let me know if you need anything at all.”
She nods as Gio comes back and hands her a manila envelope. She doesn’t say another word. She just leaves.
“I’m going to go sit with Iz. I would appreciate if Matt could still come and sit with me.” Mia says from beside me.
“Of course. Gio take her please.”
Sofia steps out of my arms and hugs Mia.
“You tell Iz that I am going to go confront the fucker that did this. I won’t let him get away with it.”
“Do what you have to Sof. We will be here.”
Mia and Gio leave and I am left alone with Sofia.
“Are you sure about this? Once you see this, you can’t ever go back.”
“I’ve seen you kill before, Bash. Hell, I killed a man tonight. I’m not some sensitive, fragile woman. I can handle it.”
She broke down earlier, but I don’t bring that up. Best to keep my mouth shut on this one.
Once Gio comes back, I lead us to the SUV. After a short drive, we arrive at the warehouse.
“When you go in there, you are going to see things you can’t unsee. They will be horrific. Are you sure you still want to come?”
Sofia grabs my hand and squeezes.
“I can handle it. I do.”
I nod and help her out of the car. Once we get to the door, I knock three times then kick two. Minutes later, the door opens.
“What is she doing here?”
Lo’s eyes are wide when he takes in Sofia walking in next to me.
“She wanted to come and I couldn’t quite leave her.”
He looks like he wants to question it, but he doesn’t. He looks to Sofia instead as Gio shuts the door.
“I am really glad you are okay.”
“I’m glad you are okay.” She smiles.
“How is Mia?” He asks as he turns and leads us into the backroom.
“She’s holding up. I know she would appreciate you going to see her when you can. She asked about you.”
“I will, Sof. Trust me, nothing could keep me away.”
