In Which He Might Have A New Enemy
Monday — February 11
It took about three days to set up the meeting with Makarov. The man was elusive, not wanting to meet secretly while being asked not to bring his security with him. He had every right to be cautious—not that Gael planned to harm him or anything. That wasn't his intention at all.
Eventually, he agreed to meet privately at a restaurant of his choosing. It was in a small Chinese restaurant with private dining rooms in the Upper East Side.
Gael went there with Savannah, leaving his men to guard Angela in his brownstone and bringing only Rio with him. Rick was still recovering, and he wanted Trigger to be in charge of Angela's security while he was away. To say that she was okay with him being out with Savannah was a lie. She frowned when she found out who he would be with, but she didn't say anything else—she didn't have to, though. He knew she was still wary about Savannah.
