Eric Crown and Sophie Lanzo were surprised, Tony must have called the people who sent him when he started running away.
" Eric".. Sophie whispered her face pale. " Tony was on a call when he died."
"You shouldn't have stayed hidden, little Sophie."
Sophie's blood ran cold.
That voice. She knew that voice. She had heard it at dinner tables. At birthdays. It had laughed with her brother.
Eric's eyes snapped to the phone. He didn't hang up.
"Who is this?" he demanded.
A low chuckle came through the speaker.
"Eric Crown. Always the hero. Put the phone down and walk away. This is family business. It has nothing to do with you."
Eric looked at Sophie. Her hands were shaking, but her eyes were locked on the phone.
Sophie slowly leaned down, her voice barely a whisper but filled with venom.
"Who are you?"
