Chapter 4 - The Whispered Treason
Dominic watched his girlfriend hide the package, his blood running completely cold. She was planting a dead drop right inside his own home.
He crouched back down next to Rose in the shadows. He didn't look angry; he looked like a predator who had just spotted his prey.
"Did you see who gave her that, Rose?" Dominic whispered softly.
Rose shook her head, her curly hair bouncing. She leaned closer to Dominic, her small hands clutching the skirt of her pink dress. She wanted to tell him the most important part of her spy mission.
"I didn't see him," Rose whispered clearly, her young memory perfectly retaining the terrifying conversation she had overheard earlier near the garden gates. "But I heard her talking on her secret phone in the bushes."
Dominic stopped breathing. "What did she say?"
Rose looked directly into the mafia boss's eyes.
"She said, 'The federal raid is set for Friday. Dominic won't know until it's too late,'" Rose repeated flawlessly.
