Every employee.
Every guard.
One man had arrived under diplomatic credentials.
He called himself Martin Hale.
Emma pointed at his photo.
“Sad man.”
I froze.
“How do you know?”
“He had the same eyes.”
Damiano studied the photograph.
It was Vivienne's father.
Lucas Carver.
The man had entered the estate under a false identity.
And he was carrying another remote.
We found him in the west wing.
He escaped.
The chase began.
Damiano caught him near the underground garage.
Lucas confessed.
He wanted Damiano dead.
He wanted the dons dead.
And he wanted the city at war.

“Your daughter.”
He pointed toward Emma.
“She's the key.”
Damiano froze.
“What?”
Lucas smiled.
“The little girl's father left something.”
My stomach dropped.

She whispered:
“My daddy?”
I stared.
Emma's biological father had supposedly died before she was born.
Or so I had believed.

Lucas knew his name.
And he claimed the man's death was a lie.
