Chapter 91

• Nikolai waited for Alvin for almost two hours in the local bar he usually frequented with his lady friends. Alvin, the man known for having all kinds of sensitive information about the underworld, the man who might give Nik something to work with so he could do something to protect Ana before time ran out. Nik needed to know whom Madam Volkova had hired to take down Anastasia. It was the only way.
• But there was no sign of Alvin or any of his girlfriends for the past two hours. When it came to women, the man had a peculiar taste. He liked the bad girls, the ones who were trouble and nothing but trouble. But he guessed it was also a part of the reason Alvin was so good at gathering information. Everyone loved to talk when they were drunk. Add a stunning woman in the mix who could promise to make you forget everything, and you might let out some information you weren’t supposed to.
• Nik had to admit that Alvin was very smart with what he chose to do, and it was working. It had always worked, and it was one of the reasons he was respected in his circle.
