The phone call came at night. One of those nights when Daniel Nieto
didn’t sleep, when heat clung to the air, sending moisture dripping down his
spine under the shirt he wore. On a night so dark, only the sporadic spark of
fireflies dotted the blackness where he sat outside on the porch while his
memories died slowly inside the Greek-style house.
The small burner phone he’d placed on his right thigh vibrated, making
his skin tingle, breaking the monotony of silence for a few unwelcomed
seconds. The amount of people with the number didn’t even total five. But
there was a certain number one could call, should they want to reach him.
The woman who’d answer would redirect to whatever burner Daniel had at
the time, but only if she deemed the caller worthy.
Apparently this caller passed the test.
“¿Bueno?” He listened, head tilted back, eyes closed as she spoke only
the impending caller’s name. Curiosity made him tell her, “Put him
through.”
She didn’t say goodbye, all he heard was a soft click indicating the call
had transferred.
“Tek,” he greeted the man on the other end with a familiarity he was
relieved to not have to fake. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”
“You wanted to know who’d killed your wife.”
His eyes flew open, stomach clenching as he lurched forward. Any
mention of his wife sent him reeling. He’d known the identity of his wife’s
killer from day one, but sometimes ignorance had its advantages. He kept
up with the pretense now, despite the sudden pressure in his jaw as he
gritted his teeth.
“You know.”
“I do.”
Daniel liked to observe people. How else would he be able to discern
their weaknesses? He knew his caller, not personally, but enough. Not once
had he anticipated this phone call. He knew the name Tek was about to
hand him, but instead of enlightening his caller, Daniel bade him, “Tell
me.”
“Stavros Konstantinou.”
Beatific smile bared to the quiet night surrounding him, Daniel stretched
out his legs. “You don’t say.” Knowing what he did about Tek and the man
whose name he just dropped, Daniel had to wonder why the sudden
betrayal. It didn’t make a difference, but for someone like him, any kind of
information was a weapon to be used.
“I can give you everything you need to know, and where you can find
him.”
The rage in Daniel’s gut—his constant companion these past few years
—simmered nice and hot, but he laughed at the offer. “Where’s the fun in
that, mi amigo?” Before, all of it was business.
Now?
Pure pleasure.
The only way he got any nowadays.
“Whatever floats your boat.”
