He walked into one of the vans and the car sped away.
All the men came after me. It was only then I noticed Matteo with some men with a gun in his hand as well.
I started running into a dark alley. If they wanted to fight I don’t want to attract attention.
When we got there Matteo spoke up.
“You have nowhere to go. Surrender or die.” I smirked and waited for their attack.
I took out a rope and twerked it in two mens eyes. Another five came and me and a did a triple cartwheel and kicked three in the face. I strangled one man with a rope and swung him so he landed on his face. I landed some more moves until I knocked them all out.
Just me and you Matteo. He was a really skilled fighter. He blocked two hits and kicks. I strangled him with my legs and his head in between them. He spun me around and threw me down but I was able to regain my balance. I got up again and threw a punch then a kick to his stomach and then placed a speaker on his shirt as well as a tracker.
I threw one last punch and left. I saw a motorcycle and sped off before the others could catch up.
I didn’t really get much with it because someone might have placed a tracker on it and I am not trying to blow up my cover.
I walked by foot to Lorenzo’s mansion.
“Hi honey.”
“Hey Aunty Gia. Is Lorenzo around?”
“Yes dear, he’s in his study.”
While walking, I put on the earpiece. I barged in and came face to face with Alex.
“Hey sweetheart.” he planted a kiss at the side of my lips.
“Hey” I give him a big hug. “How are you? I barely get to talk to you.”
“You know how it is. Work work work and a little more work.” I chuckle at his lack of humor.
“At least, you look good. You’re not going through any stress are you?”
“Young lady, you have no right to speak at all. Look at you. You’re so much skinnier than before. Of course you look good but you need to eat more okay. Forget about Lorenzo, focus on yourself okay.” I almost started crying. It’s not everyday you find someone who cares for you.
I was about to respond before Lorenzo walked in. He eyed both of us and proceeded to take a seat.
“What do you have for me?”
“Well, even though ‘The Lion’ is the strongest mafia in the world, everybody needs somebody like -”
“Which means” he cuts me off. I placed my lip into a thin line. Ok.
“Which means that Dante is also working with a group of people. I threw a picture on his table. They’re called ‘The Wolf’ . They have different operations all over the country and the world but they don’t operate like mafias because they are mobs. They have operations in Seattle, New York, California, Texas and even here in Washington. Noone knows about them because they live in underground houses. I tracked their location using a gun I found on one of their men. One of their hideouts is underground, the bar in U street. Of course they won’t listen to us at first but if we can give them what they need, we can learn more about ‘The Lion’ while destroying their operation.”
“So what exactly are you saying?” Alex cuts in
I take a deep breath. “There won’t be many people around, especially the boss. If we can get information on him, we can use that information to find out more about their weak spots and make our job easier.”
“I see and how do you expect to get into their hideout which is heavily guarded.”
I chuckled. “You should know one thing for sure is that when it comes to sneaking-,” I flipped my hair to the side. “I am number one.”
“I will assist you too.” Alex said.
“Yes sir.” I saluted.
“Good, we will attack tomorrow night.”
Alex and I gave him a firm nod.
“How do you feel?” Alex asked once we were outside.
“About?”
“All this you know about the mafia and stuff.” I sighed. I knew I could trust Alex but I didn’t know what to do. I am so confused. I can’t take care of myself, my daughter or my mom. My life is a complete mess and this is the fault of no one but myself. I chose this life but I didn’t have a choice.
“Confused, I guess. Sometimes I feel like I am just a toy. Going from place to place doing what other people tell me what to do. I am so confused I don’t wanna do this any more.” I sob
He pulls me into a tight embrace and holds.
“Don’t say that. You’ve come a long way and you’re a very strong woman besides there are people in this world who you have helped and also need you. You’ve come so far so you shouldn’t give up now.” he gave me one last squeeze then released me. He wiped my tears with his thumb. “Don’t cry, okay.” I nodded
“Come, let me drop you off” he ushered me to his car.
“Make sure to have a goodnight’s rest. Bye” I waved back.
I got home and saw mom standing in the living room.
“Where have you been, young lady?” her voice firm.
I kept my calm
“Working” I shrugged my jacket off.
“Really, you're gonna give me that. Working. Do you think you can deceive me? Is that what this is all about?” her voice is still solid.
I gulped. I’ve never seen mom mad and when she was, there was no escape. She exhaled.
“Look sweetie.” she walks up to me and takes my hands in hers. “I don’t know what it is but I will wait for you to tell me okay but please don’t make me worry about you. Please.” She left the room.
I went up to my room to take a hot shower. While waiting for the shower to get hot, I brought a set of nightwear.
As soon as I felt the hot water touch my skin, I collapsed sobbing huge long sobs. I let everything out. But then I realized nothing can get me out of this mess until my work is done. Sitting around crying will not solve anything so I need to get to work.
