“What are you speaking about?”

“The place is my cellphone?”

“I believe Pleasure has it. What’s going on, Lucia?”

Lucia continued to shake her head as she moved towards the doorway.

“Speak to me. Maintain on. Right here it’s.” I grabbed it, strolling nearer. She was white as a ghost, her respiration far too labored. “Come on. You’ll want to sit down.”

“No. It’s not potential he’s alive. It could’t be.” As she continued to develop into extra hysterical, I grew to become increasingly more involved.

I wrapped my arm round her, attempting to information her towards the sofa. Then I heard a pinging sound indicating the bastard had been discovered. “Simply breathe, Lucia. Come on. Sit down.” Thank God she listened to me, however her arms have been shaking as she tried to dial a quantity. I backed away, returning to the pc.

Once I glanced on the display screen, I used to be in shock and in disbelief. There wasn’t an opportunity in hell the asshole was on this property.

But a horrible feeling pooled within the pit of my abdomen. We’d been performed. Who would have identified we’d be right here as an alternative?

“Dar. Hearken to me. I do know this sounds loopy…”

I hit a few buttons refreshing the display screen, however the data got here again the identical. Oh, pricey God. Grabbing my cellphone, I backed away, terror racing by means of me. I shortly tried to dial Mattia’s quantity, solely to misdial the primary time. Then I took a deep breath, attempting it once more as I reached for one of many weapons that I’d insisted be left. Then I seen one thing out of the nook of my eye.

As I turned barely, I set free an intense scream seconds earlier than the window exploded.

“No!”

CHAPTER 27

5 minutes earlier than…

Mattia

“There’s nothing happening right here, boss,” Luis mentioned, checking in as he’d completed a number of instances over the previous few hours.

We’d arrange camp in one of many warehouses bridging the gap between the outdated DeLuca and Lazarro estates, which have been virtually forty miles aside. The warehouse was good not solely due to the situation but in addition as a result of the bait of getting diamonds shipped in by means of Sicily, Don Romano’s territory was too attractive to cross up.

Or so we hoped.

It was a big gamble, one highlighted by bogus emails between Dar and the opposite member of the famiglia. If the Ghost was in shut proximity, which we suspected, then he wouldn’t resist making an attempt to muscle in because it was our solely order of enterprise at this level. At minimal, we believed the fucker would attempt to derail the ‘trucking’ cargo that was purported to arrive inside the hour.

It had been a formidable plan to determine, utilizing far too many assets however at the very least we have been in place. At the very least Sophia’s final textual content had indicated the bogus emails had been tracked. Whether or not or not the Ghost would present his ugly face remained to be seen, however one thing appeared to be working given the heightened stage of curiosity. It was solely a matter of time earlier than she was in a position to monitor the asshole’s actual location.

“No motion?” I confirmed as I paced the realm outdoors the warehouse. I wasn’t thrilled with how a lot time had passed by, my endurance operating skinny.

“Nothing. I’d had the boys drive the roads round the home. All the pieces is quiet.”

“Simply keep in mind what we went by means of in Paris. Don’t underestimate the fucker.”

Luis laughed. “I’ve a rating to settle, boss. Don’t fear.”

I ended the decision, holding the cellphone to my head as D’Artagnan walked out of the warehouse. “Nothing new.”

“I don’t like this any greater than you do, brother.”

“Yeah, I do know. You’ve a complete household on the road.”

“So do you, which is one thing I by no means thought I’d see.” He chuckled, his gaze one in all amusement.

“Why? As a result of I’m not lovable?” I used to be shocked I might tease given every thing that was happening.
