Mesmerizing Mr. Mafia

Trouble at the Four Seasons

"What are you guys gonna do?" Angelo asked as we waited outside Dom and Lilly's house. He seemed slightly worried, and overly on edge. "Just hang out?"

"Yeah probably," I shrugged. I was a bad liar and he knew that, so anything was going to make me look guilty of something.

The front door swung open, revealing both a disheveled Lilly and Dom. Dom, looking caught quite off guard, straightened up after seeing Angelo, "Welcome to our humble abode," he made a swooping hand gesture, "Come on in."

I grabbed Sophia's hand after giving Angelo a quick kiss, and then followed Lilly inside.

"I thought you said you were coming over later," she whisper yelled at me.

"Yeah, I said that like five hours ago. It is later."

"Oh," she paused to pick up a few couch pillows off the floor. The room was a mess. "Time flies. So are we really doing this?" She asked super quietly. "Out of the country?" She mouthed.

I nodded.

"Alright," Lilly stood up tall as Dom came into the room. "Are you gonna watch some tv?" She asked and he nodded before plopping down onto the fluffy white couch.

"What's up, SoSo?" Dom asked as Sophia hopped up onto the couch with him, sitting as close as she could have without actually crawling into his lap. She just smiled up at him.

The girl was in love with her dad's best friend.

Lilly waltzed into the kitchen and I followed her in, "Do you want a drink, babe?" She crossed her fingers, hoping he'd say yes.

"Yeah, sure."

"Water ok?"

"That's fine."

I watched as Lilly grabbed a glass from the cupboard and filled it to the brim with ice water. She then took a pill bottle from out of the purse she had lying on the counter and popped one of the dissolving capsules in it.

"What is that?" I asked oh so very quietly.

"Sleepy drugs," she mixed the remainder in before gliding back out into the living room to hand Dom the glass.

"Thanks, love."

"No problem," she took Sophia off the couch, much to her dismay, just as Dom took a rather large gulp. "Chloe, there's duct tape in the top drawer. Grab it. We gotta move fast," she set Sophia on her feet before lunging for the cell phone that Dom was sluggishly trying to get to on the coffee table.

"What'd you do, Lillian?" Dom's eyes wandered around the room woozily as I came back to hand Lilly the tape. "Why?"

"Have to help a friend. I'm so sorry," Lilly proceeded to tie Dom's wrists and ankles together as he laid motionless.

"Where are we going?" Sophia asked as the three of us rushed through the airport. Our plane was about to leave and it was the last one to Los Angeles for hours. We didn't have hours, we barely had minutes before one of Angelo's men saw the security footage and sent people to retrieve us.

I had one shot and I wasn't going to let anything ruin it.

I picked Sophia up and continued to run. Her small legs were holding us back slightly, but it was a problem easily fixed.

"Where's daddy?" She asked, water forming in her eyes. She wasn't stupid, she knew something was happening, she just wasn't one hundred percent sure what. The fact that Angelo wasn't around probably terrified her three year old self.
