Here we go guys...
Niccolo.
The next couple hours were a complete blur.
We found ourselves packed into my car, dead silent, paying attention to the opening and closing of Leonardo's estates' gates as people exited and occasionally arrived.
"So far, we've seen roughly seventy-five of his men exit, there's more in there no doubt, but we can't just sit and wait until he's the last one in there."Max pipes up. I listened but continued to play with my baby girl while Alexander keeps track of his movement via our inside man.
Turns out, Sean, Alexander's spy, is currently Damien's sister babysitter while Leonardo is in a private meeting.
Staring straight ahead, more specifically, at the room the girl was in, I stiffened. No!
Slipping my knife into my combat boots, I sat up. Squinting my eyes as I strained to see from such a distance, but I slumped down when my eyes confirmed the truth.
"It can't be." I groaned in annoyance.
This bitch better not fuck with my head.
"What?" Alexander turned to me, a confused look on his face as he searched me for answers.
Shrugging lightly, I twisted my body just enough to grab my binoculars.
"Alexander........I swear ......to everything holy.....if Damien made it out and you didn't tell me, I'm going to kill you and your bitch....... slowly." my threat was said out of pure shock.
"Surely you wouldn't think a jail cell could hold him back when it comes to family." Max, opened his eyes, peering at me sleepily.
"He wasn't supposed to be out this early. Why didn't I know this earlier? Why didn't you tell me?" I looked at Alexander, my eyes hard and fists formed in anger.
Instead of answering, Alexander gave me a familiar small ear device. I looked at him.
"What's this for?" i asked. By now, i was anticipating a bullshitted answer. I looked at him and flicked my eyes back to the small device.
"Just take it." he encouraged with a reassuring nod.
Glancing at the man in the back, he sent me a smirk, i snagged the device from Alexander and replaced mine with it.
"This wasn't planned, so don't start capisce?" his voice was strong and calm, odd.
"Don't start what?" i asked, though i have a pretty good idea of what he meant.
Damien paused, a few seconds went by and neither of us talked.
"Don't start shit you can't finish." another voice answered. A voice i was not familiar with.
"Who is this bitch?" i asked, sitting up again. I closed my eyes, the stress started, my head pounded in pain and i was low on drugs.
This isn't good.
"Niccolo, i need you to be ready for my call. You will enter through the back gate. Walk right in and i'll be on the third floor with Ava and Sean. For the love of God........don't screw this up." Damien warns.
I sat, working out my strategies in my mind. Shouldn't be longer than thirty minutes.
"Damien, what about Alex and Max here?" i asked, absentmindedly pointing to the two.
The answer was immediate. "They stand guard."
It was silent after that. I could hear heavy breathing and bodies being dropped.
That should be me killing those people. A favor for Damien. I should be rescuing Ava.
I pulled my bag from behind my seat, opened it and rammed through it until i found what i was looking for.
"Do i want to know what you're going to do with that pliers?" Max asked. Alexander cursed under his breath.
"You don't." I nodded one, signalling the end of my speech.
From then, i was silent, channeling my inner demented self. I needed him to make an appearance to make this shit happen.
It took a while before i heard another sound from the other side.
"Shit!" the unknown man yells.
I smiled. Just a little longer until i can sink my knife in warm flesh.
"You're crazier than i thought. Weird ass smiling at nothing." Max was a kid at heart. I'm not sure what his story is but this isn't something i'd picture him doing. He doesn't look like Mafia material, more of a business man type of guy.
"I'm not trying to give you nightmares, but imagine, imagine digging a cold metal knife into someone's flesh. I can picture the shock on their faces, the floor painted red and the life drained out of them when i slice their throat, painfully slow." i ranted.
I gulped in remembrance. The memories are sweet and recent.
I looked through my rearview mirror at Max, the dude was horrified.
I laughed, hard.
"Poor kid." the unknown dude commented.
I sat unsettled for the most, anticipating my call from Damien and wanting to know who exactly was the man on the other end.
He sounded strong, buff. I know for sure he was English, yet I didn't know him personally.
A meeting should be arranged soon.
"I've got eyes on her." Damien announced, fiddling in the background.
I smiled, nodded silently in understanding.
"Me too." the English duck says.
"Damien. I'm not comfortable not knowing who this guy is. It's unsettling."I said, announcing my problem.
I could see Alexander's annoyed expression, Max has been annoyed this whole car ride, so this just makes it worst.
There wasn't a direct answer to my question but if I didn't listen carefully, I would've missed the exasperated sigh Damien let out.
"He's just a guy I met."Damien answered, a tone I couldn't quite catch underlined his words.
I nodded, the answer wasn't as satisfying as I'd hope it would be.
Minutes passed before Damien called me. I quickly made my way to the back entrance.
I surveyed my surroundings. Rich people shit is real.
"I just got one more question." I laughed quietly.
"Shoot."Damien said.
I took a breath, trying to be as serious as I could as I directed my question to Damien and his friend.
"Y'all clapped cheeks or nah?" I pulled my blade out, ready to take down the security that spotted me.
"Niccolo!" Alexander hissed.
"Say my name, say my name." I grinned, stepping over the dead body.
"I'm not your bitch." He responds quickly.
I could hear Damien snort and Max cackling loudly.
"No, but you can be." I teased.
"I like this dude already." English guy said.
I silently made my way into the house, looking at the mess that was made and the lifeless bodies that lined the path.
I missed the bloodbath!
I walked where Damien directed me. Stopping in front of the man himself and another.
"It's been a while my friend."he greets, with a strong handshake.
"Missed you too man." I nodded.
I controlled my stoned expression as I analyzed the man that held a sniper next to Damien.
English Duck.
"Chad."he nods to me, not once moving a muscle.
"Let's get one thing straight, stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours." I warned.
Chad nods, a small smirk on his face.
"Great! Let's go kill a bitch."I snapped, pulling my gun out to view.
"Nic, I want Leonardo alive." Alexander says.
I smirk, glancing at Damien who gave me a knowing look.
"He's yours after I'm done with him."I said, my voice goes deep as my accent makes an appearance.
"Deal." Alexander agrees.
I smiled in content.
Time to fuck shit up.
