Antonio
As Karan’s security detail takes him to the elevator, Yuri comes to me and pats me on the shoulder. “You did good, kid, you might have just saved our arses from being killed today.” Well, I didn’t know that there was something that could scare Yuri, it’s good to know that he is still human, well, somewhat human. “Anything to save our arses.” He chuckles and walks beside me as we head to the elevator with our guys behind us.
“Why doesn’t the boss have a Russian name like you? Because if I understand correctly Karan is an Indian name not Russian.” He sighs then slows his steps. “Well, you are part of the family now and you just saved his life so I will tell you.” He pauses then looks at me briefly. “Karan is half Russian and half Indian. His mother was an Indian woman while his father was a high-ranking member of the bratva.” He tells me then looks around as if to make sure no one
YuriI like that kid; he reminds me of myself growing up, but he might just get himself killed if he is not careful. I like his spirit and confidence but this time I think he used it on the wrong person. Going up to my floor I can feel the heaviness in my heart, I don’t have kids but if I have them; I picture my son to be exactly like that kid. When I get to Karan’s floor his men are standing alert and have guns pointed at me the moment the elevator opened.I just looked at them and they lower their guns when they see it’s me. I walk to his door and knock. One of his men opens then steps aside for me to walk in. “Yuri, you are here, good. Come, let’s have a drink so that you can tell me what the hell I just walked into in this city of yours.” Damn Italians and their timing. I do not know what is going on and that is only going to piss this man off. I hate looking stupid and that is exactly how I will look in this boy
AntonioComing out of the cold room with my suit drenched in blood, it’s a good thing that it’s black, I can’t imagine how it would look like it was another color. I am so frustrated, the guys we got and have tortured are not giving me anything I can use to find these guys. Souls meet me at the door as I come out. “Yuri called and we have another guy. The last one.” He tells me. “Good, bring him in,” I say and he turns to leave but stops then looks at me.“What is it?” He swallows. “Yuri?” he questions. “He can wait, I have things too, and I will call him when I am done,” I tell him then go back to the cold room. The stench of blood is thick in here and for the first time, I am not bothered. The chunks of flesh I cut off from the man I was torturing still decorated the floor, while the guys are taking out the rest of him. I am worried that each time I do this, I lose a part o
YuriAfter talking to the kid, I stood there looking at Misha who was now busy eating some of my French fries that came with the food I ordered. I want to believe the kid, but I have worked with Misha for years and this doesn’t seem like something he would do. He is the loyal type, and this is not his style. “Misha, let’s go, we are meeting the kid at the warehouse.” I watch as his expression changes when I mention the kid but quickly masks that and nods.“Does he have something regarding our current problem?” he asked getting up. “That’s just it, I want to make sure he gets something, we can’t afford to fuck up when Karan is here.” He nods then takes his jacket; I really hope the kid is wrong about this. We leave Lux and Misha drives us to the warehouse. I haven’t been here in a while; we get out and meet the kid at the door. He looks like he was coming to me.“I thought I
YuriWhile we were still talking more of the guys came back with a badly beaten Misha and they pushed him to me. He stumbled and fell on his knees right in front of me. I clap my hands together looking at him with a smirk on my face. “Well, brother, I think we need to talk.” He shivers but says nothing. “Misha, brother, don’t you want to talk to me?” I am more than pissed and trying very hard to keep my cool.“There is no point in talking, I know what is in store for me, so, get it over and done with.” He is right, we both know what is in store for him but before that, I need to know what the hell is going on, why did he betray me? “I need to know why Misha.” He shakes his head; Misha is as stubborn as the next member of the brotherhood. We don’t just talk; we would rather die than talk and torture doesn’t do much to motive us to open our mouths.“I get it, bring him with us
KaranI sat in my penthouse sipping on my scotch thinking about what Yuri said, if the Italians are coming for me then that means they have an ace up their sleeve and they are sure they can take me down. but what do they have? “Boss.” My number two stands next to me waiting for me to give him the go ahead to say something and I hope it’s worth it hearing. I gesture with my hand for him to talk. “We found Misha’s daughter, she was held at the Bologna in one of the houses there and was guarded by members of Cosa Nostra.”This is good Bologna is a good place for them to hide the girl, it’s a busy city but crime is not at the level of the Mafia, petty crimes are the most popular there like pickpocketing and break-ins. We would have never even looked there but what the Mafia did not bet on is that I am not normal, and neither are the things I do or my way of thinking. They want to bring the brotherhood to their knee
YuriI haven’t slept since this whole Misha and the Italian thing; I have been trying to figure out what they might have on us and most importantly why Misha didn’t tell me about his daughter. I thought he and I were close but after finding this out; I am not sure anymore. He kept his daughter from me and to me, which means he didn’t trust me at all. I was about to sleep when Karan sent word to meet downtown where Misha is being held.He said his daughter is on the way from the airport; I left Lux with all my security detail, I can’t afford to be vulnerable now when the Nigerians have confirmed that we are targets. The streets are quiet, too quiet for my liking, it's like J City citizens know that something is about to go down and are keeping themselves safe. When I get to the warehouse, I find it looking abandoned and there is this feeling in the pit of my stomach that tells me something is wrong.I take my phone out and
AntonioToday I almost died and Leta got shot. That made me realize that this place is the survival of the fittest, a dog-eat-dog kind of place and that if I am not careful, I will be next. Lucky for us Leta was only shot in the shoulder but some of our guys were not as lucky, they lost their lives and now we must deal with that. I watch as Karan kicks Santo's dead body with a stony expression. “Cut him into pieces and send them to each of the places the Italians are at. I want them to know that we are in the game and if one of them reaches Nathaniel even better. I want that son of bitch to know who he's messing with.” He says then looks between the two dead bodies.“Send Misha to the morgue, his daughter would like to bury him and that is doing a lot for the dog that got me into this.” He sneers then leaves the room, I look at the two men and think about how much I have changed over the past months. Now I am one of them and I m
AntonioWhen we land in Moscow the air around us changes, one can tell that something is going on even without knowing what. Karan’s men were already at the airport when we arrived, I could tell he didn’t bring his best men to J City because these men mean business, they are all dressed in expensive suits with tattoos peaking on their necks and wrists. There was not much talking when we got there, it was just Karan giving orders and we were on the road again.I have no signal on my phone and that needs to be sorted soon. I need to contact my people and Karan with no issues. “I am going to need a phone,” I tell him as I sip on the scotch that was in the limo. “That is already being taken care of.” I nod and keep quiet. The feeling at the pit of my stomach like something bad is about to happen, worsens as we drive further. “What is this place?” I ask trying not to think about this feeling.“This is Garage Valle
