Chapter 27

*Chapter 27
Ten Pound, Clear View Point*

**We walked into** this upbeat modern club named Ten Pound. It was one of the few popular clubs in Clear View Point. It was also one of the few places owned by Riley Moretti aka Venom. This club was known for its McAllen Scotch and Ginger Vodka. Honestly, I don't know what all the hype is about. Ginger Vodka is not that great.

Earlier today, I did some digging on Venom and found out that he isn't really part of a mafia but more like a really big gang. There was a difference between the two. A gang was a small group maybe up to 20 or 25 people who sold drugs and that was about it, they always wore baggy pants. Now a Mafia can be up to 500 people like Silva's Mafia. We were a lot stricter and had a lot more rules that needed to be followed.

I turned to look at Dimitri who looked really impressive in his black and white suit 3-piece suit. He might have been a little overdressed for this bar but I'm sure the female population in the bar didn't mind. "Call Silva and tell him I want all the info about Venom's son. Not one single detail missing." I mumbled in his ear so he could hear over the loud music.

Dimitri nodded; already getting Silva on the line. I looked around the club that wasn't very easy because of the flashing lights and darkness. I can't really believe someone like Venom would own a club like this; I would have guessed it would be boring and plain, just like him. I quickly decided to walk to the bar and get myself a drink while I wait for Dimitri.

The bartender comes walking my way and said: "What can I get a lovely lady like you to drink?" He winked flirtatiously and I grinned back at him "Can I have a Bruichladdich" He raised an eyebrow and he smirked back at me. "Whiskey? Well, I'm surprised" I playfully rolled my eyes at him and grinned as he walked away.

I scanned the bar trying to spot Dimitri. I found him not so far from me, now talking to a girl in a tight fitted dress. I chuckled and gulped down the drink after the bartender placed it down in front of me. That man has never been able to keep it in his pants.

Pulling out my phone from my purse to check for any messages from Silva I was disappointed to see none. I wonder what was taking him so long. I ordered another Whiskey and slowly sipped on this one.

Once again I looked around the room and took a sip from the glass. My eyes scanned over a guy before continuing but my head snapped back as I stared at the face of a guy I would recognize anywhere.

My eyes must be misleading me. I saw Nikolai standing at the end of the bar and frowned. What was he doing here, and how the hell did he get in? This was a strictly 21+ club.

I walked up to him and raised an eyebrow. "Nikolai?" He turned around to face me. There were 2 girls in skimpy dresses hanging onto him and they were looking me up and down in disgust; typical.

"Tatia, what are you doing here?" He asked looking surprised. I grinned at him. "I'm here with a friend." He nodded and looked over my shoulder. "Where is this friend?" He raised an eyebrow well smirking.

"Making a phone call. Now, what are you doing here?" I nodded to the girls hanging on him. He grinned and chuckled "My dad owns this bar. I come here every week or so to check up on things."

I nodded. That explains how he would get in, but it wasn't long before I frowned "Wait... Your dad owns this bar?" He nodded. "Yeah, he's out of-" He stopped talking when I felt an arm snake around my waist.

I looked up to see that it was Dimitri and Nikolai continued after clearing his throat "Uh yeah he's out of town so yeah..." I frowned again before nodding "Well we have to go, so uhm see you around."

Dimitri and I walked away. "Dimitri we have to be at the wrong bar. That is one of my friends from school. He said his dad owns this bar." Before Dimitri could answer my phone pinged twice indicating that I received 2 new messages. Both were from Silva so I opened them and read the first one.

*From: Silva
To: Tatiana
Here is everything you need to know to catch this guy.

**Name:** Nikolai Riley Moretti
**Age:** 18 Years Old
**Extra:** Goes to school
**Relationship:** Single*

The next message was a picture. I looked up and caught Nikolai staring at me. Blinking my eyes I sent I silent prayer up, hoping the picture didn't show me the face I was just staring at. When the picture finally stops downloading I looked down at the picture, beautiful green eyes, dark black hair and a 5 o'clock shadow on his jaw.

Nikolai Moretti my friend from school, who can't know I'm a member of a mafia, is Nikolai Riley Moretti. A.k.a The guy I have kidnap; is also the son of Riley Moretti also known as Venom. Great, just great!!

"Dimitri, we have a tiny weenie problem." He frowned at me silently telling me to continue "You know that guy I was just talking to..." Dimitri nodded

"Well you know he is a friend from school... meaning he can't know I'm in the mafia. This is the problem you see. He happens to also be the guy we have to kidnap."

He looked at me after staying silent for about a minute. "We can't abort this mission. We need to kidnap him. Spike his drink and let's take him." I nodded and walked back to Nikolai.

The 2 girls were still hanging on him as he picked up a vodka shot and swallowed it. "Nikolai..." He turned at me and smirked "My friend had to leave. Want to dance with me?" He grinned and stood up "Sorry ladies." He smirked at me as he pushed the 2 girls off of him.

We walked to the dance floor and started dancing to the beat

After about an hour of dancing, we walked to the bar and ordered something to drink. The bartender placed our drinks in front of us and I quickly dropped a sleeping pill in Nikolai's whiskey when he wasn't looking.

He drank his whiskey in 2 swallows and I sipped at my drink. I placed it on the bar counter and placed my hand on his leg. He tensed for a second before relaxing. "Want to go outside of a minute? It's kind of hot in here." I purred in his ear before pulling away and biting my lip.
He looked down at my lip and nodded. I grinned and we walked out. When we got outside he blinked slowly and leaned against the wall. "Wow, damn I'm like really tired all of the sudden." He slurred his words.

The bouncer at the door walked to us and asked "Need me to get you two a cab. It looks like this guy is about to pass out." I looked at Nikolai with a sympathetic look.

"Nah, I have my car here." Just then Dimitri walked out and came jogging our way "Damn here you guys are." I nodded. "Yeah he wasn't feeling good so we come out for some fresh air when he was like 'damn I'm tired." Dimitri took a step forward just when Nikolai passed out.

He looked at the bouncer and said "Don't worry I've only had a vodka shot. We can get out of here." The bouncer nodded and walked back to his post at the door.

Dimitri carried Nikolai back to my car and placed him in the back seat. He got into the driver seat and started the car after I got in. "Let's get out of here."
