Chapter 7
"You did great for your first time," She said as she kissed me through my parted lips.
"Thanks," I said as I regained the strength in my legs.
Ravi handed me a silk robe and we left out the back door of the VIP room. I took a quick shower in the locker room and grabbed my towel to dry off when I heard talking. A man's voice was coming through the phone as the woman whispered.
"I'm alone now." The woman said with a hushed voice. I grabbed my clothes and put them on as quietly as possible.
"I believe the Russos have someone watching the warehouse." The man said in anger. "He's been here a few days, but he doesn't look Italian." He said sounding like he let out cigarette smoke. I immediately thought "Griffin."
"I know what to do. Send me his picture and I will be sure to handle him," She said in confidence. As she hung up the phone, I grabbed my knife out of my clutch. She was speaking about Griffin and planned on killing him. I snuck up behind her in her all black, leather get up.
"Give me your phone," I said with my hand around her neck and the knife at her throat. She handed me the phone and I walked her out the back being sure not to be seen.
We made it to the trunk of my car and I gave her two blows to the temple. She fell unconscious and I pushed her into the trunk.
"Griff, meet me now!" I said before he could say hello.
"What's up, Scar?" He said in a hurried tone.
"I'm sending you the address now," I said as I typed the address in and ended the call. I turned her phone off, so it couldn't be traced.
I drove fast before the bitch had time to come to. I went to one of our warehouses. Jen, our tech support, was there with her thick frames and long stringy hair.
"Jen, I need your help getting her out of the trunk!" I said while signaling her.
"Who is she?" She yelled out.
"Jen, we need to hurry," I said grabbing the woman's legs that weren't bound.
We gathered her up into the interrogation room and cuffed her hands to the table and her feet to the legs of the chair. She wasn't leaving here alive, so there was no need to hide my identity. I stood outside, watching her with Jen, waiting for Griffin to arrive. He entered swiftly, out of breath.
"What's going on? Who is she?" He said catching his breath. He really needed to work out more.
"She was being sent to kill you by an unknown man," I said staring him in the eyes.
"How do you know?" He asked with a concerned look.
"I was in the shower at the club, when she came into the locker room to take a call from the guy," I said as I pulled the phone out of my back pocket to hand it to Jen. "Griff, they think you're with the Russos. You're not safe. You have to have Santiago pull you out." I said, thinking of Lamont all over again. He grabbed me with his strong arms and held me tight.
"I'm going to get started on the phone," Jen said as she walked away.
"It's the feeling I've been having since we got on this mission, Scar." He looked at me and mouthed, "We cannot trust anyone." I stared at him in shock before he put his finger to his mouth to shush me.
"I'm going to talk to her, you stay out here," I said looking him in the eyes.
I walked through the door just as she was coming to. I grabbed the silver chair across from her and sat down. She smiled at me as I sat down.
"Serpente," She said as she spits on the table.
"La Muerte será tuya pronto," I said in my native tongue.
"Death will come to you first, bitch." She said with a wicked smirk on her face.
"So, you speak Spanish?"
"I speak many languages, Marisol."
"We know who I am. Now, what's your name?"
"Sofia Luciano," She said sitting up with a smile.
"Ah, your father is Francisco," I said with folded arms and legs.
"Bitch, I see through you. You're nothing but a mouth and pussy to fuck," She said with a wink. "He will use you just like the others. Except when he's done with you, he will kill you," She said through gritted teeth.
"Who ordered you to kill my friend?"
"Your friend was snooping in our business, he deserves to die. We will catch him and kill him and then he'll be swimming with the fishes." She said staring at the glass as if she could see him.
"Who was on the phone?"
"Why, you wanna fuck him, too?"
"That's possible. I like my men dangerous," I said as I winked at her.
She laughed throwing her head back, "He's going to kill you, so I will see you on the other side."
"That may be true, but I'm not afraid of death. I've killed enough people to know that my time will come," I said walking around the table to her. I grasped her hair, "Last chance, Sofia, or I'm sending your head to your Nonnina in an ice chest, while she's having tea." Her grandmother doesn't have many good years left, this may kill her.
She looked at me in total fear as I stroked her pretty neck. "They will chase the Russos for your murder and I will be free. Then your Nonnina will be mine for the kill," I said placing a wet kiss on her forehead.
"You evil bitch!"
"Ok, I will be back and I won't be playing nice," I said walking away.
"Franco!" She yelled.
"Franco, as in Giovanni's younger brother?" I asked in confusion.
