Chapter 218
Massimo
I got such a fright when Bella screamed my name, I got up and ran to her, when I got to the living room Davide and Marco was already by her side. But everyone was looking at the TV. It was clear Bella didn’t get hurt but something was on the TV screen. I looked up and my heart almost stopped. It was a whole news segment about the Ricci’s house that was burned down and that the NYPD thought it was done on purpose and how many people died in the incident, how many was male and how many was female. “Fuck” “You could say that again” Lizzy said from behind us with her hair wet and in the bathrobe. “Now everyone knows I’m still alive.” She said with tears running down her face. Bella walked over to her and held her. Bella was really an exceptional person. “Don’t worry Lizzy they just said how many was male and female they didn’t say the age of the bodies.” “But they will I’m positive they’ll find that out.” “But then you’ll be in Paris with a new name and life.” I put the TV a bit loader to hear what the theory of the police was. They spoke about that the Ricci’s was known in the Mafia world and this might be retaliation. “Fuck, I need to speak to Frank. How the fuck did this happen.” My phone started ringing, “Great Romano” I wanted to listen to the news segment first before I answer any questions and obviously speak to Frank. Then the news Anker interviewed a reporter that did his homework on the Mafia families of New York. He confirmed that the Ricci’s was indeed part of the Mafia, he even knew something went wrong because the Ricci’s was trying to go out on their own, and in his opinion it was why they where killed. The Anker asked him if he knew the other families and he said yes, fuck he said yes. Then he said the one thing that made my blood run cold “I also know who is head of the families.” “You want to throughout names?” “Not if I want to keep on breathing.” He said to the news Anker. I looked behind me for the first time and I saw Luca, Enzo and Aldo joined us as well. “What we going to do boss?” “Enzo find out everything you can on this reporter. Luca try to get hold of our contact in the coroner’s office, maybe they have insight. I’m going to phone Frank.” Then my phone rang again this time it was Edcardo. I let it go to voice mail. I need facts before I can speak to them. I didn’t even speak to Bella or Lizzy. I just walked to my office. I need to sort out this shit show before it goes too far. I immediately contacted Frank “Yes Massimo, I saw” was the way he answered the phone. “And what are we doing about it? I thought it was sorted, I thought you had it under control.” “I also thought so until that reporter started snooping around.” “Can’t you bring him in for questioning and find out what he knows?” “That’s exactly what I’m going to do, but I can’t pressure him to hard Massimo, he might get suspicious about me to. Then we are all fucked.” “I get it Frank. Just keep me updated please.” “I’ll phone you as soon as I speak to him. And for God’s sake Massimo don’t let anyone kill the guy. You won’t do yourselves any favours.” “I’ll try and keep the dogs off him for now.” “What do you mean for now?” “Just what I said Frank” then I disconnected the call.
I called Ramano, Edcardo and Costa and put them all on a conference call. “What the fuck is going on Massimo?” They all basically screamed at me. “Can we all just calm down; I’ll tell you what I know.” According to the FBI everything was handled and then a reporter started investigating by himself. It looks like he’s investigating any ties to Mafia families.” “Is it the guy from the interview?” “Yes, it’s him, Frank is going to bring him in for questioning and will inform me what they get from him. But guys stay away from him, if we do anything to him know it will put a target on our backs.” “But” “No buts let’s see what he thinks he knows then we take it from there.” “Fine” they all grunted. “I’ll keep you guys updated.” I disconnected the call then called Luca into my office. “Anything from the coroners?” “Yes, they are told to get the age of all the deceased and to give it through to the NYPD.” “Luca can our contact put another female body in there the same age as Lizzy, we can’t let people know she survived.” “It’s going to cost us boss.” “I don’t care Luca just get it done.” “Okay boss.” I was doing damage control left right and centre, when Francesca phoned me. “What’s wrong Francesca?” “The police was here again Mr Marchetti, they came to question me about the news report and wanted to know if that has anything to do with your wife’s kidnapping?” “Fuck that’s a reach from them.” “They said they won’t stop coming around until they have answers.” “I’ll come through tomorrow, Francesca.” “Thank you Mr Marchetti.” Now I needed to phone Frank again. “Massimo” “Sorry Frank, did you ever get in touch with The Hamptons police department?” “Yes I send them your statements, why?” “They are harassing my housekeeper asking her if the story on the news have anything to do with Rachel’s kidnapping?” “Why on earth would they asked something like that. It’s a reach, although it’s true.” “I have no idea I’m going there tomorrow and let Bella speak to them, will you send through the statements for me.” “I’ll e-mail them to you right know.” “Thank you, Frank.” “I’ll keep you updated Massimo.” I disconnected the call again sit back in my chair and wondered ‘How the fuck can they still screw me from their graves. Fuck the reporter must be very good or somewhere we have a mole.’
Rachel
When all the men left the living room, I took Lizzy back to the guest room to get dressed. She was in shock and I could understand that. She saw her family home on TV burned to the ground. “You okay Lizzy?” “No” “I’m sorry you had to see your house like that on TV.” “It’s not the house that’s bothering me, Rachel. It’s the fact that everyone will know I wasn’t in that fire and they will come looking for me.” “I’m sure Massimo won’t let that happen Lizzy.” “Why should he help me, look at what my family and their goons did to you, I still can’t believe his setting me free. Free from everything especially that surname.” “Well believe it Lizzy, nothing your father did is on you and I’m positive Massimo will get a way that everyone thinks you died in that fire.” “I really really hope he can, I don’t want to start my new life by looking over my shoulder the whole time.” “You get dressed so long and I’ll go and find Massimo and find out what his plans are.” “Thank you Rachel you really didn’t have to be so nice to me, but I appreciate what you and Massimo are trying to do for me.” “It’s our pleasure Lizzy.”
