Chapter 220
Rachel
The next morning, I got up early to make sure Lizzy has everything. The courier was here very early bringing her passport, social security card and her bank cards at least the cloths and make-up came yesterday afternoon. She was on her way to the airport with Davide and Aldo. Massimo and I was getting ready to drive through to the Hamptons. As we approach the garage Massimo told Luca and Marco “I’m taking the Lamborghini, you guys follow us.” “You sure boss?” Luca asked. “Yes, I’m sure there is no immediate threat at the moment, it’s the best time to drive her.” “Her?” I asked “Yes Bella I’m definitely not going to call my car a him.” I just laughed at him he walked me to a black sports car. “Wow Massimo, is it new?” “No Bella it’s normally covered that’s why you haven’t seen it yet.” I got in the car; it was pure luxury. It felt like the seat was hugging you. The interior was red, Massimo definitely had a thing for red. “I love the car Massimo, why haven’t we ride in it yet.” “To dangerous Bella. Now that the Ricci’s are gone, we can properly try to live like normal people.” I stated laughing “Normal? Normal people don’t drive Lamborghini Massimo.” “Fine normal for us, it looks like the only danger we are in know is from reporters.” “Don’t joke about that Massimo, words can hurt more sometimes.” “I know Bella, let’s see if we can win Luca and Marco.” He changed the subject. “I’m sure you’ll give them a heart attack.” “More excitement for us.” “Massimo!” “Just joking.” As soon as we where out of the traffic and on a long stretch of road, Massimo was driving as fast as he could I never seen myself as a adrenaline junkie but that drive up to the Hamptons was exhilarating. We decided to go to the Police station first and get it over with. We pulled into the parking area, Luca and Marco wasn’t even close to us. As soon as we entered the police station a very young arrogant officer walk over to us. He walks straight over to me “Mrs. Marchetti so glad you are safe.” “Thank you.” “I’m Officer Hancox.” “Nice to meet you.” “Mr. Marchetti, thank you for making time to come to us, I’m sure you had to move around a lot of things to be here.” “Officer Hancox, that I did and it’s not like you gave me any other option. I don’t appreciate you harassing my house keeper. If we can get this over with apparently the FBI’s report is not good enough for you.” “There’s just a few questions that needs answering Mr. Marchetti.” “Then lets start.” Officer Hancox walked us over to a room, it looked like an interrogation room to me, but hey what do I know. “Mr. Marchetti, Mrs. Marchetti take a seat.” We sat down and I could see Massimo was already irritated. “Can we start Officer?” Massimo said irritated. “Mrs. Marchetti can you tell us in your own words how you were taken.” “It’s in the statement Officer.” “Please just humor me.” “You know it’s very traumatic for her.” Massimo said. “Yes, I know but I need to know, for our own reports.” “Rachel, you don’t have to.” “It’s fine Massimo.” “A friend and I went to the florist and bakery to thank them for their great work with our wedding on such short notice, then we went to a coffee shop, when we got out of the coffee shop we noticed something was wrong, my bodyguard wasn’t at his post and the cars wasn’t in front of the coffee shop. But before we could do anything I was grabbed from behind, I tried to fight but it didn’t help. One person pushed a needle into my neck then I was out. I woke up in a dungeon.” “Do you know what kind of car it was?” “No, I just know it was black.” “And do you know where the dungeon was?” “No, I don’t know, I was shackled to the bed and couldn’t look out of the window.” “How did you escape?” “I’m sure it’s in the statement officer.” “I want to hear it from you.” “The statement is in my own words officer Hancox, I’m not going to relived that part of my life.” “But Mrs.” Massimo, cut him off “But nothing, she told you what happened in your part of the country, that’s all you need to know. And the statement the FBI gave you explains the rest.” “Then what about you Mr. Marchetti, do you have anything you want to tell us.” “Is there anything you want to know Officer Hancox, because so far it looks like you are on a fishing expedition, in places you have no jurisdiction. The FBI gave you what they thought you need to know; my wife told you what happened in your jurisdiction. That’s all you need to know and now if you’ll excuse us.” “I’m not finish Mr. Marchetti.” “Well officer Hancox in my eyes we are finish if you want to ask any more questions phone my attorney and stop harassing Francesca. We are leaving.” Officer Hancox was still trying to say something but Massimo took my hand and we walked out of the police station. When we got outside Luca and Marco was eventually outside. “Everything done boss?” “He has more questions but I told him we are done. I’ll phone Frank and my attorney when we get home.” “Okay boss, we going straight home.” “Yes” “No wait” I interrupt them. “Can we drive pass the coffee shop?” “You sure Bella?” “Yes, I’m sure.” “Okay Luca we driving pass the coffee shop.” We entered the main street and I could feel my stomach was in knots. ‘It’s okay Rachel, you are safe’ I kept on saying that to myself over and over. Massimo took my hand in his hand, “You okay Bella, no one will hurt you.” “I know Massimo. Can we stop maybe get a take away coffee inside?” “Bella, I think it will be to much.” “I want to Massimo, I can’t hide, I won’t hide. I need to tackle this fear the sooner the better.” “Okay Bella.” Massimo called Luca and told him we’re stopping for coffee. We got a parking right in front of the coffee shop. Massimo said “The best thing of winter in the Hamptons. Not struggling to get a parking.” He got out and opened the door for me, then he took my hand. “I’m right here Bella.” “I know Massimo.” Marco came running to us, “You sure Rachel?” “Yes Marco, how do you feel?” “I’m good Rachel.” “Good we walked into the coffee shop and the same waiter was there.” “Mrs. Marchetti, so glad you okay.” She said “Thank you very much.” “How can we help today?” “Can we get 3 take away espresso’s and 1 Hazelnut decaf ice latte.” “I’ll be right back.” “We got our coffee’s Massimo took them and we walked out of the coffee shop.” I stood in front of the coffee shop right on the spot where they took me. I just stood there frozen on the spot. Massimo tried to pull me towards the car but I couldn’t move.
