Chapter 80
Damon
It was chaos all around us. Massimo was lying on top of me, I rolled him off of me but he was out cold. “Massimo, Massimo!” I screamed but nothing. I checked for a pulse, he still had one, Thank God for that. “Massimo wake up!” I checked for injuries, I could see a head wound that was bleeding. I called Luca and Liam. “Guys we need to get Massimo at a doctor as soon as possible. You two carry him to the helicopter so long, I sort out this shit here.” Luca, Massimo’s bodyguard and Liam, my bodyguard took Massimo to his helicopter. I saw Luca was on the phone, so I was sure he was calling Massimo’s doctor to get us at his apartment. I called Ghost and Marco “Guys you need to get the girls out of here before the authorities get here. Organise a van and take the girls to Frank’s office, Marco you have his number, call him and tell him you’re on your way with some of the girls. Ghost you get out a block before Frank’s office, you know he’s still looking for you.” “Yes boss.” “I’m taking Massimo to his apartment and the rest of the men that got hurt. Get us there.” Ghost and Marco got all the girls together and all the men ran to the helicopters. The police and fire department where on their way, we could hear them approaching. When we got on the Helicopter, I tried to wake Massimo again, he opened his eyes but close them again. “We need to get to Massimo’s place as soon as possible.” I told the pilot.
On our way to Massimo’s apartment, I contacted Rachel “Damon what’s wrong?” Rachel asked anxiously. “Massimo got hurt, a doctor will be at the apartment any minute now, clear the dinning room table and get ready Rachel.” “Is he alive Damon.” “Yes Rachel, get ready please.” “Okay” I didn’t mean to be abrupt with her but there were things to be done. Then I phoned Paul, “Yes boss?” “Paul things didn’t go as plan, where is Danielle, she’s sleeping boss.” “Good, if she wakes up and askes for me, tell her I’ll be home as soon as possible. Don’t tell her anything else.” “Okay boss.” “I’ll be at Massimo’s place.”
Rachel
The whole afternoon I had a pit in my stomach, I was anxious and things just felt wrong. I worried about Massimo and all the men. Something felt of for me. Since we found Danielle there was no trace of the Ricci’s and then suddenly on Monday this big clue appeared on the dark web and Massimo got a tip with an address of where the Ricci’s where hiding out. Maybe it was the sceptic in me or the fact that I learned the hard way not to believe everything you hear but Massimo and Damon was so desperate they grabbed at it. Everything was just falling into place to easily for my taste. They haven’t made anything easy why would they now. I tried to forget about my worries about this rescue slash killing mission and tried to concentrate on the files, the Ricci’s known addresses, known associates, businesses and then there was the photo’s I tried to memorized. I will know them inside and out. I went over there addresses and businesses again and there was a small nail salon in a building they owned in The Bronx. If it were me I would hide out there. A bit out of the City and still under everyone’s noses. But that was what I thought. My phone rang and immediately I got goose bumps, something was wrong. It was Damon. “Damon what’s wrong?” l asked anxiously. “Massimo got hurt, a doctor will be at the apartment any minute now, clear the dinning room table and get ready Rachel.” “Is he alive Damon.” “Yes Rachel, get ready please.” “Okay” I almost started to cry but I new I had to keep it together. I cleared the dinning room table then the phone rang, it was the doorman. “Miss Rachel, the doctor is here.” “Send him up please Gideon.” As the doctor arrived I could hear the helicopter approaching. “Hi doctor my name is Rachel.” “Rachel I’m Dr Jacobsohn.” “I cleared the dinning room table for you Doctor.” “Thank you Rachel, can you get me towels as well, I don’t know how many men got hurt.” I ran to the bathroom and got as many towels as I could, when I walked back into the dinning room. Luca and Damon’s bodyguard put Massimo on the table. “Oo my God” I ran to Massimo. “Massimo, Massimo can you hear me.” The doctor started to examine him, “there’s a head wound” the doctor said. He checked the head wound. “Okay it’s not to deep.” “Why doesn’t he wake up doc?” Damon asked. “He hit his head hard on something.” The doctor explained. I went to his side again. While the doctor was stitching his head. “Massimo, please wake up, love.” I begged him. When the doctor was done he asked if there were any other injuries. There was a few men who needed stitches but nothing serious. I looked at Damon. “Did you get the girls?” “There were only 10 left, it was a trap Rachel, there were a bomb in the house.” “Oo my God Damon and Danielle’s friends?” “According to one of the girls they were sold yesterday.” “Fuck Damon, how are you going to break the news to Danielle?” “I have no idea.”
The doctor went back to Massimo and looked into his eyes and looked for more wounds, likely there were none. I went to him again. “Massimo, love please wake up.” I put my head on his very dirty chest. “Please wake up.” Everyone was standing around us looking at me begging him to wake up. Then I felt his arm moving. “Massimo, love?” “I’m here sweetheart, I’m here.” “Thank God your okay Massimo.” Thank fuck, I heard Damon said and all the men gave a sigh of relive. He tried to get up but the doctor pushed him down. “No Massimo don’t get up, you have a head wound. Just give it another minute or so before you get up.” Massimo didn’t listen to the doctor. He sat up on the table then threw his legs of. “I need to get up.” “Love I understand but can you please listen to the doctor. Just sit still until the dizziness goes away.” He looked at me, “How do you know I’m dizzy sweetheart.” “I can see it.”
“Where’s Damon?” “I’m right here Massimo.” “Damon it was a trap, we have a mole.”
