Chapter 87
Massimo
It’s such a nice feeling to have someone on my side. When I told Rachel Damon or Danielle won’t be happy, she didn’t say, ‘you’ll deal with it when it comes’ she said ‘we’ll deal with it’. That gives me feelings I’ve never had before, I didn’t believe I could feel this way. She makes me love her more every day. I’m busy day dreaming when my phone rang. “That was quick Frank.” “Massimo withdraw from the Ricci’s there’s a special task force looking into them and if you have the girl that escape keep her safe everyone is looking for her.” “Is there any other information?” “Your name and Damon’s name came up so keep your noses clean for now and please listen to me withdraw your men now. I know you have people watching them and I know because the special tasked force commander told me.” “I’ll do it now, thanks Frank.” “Anytime body.” “Bye”
I immediately called Enzo. “Enzo leave the tail and come to my office.” “Should someone come and relieve me boss?” “No get all the men to my office as soon as possible.” “Yes boss” Then I phoned Luca “Yes boss?” “Come to my office everyone that’s here and outside I need you in my office.” “On our way boss.” Now I need to phone Damon, he’s not going to like this conversation. “Massimo, what can I do for you?” “Damon retreat all your men from the Ricci’s and come to my office at home. Bring Danielle with, she can visit with Rachel.” “Why Massimo.” “Damon, do you trust me?” “Yes” “Then call of your men and come to my office now.” “Okay we’re on our way.” I went looking for Rachel, she was sitting cross legged on the lounge floor with the families’ files in front of her. “Sweetheart we need to talk and I need your help.” “Anything Massimo, what’s going on?” “I just spoke to Frank and my suspicions was right. The Ricci’s did try to set me and Damon up for the trafficking ring and they do have heat on them the NYPD has a special task force that is dedicated just to the Ricci’s. The problem with this is we need to withdraw from the Ricci’s and the search for the other girls. I need your help because Damon and Danielle are not going to be happy. I’ll still work my sources and try to find them it’s just not going to be now. Frank also said we should look after her because everyone is looking for her.” “We can do that, I’m sure Damon will protect her” “We also need to start our routine again, my name as well as Damon’s were mentioned. We need to take care of our legal businesses and be very predictable until they forget about us.” “We can do that Massimo.” “Thank you, sweetheart.” “For what love.” “For being with me in this.” “I’ll always stand by you Massimo, always.” Then I kissed her, unfortunately it was a quick kiss because all the men came streaming into the apartment.” “Guys go to my office so long we just waiting for Damon, Liam, Paul and Ghost.” All the men greeted Rachel and went to my office. My office had a door you slide open to make a bigger room. When I got into the office with Damon and his men, Luca already opened the doors for me, there was enough space for all of us.
“Okay Massimo what’s going on?” Damon asked. “Everyone’s phones were checked before you came in, right?” I asked “Yes off course” “Okay, this afternoon I was trying to think why the Ricci’s would have 10 girls stay behind with a pathetic bodyguard and send us into that trapped. Then it occurred to me maybe they were trying to set us up for the human trafficking ring and it was not just an attempt to kill us. All of us in the same place with 10 girls. That would take the heat of them and the whole thing will go away because we are dead with the girls. Then I contacted my source he worked his sources and yes, the NYPD has a special task force allocated to only work on the Ricci’s. Unfortunately my name and your name has came up Damon, that’s why we should stay clear of the Ricci’s. They knew we had men watching them. That’s why I called you all off. My source said we should try and keep our noses clean because we are on their radar. So, guys we need to go to business as always.” “We can’t stop looking for the girls Massimo, what about Danielle’s friends?” “Damon, we need to have a separate conversation.” “Okay I’ll wait.” “Luca you assign the men to their normal duties, just be more vigilant guys and we also still need extra security outside.” “On it boss.” “Then my men can leave.” All my men left the room and left me with Damon and his men.
“Damon, Frank also told me everyone is looking for Danielle, the police, FBI as well as the Ricci’s he said if she is with us, we should protect her. “My God Massimo.” Damon put his hands in his hair. “I can’t keep her locked up in the penthouse forever Massimo.” “I know that Damon, I’m sure the girls will come up with a plan, that we can decide upon.” “Is that why you asked me to bring her with?” “I thought hearing everything from Rachel will make it easier. And if they make plans of their own, she will feel like she’s in control of something Damon.” “I can’t argue with you there.” Damon said. And Ghost, Liam and Paul need to know what’s going on to protect you, your business and Danielle.” “Thank you, Massimo.” “I will still work my sources, Damon; we will find Nikki and Hannah. I won’t stop until we find them.
Now let's go find out what the girls came up with, Damon.
