Chapter 40
Jefe I said
Sit my darling ,he said.
To what do I pwe this visit?
First he said Monday my manners as he turned and pulled a tea pot from his table ,he poured it into a teacup and walked towards me ,itwas courtesy as he called it .
His dimple was visible and you could see ,a death look in his eyes ,you could never tell what he was thinking ,he relaxed by the edge of his table and gestured to me to drink .
I was frozen, I needed something warm so I put the teacup close to my lips and drank from it.
He smiled and said, "I have missed you ,you seem to be running away from me .
His face was still blank ,my heart was still skipping ,I push up a smile and don't say a thing ,I wait patiently and then I began.
Jefe(boss) Damien, I have not been running away from you, I had just been doing the 2ork you had put me out thereto do .
So what brings you home? He asked with his deep darling voice that echoed in my head.
One of ours had betrayed the flock .
He flashed a halve grin and his gaze moving away from me for the first time he walks and sits in his chair ,he pulls out a small black book and say .
You know the law.
Yes I know the law I answered back.
He asks who is the person of interest .
Steadi
Ying my voice I say to him ,it is Rico .
Which Rico? He asked looking confused .
I quickly remember,you can only call his full name .
Eric Payne I say and he writes the name in the black book and puts it away.
I will send a summon for him you will have to come back in two says to lay your complaint .
Remember the law he said with a smile and them he relaxed into his seat and pretended I wasn't there, I stood up and walked slowly to the door ,I could still feel his eyes on me as i did and he said ,two days.
The word kept ringing in my head ,it felt as if I had come to lay complaint against myself .
As I entered the car I could see lubo ,he was worried too,he noticed my calm expression was gone.
But this time he did not say a word he just drove straight out.
The speed felt like he knew being away from this place would Ease my soul.
We were on our way when I knocked the glass,it slowly moved down and lubo waited for my command straining his eyes with his eyes fixated on the road.
"I want you to take me to cherry hotel ."
He doesn't say a word he doesn't let the divider back up he takes a curve and steps on the gas.
This feels good. I wanted to see Rico before the summon reaches him.
I want to have a little chat with the little thief.
We arrive at cherry hotel and I walk down to the reception, a fairlady with a cute smile ,asked if he was expecting me ?
Yes I said and she called the room to confirm.
Miss what is your name again she asks.
Sofia Martell I tell her with a blank face .
She repeats the name and drops the desk phone.
"You can go up now", she tells me .
I walk straight to the elevator without asking her what room number he was staying ,u knew where Rico was staying.
I pressed 14 into the elevator pad and it began to move upwards.
I could feel my heart beat not out of fear but anticipation, I wanted to see the eyes of this traitor,I wanted to know why he had done such a thing.
I hear a ding sound and wLk of the elevator,and work straight to room 215.
I hit the door bell and the door opens,it felt like he was standing by it to open the door.
He had a smile on his face ,his blond hair and gray eyes were visible even though he was backing the light from the balcony.
To what do I owe this visit ,the ghost of El Diablo comes to my dwelling ,I am indeed special.
Quit it,we need to talk, now!!.
He looks at the ladies by his side drops the whisky in his gand and walks to the kitchen to get another glass.
He comes back to pour me a drink but I stop him .
I don't want a drink Rico, I want answers, the room has been cleared .
It was just me and him seating there .
Rico was more like a simpleton if you removed the blanket if the family he was hiding under.
"Talk ,he said gulping his drink .
I lost my shipment some days ago I began .
He looked at me side eyed and said I heard about it .
I know you did hear about it what I want to know is if you were the one who nested with it ?
He looked at me shocked and asked,have I ever done that before?
There is always a first time for every misdeeds and this old be one of yours.
Don't do this ,do you have evidence of what you are saying ?
I will not be here right now if I do not have evidence if your evil doing .
And I have gone to our jefe(boss) and your name Is in the 'black book of sins.'
What do you mean my name is in the black book of sins.
Yes Rico, your summon is on the way you will have to defend yourself in two days.
I tell him and then I walked to the door,something felt off about Rico, he was the kind who bragged about his conquest even when he was found.
As a blackship of the family,I knew this wasn't his style, he was the kind to make a show of things buy I n3eded someone to take the fall .
