Chapter 45 DEAD MEAT
DIMITRI
Power.
I'm super hungry for it. They say, “a Mafia Boss is nothing without it!” This is why I want all of it.
I want enough power. Lots of it.
Russia isn't enough. I want tonextend my hands to other cities.and countries, every places my power could get me.
It is what fuels me up and keeps me on my feet, and I would do anything to make sure I get it.
Anything!
“Hello, dear friend. How is the plan going? I hope I will have it all as promised…” I spoke hurriedly over the phone.
I had almost broke a sweat just anticipating his call and now I finally had it.
“Mr. Salikov….you know younare a powerful man but what you asking of is far more dangerous and powerful than what you already have…”
“Now is not the time to lecture me, friend. I told you I am ready for this. Every city here in Russia bows before me, Dimitri Salikov. I am their savoir and I can also choose to be their peril!!!”
“I do not argue that. You indeed control the buttons but like I explained in my previous message. There is a need to strategize. Violence and Politics. I need you on both sides!!”
I laughed hysterically. I had always been a fan of violence. Infact my Mafia men were dogs for that kind of lifestyle and always ready to bite their way into it for my sake.
“Violence resides with the Russian Mafia so let it go, I have that in full package. The onky problem is Politics. The only politics I run is within the Mafia, how can you help me out, friend?”
“Its less actually. I can arrange a meeting but you have to stick to the code we discussed about. If you play your cards well, we can get them on our sides without any much stress!!” He said in an assuring tone.
“You know I don't faulter on things like this.”
“And how about the other thing? Are we still on track?” He asked.
“Oh yes…I'm just waiting for my boy's call. I'm sure he already handled it and he is bringing the victory home to me,” I voiced out.
The call disconnected and a wicked smile covered my face.
“At last…..now this is why it pays men to have men worshipping you. The minute I get my hands into all these things, the world is gonna feel my wrath and bow at my authority!!!”
I paced the room, soliloquizing when one of my men walked in.
“And why are you here empty handed? What is all this?” I raised my voice at him.
He took a bow and mumbled some words.
“What the heck are you saying, boy? Where is my goddamn money?”
“Don't make me strangle you on the spot, boy. What happened to my money?”
“Boss…..they….erm…” he stuttered.
“Don't test me. I sent you to Carson Avenue to get the money from the clubs. You are supposed to get the money and deliver it to me here so where the fuck is it???”
“I was…I was hijacked, Boss….I don't know who they are but I suspect its the Blue Ivy again,” he stammered.
“Wait, hold on…..you mean….all the money was taken from you and you have the effrontery to come here and say those bullshit to my face up close????!”
“Uhn???!”
I tightened my fist and frowned my face at him….”This is complete bullshit. You all are acting like worthless idiots. Where the fuck do you all come from?”
“You allowed those weaklings bulky you and collect my money from you, just like that?!”
My voice almost cracked out of intensity.
“You didn't even pull up a fight?? Look at how fucking clean you are..”
“How am I so sure this isn't all your plan? You stealing from me, how? You stealing from Dimitri?” I asked in a loud tone.
I snapped my fingers that very minute and about seven of my close squad of Mafia boys appeared.
“How many of you know this motherfucker's story?”
“It doesn't check out, Boss. For all we know, he might be working for the Blue Ivy also,” one of them said.
“Oh, really?”
“Oh no no, Boss. That's not true. I don't even who these people are. They just stopped me from nowhere….
“Can you even hear yourself right now? They stopped you and there wasn't any struggle whatsoever?”
“No fights? No gunshots?”
I stared at him disgust whilst I signaled to oneof the other boys with my hands.
Instantly, his neck was snapped right in front of me…..
“What should we do to his body, Boss?”
“Dump it in the river….”
“I need to do something about the Blue Ivy, fast! They are beginning to switch on my nerves and they aren't like my sting if I decide to retaliate!!”
“We can get armed and attack their base, Boss….”
“Nah…we would draw them to us. ….I meed to show those fools why I am the Mafia Boss. If they want the position, they have to take me out first!!” I spoke with full confidence.
“Okay Boss….for now, take this body out of my sitting room….and get back here immediately. We have a lot to do..”
“And where the fuck is Mario????!!!”
“Or should I call my friend?”
“Oh no, that would be so belittling of me to call him again. He can't be everything…”
“I can do this on my own…its just sad I only have more of pussy bodies than actual men..”
I sighed…..”I need to recruit more men…men like Diego cause I can't keep relying on these set. They getting too weak for me to go on with!”
That same minute, I rang up Charles. He was my recruit guy. We go a long way back as we once fond of bringing able men into the fold.
Fodrunatelt, he made me realize Diego back then and since then, he is been a useful asset to the brotherhood.
“The one and only, how can I be of service, Boss?” He greeted.
At first, I thought of telling him about Diego but then I thought it through once again, “Nah, I wouldn't..”
“Charles, I ned your help. I need firearms men, stone cold, heart cold, bloody eye filled men….I need vultures!!!!” I aaid repeatedly to his hearing.
“You know I got you, Dimitri….I'd have everything delivered you in a truck in two days time..” he responded in a haste.
Charles was loyal and one of the swift dealers I have even though I know how hungry he is for the position I hold.
But there was never a time I showed him my vulnerability cause men like are always preying.
Just before I hung up, I suddenly heard a shout from one of the men outside.
“What's going on out there????!”
