The war we are silently fighting will end up leaving people injured and we cannot defend everyone without protecting ourselves.
With those thoughts in mind, as soon as Hunter left, I locked eyes with Theo, Katarina sitting on the couch watching us intently.
“No,” Theo said, cutting through the silence.
- No what? – My sister asked.
— Pack your Katarina backpack, let's travel. - I answered
Her eyes widened at the sudden decision, but without any further questions she obeyed the order.
- You just want to kill us - The soldier started to walk from one side to the other, almost opening a hole in the floor of the apartment. “I'll take the Glock.
I smile at the man, Theo isn't sure what I'm planning, but he must have some idea, with the De Angelis surrounding us here and probably Don putting Giacomo to tests of loyalty, as he hasn't found anything inside New York to justify the bombings. , I'll need to take a tour of Arizona, take advantage of Salvatore's cousin starting to take over the territory to conspire the traitors by handing their heads over to the Don.
That way he won't question the marriage and will still be a kind man giving away the traitors' territory.
When Katarina returned with her backpack and documents in hand, Theo already had another backpack equipped with the weapons.
"Do you have any contacts at the airport?" – I asked.
— Bffff…. Now what question? He walked towards the opening door. “I wouldn't be a fucking mob soldier if I didn't.
I smiled at the arrogance of the man, with Katarina holding my hand, we went out to visit some old friends.
With one goal in mind, I try to push the hot biker out of my thoughts. Adrenaline and the risk of facing death filling up the lack of sick sex, it took Stefano seven years to educate my body his way and just a minute to break my soul.
Walking through the back of the airport towards Theo's acquaintance to board the guns without any police interference, I felt Katarina's hands sweating against mine.
— I think it's better to stay — She stopped walking, causing us to stop too — I… I… – she stammered — I don't know how to help you guys, I won't be useful in anything other than getting in the way I can put your lives at risk. risk.
I listened to Theo's snort, watching my sister's teary, worried eyes, she doesn't know how to survive in a world of fighting monsters.
Not so different from a few years ago when I was taken to a torture session, I remember well my husband's words "A random woman can't be a risk to my business for having a loose tongue".
Is a husband I must thank you for having raised me.
The clear whisper in my mind, plucked a smile from my lips, squeezing her trembling hand, easing her gaze so that she realized the sincerity.
- You won't get in the way, in fact you'll help a lot - I confessed.
- As?
"Do you trust me, sister?" - I asked your question.
“With my life.” A few tears fell.
- So let's go.
I pulled Katarina into a hug wanting to make up for her lack of self-confidence, released her and turned to the soldier waiting for us walking firmly with her.
As promised Theo spoke to his contacts and we boarded a small jet.
“A great contact,” I blurted out sitting across from him with Katarina at my side.
“Just because I've never been promoted doesn't mean I'm poor. - He looks angry
I laughed.
- Watch out Theo you're proving to be a great catch.
“Fuck you and your arranged marriages. – He snorted, running a hand through his dark hair – What's Diana's plan?
I moved my neck trying to relieve some of the tension in my shoulders, getting the Don's attention away from my brother is a priority, Vicenzo not so much depending on your reaction in the next few days, maybe it's even fruitful.
"We're going to kill Mario Riina," I said calmly, watching her reaction, feeling Katarina shudder beside me.
- He still hasn't married and his parents died in a conflict with the Mexicans in that region - Running his hand over the beard he's grown in the last few days, he continued - It's the last Salvatore.
"What happens to his possessions if he has no heir?" - I smiled at my sister's question.
“It's distributed among the Don Sartori's most powerful or trusted families.
“But that doesn't solve our problem of putting some traitor in his sights. – Theo responded promptly.
- It's resolved - I stopped facing the curious looks of the two - If the Salvatore family has any involvement or agreement with the cartel, we will have the reason for the attacks.
Raising a thoughtful brow, Theo sighed.
- It's all right? – She replied – How are we going to do that? – Without taking a breath she continued – I don't have any contact in the cartel that would be treason warning soon.
I started to laugh at his desperation ready to move one more piece within the game.
“But Riina and Stefano did. - I dropped the bomb seeing the immediate effects showing through the soldier's eyes.
“What the fuck did he do to you, to know that. - I noticed my sister getting tense beside me.
“I was his private bitch,” I replied, not at all afraid to admit how much I was used by him and his shitty interests.
The silence between us remained throughout the trip, if Don Sartori discovered that his own son was a traitor things went out of their way, Stefano's death could not be justified and his attention would turn to the death of two 'innocents'. .
However, if Stefano's death sounds like a 'file burning' with Riina, little Mario will take on the reputation of a traitor, with his death justified as an attempt by the Mexicans to solve the problem.
Convincing Ortega to sacrifice some of his men isn't going to be difficult, given our track record.
