As I entered the office next to Don Sartori, soon his Counselor arrived home and began to analyze each role played.
I kept away with Jack in the corner of the room, waiting for orders, within an hour after looking through several papers I watched the man turn red, the two start destroying things in the office and call some soldiers to take the things they say are important.
I exchange a sideways glance with Jack, curious to understand what's in these papers, but I prefer to wait.
“I hope you're looking forward to the Giacomo wedding.” I lift my head, confused by the man's abrupt change. “You're taking over the Riina business in New York, so I hope you don't mind running out of honeymoon.
Seriously and I feel a mix of emotions, damn…. taking over the nightclubs and allying my family's drugs with them will generate a commotion within the organization, they will see us with different eyes in the face of this show of confidence from Don.
- Of course sir. – He approaches and extends his hand, kissing the organization's jewel. - Thank you for the trust godfather.
I speak with my head down, receiving a squeeze on the shoulder to fix our gaze.
- Consider it as a gift for your loyalty - He snorts running his hand through his hair - Looks like this is missing, prepare to chop off heads son.
I nod in agreement with his orders, understanding that his witch hunt is about to begin and he's finally going to put me off the radar by his side.
“Jackson, I can't do without my enforcer at headquarters so I believe I can sort out this mess and handle this part of the estate. - Says seriously in an order, facing my brother.
“I'll do my best, sir. He nods and leaves the room.
We stood there like two statues looking at Bernardi, pissed off separating some more things. He stops staring at us and starts moving a box towards the exit.
— It's not a pretty way to rise through the ranks under someone else's betrayal — I arch my brow, after all I didn't ask for anything. “But make good use of the opportunity, Giacomo.
— Count on it Bernardi. - I answer succinctly waiting for him to leave.
I stare at Jack in astonishment shaking my head and then we hear some screams, run in the direction and find a man being beaten by the Don.
“Fuck, the old man is really pissed off,” Jack mutters in my ear.
I contain the answer by watching the man.
Before long, he opens his mouth and begins to say that they did a file burning since the Riina had some kind of agreement with Ortega, informing him about his property within our territory as proof of the betrayal. To finish with a flourish, the man says that Salvatore Riina killed Stefano for discovering the connection with the Mexicans and that Mario broke an agreement with Ortega himself, who decided to deal with the situation by killing the two traitors.
But the Don's fury has not been contained, he wants the head of someone angry for not having killed the rats. We got some more information from the man, and organized everything to invade the mansion, which only made the Don angrier since there were few men and Ortega himself was already far away according to them.
I waited for him to leave before I had to head back to the airport before dark with Sartori, and I hugged Jack so no one could hear.
“That old fox didn't swallow it whole.
"Well, find a way to make him swallow it." I don't know what the fuck they did to achieve this, but we need to move our own Giacomo pieces. - He replied pulling away and placing his hand on my cheek in greeting.
I squeezed his shoulder and headed toward Sartori's cars.
He won't believe this story, it's obvious that something was missing, hm... I need to find a way to participate in what he wants to look for in the documents, so I'll get an idea of what's missing.
It could be the perfect opportunity to take down the De Angelis.
