Chapter 139 Chaos
They say desperate times call for desperate measures.
Thus, Luciano had quickly recalled the tracker he placed in Sofia's necklace.
The one which resulted in turning the bunker to a research center.
Nonetheless, the men were armed and ready to retrieve The Don's beloved.
~~
DON!", one of the men called as he finally got access to the security camera he had been trying to hack.
The other men sat in front of the computers making sure that they weren't detected by the system.
"Any progress?!", Luciano asked as he came into the room, Andreas following closely behind him.
"There is sir, we've been able to bypass the firewalls and the encryption!", the tech guy answered.
"Good, good! What's the situation looking like?!", Luciano asked as he watched the security cameras one by one.
The tech guy was rather scared, aware of the fact that a very angry Mafia Don was breathing heavily beside him.
"I thought you said the tracker led us to this building. What's going on?!", Andreas asked, confused as it didn't look like Isabella or Sophia were in the building.
"There's a second page!", The tech guy answered nervously.
"Do they know we can see and hear them?!", Luciano asked.
"No sir, we bypassed the security but didn't trigger any alarms!", the tech guy answered.
"Good! Now get me visuals on my daughter! Can you do that?!", Luciano asked, his mind racing with several possibilities.
From the report Madam Paula gave him, they had simply gone to get ice cream.
He certainly wouldn't have expected it would result in him having to trace the tracking device in the necklace he had given his daughter.
'Who could possibly be behind this?!', Luciano thought, already promising the most torturous unaliving process.
"Yes, we can Don!"
"Look, look over here!", Luciano pointed as the tech guy clicked on the next page.
"Here, this one!", Luciano pointed as the tech guy moved the cursor.
Clicking on the frame Luciano pointed at, Sophia and Isabella popped on the screen, their appearances looking so disheveled.
"It's a modified camera! It should be able to transmit audio feed as well! Get me on!", Luciano ordered, looking intently at the monitor.
"Yes Don!", The tech guy said as he pressed a button, resulting in sound from the video feed.
"It's okay sweetie!", They heard Isabella's voice say to Sofia as she kept patting her back.
"Daddy!", Sofia called out, resulting in Luciano's fist clenching tightly.
"He'll come soon!", Isabella simply reassured.
She smiled in the chaos as Sofia talked again.
"We don't know who has them! Do you think this would give them away?!", Andreas asked Luciano as they watched Isabella hug Sofia tightly into her arms.
"Probably would! I don't know anyone crazy enough to kidnap my daughter!", Luciano replied.
"...And Isabella!", Andreas added.
Maybe The Don wasn't over their argument yet.
"Yeah, except it's not someone we're familiar with!", Luciano said as he thought.
"Wait, hold on to that thought, someone just entered the room!", Andreas said, pointing to the door suddenly being opened.
"Uncle?!", Luciano questioned, wondering why his uncle was in the building.
"What's Uncle Luigi doing in the building?!", Andreas asked as he stepped closer to the monitor to confirm he wasn't seeing things.
"Shit! They got him too!", Luciano said, banging his fist on the table as he concluded.
"Who could have such an Intel!?!", Luciano wondered, his mind drifting to the traitor amongst them.
His opposition had no idea he got together with Isabella. This confirmed Luciano's suspicion that there was indeed a traitor.
'It can't be Isabella, or can it??', Luciano thought to himself.
"What?, What's going on?!", Andreas asked as Luigi's body language wasn't identical to that of Isabella's.
He didn't seem like he was held hostage.
Despite his position in Luciano's operation and the fact that he could protect himself quite well, Luigi would still react in a certain way if he was held hostage.
"...Except!", Andreas connected the dots, failing to believe the conclusion he came to.
"Luciano always liked brunettes!", Luigi started as he closed the door behind him.
Luigi's sentence threw Andreas off, giving him the answer he suspected.
"Shit!", Andreas said, seeing that his suspicion was true. He looked towards Luciano.
Wondering why his uncle didn't seem the least bit bothered about being held hostage, Luciano became confused about what his uncle was talking about.
"Leave us alone!", they heard Isabella's spitfire voice say as she wrapped Sofia in a hug.
"What's going...!", Luciano tried to ask no one in particular as he didn't want to trust the suspicion he was getting.
"Pathetic!", Luigi spat as he approached Isabella's crouched figure with Sofia laying her head on her mother's bosom.
"You know! All that mouth would have been useful if your dear husband was here!", Luigi said, using his hand to stroke Isabella's face.
Seeing this, Luciano stood quietly as his hands wrapped into a tight fist.
"Are the men ready?!", Luciano asked.
"Yes Don!", Andreas answered as they watched the scene unfold.
"You know, Luciano eh
That damned nephew of mine...
I've taught him several lessons, yet, he doesn't want to back off!
This time, I'll take what's rightfully mine!", Luigi said, getting Luciano's attention.
If there were levels of shock, Luciano was going through every one of them as he heard his uncle's last sentence.
"What do you mean?! How can you say such a thing when you know he loves you to death?!", Isabella asked, also confused by the turn of events.
She would have never thought Luciano's uncle would kidnap them, or even say the kind of words that were coming out of his mouth.
It was a stark contrast to all the things Andreas and Madam Paula had explained before.
"Oh shut up you wench! What do you know?!", Luigi asked angrily as he began pacing the room.
"Are we moving out now!?", Andreas asked, since Luciano already ordered the men to be ready.
"No, not yet, I want to hear what he has to say!", Luciano answered.
He had opted to delay their sweep time as they already had their location. Luciano was intent on hearing what his Uncle was about to say.
Luciano understood that might be his only chance to hear his uncle's hate and resentment directed towards him.
"Yes Don!", Andreas answered, sending out orders for the men to stay on standby.
"The entire thing he controls! Every damn thing!
It was all supposed to be mine!!!!!!!", Luigi screamed as he came to a halt in front of Isabella.
"How does that have to do with me and my baby??!!! Huh?!?! We don't know anything about whatever both of you have going on!!!", Isabella said, equally raising her voice.
"Shut up, you don't get to shout when you speak to me!", Luigi said as he grabbed Isabella's jaw violently.
"Don!", Andreas called out seeing Isabella's face in pain.
"I'm aware Andreas! I'm waiting for him to give something up!", Luciano answered as his heart clenched.
