Chapter 50 A war
“We are at war gentlemen, with someone we have no idea who it could be.” Adrian announced to the room. “My authority is being challenged and I will not stand here and watch it be snatched away from me, or any of you, last night a body of one of my maids were found, it was dropped by a van.” He stated. "They are not scared, they mock us and because of that we need to make our authority better."
He played the video over and over again, he wanted them to see. Try and understand and see if we are missing anything.
I didn’t expect to wake up to be dragged to a mafia meeting and we agreed not to tell anyone about he footage, of Sarah hurting papa, we even made sure it was deleted.
“That’s not all, Elara is right, her papa was murdered, I had an autopsy done before the funeral am I made sure that I made the rest of the equipments used tested too, a drug was found in his system, one that made sure he didn’t stand a chance, it was all pre planned, the attack by the gang, they were a bait, and then the doctor.”
“Someone in the house did it then, no one walked in and out of the house when he was in bed; we made sure of that.” One of the guards stated
Fuck,
“No one in my house would ever hurt my father, we all know that and that’s what the enemies want us to think, they want us to begin to suspect each other, to begin to think there is a mole in the mafia and we both know there is nothing that kills a mafia faster than a mole, my papa will always say.” I was about saying when they utter the sentence in unison.
Never distrust someone you have always trust, because doubts only create problems.
My papa is a smart man, he has always been.
“Play the video again, this time a lot slower.” Manny said, manny is part of the mafia, he worked for papa too.
I watched as they played it, it was traumatizing having to watch the body fall off over and over again, they didn’t care about her, they didn’t have any respect and I didn’t even want to know what has been done to her, she would not be tested; she will not be checked, she deserved a burial.
“Stoop.” Manny whispered.
“What do you see?.” Adrian asked as we stared at the screen.
“Zoom in and enhance picture.” He said and they did as he said when I saw something, it was like a bracelet that dangled on the hand of the man that threw the body, it was so fast that I didn’t even realize that.
“The bracelet on his hand, that something right, I am certain they won’t just wear anything, it has to be custom made like any member of the mafia, we just need to find out who made that, or who can make some thing like that, put the word out there, and with the right reward, they will find the person that made it.” He stated
Form there, we can know what mafia my uncle is working with, we can know what is going on and how to take care of it.
“That’s smart, you heard manny, get started on that.” Adrian yelled through the room, I watched as men headed out of the room and manny followed them from behind to take care of this.
“We have to make sure we are safer, someone is watching us and the worst thing that can happen is if we think someone in this room is.Not a part of us, everyone here stands for the same thing, we want peace, we want the mafia to prosper.” Adrian stated.
“What will you like us to do?.” One of them asked.
I knew there are a lot of things to do, because we both stayed up thinking about everything, we were not able to sleep after what happened.
“We keep the perimeters tight and your uncle is smart enough to know that I will keep an eye on him because I don’t trust him, we need as he would like, but we will be careful because what we see is not what we what to see, it’s what he wants to show us, so we make sure that we keep a eye close an on him and the rest of the family, and eye on anyone that comes or leaves the house, even the stuffs because he will need someone to take care of his dirty work and if he can’t be out there in the eyes of everyone then someone will do it for him.” Adrian explained
I knew he is right about that, my breath hitches as I watched them continue to speak to each other.
My mind drifted off to my papa and Sara, he will be very disappointed that she did this to him, he will roll on his grave over and over again not wanting it to be true because he trusted her, we trusted her and we thought she was good, we thought she didn’t have any troubles like any other person, we thought we could trust her.
I looked away form them an I settled on the couch as I scrolled through my phone, pictures of me and papa, I didn’t have the mind to delete any of them, I didn’t think I could ever delete any of them, because I would never be able to recover form it.
That when a message popped on my screen; I instantly opened it, hoping it was good news form just about anyone.
Welcome to the family.
The message read and I looked away to stare at Adrian who’s back was turned to me.
Welcome to the family, he didn’t have any family, he is the only one in his family.
Was my uncle trying to mess with me?
