Chapter 4

     Detective Andrew and his team continue to search for them, trailing them, and they came across another abandoned warehouse, and they entered the abandoned warehouse, his footsteps echoing through the empty halls. 

The smell of dust and stale air hung heavy in the atmosphere, creating an ominous ambiance. 

The detectives had been on the trail of three notorious mafia members for months, and this was the moment he had been waiting for.As he explored the hideout, he noticed signs of recent activity discarded cigarette butts, half empty coffee cups, and a faint scent of cologne. It was evident that the mafia had been here, but where were they now?

Meanwhile, Alfred, Alexander, and Felix were each staying in different hotels across town. They had purposely chosen separate accommodations to ensure their safety. They knew the detective was hot on their heels, and they couldn't afford to be caught together.

Alfredo, the mastermind behind their operation, was staying in the luxurious Grand Vista Hotel. He lounged in his suite, sipping on a glass of expensive whiskey, and chuckled to himself. "That detective will never catch me," he said confidently to his reflection in the mirror.

Alexander, the muscle of the trio, occupied a modest room at the downtown motel. He paced back and forth, his adrenaline pumping. He knew they had to stay one step ahead of the detective if they wanted to continue their criminal empire. He picked up his burner phone and dialed Felix's number.

Meanwhile, Felix, the con artist with a silver tongue, sat comfortably in a cozy bed and breakfast. He reclined on a plush armchair, his eyes fixed on the sunset outside the window. Suddenly, his phone rang, interrupting his peaceful moment. He answered with a smile, knowing it was Alexander on the line.

"Hey Felix, have you heard anything from Anita?" Alexander asked anxiously.

Felix's expression softened as he thought about his daughter. "Yes, I spoke to her earlier. She misses me," he replied, his voice tinged with longing. "I promised her I would be home soon. We've been apart for too long."

The conversation continued as the two mafia members discussed their next move. They knew they had to regroup and plan carefully to evade the detective's grasp. They agreed to meet at a safe location outside the city, away from prying eyes

Unbeknownst to the mafia, Detective Andrew had been listening in on their conversation. He had managed to tap into their communication channels, gathering vital information. He knew they were planning to reunite and devised a plan of his own.

As night fell, the detective positioned his team near the designated meeting spot. He knew he had to catch the mafia members off guard. His heart raced with anticipation as he waited for them to arrive, 

But at the end of the day, they changed their mind and returned to Alexander's safe house on the mountain,  

A few hours later, and just as the detective was starting to lose hope, he spotted three men coming towards their direction, and the detectives had finally reunited.

 The detective signaled his team, and they moved in for the arrest, but they were disappointed to see that the three men were hunters, not the criminals they were waiting for, 

The team of detective sat down for a while, and left to their office, 

Meanwhile, the three notorious mafias had restrategetized their movement, and they met at the airfield where the helicopter picked them,

Before the three notorious mafias, Alexander, Alfredo, and Felix, arrived at Alexander's secret house on the mountain, Alexander had dispersed all his boys and made sure that there was nothing incriminating left in the house.

 As the helicopter dropped them off, the pilot quickly departed, leaving the three men standing in front of the secluded home.

Felix's heart raced with anticipation as he thought about finally meeting his daughter, Anita. It had been three days since he last saw her, and he had always worried about her well being. Now, knowing that she was safe and healthy, brought him a sense of relief.

The door swung open, revealing Alexander, a tall and imposing figure with a scar running across his face. He greeted his men with a tight smile before gesturing for them to come inside. "Gentlemen, please, come in. I trust your journey was uneventful?"

Alfredo, a suave and well-dressed man, followed closely behind Felix as they entered the house. "Smooth sailing, Alexander. Now, where's my little girl?" He asked, 

Alexander led them through a corridor adorned with expensive artwork and into a lavish living room. The living room was furnished with plush sofas and a grand fireplace crackling with warmth. As they entered, Felix's eyes immediately fell upon Anita, who was seated on one of the sofas.

Anita jumped up, her eyes widening with surprise and joy. "Dad! Is it really you?" she exclaimed, rushing into Felix's arms.

Felix held his daughter tightly, tears of happiness filling his eyes. "Anita, my baby girl, I've missed you so much," he murmured, his voice choked with emotion.

Anita blushed, her cheeks turning a rosy shade. "Thank you, Alfredo. It's so good to see you both here. I've missed my father."

Alexander, ever the composed leader, cleared his throat and spoke with authority. "Now that we're all here, it's time to discuss business. The three of us have been instrumental in the growth of our empire, and it's time we solidify our position further."

Felix gently released Anita from his embrace and turned to face Alexander. "What do you have in mind, Alexander?"

Alexander motioned for them to sit, taking a seat himself. "We have a rival faction that has been encroaching on our territory. It's time we send them a message they won't forget. Alfredo, I need you to gather our best men and prepare for a strike."

Alfredo nodded, his face becoming serious. "Consider it done, Alexander. We'll make sure they regret ever crossing us."

Anita watched the conversation unfold, her eyes widening with concern. "But, Dad, this sounds dangerous. I don't want to lose you again."

Felix placed a comforting hand on Anita's shoulder. "I understand your worry, sweetheart. But this is the life we've chosen, and it's our duty to protect our family and our interests. I promise I'll do everything in my power to come back to you."

As the discussion continued, plans were laid out, strategies formed, and alliances strengthened. The three men, bound by blood and loyalty, prepared themselves for the impending clash. They knew the risks involved, but they also understood the importance of their actions.

In the midst of the chaos and danger that surrounded them, Felix couldn't help but feel immense gratitude for the reunion with his daughter. No matter the outcome, he would always cherish this moment, holding his little girl and kissed her forehead once again,
