Mancini's Way Chapter 38: CIERRA
As I drove through the unfamiliar streets of New York, I replayed the last few years of my life. I thought of everything I'd worked so hard to achieve. Foremost on my mind was the one thing that has been a driving force in my life since I was a young child, left orphaned after one night of unspeakable horror. It was this that had sustained me all these years. My need for justice has taken precedence over everything else until now. I thought of the push to succeed, the many sleepless nights spent planning and plotting even as a young girl. I'd set my course a long time ago and everything I'd done since then until a few short days ago when my eyes met his across a table, had been for one purpose and one purpose only. Now I am being torn in two. My past and my future seem to be colliding and I'm helpless to stop it. Once settled, I tried to prepare myself for the worst, but there was no way. Raw panic sat in my gut until it rose up in my throat and choked me. I ha
Mancini's Way Chapter 39: MANCINI
I had my phone to my ear before I cleared her building. "Adrien, you got Jaxx?""Yeah he's here what's up? Your message said it was important but was a bit light on details." "I'm going under for a few days, not sure how long exactly. I need you to keep an eye on my woman." "Come again?" They both said the words together and I could imagine them looking at each other like 'what the fuck'. "Who exactly are you talking about?" The slight snicker in Jaxx's voice told me they knew exactly who I meant. "Don't fuck around. Anything happens to her while I'm gone I'm holding you both responsible. She shouldn't have much to do since I'm her primary target, so it should be easy enough to keep tabs on her." "So what you want us to like spy on her?" "Is this fucking high school? No I don't want you to spy on her. I want you to make sure she stays safe.""You know we will. So, your woman huh.""I don't have time to gossip with you right now Adrien and for fu
Mancini's Way Chapter 40: MANCINI
I had way too much time to think, on the almost twenty hour flight to South East Asia. In between strategizing my play once I land, my mind was filled with the night before, and the woman who seems to have wormed her way into my heart, in such a short time. I called to mind all the stories my brothers told me about their relationships with the women they'd married. The fact that they pretty much knew the jig was up from day one, and how I'd deflected that as bullshit. I was only now learning the truth of their words. Back then; I didn't think it possible for one human being to have that kind of hold on me. Now here I was missing her already and we hadn't even had that much time together. I knew she played this heavily on my mind, because the bond hadn't been forged, not completely. That's the reason I now felt bereft, set adrift somehow, like I was missing a fucking limb. If she could make me feel this way after only one night, I couldn't imagine what a lifeti
Mancini's Way Chapter 41: MANCINI
We had men in place in the other known locations, in Kiev, Chechnya, Bosnia; even Kabul of all places. That cesspit is the last place you'd expect to hear of such things seeing as how they try to convince the world that they're such righteous upstanding men; lying fucks, they're just as depraved as the next guy. I had to time my hit perfectly to coincide with the others, which shouldn't be a problem since we'd done this shit before. Different locations, different faces, same sick crime. While the rest of the world was sidetracked with bullshit smokescreens, the children of the future were being exploited in some of the most despicable ways known to man. I stayed in the van three houses down in the dark as I waited for the go ahead from the others. Once they were in place I'll make my move and be out of here in a matter of minutes. Then I had to hang around and clean out the nest that my men had found with the other children that were being held in containers waiting to
Mancini's Way Chapter 42: MANCINI
I'd told her I was coming back for her, but did she really understand what that meant? Did she know that I intend to keep her? Because I'd left her before we could solidify things, there was no telling what was going through her mind. She's smart enough though to know that our one night together wouldn't end there. I'm aware of what she thinks of what she calls my womanizing playboy ways. Maybe she thinks this is just more of the same. Well I'm back now and she'll soon learn different. I smiled to myself as I ran a towel over my hair while walking through to my office. The flashing light on my message machine brought me up short. Shit, I hadn't spoken to the other woman in my life in three days either. Mom could wait. I'll catch her in the morning. It didn't matter when I called anyway. At this point she was still going to give me shit. I switched on the monitor with a stupid smile on my face and my heart beating out of time. It felt like forever since I'd seen her, and
Mancini's Way Chapter 43: MANCINI
I'm sure the vision would've haunted me for the rest of my life. As it stands, I don't think I'll ever forget this either, but at least I was spared that atrocity. I didn't need my imagination to remind me of just what he would've felt as he...fuck this. I made my way to the bedroom with my weapon drawn. I guess I knew what I was going to do after all. I'll think about cleanup later, right now I wanted to make her pay. I barely spared Cierra's sleeping form, a glance before making my way to the other side of the bed. I'll deal with her cheating ass later. I pressed my gun to his head, wondering what kind of man slept with the covers pulled up over his head like a bitch. My whistle in the still of the night followed by the sudden feel of cold hard steel against the back of his head soon roused him, and Cierra wasn't far behind. "Get the fuck up.""Hank?" She was rubbing her eyes and blinking from the glare of the light I had trained on them. "Quiet, I'll deal
Mancini's Way Chapter 44: MANCINI
She settled back in her seat with her hand held firmly in mine and dozed off. I felt at ease, relaxed, go figure. I haven't felt peaceful since I learned what went on behind the scenes in the world. I looked between her and the road as I drove, not believing the ups and downs of the last hour. How could life change on a dime like this? In my world life was about order, everything in its place. There was no room for mistakes and second-guesses. What if I'd pulled the trigger? What if I'd led with anger, as was my first intent? I could've harmed her. I squeezed her hand with a quick look at her sleeping face and settled myself. It was over, she hadn't betrayed me, she was still my woman; I don't have to destroy her after all. I hope to fuck I never experience anything like that shit again. Too close, too fucking close. I'd learned one thing though, since it seems I can't handle the idea of her with someone else, I'm going to have to make moves to claim her completely bef
Mancini's Way Chapter 45: MANCINI
She was perfection. We were perfection together. Her pussy grabbed my cock like it was made to fit me, only me. The thought of losing this, giving it up for any reason was anathema. All the rash emotions I'd felt earlier came rushing back and I appreciated just how close I'd come to losing her before we'd even had the chance to... I stopped moving and waited until she did the same. I had something to say and I needed her full attention so there would be no mistake going forward. "If you ever give what's mine to someone else I'll kill you. If you ever even think of it it'll be the same. I came damn close tonight and, I don't ever want to visit that place again in this fucking lifetime. So I repeat, don't ever betray me Cierra. Nod your head so I know you understand." I eased up on my hold around her neck and waited for her to obey. She nodded her head and I leaned over to take her lips, pushing my cock deep inside her while playing her clit with my thumb. Her pu

Mancini's Way Chapter 73: Epilogue, MANCINI
Christmas in New York! I'd spent the last week showing her the city. I had no idea the stalwart special agent was into this fluffy shit until I heard her giggle like a little girl each time her new sisters brought up Rockefeller Center and the abominable tree. Shit I hadn't even thought of doing in years was now on the menu. When she wasn't dragging my ass all over the city I was parked at my parents' house or one of my brothers. Ma is in heaven. She had them all eating out of her hand, the little sneak and I dared not piss her off or I'd have four angry women on my ass with their shit. She hadn't quite forgiven me for going to see Durant behind her back, and now she had something else to be pissed about. This was the third morning she'd puked up her guts and I'd finally told her that I'd fucked up her birth control. Durant to spite me, refused to put her ass behind a desk, so I found the next best way to get her there. Now I had her impaled on my cock with her
Mancini's Way Chapter 72: CIERRA
Oh good gracious, crazy man on the loose. He all but dragged me out of the restaurant and I didn't have time to say hello to the young man whom I'd finally remembered. He was an up and coming agent, we'd worked indirectly on a program together a few months earlier and that's why I'd had a hard time placing him. Minimal contact. Things had cooled a little during lunch but I felt his tension once we were leaving and we passed the table. He hadn't said two words to me on the way back to the hotel and I could feel a different kind of tension in the air when he dragged me into the elevator and pulled me down the hallway and into the room. He'd never touched me like this, with that sense of desperation. I didn't complain when he tore my nice blouse or at the way he dragged my slacks off and threw them. I did make a little squeak when he threw me to the bed and came down on top of me. He's so fiercely intense always, that sometimes I'm afraid he'd consume me with all h

I didn't even break a sweat when I drove into the enemy camp. The jovial, laid back husband was gone and in his place was a man ready to tear someone's throat out through their ass. I walked into the building like I knew where I was going, like I'd done it a thousand times. It was surreal to see my face on fucking posters all over the place. These fucks are demented. I ignored the stares and whispers as I headed to the big man's office."I'm here to see Durant." I stopped long enough to tell the secretary in the outer office but didn't wait for her reply."Sir wait you can't go in there." I opened the door and walked in on some kind of meeting. The man himself stood up from behind his desk. I could see surprise written all over his face but he wasn't prepared. "Mancini, what the hell do you want?" That's the best you can do after hunting my ass for ten years?I walked up until I was in his face or as close as I could get with the slab of mahogany between us. The
Mancini's Way Chapter 70: MANCINI
I covered her head and upper body with mine as glass flew and bullets rained down around us. I'm not one for emotion in the middle of battle, but the fucker was dead, he shot at my fucking wife. What the fuck! I waited for another break in the action and then with my body shielding hers, got her back to my car. "Hank I have to stay with my partner.""Stay your ass in this car I'll be right back." I went around the other side from where we'd come and looked for an opening. The shots had come from outside, closer to the water. There was still a good chance no one was inside with the girl if she was still here. The asshole agent was still out there where I'd left him I was guessing; amateur.I found a door and worked to pry it open. Inside the place was cavernous and the only light came from the moon and the stars through the filthy windows. I didn't have time to comb the place so I closed my eyes and opened up my senses. The first floor was too obvious so I ma
Mancini's Way Chapter 69: MANCINI
I sat in the room he offered and waited. It wasn't long before he came back with the kid in tow. "I'll take it from here thanks." He huffed a little but closed the door behind him when he left. The kid looked like he was about to shit his pants and I hadn't even started yet. I walked around his chair and stood behind him, crowding him. An old interrogation tactic to put him off center. I wanted his nerves shot by the time I asked him the first question. "Are you ready to go to jail for the rest of your life?" He turned his head and opened his mouth to speak but I shushed him. "Before you say anything, think very carefully. In another hour or so, your friend Sven is going to be released to his parents, leaving you and your little cousin holding the bag. His parents are already making plans to get him off the island and who knows where he'd go into hiding." I didn't know that for sure but I know how that type works. The truth is, unless this was a horse and pony s
Mancini's Way Chapter 68: MANCINI
I accepted the new information he brought and looked over all the Intel they'd gathered thus far. My mind was already processing and discarding. "You've checked the whole island and you've had divers out there already." I said it more like a statement. "Yes, that's protocol in a situation like this. Plus there were a few sightings near the beach." "What about these boys she was seen with?""There's nothing there." Not the question. I looked up from the report I was reading over and stared him down. "You have these boys in holding?" He didn't like the question and I quite frankly didn't give a fuck. "Yes, but we can't hold them for much longer. Without any evidence of foul play, you know..." Yes I know only too well. Another reason I resent the fuck out of law enforcement. They cater more to the criminal than the victim. Thank fuck I don't suffer from that stupidity. "And why have you come to the conclusion that they're not involved?" I almost expected him to
Mancini's Way Chapter 67: MANCINI
I leapt off the bed and headed for the closet where I kept my travel kit with everything I could possibly need for a job. "How long?" I didn't have to iterate, I knew he'd read between the lines."Four hours. She went on holiday with some kids from college. They went out on the town and she just disappeared from the club they went to. The girls didn't take any chances and sounded the alarm right away so at least we have that on our side." "The plane's ready I presume.""Yes, Tony has the location, you're heading to Bonaire. I don't have to tell you how important this is to me. Cassandra is a flighty little thing but she's dear to my heart. Bring her home Hank." "Send me everything you have." There had been a batch of murders involving cruise ships in the last couple years. Something not many people knew about since it wasn't broadcasted for obvious reasons. The assholes that be, were more interested in the money tourism brought in than preserving lives. I
Mancini's Way Chapter 66: MANCINI
"That wasn't so bad now was it?" I was dancing ma around the makeshift dance floor under the marquee she'd had set up in the garden behind the family home. The wedding I'd expected to have at the most ten people had turned into about seventy-five. Don't ask. Since Cierra had no real family, Gracie was her only guest and the rest were distant relatives and friends of the family that ma had dug up from somewhere. "No, it came together quite well for all the notice you gave me.""You loved it. I had no doubt that you could do it." I kissed her cheek and spun her around, making her laugh like a little girl. "She's lovely Hank, I'm proud of you.""How come?" That was an odd thing to say."Because for the longest time I despaired of you ever finding the right girl and settling down. The girls and I had many discussions about it and we all agreed, you were a mess when it comes to women." "What girls? Sabra and Star?" Figures. "And what was wrong with the women I
Mancini's Way Chapter 65: MANCINI
Whatever, I'll just have to talk her into staying put in the city. We pulled into the short driveway of the ranch style house just as the sun was going down. A middle-aged man came to the door and looked out. I would've known him anywhere since I'd spent a lot of time researching all the players in this game. I probably had a better dossier on them than they had on me, something for which I was eternally grateful since it was about to come in handy. He recognized me as soon as I stepped out the car and I could see the indecision written on his face. Fucker wanted to go inside and slam the door in my face, but the intrigue of my very presence kept him where he was. "I'm guessing no introductions are necessary, but you might be wondering what I'm doing here.""You could say that. What is this? Have you come to turn yourself in?" He grinned in a way only a demented spook could but I didn't return it."No." I let that sink in until the stupid look dropped off his face.
