Chapter 28 Pester my brother

Shit! He checked his ass and found that they didn't do anything last night. Phew, what a relief. He was almost paranoid of it but a small part of him wished to feel Vincenzo in him again. 

However what shocked him the most when he woke up was that his entire apartment had been cleaned out. What the fuck??!! 

Did Vincenzo do this? 

"Shit!" Wade felt like he was in someone else's room. 

What a freak, coming in here, accompanying him to drink and then cleaning his apartment out. What was his motive? Annoying shit, Wade cursed. 

Luckily he didn't have anything confidential to criminals in his apartment. Or who knows what might happen?There was a sticky note stuck to his fridge. 

You're the annoying shit who can't take care of himself

Huh? Vincenzo had anticipated what he would say hence he wrote this. Wade chuckled, shaking his head as he left the note there and walked off into the kitchen. 

Then he realized that the bullet was missing. He sighed, realizing that he gave it to Vincenzo last night. But never mind. It was just a bullet. What would he gain if he got it? 

He needed to put Vincenzo behind bars. He was a notorious criminal who killed lots of innocent people. However he was starting to waver. He said he wanted to find some shit on Vincenzo but until now he hasn't. Instead he ended up drinking with him. 

Shit, what has gotten into his head?! Wade slapped his forehead to stop himself from thinking about his dark eyes and magnetic low voice. Sexy, it is but he can find someone better. 

Meanwhile, a young girl dressed in an overcoat, adorned with a wide brimmed hat stepped through the gates of the mansion. 

"I'm back!" Francesca Luciano's voice echoed throughout the mansion. 

"Welcome back, miss!" 

"Welcome back!" She was greeted by the maids and guards, treated like a princess. 

"Where's my brother?" 

"Upstairs. In his office," Alvin went to greet her, smiling politely. 

"Aw, nice to see you Alvin. How long has it been?" She hugged him. 

"Hahaha. Some years, five I think since you left for university overseas," Alvin laughed. 

"Yeah, hell of a long time. I'm going to pester my brother,"

"Go ahead," Alvin gave her a light push on the back. 

"Vincenzo, don't you miss me?" 

The door was flung open and a girl spreaded her arms wide, charging towards him. He looked at her with a gaze that says you're annoying. She stopped in her tracks, looking disappointed. 

"Come on! Don't look like someone has died. Wait, did someone die?" Francesca asked. 

"What are you here for?"

"Are you kidding me? I'm your sister so of course I'm here to stay with you. Dad told you to take care of me, remember?" She reminded him sweetly.

"How old are you?"

"I'm nineteen,"

"So why am I taking care of you?"

"Because I'm cute?" She giggled, annoying him further. 

"Shit. Get out. I'm busy. Tend to you later," Vincenzo pushed her out the door. 

Left alone, Francesca decided to bother the others for the latest gossip and news. 

"What has my brother been up to?" Francesca saw Maya walking pass and pulled her to the side.

"Well, I.. uh..." 

"Tell me, no lies," she pointed at Maya, warning her with a playful tone. Although they were a crime family, some of the members were quite close to her. Take Maya for example, who practically grew up with Francesca. 

"He brought a man home, and he ate breakfast and even personally carried him," Maya said in a hushed whisper. 

Francesca's eyes widened, disbelief written all over her face. 

"What the hell?!"

"I'm not lying," Maya put her hands up. 

"A man!?"

"Shush! You can't let anyone know that you like another man,"

It was a taboo that was set in place by Vincenzo's father because one time one of the gang members did it and lost focus on the mission, losing an important deal. Out of anger, his father killed the two lovers and made it a rule to never allow something like this to ever happen again. 

However, Vincenzo always went against his father. Perhaps if his father had paid more attention, his mother wouldn't have committed suicide.

"Fuck me to the moon," Francesca shook her head. 

………

"Yo, new case. Two men killed and dumped in dumpsters. Housewife found them when taking her trash out. Who's going?" One cop said, tapping on the desk.

"Another one? Why does it seem like there are more and more murders recently? What's happening to society?" Jenna asked. 

"Society is getting worse and many people are resorting to crimes to live a better life. How sad," Greg said. 

"I'll go. I'm free anyway," Mark offered.

"Count me in," Greg raised his hand. 

"Hey, chief. Wanna go? Another murder," Mark knocked on the door.

Wade was sitting in his office with nothing to do. He had completed his work early and came to the station to get his mind off distracting matters. 

"Come on. You looked so lifeless," Mark said. 

Mark dragged him to the crime scene, they followed the usual procedure. Then, Wade noticed that something was off. 

"They weren't killed here. Seems like they were killed near the sea and dumped here, far away from the sea or anywhere with water," Wade suspected that because there were traces of algae that only grew near the sea. 

The dead man was clutching something in his hands. Wade put on a pair of gloves and used a pair of tweezers to extract it from the victim's hand. 

A bullet. 

A brand new bullet that hasn't been used before. What's more was that the bullet was similar to the one he had found. Vincenzo's bullet. Was he involved in this too? Not far away, they saw many stores. The stores nearby stood tall against the backlight. 

"Let's go for questioning," Wade gestured at the building with his chin. 

As Wade walked into the shop house, he noticed an imposing figure not far from him, leaning on the counter. He was looking at him with a smug look.

"You again," Wade glared at Vincenzo. "What are you doing here?" 

"A coincidence. Yesterday we had a great time," Vincenzo propped his chin on his palm.

"We did. But now we are back to being at each other's throat. I'm not going to associate myself with you. That would only make me a criminal," Wade glared at him.
