11. According to plan
“How is it going on in the Palermo province?” a strange man asked.“Everything is going according to plan.” Romano Rossi replied. He was seated in the visitor's seat in the office of one of the men of the black eyed scorpion. The man's chair was turned, facing the wall so Romano could only see his back.“How do you intend to take out Giovanni?” the man questioned again. He was smoking from a fat tobacco pipe, Romano could only see the smoke it oozed.“We are working towards that. It is a three step plan that involves his brother and his new nightclub,” he replied with an air of confidence. The plan was to take out Giovanni so he could become the mob boss of Palermo. The position he had been eyeing ever since Giovanni took over. The men of the black-eyed scorpion had contacted him months ago with promises of making him the mob boss of Palermo. He had just one task, to sell the secrets and territory of the city to them. The plan had been going on for many months now and they felt it was

“Can't sleep?” Giovanni asked immediately she stepped into the balcony. She shivered slightly in fear as she heard the voice. She didn't expect to see him there at that time of the night. “Yes. Something like that,” she replied as she walked towards him. They both stood by the rail watching the calm night in the city.“It's a beautiful sight,” Giovanni stated, looking ahead. She nodded at the statement, choosing to remain quiet. They watched the night in silence for over five minutes before she decided to break the silence.“Do you do this every night?”“Watching the stars? Most nights.” He replied.“I guess you have a problem with sleeping” He nodded at her question and when he realized that she wouldn't see it, he mouthed “Sleep is for the weak.”She laughed at the statement while he still held a neutral expression. “Sleep is essential. Too much of sleeping is for the weak.” she corrected, making him turn his attention to her. “I guess that is correct too,” he replied. He shifted o

“... and checkmate.” the man in the white suit said as she smiled evilly. He was playing a game of chase on my computer, and so far, he had defeated the opponent multiple times.“Life is like a game of chess,” he told himself, looking at his diamond crafted wristwatch. He stepped down from his chair and went to his little bar pouring himself a drink. Things in the city of Palermo had just gotten interesting to him.“I have legit Intels. Romano needs to be taken down.” Angelo stated, causing him to raise an eyebrow.“Why do I need to take down Romano? He's a family leader.” Giovanni reminded him. Cielo sat quietly at the table, listening to their conversation without butting in.“He has been having meetings with a nameless man regularly. Rumors from dark sources suggest that he's planning to overthrow you.” Angelo replied crisply.“Interesting.”“We need to act fast while we still can. Just give an order, and his head will be rolling at your feet.” Angelo stated indignantly.“If I were

Angelo nodded. He trusted his brother to do what was right, but he wasn't going to fold his hands and watch his brother's hard work flushed down the drain by some faceless cowards!“How long do you intend to stay here?” he asked, rising from the chair.“Tell the other men to report to you. We will meet at the safe house.” he ignored his question. Angelo nodded, knowing better than to ask questions. He walked into his car and drove off. He drove to his personal house where he was welcomed by Gia who came out to welcome him as soon as she heard the sound of his car. He was at home with her before he received the call from his brother causing him to run out madly.“What happened? What made you run out that way?” she questioned, showing concern. He hugged her, kissing her softly on the lips.“I've had a stressful day, I need to rest now. You should head home now,” he responded, holding her by the waist. They were currently in a relationship. He had been dating her secretly for over a week

—That was how she had gotten out of Giovanni's mansion and was now back to the base. She waited in her room for her boss to call for her. The driver had dropped her off about an hour ago after a short trip of complete silence. He didn't utter any word to her and she didn't bother starting a Convo. She had locked the door, stripped naked and gotten into the shower immediately she stepped into her room. She spent over two minutes in the bathtub allowing the warm water calm her tensed muscles. She sponged herself, before draining the water. Her thoughts drifted to Giovanni. Had he found out that she had broken away? Was he already looking for her? She knew he would already be looking for her. She didn't how how important the files were, but if they were important to her boss, then it would surely be important to him.She stepped out of the tub, wrapping herself in a big towel before walking over to her wardrobe. She took out a comfy baggy trouser and tank top and wore it before going to

“Huh?” She stared at him with wide eyes. She almost spat back her drink as he stared at him in surprise. Why was he asking her about it?“It was successful,” she answered plainly and he stared at her, not believing her.“And … ” he drew.“And I'm back” she offered him a tight smile and he stared back with a furious look in his eyes. He was always over-possessive of her. He had feelings for her and she knew it. They had gotten into a relationship some years ago during her first few years in the institution before she broke them up some months later. He had opposed her decision, but that was what she wanted. She didn't like the idea of dating.“Huh? Nothing happened?” he asked with a raised eyebrow, looking deeply at her like he could read through her. He suspected that she might have gone down with Giovanni.“All those little details are mine to keep or tell. What matters is that the mission was successful,” she replied calmly, looking at him deadbeat in the eyes. They stared at each ot

Giovanni leaned forward in his chair as he waited for Luigi to speak again. He tried to remain calm under the tension, but with every passing second they spent in silence, he got more agitated. He wanted answers, and he wanted them quickly.“I'm sorry for what happened to your clubhouse. I heard it got bombed.” Luigi started, speaking calmly. Giovanni hissed. News was always sure to spread quickly.“Thank you for your concern. That is one of the reasons I am here,” he replied, studying his host's facial expression. Luigi still remained unfazed as he continued speaking.“It's an honor that I am the first person you turned to,” Luigi spoke with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, Giovanni caught the sarcasm but chose not to react. He wasn't planning on losing his cool over trivial issues.“Somethings are not how the eyes see them. You said that” Giovanni leaned back in his chair, maintaining eye contact with his host. “I want answers, and I know you can provide them,” he added.“My answers ha

Romano rose from his seat and walked out, followed by some of his armed men. They walked quietly out of the building into the cars that were parked outside before driving off.“Get me through to Jack again,” he ordered one of his men who was sitting in front of the car. The man took out the phone and tried again. It still gave the same response. “Nothing, sir”“Arrrgh, ” Romano screamed. Get me to Giovanni immediately. Inside Giovanni's office, Angelo sat comfortably on the chair. His gun was placed on the table beside a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of liquor. He flipped through the files he had printed out of his laptop with full attention. A knock sounded on the door and he raised his head to stare at it, debating if to grant access to whoever was knocking. “Come in” he finally replied and the face of one of his men popped in, followed by his entire body. He did a little salute and bowed. “Romano Rossi requested to see the boss. He is waiting outside.” the guard informed. “I

“The target is sixty-five seconds away from you. Coming from the left.'' The man inside the car was informed through a phone call. He dropped the call and kicked the engine of the car to life. He cocked his gun before checking the time on his stopwatch. He still had some valuables to spare.The headlight of a car shone brightly from the left side of the road and he set his car into motion, ramming into the side of the car. The collision was heavy and sent a spiraling effect on the other car. He walked out with his gun cocked and pointed forward and shot a bullet at the driver of the other car. He walked closer to the car and yanked the door open. The driver sat in his seat looking weak and half dead. A bullet had caught his lower abdomen. The killer raised his gun and was about to fire another bullet when a gunshot sounded behind him. The effect was a sharp pain at the back of his head that sent a numb feeling through his body.Cielo Verrilli stepped out of the shadows, a gun in her ha

“How did you know I was being targeted?” Angelo asked for the fifth time since they started talking. He was laying on his back on the bed while Cielo sat on a chair beside the bed.“That is a secret, but let's just say I stumbled upon a piece of information that turned out to be pretty helpful,” Cielo replied.He wanted to ask more questions, but he just nodded in response. The questions could wait till later. He had to recover first.“You have some hours to rest. I'll be back by dawn. We have a lot to talk about if you wanna save your brother.” She admonished and got up from her seat. He watched her pick up some of her things from the table in his room before walking out of the room. He scoffed arrogantly as soon as she walked out. Who did she think she was?He helped himself out of the bed and walked to the table where his blood-stained jacket lay. His shirt was totally soaked in blood and lay in the waste bin. He picked up his jacket and checked the breast pocket, pulling out the ne
