In America.
Kate descended the stairs hastily, wanting to welcome her dad, he had gone to fight the great Dante the biggest Mafia lord in Italy and he had promised her that he would be back and have the whole mafia to himself. The idea had not gone down well with her, she was afraid, really scared. For years she has heard about the young yet heartless Italian mafia. Don Dante Montero. She has never seen him facialy but the stories she heard about him was scary. He had the largest mafia army, the most cruliest way of killing people and his mafia was always alert but her father and brothers had reassured her that they were going to come back and for some reason she reluctantly let go of her father.
Everyone downstairs had a loomy face,Katherine looked at their faces trying to find the reason for their loomy face she immediately knew something was wrong.Then it dawn on her two of her family members were missing one, her father and her brother Roland.
“ Anthony were is Father and Roland?” She asked Anthony scared of what his answer might be.
Anthony remained silent he just stared at her his eyes were bloodshot.
“Answer me! Were are they?” She asked again dragging him.by his collar. Just then Roland limbed in with Adivan he was badly wounded. She heavied a sigh, thank God that he was alive but were was her father. She looked at Anthony again.
“ were is our father!?”she shouted.
Anthony raised his head to look directly at her, he swallowed hard.” They have him” he said.
She chuckled lightly.”have who?my father? You've got to be kidding me.” Kate looked at him, expecting him to say something that would counter what he just said. His silence cleared the air, Dante had him.
“Anthony! You promised me!” She shouted breathing heavily.
“ you f*****g promised me!”she said dragging him by the collar.
She sat down on the couch looking at Anthony.
“ So they have him, so we lost?” She said more of a statement than a question.
“ Their men outnumbered us”
She gave him a very dry sarcastic
laughter.What an excuse!
“Their men outnumbered us. That is your response from your so called brilliant plan, their men outnumbered us and also took away our father. It seems you don't understand what you are saying, Dante's men did not only outnumber us they took our father, the Don of our mafia.” She said camly.
“ what happened to the men that protect him, what happened to you? Where were you when they took him? She shouted at Anthony her hands shaking out of anger. She was angry, clearly disappointed that they had her father. It made them look more weak than they were
“We will make a plan to get him Kate” He said after a long silent, sadness filled his voice.
“ yes, a brilliant plan not the dump one you shoved down our throat last time” she said gloatly and left.Anthony watched as his sister went upstairs shakingly.He felt horrible for disappointing his sister like this. He had never seen her this angry.
Its been a month since Kate's father has been held captive by Dante, he kept on sending videos and photos of their father as he maltreated him, the last video they sent was so bad that he was moved to tears, kate kept in telling him to rescue her father, nobody was talking to him and Roland was still recovering.
Anthony knocked at Roland's door, he entered even before Roland answered.He sat on the bed, beside Roland.
“How are you doing”He asked with genuine concern he knew his brother would find it awkward that he visited him.
“ I'm well as you can see, I will soon be able to start my training” Roland answered with a smile on his face. Anthony smilled back but his smile looked unreal it was plastered.
“So, what brought you to my room”Roland asked. Anthony has not visited his room since the incidents.Anthony’s worried face shaped into a smile he knew this question was coming.
“ Come on, I am not that bad, I came to see my younger brother” he said smiling.Roland rolled his eyes.
“ Come onn,Anthony face up”
“Okay, I came to check up on you and to tell you that I have offered Dante two thousand of our men in exchange for money and if he was not satisfied he could ask for more money”Anthony said waiting for Roland outburst, it was not a good idea but he could not think of any other solution.
“ Have you gone mad!” Roland shouted angry, rage filled his voice.
“Keep your voice low, I don't want Kate to hear about this” he said in a whisper
“ we just have 10,000 men if you give 4,000 to Dante we will be left with 6,000 and you know very well that 6,000 men will not be enough” Roland said in a low but angry voice
“ what do you have me do? We need to bring father home or else he is going to die in Dante's hand.In his last video he was badly wounded.”Anthony said trying to make him see reasons with him.
“ I don't know, think of something but do not destroy our Mafia after all you were the one who brought up this idea”
“Really? Now all you do is put the blame on my me?Seriously? Anthony asked in disbelief
“ look I don't want to have issues with you.okay! Just do what you have to do, if we send the men now we will just think of another way to get more men.” Roland said sitting up.
“Have you sent your request to him?”Roland asked trying to divert the tension.
“ yes, I am waiting for him to reply”Anthony answered.
“Okay”
Anthony eyes viewed the room.” Where's mum photo “ he asked
Roland gave him a nonchalant look
“I threw it away” he shurrged
“ really?” he asked.” You can't be serious she is our mother.
“ yeah. It's of no use I mean is not as if she bothered to form a bond with us while she was alive”
“ but she is our mother”Anthony said in a low voice trying to make him see reasons with him.
“Hellllo! That woman is literally the cause of our sisters nightmares or have you forgotten how we suffered?Roland shouted
“ No but…” Anthony began
“Oh f**k off, you can have her photo in your room all day to remind you of your mystery but this is my room and I don't need her name.okay?”
“Okay”
Adivan came inside the room wearing a loomy face he bowed his head.
“ He said NO”
“ what?”
“ He said NO, he doesn't need men who his own men conquered and he made it clear that he certainly did not need our money” he said
Anthony bent his head in grief” What do I do” he asked himself.
