The Mafia’s Code

Chapter 004- clean the mess up

LORD LANZA

I sat in my office as I lit my cigarettes so I could relax from my just concluded meeting with a client, just then one of my men came in and whispered something into my ears making my mood change in an instant. I forcefully blew out the smoke from my cigarettes as I made my way to my inner chamber, went straight to my secret safe as I pulled out my gold gun, which I use for special matters such as this.

That fool really thought he could go against the code by stealing from me? How could he be so dumb to forget the most important of all the mafia’s Code.

#code 101: Never steal from the gang - penalty Death

“Get ready, we leave by midnight,” I ordered as he left to get the others ready. It’s been quite a long time since I went on the field, maybe it’s high time I teach these scumbags a lesson. I always knew something was off about that Ethan guy, he’d always been the only one to rise up to challenge me and right now, I got him exactly where I wanted him, “farewell to the after life” Ethan Mchenry, it's definitely going to be a safe trip for you. I mumbled under my breath.

The day flew by pretty fast and by this time it was just a few minutes before midnight, I got my men ready, just three of them as I won’t be needing a crowd to take down that loser. We got to his apartment a few minutes later, barged into his room and as expected he was already making plans and arrangements to flee the city.

“Well, well, look who we have here,” I said as our eyes met, “if it wasn't the traitor Ethan Mchenry.”

“Lord Lanza,” he called his voice just above a whisper, “surprise to see me?” I said with a smirk on my face.

“Uhm… no…. Please have a seat,” he said, trying to act oblivious to why we were really here.

“What do you take me for? A fool?” I fired at him, but he just stared at me pushing me away as he tried to escape but was quickly sent to the floor by the blow of one of my men.

I bent down to his level as I pulled his hair forcefully making his already bloody face look toward me.

“Who did it with you?” I asked but he just shot me a glare

“No one,” he said, making me smack his face to the floor, as I stood up.

“Make him talk!” I ordered as three of my men got to work beating him up like a puppet. But he still kept mute, I knew he couldn’t have carried out the operation by himself, as no one could easily steal from the Alejandro group unless with the help of another person from inside, and all I needed was a name.

I turned to him, his face now red and bloody from the beatings but he still kept mute but saying anything. “You really want to give up your life for someone else don’t you?” I said my voice was firm and rigid.

But he just let out a sheepish grin on his face, “go to hell” he said as he let out a mocking laughter.

“Oh one of us would definitely be going to hell here tonight, and it certainly wouldn’t be me,” I retorted.

Just then a knock came from the door, “keep it down nut job, I am having a hard time sleeping,” an old lady’s voice echoed from the other side making us pause in silence until her voice faded away.

“Adîos Cabrôn” (Goodbye scumbag) I said. As I placed him at gunpoint, just then the door swung open revealing a fine young lady with blonde hair and fierce blue eyes, dressed in a beautiful dinner gown looking so sexy

“What do we have here?” I mumbled underneath my breath.

“I thought I told you to run!!” He yelled at her making her flinch but before he continued I pulled the trigger sending him to meet his ancestors. Our guest flinched in fear as she tried to move closer to his lifeless body. I said “Get her,” I ordered.

Making my men close in on her but she quickly took her heels, too fast for any of them to catch up with her.

I searched the house frantically for any clue that could make me know her identity, and there it was, a picture of her on Ethan’s bedside table. I stared at her beautiful smile as my mind pictured her in the gown she wore which accentuated her features, the sudden interest in her made my heart flutter.

“She looks like a sin I’d like to commit” a voice echoed in my head. “Find out who she is.” I ordered my men to give them her pictures and in a split of seconds they came back with her information.

“Ruby Wane,” that was her name, I smirk curved on my lips as I stared at her address. “We are going to this address right now, Move! Move!” I ordered as we all got into the car and headed that way. The thought of what I had to do to her made my heart sink.

#Code 105: there must be no witnesses- penalty death.

We got to the apartment and met a rugged looking talking lady there, making out with some guy in the couch. At the sight of us the guy quickly took his heels leaving us with the unknown lady.

“Who are you?! And how did you get in?!” She asked sternly but I just stared at her quietly, “Does Ruby Wane live here?” One of my men asked

“What do you want with Ruby?” She asked but that was the only confirmation we needed. I gestured to my men to tie her up, but she just wouldn’t stop talking and cursing which made me ask my men to tape her mouth as she was starting to irritate me.

“Ruby’s thug man wouldn’t let you get away….” But before she could complete her sentence her mouth was taped.

Minutes later Ruby arrived and the shock on her face when she saw us was so evident. I stood up as I walked closer to her “Ethan really had a bad taste in women,” I whispered in her ears as her scent enveloped me, making me want her for my pleasure.

One of my men asked if he could gun her down but I refused. I couldn’t afford to send such damsel six feet under just like that, I could use her for my own pleasure and bending a few codes wouldn’t hurt after all, I'm the boss,” I thought.

I ordered that they kill her friend but she quickly fell down on her knees pleading on her behalf, offering to do anything for me, just then an idea struck me making me let out a wicked grin.

I ordered the release of her friend but not after a stern warning which should keep her mouth shut. One of my men kept whining about the code and how Don Coti wouldn’t be happy about this but I got fed up and made him join Ethan wherever he was.

We made our way out as Ruby trailed behind us with my remaining two men leading her, we got to the car, knocked her out and zoomed off. At least I got a price for today’s outing. I thought as I stared at her as she slept innocently with a smile on my face.

“Hello Leonardo,” I called as I placed my phone in my ears.

“Yes boss,” his voice echoed from the other end

“Clean the mess we made today and make sure to leave no traces, I’ll send you the address.” I said as I hung up the phone.
