The Mafia's Obsession

Chapter 15

"Let's head back and think of the next way we will find her. And besides we can't let those two get away" she said heading out of the bush. Meanwhile in the taxi, Julia took out her tab and used it to order plane tickets to city F where she spent most of her life after her parents died. That was Niles hometown too and she knew his life will be easier there and they will be safer. She drove them to a hospital close to the airport to be treated first before their flight boarded. She knew they are safe because, it was a crowed area, and they can't be easily kidn*pped there. After setting down all they needed, she went to get Samantha to stay with them for two days before they all leave to city F

Meanwhile, Juliet got to their hide out and headed to where Niles and Martha were tied. She almost fainted in shock when she saw all the ropes they were bounded with cut to pieces. "She smiled "looks like a clean work of Julia. Guess I was too careless that's why" she said and looked for a secret place to call Rugger. As she wanted to dial him, her phone rang with an unfamiliar number "guess you know about it already" she mused and picked.

"You weren't able to keep your leverage against the girl right?" His cold voice said sending shivers down her spine. She swallowed hard "I agree I was careless, although I done have anyway to trace her anymore I will do my best" she said in a low voice to rugger disgust. "Your thinking is too slow! You think she will wait for you to attack her first before she strikes you? Looks like I have to find a replacement for you" he said. Juliet ears almost went deaf "find a replacement for me because of that b***h? Never! I must find that girl whether dead or alive even if its the last thing i do!" She swore to herself her breathing more laboured.

"I think a little boot will help your brain......." Rugger's voice brought her back to reality. "Even if you don't know where she is, there must be someone who does....." He said and Juliet got a wind at once! Yes! That was it! Advertise that whoever has an information about her or knows where she is will be rewarded heftily. Joy shrugged within her as she tried to thank him, he hung up on her. "Julius!" She called on the top of her voice. "Paste Julia everywhere.........on the newspapers, billboards, news.....in fact everybody must know. Whosoever can bring an information on her or tells us where she is will be rewarded with fifty million!" She shouted hastily in excitement.

Meanwhile, Julia headed back to her hideout with the old couple and their son. She had learnt that they were hiding because, Myron involved himself with robbers and during an operation, they shot and killed someone and they were caught. Although Myron wasn't the one who shot, he was arrested. How he escaped from prison, she doesn't know but Myron was running away from the long arms of the law. She pitied them and wished to help but she was helpless because she isn't a big shot or a lawyer.

One evening, she came back from work to meet the old couple wearing a long face. She looked around but didn't find Myron, her heart skipped. "Oh dear! Thank God you are back! I thought they have taken you" the old woman hugged her sighing in relief as she came in. "Take me? Hope all is well? Where is Myron?" She asked looking confused. "This isn't about Myron, its about you!" The old man said. "Me? How?" She asked. "Take a look at this paper....." He said handing her a newspaper.

As she read through it, a smirk appeared on her lips "looks like this girl won't let me off easily, and I don't think I will too! Offering fifty million just to get information on me?" She scoffed. "Fifty million........." Myron who was just coming in whistled. "Shut up Myron! Its only money you hear about everything that's why we are in this situation today" his father scolded. Myron put on a hurt expression and hurried away. Julia felt guilty "you shouldn't have been too hard on him. He's just acting according to his age, you shouldn't blame him" she said looking softly at the old man.

"But the most important thing here is your safety! Why still thinking about him?" He said. "Don't worry I will be okay........no matter what she does she won't know am here except one of us tells her, because this place is well hidden" she said taking the old man hands in hers. "Don't worry, even if they catch me, I will ensure you guys are safe and not getting dragged into this" she assured them. "Alright if you say so" the couple mumbled in unison and headed inside to sleep. Julia yawned and laid down on the couch which was her bed, and soon enough she was fast asleep. Myron creep out with a sheet of paper and a pen and hurriedly jotted down the address on the newspaper.

The next morning, Julia headed to work early so did the old woman who who works as a cleaner in a nearby industry. The old man was still sleeping, Myron who was always the last to wake up was already up and he hurriedly prepared and disguised before heading out.

He headed to the address he copied on the piece of paper. It was Julia's family company that was bought by the harness group. Myron stared at the building greedily for a long time before striding in. He headed for the elevator as soon as he stepped in, but he was quickly stopped by the receptionist "hello please who are you here to meet with?" She asked politely in a sweet voice. "I came here to see your manager." He said disdainfully and irritatedly.

"Do you have an appointment?" She pressed further. "No" he snapped. "Then......am sorry you can't see our manager without an appointment" she said still beaming with smiles not minding his rude behavior towards her. His face turned cold "tell her I have the information they are looking for" he said proudly. The receptionist eyes widened " yes..... Yes... Sir I will do so right away" she stammered and quickly rushed to call manager Roseline. Few minutes later, she came back "this way please" she said in the most polite manner.
