Alex's POV
I got really tired of waiting for those assholes to give answers about the Black Snakes.. the time is ticking. It was only a matter of time before they decide to f**k us up even more, but that can't happen before we're ahead of them. I decided to go talk to the boys down in the lockup. I saw Alessandro on the way down but not much conversation took place since he was in a hurry to get somewhere. Apparently he has plans..
"So, anything new yet?" I asked Antonio who had just come out from one of the rooms.
"No, and I don't think they are lying anymore, they have never met the real boss. They only know one of the men who they think is the boss's right hand. Enzo Valentino, but that's all they know"
"Does anyone know what their plan was, or did they just follow orders they were given?" I asked Antonio
"Non that they were aware of but apparently one of them overheard Enzo talking on the phone"
"Well?"
"All he understood was that they were trying to kidnap you so someone would come down to New York to help you. So, they had that guy following you around just to keep tabs on where you are"
"As we discussed that 'someone' is probably my dad so they could kill him & take over the business"
"But obviously they failed because we caught Mike"
"We have no use of those two then, just finish them and leave their bodies somewhere they can be found and make sure people know it was The Salvatores" I said before turning around but Antonio had more to say.
"Oh, by the way, there was also a number I got out of one of them" Antonio remembered.
"What for?" I asked.
"I don't know, and neither does he apparently. He just overheard it. 930325 I think it was, I wrote it down. Security stuff perhaps?"
"Well that dude does overhear a lot of stuff doesn't he? See if there's anything else he's hiding, otherwise just get rid of him. Also ask the other one about Enzo and the number and see what he will say. Maybe we get something new. I'll also get Mike on the code, just send it to me" I said before leaving.

Meanwhile at Elijah's Club
"Who was that chick?" Enzo asked as he walked in my office and took a seat, inviting himself in.
Enzo Valentino. Gets comfortable too quickly. Self-centred asshole, a lot like me. My right hand and best friend. I trust him with my life, and he trust me with his, but sometimes I want to put a bullet between his eyes for being.. how can I put it... well for being Enzo…
"Alex something, Jones maybe. I don't really remember" I replied scratching my neck and stretching my body.
"Oh, wow slow down, that was way too many facts" Enzo replied sarcastically "I still have no idea who she is"
"Makes two of us then" I replied still thinking about last night.
"And you let her stay the night !?" Enzo asked shocked
"I swear to god Enzo if you don't shut up soon" I groaned.
"Okay fine but are you high or something. Like who the f**k are you? You just let a chick spend the night. The Elijah I know would have kicked her out as soon as he was done, and now you are telling me that you didn't even know her?! She could be a spy for all you know! Even a cop! Wait don't tell me you're turning into a p***y and have a weak spot?" Enzo cried immediately creating stories in his mind.
"I swear to god Enzo if I get a hold of my gun you're-" I started but Enzo cut me off
"Okay don't finish that sentence. But seriously bro. What if she was a cop or sent here to do some s**t?"
"Okay chill your balls if you have got any left. The girl just ditched me okay..? If she was a spy or a cop she would have probably tried to stay around." I replied.
"Or she's trying to do the opposite & use some reverse psychology shit.. I have read a bit about that recently- Wait wait, hold up. Did you just say she just ditched you?" Enzo laughed stretching the 'she'.
"va bene coglione, we get it." I said getting really annoyed by him now.
(okay asshole)
"She is a keeper bro" Enzo laughed.
"Get me her number"
"Bro, it’s not my place to ask your girl for you" he replied still laughing but getting a bit suspicious. I was never the one to repeat a girl yet ask for their numbers.
"If I could ask her myself I would but she won't give me an answer, so just look the damn number up" I said through my teeth.
"She's already keeping you on your toes?" He chuckled once again as I remembered her fire last night. She was something else. She wasn't afraid of me, yet she wasn't desperate..
"Yeah sure, I'll get you the number. That will be easy when I don't know s**t about her.. do you have anything.. a full name..? Age? Anything you know?!" he asked snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Just look up a Alex, I think it was short for Alexandra. You saw her this morning so check the pictures and age around 20 probably."

Alexandra's POV
I had just got home. It was almost 11pm. I stayed late with Mike and Antonio trying to figure out what that code meant.
What the hell could 930325 mean or stand for?
I couldn't think straight anymore.
I was up almost all night yesterday and stayed at work for more than 10 hours.
My head was about to explode, so I headed home.
Camila didn't seem to be home which was kind of weird since she didn't tell me she had any plans. Usually she would say too much..
After a relaxing, hot shower I dried my hair and changed into some soft pyjamas getting ready to peacefully go to bed. But if course someone has to f**k it up.
"Alex!" Camila yelled barging in the room.
"What happened?" I asked worried sitting up.
"You and Alessandro are turning 21 in a few days and still have nothing planned for your day and you are trying to sleep?!"
"Cam I swear to god one more sentence about my birthday-"
"But..."
"I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL KILL YOU I DIDN'T GET ANY SLEEP ALL NIGHT AND WORKED ALL DAY" I yelled
"OH MY GOD YOU DIDN'T FILL ME IN ABOUT YESTERDAY!"
"Yeah maybe because I was working all day, idiota.."
"Okay I get the hint, I'm leaving you to sleep but I want a full story tomorrow"
"You're gross- Just get out" I said laying back down and putting a pillow on my face to hopefully block out all the light and sound.
"GOOD NIGHT BOO LOVE YOU" She yelled as she turned the lights off
"Finally," I sighed
Not even a few minutes later I heard my phone go off.
For real?! Who the f**k is texting me now? It's 4 f*****g am!
I reached for my phone and unlocked it, I found a message from an unknown number which was weird since I only give this phone number out to close people like family and people in the business.
Unknown number…?
Good evening mia belle
Oh, it’s the asshole..
Who is this?
Ouch.. you don’t remember me?
No.. a lot of people call me beautiful
So, you do speak Italian.. well does Elijah ring a bell?
Oh, the douche from the club?
Won’t you ask how I got your number?
No, I got bigger things to worry about than a crazy stalker
You sure you can find bigger than..?
I will pretend that I didn’t read that.. but if you reaaally want to know… there are
plenty : )
So, you don’t care about why I’m texting you right now?
Right now, all I care about is sleep, if I feel like contacting you when I wake up then I will, love.
“Love”…? That’s new…
I guess we are going back to douche then.
Good night mia belle
