Deep Desires: Miss Mafia

Chapter 2

The Salvatores

A gang formed 1963 in Italy. Started with arms trafficking. Later on, it expanded to an international organization guilty of racketeering, extortion, illegal gambling, arms and drugs trafficking, robbery, money laundering, murder, fraud and fencing. The Salvatores own a few casinos and hotels across America and Italy. Today they are the biggest and most feared American-Italian gang in America.

The mafia is run by Angelo Salvatore, the father of the twins and the son of Giovanni Salvatore, who automatically gave the leader position to his son when he was killed.

Angelo was 12 at the time so he couldn't take over the gang until he was 18. Gio's right hand was in charge until Angelo became of age. The current leaders are Angelo with Ivar as his right hand where both operate from Italy, while the twins are in charge of the American business with Alexandra as their leader.

Chapter 2

Dead.. or is he ?

Alex's POV

"What makes you think that?" My brother asked.

"You tell me how come they always know about our shipments that only members are aware of?"

"What if they simply have people following us around ? Hell, you were followed not even an hour ago. That asshole even had a tracker in his shoes that got burnt" Alessandro tried explaining but I wasn't buying any of it

"Alessandro, we are The Salvatores for f**k sake. Someone would have noticed it. Every member here is trained more than a soldier. But today was the first time we caught someone following us around" I tried reasoning with him.

"What do you think Mike ?" I asked one of our best men at the meeting. He snapped out of his thoughts and replied with "Yeah exactly"

Okay.. that was a bit strange.

"stai bene?" I asked.

(Are you alright?)

"Yes yes.. of course," he smiled as I nodded and looked back at Antonio & Alessandro.

Mike was always the one who payed attention and figured stuff out quickly.

He has the brains but not the best physical skills out there, which is why he mostly controls the tech part. But he's never the type to zone out or lose focus, especially not under important circumstances.

Come to think of it, he has been quite distracted for a while lately, but especially now that we're discussing the possibility of having a rat..

I looked at my brother with a suspicious look, and he had the same one on his face. I knew I wasn't being paranoid anymore at that moment.

"We should get ready for the shipment today" I said standing up breaking the silence.

"Wha..?" Alessandro started stupidly asking but I quickly cut him off before he f****d up my plan.

"The last-minute shipment at the docks, today" I said not removing my eyes from him, hoping he gets where I'm going with this.

"oh.. I meant.. wh-what time" He asked finally getting it.

"7pm" I said

"Alessandro, have an extra team ready for safety, it's a big shipment. Mike, I want you be out with us today, might need you more than usual since we will need a bigger time frame without the cops on our backs, so get ready" I ordered.

"Will do" Mike responded grabbing his stuff quickly heading out.

"Good save, brother" I whispered low enough for only Alessandro to hear as he rolled his eyes.

Of course, there wasn't any last minute shipment and my brother understood that after almost giving it up.

Being a leader taught me to trust my instinct, and today it's telling me that someone is trying to f**k us over. I just need to proof my suspicions and then Antonio could handle the rest.

We told Mike about a fake shipment, but we were going to show up as normal. However, I'm informing everyone else that it's just a casual training at the docks. Mike will be with me or with Alessandro & Antonio all the time, so he doesn't find out the truth from someone else. If the Black Snakes showed up too it would mean that it's game over for Mike.

We drove to the docks with extra men, if Mike were actually the traitor then he would have told the black Snakes about the 'huge shipment'. So logically they would probably come prepared. It's only fair that we are too.

We could perhaps catch the right hand or someone who could give us the information we needed. Now it was just a waiting game.

At the docks

"Think they will show u... ah s**t" Alessandro yelled with his hand on his chest as he fell to the ground as the sound of a bullet was fired. Everyone took cover as cars pulled over and a shooting started out.

How stupid am I, of course there is a f*****g sniper. Should have thought of that a bit earlier.

Antonio had already located him and worked on taking him down, but there were other people we still had to deal with.

"Cover!" I yelled while I carried my brother behind the car so someone would cover us.

"Alessandro can you hear me?!" I said almost slapping the hell out of his face.

"Ahh, that motherfucker can't even aim" He said while sitting up.

"Are you dumb?! Lay down you just got shot you stupid f**k! " I screamed at him.

"There is this thing called armour you should try sometimes" He smirked as he took the bullet out of his vest.

This family is going to be the death of me..

I stod up kicking him in the stomach for scaring me and ran to another cover and started firing at whoever was left & hasn't ran away yet.

"Cute you were worried" Alessandro yelled while taking his gun out and firing too.

Not even a few minutes later, all the attackers laid on the ground with similar injuries. Most of them dead on sight, but a few passed out.

Unfortunately, some escaped but I think we had caught enough people for now.

I had some men clean up the mess and some take the passed out and injured to the lock up. We needed information about their boss to take him down, so they had to get some medical treatment for now to be able to speak later.

As everyone was working on their jobs, I walked towards the one man who i didn't know what to do with.

Should he take orders like the rest or should the rest order him.

He was a brother to me. What happened? Why did he do this?

He gave me a look I was unfamiliar with.

"I...I g-gotta.. talk to you" Mike said almost looking ashamed.

"Why?" I said walking closer trying to control my anger.

"What do you m..."

"Why did you help them Mike?" I asked pointing my gun at him yelling.

Most people would have started begging me to spare their life or give them a quick death.

Not him.

He was standing there ready to face the consequences. As if he was ready to leave.

"Why?!" I yelled once more since I still didn't get an answer.

"For my mom, it was either this or them killing her"

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked almost letting my guard down, but I didn't let myself.

"They said they would kill her if I told anyone, and let's face it Alex they have the best damn security measures and technology so I wouldn't doubt it if they could hear us right now!" He yelled back.

"I'm not gonna ask you to forgive me if you don't want to, all I ask for is you taking care of my mother. She doesn't have s**t to do with this! Don't let her face my consequences." He spoke as his eyes become glossy from drowning in the salty tears.

Why does the worst s**t come out of the people we trust the most?

He didn't deserve this s**t.

No one does.

But the demons in my head, and the dark side don't agree.

'You can't control it, no one can' It yells

'You can however control your gang, not disappoint your father who trusted you with the gang' It screams in my head making me almost pull that trigger, before a voice interrupted my thoughts.

"You tell her" Alessandro said walking towards us, lowering my gun down with his hand and giving him a little friendly smile.

"You're free to go if you want out, but you're free to stay too. The choice is yours." Alessandro said.

Gosh when did he turn into such a p***y?

"I can't, they will kill her" Mike said.

I rolled my eyes looking away from them both only to notice a man staring at us a little distance away with his f*****g sniper getting ready to fire. After a few seconds I figured it out.

He was here to kill Mike for betraying the Black Snakes.

"Do you have a bulletproof vest on?" I whispered knowing I won't be able to shoot that far with a normal handgun quickly enough.

"Wh...”

The man was now ready to take his shot, I had to act quickly so I didn't give him the chance to pull the trigger. I did it instead. He fell to the ground screaming.

"What the f**k did you just do?!" Alessandro yelled

"Shut up and play along" I said through my teeth looking at them both.

I yelled for Antonio and told him to clean this mess up looking at Mike. I made sure to yell it out so the man would hear me.

Antonio had a terrified look, and so did everyone else around. But he did what he was told. Well almost. He carried him to our car, almost sprinting so he would stop the bleeding.

A few seconds later the man had driven off and disappeared.

"Are you crazy? You do realize that you just f*****g shot Mike? For what? f*****g omertà?" Alessandro yelled but I had to check on Mike first. I tried to only graze his skin, I didn't want to actually hurt him after all. But I might have shot a bit too deep because of the damn pressure.

"I'll explain later" I said running towards the car that Mike was taken to.

"Are you f*****g out of your mind? What the f**k is this about?! He's our childhood friend and you couldn't find it in your heart to forgive him for one f*****g mistake he did when you have done plenty in the past?" Antonio yelled as I ignored him knowing whatever I say now would only add fuel to the fire.

Few minutes later we were at the safe house. I got our doctor to clean Mikes wound and started explaining everything to them.

"So let me get this straight... you shot me in the shoulder to save me from a headshot from a Black Snakes member?" Mike asked.

"And they think that he is dead now?" Alessandro asked

"Yes and yes..."

I was proud to be honest. Not to sound egoistic but let's face it.. If I didn't shoot him he would have been dead.

"And you're proud..." Antonio said chuckling humourlessly while sitting back in his seat and rolling his eyes.

"Good job guys, you're starting to understand a woman" I said smiling at them.

"Oh no, you're one of a kind miss mafia" Antonio said.
