MARCELLO FAMILIA[LOYALTY vs LOVE]

War 3

Frederico pov:

The Russians kept shooting at our helicopters, which we also fired back at them, though I saw one was down, crashing in the high trees somewhere. There were only 4 helicopters left.

Someone knocked on the window of the driver’s seat, and Amadeo looked and saw it was one of our men. He rolled down the window and saw he was holding five gas masks. I have no idea how this got here so fast, but damn do I love Aless right now. He collected them and rolled the window back up, then he distributed the masks among us and himself.

We wore gas masks and checked our ammunition on our bodies.

“Dario, you are with me. “

“Fabrizio, you are with Massimo.”

“And Amadeo looks for our products,” I ordered them sternly with my face void of emotions

I made Dario stay with me because he is a very skilled fighter and I trusted him with my life.

“Guys, can you hear me? “I asked my men (the ones in the helicopters and the two team leaders) through the earPods.

“Yes, king, loud and clear” They all replied

“Here is the plan: we are going in first and attack them, and immediately the masks get here, I want rest of you rounding up the building, and you all in the helicopters. I want you at alert. Kill any Russians. Capisce?”

“YES, king!! “

“Aless?”

“Yes, king”

“Get those masks here ASAP.”

“Yes boss “

The five of us walked towards the giant building, still wearing our masks. We pushed the gate open and walked in, and immediately my heart hardened, my fists clenched.

I saw my men lying motionless on the floor. Dead. Ivan was going to pay for this. We carefully passed them, walking toward the building in front of us, which for the most part had collapsed because of the explosion.

The front door was totally wrecked. We had to figure out a way in, so we all went around the base, and surprisingly, the back door was still standing.

We tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge, so I took a bomb in a space in my bulletproof vest and attached it to the door and put a timer of 5 seconds, then we all moved away from the door, and in 5 seconds the door blew open, then we walked towards it and kicked it completely open.

We held our pistols in our hands as we went in, except Amadeo, who only had switchblades and pocket knives.

We walked steadily into the building, looking everywhere and every corner for any Russians. We got to a big room which looked like a lounge with drugs lying scattered everywhere and empty bottles of alcohol, but there were no Russians in sight.

We stood in the middle of the lounge and looked around. There were stairs to go to the top floor, and we were on the top floor, which had five rooms. I looked at Massimo and Fabrizio and motioned my head towards the rooms, which he understood, searching them. While Dario and I went to the second floor, and Amadeo went to the top floor.

We all scattered throughout the house. Dario and I slowly walked up the stairs with him walking behind me.

We got to the second floor, and there was a door to our left. I signaled to Dario to keep shut, then I gently pushed the door open and was met by naked women with fear written on their faces. The room was smelling of urine. .it was evident that the Russians were trafficking these women.

I might be a cold bastard, but human trafficking was something I didn’t venture into, and I made sure it was eradicated in my mafia.

I cursed under my breath because I couldn’t rescue these women because of the gas; I would have to wait for my men.

So, I closed the door and kept walking with Dario behind me. Looking around, there were fallen bricks everywhere because of the bomb.

We kept walking, trying to avoid them. Unexpectedly, Russians rushed out shooting at us. There were about 6 of them, but thanks to my quick reflexes, we dodged and shot back at them, quickly taking cover behind a wall, and kept shooting at them at intervals, with them shooting back at us.

This went on for 2 minutes until it was silent on their end. We killed those fuckers.

.

We came out from behind the wall, and then I started hearing gunshots from downstairs.

“How is your side, Fabrizio?” I asked him through the earpod.

"Not good, boss, there are so many," he replied me grunting.

Cazzo! I muttered under my breath

[f**k]

“Aless, where are the men?”

“They are on their way king,” he replied

“Back up will be here soon,” I assured him.

Dario and I kept walking, checking out our surroundings, then we saw a room ahead of us with the door slightly ajar. I moved forward and pushed the door open with my leg while pointing my pistol out into the room.

Inside the large room, which looked like an office, we walked in and saw men standing in front of the big desk with their pistols pointed out and behind the desk sat their boss, Ivan, with a cigar between his lips

“Long time no see, Marcello” Ivan greeted me while puffing the smoke out of his mouth.

One of his men walked to me and locked the door behind me, tossing the key to their boss.

I looked around and clenched my jaw; they were trying to kill me.

“Yeah, because you are a coward who hides behind his men,” I replied him smirking

He clenched his jaw, looking so pissed. Russian men hate being disrespected

“Look around Marcello, there is one of you and 15 of us,“ he said to me, smiling casually.

I looked around and counted the men, but including him, there were just 14. And just immediately, I felt the cold mouth of a gun against my head. I turned my head and saw Dario pointing a gun at me.

“You bastard!!“ I yelled furiously. I hated being betrayed

He just kept staring at me with his hands shaking on the damn gun

He was screwed. He knew that when he betrayed me.

“Are you shocked, Marcello? One of your most trusted men stabbed you in the back,” Ivan asked me, grinning and still smoking his cigar

I ignored him and kept looking at Dario. I needed a plan.

I knew the odds of my getting out of here alive were slim. There was a gun pointed at my head and the rest of the men pointed their guns at me.

Think Rico

Think

Think

Bingo!!

“You know, Ivan, I forgot for a second how smart you are, turning my own men against me.You know I have to ask how you manage that? “I asked him

He laughed and said, “You won’t even believe it, this bastard here wants power, and since he is not getting it from you to be at the top, I decided to help him. The deal was we kill you and I make him the underdog of the russian mafia, we knew you would take the bait of coming here when we killed your men, the drugs and weapons were just added bonus…” he kept explaining his plan

While he was distracted talking about his plan, I carefully took one of the grenades with me and took the pin off, then threw it into the room.

Immediately, everyone started firing their guns at me, but I quickly ran away from where I stood. I knew I couldn’t go out of the room because the door was locked, and the key was with their f*****g boss. We kept firing at each other even though they couldn’t see me because of the smoke.

I kept shooting at everybody in the room. They made it easy because they kept shouting frantically looking for me.

Anytime I shot one of them I moved from my position so they didn’t follow where the shots killing them were coming from. As I kept moving about bent down on the floor, a Russian just hit me from beside me. The smoke still had its effect, so he couldn’t see me. But he held my hand and started touching my chest, and immediately I knew I was caught because of the bullet vest on my chest. He twisted me and turned my back against his body, strangling my neck. He kept choking me while I held unto his hand which was around my neck, I quickly took out a pocket knife from my pocket and stabbed him in his thigh making him leave me alone. I coughed, finally inhaling oxygen.

I took out my gun and shot the guy. The smoke was clearing out of the room and from the corner of my eye I saw Ivan fiddling with the key in his hand trying to open the door, and immediately I ran to him, tackling him to the ground and punching his damn face over and over.

“You are pathetic Ivan” I told him sneering at him

He just kept laughing with blood all over his face and coming out of his mouth.

Someone came up behind me and pointed a gun at my head.

“f*****g leave him “Dario said, still pointing the gun at me.

I chuckled humorlessly. “Shoot me if you have the balls.”

I told him while turning around slowly

“I hate you Rico, you act like you are the damn king of everything and everyone” He shouted angrily.

‘That’s because I f*****g am!!, you are one of my trusted men. I care about you”, I informed him.

“No, you didn’t, you only cared about your family. You are a selfish bastard who doesn’t give a damn about anyone else. “

“You got greedy Dario, you think the power I wield doesn’t come with its own problems. I have to make sure everyone is fine. I get blamed for things that aren’t my fault. People call me the f*****g problem and still the f*****g solution. I have to solve everyone’s s**t “I informed him

He couldn’t say anything anymore and kept looking at me, still pointing the gun at me.

He lowered his head in shame as I took my gun and shot him in the head between his eyes . Immediately, he dropped dead.

Immediately, my men rushed inside the room, shooting everyone, including Ivan, dead.

I looked at Dario’s body and the bodies of my other men laid out and covered up, and muttered a silent prayer. We were taking them back to Italy for a proper burial.

"Riposa in pace......"

[Rest in peace]
