Bred In Violence (A Mafia Romance) Completed

Chapter Six

Raphael

Chicago was cold, its no wonder its referred to as the windy city. Enzo had Luigi's sister address, soon after we landed we hired a car which is always better than taking a taxi if anything was to go wrong we'll have no witnesses.

I didn't want to stay long, not even overnight. I just wanted to put a bullet through Luigi and head back home. I had a house to buy and a girl to see.

Enzo drove because he was the only one who knew the address, I sat at the back with Bruno at the front. I thought he would sit at the back with me. I looked at him and saw he was holding his gun on his thigh, like he was sure something was about to happen. I looked at his eyes on the side mirror, then looked at Enzo's on the rear mirror. "Damn!" I thought.

"How long is the drive?" I asked looking at Enzo

"About 15minutes now"

"Where exactly is the house?" Bruno asked, his voice calm, like he had no care in the world but i recognized that calm voice, it was telling me something I had already figured out. Enzo was another traitor.

As we drove further towards our destination, Bruno requested Enzo to stop the car for a few minutes so he could take a leak. Immediately he stopped the car Bruno shot him dead through the temple on his left.

"How did you know?" I asked him

"He was fidgeting too much, avoiding eye contact since we left Newyork and he knew too much personal stuff about Luigi for my comfort had me wondering what was his interest in all this?

"I guess we are about to find out, but first, we need to put his body on the boot, damn it! "I swore. This was going to delay my stay in Chicago and that really really pissed me off.

"Why can't we just get rid of it?" Bruno asked me.

"No. I want to show the body to Luigi, I want him to see what we are capable of"

"Will that change the outcome? I mean..you will still kill him" he stated obviously.

"You do not know that, I may decide to be merciful" I said shooting him a glare

Bruno just smirked at me and said. "No you'll not, you will kill him by the end of today which begs the question. Why drag the body with us, why do you need the dramatic show?"

"You know me too well and you're right, I will kill him. I just want to know what he knows, everything he knows and I intend to instil the fear of god into him before I put a bullet through him.

Bruno gave me a humourless smile. We are killers, we are not proud of it but we are not going to apologize for it either. It is what it is. We lifted Enzo's body and fit it in the boot and drove to our destination. He didn't lie about the the duration of the time though it took Bruno 10minutes to get us there. He drove too fast, part of the reason why we preferred Romano to drive.

Luigi's sister lived in a small 2bedroom house, I guess I could understand why he wanted to earn fast money but choosing the mafia to earn that money was not a smart choice.

I knocked on the door. Bruno stood slightly behind me, I knew he was alert listening to any sound as I was. The door suddenly opened and a woman who I guessed was Luigi's sister stared at me open mouthed. She didn't speak for almost a minute she just stared at me.

I have a cursed face. What women called cute, beautiful, handsome or whatever. I'm used to women staring at me, but this one was pissing me off.

"Oh, sorry, can I help you?" She finally found her voice.

"Yes, I hope you can. I'm looking for your brother, is he in" I answered.

"Sure, come on in." She moved for me to proceed her, I did and so did Bruno.

"Please have a seat, I will only be a minute. He was helping me babysit while I cleaned the house."

We waited. I knew if Luigi was in here there was no way he could escape without using the front door. I had checked the windows, he couldn't fit in either,and the house didn't have a back door.

After what seemed like 5minutes Luigi came, the sister I figured had been warned to keep away from what was about to happen. He looked scared, and he should he will be meeting his maker today.

"Take a drive with us, it seems we have some business to discuss" I told him as a I stood up heading towards the door. I stood when I reached the door and looked back, he was still rooted at the same place and Bruno was still seated waiting for Luigi to proceed him.

"I really don't have the time for this, if you don't want the drive then I can easily have this conversation here. Your choice" I told calmly.

He immediately started moving. 'That's what I thought' I muttered.

We all walked out, with Luigi at the middle. Bruno moved to the driver's seat and Luigi and I sat at the back.

"I thought Enzo would come with you?" He asked

"Why would you think that?" I shot back

He seem to have noticed his mistake because he immediately started chattering non stop about nothing important.

Maybe he thought I would forget it, anyway I let it go for now. Bruno drove for about an hour and a half, I knew he was looking for a deserted place, somewhere we could conclude our Chicago business in a perfect way and go home.

"Is there a reason why we need to drive all this far?" Luigi asked. I didn't answer but Bruno did.

"Yes there is, we have a package for you that we wouldn't want anyone to see" I could see Bruno's cruel smirk on the rear mirror and it made me smile, which made Luigi even more scared.

"I think this is a perfect place." Bruno said as he stopped the car.

We got out, I could see Luigi wanted to run for the heels, like he would outrun me. I chuckled inwardly.

"If you run, I will kill your sister and her kid in an hour, don't test me. That did the trick.

"I guess you already know why I'm here" I stated as I looked at his face. He nodded looking far off the highway that must be hidden by the small bush that surrounded us.

"I already know Antonio is behind it but the question is why?"

"Why do I have to tell you anything, so you can kill me? You need me. What makes you think I will tell you anything at all?"

I laughed, I literally laughed. He was so naive, such a kid, the mafia was definitely not for him. " Oh god you're serious, I can make you talk without the slightest effort.

"Bruno, open the boot please, our friend here needs a little motivation to tell us what we need to know."

Bruno walked to the boot, and I pushed Luigi towards it" to say he was shocked will be an understatement. His breath became short like he was afraid of breathing, he looked at me and he must have seen my killer face because he immediately averted his eyes.

"Everything they say about you is true isn't it?" He whispered.

"I don't know. What do they say?" I asked sounding bored, of course I knew what they say,I have a reputation. I started this life when I was 10, I have killed more people than I care to count but they all deserved it.

I knew only too well what the streets said about me. My reputation protected my people because no one wanted to rub me the wrong way. But my father thought he could take me on and win, and he used this stupid boy in front of me to do some of his dirty work.

"I will not ask again, what does Antonio want from me."

"I can't tell you tha..." before he could finish I shot his hand off

His scream was to too loud Bruno covered his mouth with his hand." Are you ready to talk now or do I need to shoot again?"

"I don't know what he wants I swear to you, he just told me he needed to know where you were that day. I didn't think it was such a big deal, and he is your father after all. I figured what will be the harm anyway?"

" How much were you promised? " my face was still fixed on his, I knew he was bullshitting me, his face was transparent enough"

"Boss, I wasn't given any money" this time he braved himself to look at me. He wanted me to see he was telling me the truth.

"I know that...don't look so surprised, Antonio is a stingy son of a b***h, he rarely pays his debt something you didn't know considering your actions. I don't think even you could be so stupid to betray me without a promise of an incentive, so how much?"

"250Gs" it was whispered.

"A quarter of a million, I chuckled bitterly. I guess I should be flattered, Jesus I hear was betrayed for so much less. So what does the old man need from me so much that he would promise money he doesn't have at the moment to get it?" This time I raised the gun to his forehead, I did not have time for any more evasive bullshit.

"He said he wants your empire, he said you don't deserve what you have and his sons have nothing, please don't kill me, that's all I know. I swear to god.

"I never inherited what I have, everything I have I earned it. I owe him nothing. You betrayed me either for selfish reasons or you believed Antonio's words, either way you die today." I shot him on the forehead.

We burnt the bodies and cleaned the car with hydrogen peroxide. No one would know the boot had carried a dead body less that 4hours earlier.

Time to go home. I have never looked forward to going home like I am this time. I will see Sophie today, I hope Tony had the information I asked for.
