The Mafia's Daughter

Chapter 5 It ends with a bang.

-The Boys-

Andrew gets into his car and feels his nerves increase. He knows that what he has done is dangerous. Roberto Ferrante's only daughter is far beyond his territory and the people here hate him. The bouncer recognized Andrew and probably everyone in the Johnson family knows they are here now. Roberto Ferrante has done everything in his power to keep Valentina out of the world he operates in. People know he has a daughter, but no one knows who she is, he keeps her out of everything.

The Johnsons are the only true American family in charge here in the city. The rest of the city is divided between the three Italian families, who, for whatever old feud, can no longer go through a door with each other. That again is beneficial for the Johnsons. Everyone knows that the Johnsons only have so much because of the feud. If the families were tighter together, he wouldn’t have a chance.

Andrew picks up his phone and scrolls to Christiano's number, as promised to Valentina. He knows better and he should call Riccardo right away, but he cares about Valentina and he wants her to have a nice night out, without drama from her brothers. He knows Christiano is the most relaxed.

"Andrew! Talk to me." He hears Christiano's cheerful voice.

"Uhm Chris," he begins and then he sighs deeply "Valentina is with Esmay and Anna in Club Rexx." He exclaims and waits for the response, but it stays quiet.

"I told her this is not a good club, she asked me to call you instead of Riccardo," Andrew says to Chris, and Christiano in turn gets nervous.

"No, she has to get out of there." He yells. Andrew frowns. Christiano is always the relaxed brother, why does he react like this.

"Tonight there is a deal there, Vincenzo Bellucci is there as a decoy. It's not safe there." He explains over the phone.

"She has to get out of there right now." He tells Andrew again.

"There will be an attack on the Johnsons by Lamberti." Andrew now feels guilty.

"I don't think the bouncer will let me in. He knows who I am and probably who I have dropped off." Andrew tells Christiano who in turn only curses and yells some things in Italian.

"I'll send Lorenzo and Marcello." Christiano muttered, "You stay there and don't move unless Tina asks, Riccardo says you can’t go in alone right now." He explains to Andrew and they disconnect.

Lorenzo and Marcello, the two brothers with the least patience, Lorenzo is the twin brother with whom she has more discussions than with any other brother, the twins who are nothing alike. He's never going to convince her to leave her on her own, this ends in a big fight. In which Valentina ends up crying and her brother insanely mad. Andrew sighs and shakes his head. He should have called Riccardo right away when he heard the plans.

Meanwhile, Andrew decides to keep an eye on the bouncer and keep an eye on the surroundings, that way he can still be useful if something changes in the situation and he has to take Valentina and the other ladies out of the club. He checks his gun in his dashboard and the gun on his belt under his jacket. Enough bullets, let's hope they are not needed.

"She's where!?" Lorenzo angrily asks his brother Christiano.

"Andrew said in club Rexx," Christiano replied. Tonight, of all places, his sister has to go out in a place where she shouldn't be at all in the first place. If anyone can drink their blood, it's the Johnsons.

Lorenzo hits Marcello on the shoulder.

"We have to leave, Tina is in Rexx, in half an hour the roof will go off there and hell erupts." He hisses and Marcello looks up from his phone. He sighs and walks to the table where his gun is. He checks it when Lorenzo also checks his gun.

"Let's go." Lorenzo barked and together with his brother Marcello they walk to the car.

"She's with Anna and Esmay, they have to come along too." He explains to his older brother.

"Wtf are they doing there?" Marcello is annoyed.

"Something about Anna's birthday," Lorenzo answered when he accelerates. Marcello calls Andrew

"Where are you?" he asks

"Outside across the street, everything is quiet, I see three cars of Lamberti." He says.

"F**K Then it starts any moment," sighs Marcello and he sends a message to his brother Riccardo. Maybe he can ask if Bellucci can do something, two Bellucci cars are standing in front of the club.

"Is Vincenzo there himself?" asks Lorenzo to Andrew. Andrew did not see him himself but did see his younger brother Giovanni.

When the brothers put the car next to Andrew on the road, they hear a loud bang. Both immediately grab their guns

"Start the car, Andrew." They yell and they run in through the broken glass at one of the windows. Lorenzo scans the chaos in search of his sister and then he sees her. Vincenzo holds her and puts her in a booth. He kisses her cheek, he points to her and she nods and then leaves. I hope for him that nothing happened. Riccardo and Vincenzo Bellucci try to get over the feud since it all started with Lamberti and Ferrante, and Bellucci had nothing to do with it, but Vincenzo’s hands on their sister is not happening.

"Found her!." He shouts to his brother Marcello. They blend in, in the chaos around them. The shooting starts and the brothers know, they have to hurry. They know the plan is in the back of the club, but Johnson will hunt everybody down and will not let them leave when they are seen. Marcello smiles “Good. All three are in the booth. What’s with Anna?” Lorenzo shakes his head.

“Let’s go.” He barks. Now is not the time to talk.

"Come here," Lorenzo says and grabs Valentina tightly by her arm. Valentina screams but is shocked when she looks straight at Lorenzo. Lorenzo pulls her up and the other two. Marcello grabs Anna and Lorenzo pulls Valentina along.

“Give Esmay your hand.” He yells at Valentina. Both brothers hold the ladies and the guns and move around in the crowd and go through the window they came in with. Valentina is stuck in the glass with her dress and feels a sharp sting in her side. She doesn't say anything, she let Esmay’s hand go and she puts her hand against her side, where it stings.

"You're going with me," Marcello announced to the ladies and he pulls Anna and Esmay to his car and Lorenzo takes Valentina in the car with Andrew.

Once they sit, Marcello drives away and Andrew drives after them, away from the club. In the rearview mirror, they see the police and the fire brigade coming.

"Just in time," Andrew exclaims satisfied and Lorenzo looks at the frightened face of Valentina in the back seat and shakes his head.

"What were you thinking to come here!? You know you can’t go here!" He yells to Valentina in disgust and the tears she was holding, now streaming down her face. Her eyes are big when she sees Lorenzo putting away his gun. Sh*t that will be a lot of explaining after tonight. Lorenzo thinks and he sends a message to Riccardo and his other brothers with the outcome of tonight and then he hugs his sister

“I’m sorry for yelling at you.” He talks softly to her. Valentina cries in silence.

“I’m hurt.” Her voice is soft and Lorenzo looks at her with big eyes

"Hurt? Where?" he asks and Valentina turns on the seat, he looks at her side and then sees the blood on her hands and the ripped dress. "F**K" he shouts.

"Andrew you have to drive to the hospital." He says and Lorenzo calls Riccardo.

"Tell me she wasn't in REXX and tell me she's okay." Riccardo is furious and Lorenzo sighs. "I'm going to the hospital with her. You have to call dad and we have to tell her." He answers his brother, and while cursing Riccardo disconnects.

"Sorry." Valentina's voice is soft, still with tears running down her cheeks.

"Come here," Lorenzo says and he does his best to push his anger to the background, to be able to be there for Valentina.

“Did you got shot?” he asks her and she shakes her head

“I think it was the glass, but it hurts bad.” She cries and Lorenzo puts his hand on her hand and he feels how wet it is.

“Sh*t this is bad, we have to go faster.” He barks to Andrew who looks worried through the mirror.

“Enzo, I feel sick,” Valentina Says and when he looks at her he sees her face all pale.

“I’m tired.” She states.

“No, no, you’re not!” He exclaims.

“Tina, you have to stay awake!” But Valentina closes her eyes and falls forward.

“F**k!!” Lorenzo yells.

Andrew stops in front of the hospital and opens the door for Lorenzo. He carries his little sister inside where a doctor comes rushing to them.

“WHAT THE F**K HAPPENEND TO MY GIRL!!!” Lorenzo turns and sees not only his brothers but also his dad and his mother running in. “We will take it from here.” The doctor says and they all watch Valentina leave on the stretcher with the doctor and nurses.
