Giovanni: Ricci family mafia series

chapter 3

Sean and I went to an empty room near the yard. "Sean in the next month you'll be seen by the council to see if your eligible for parole," I tell him. There was no response or head movement so I continued, "The council will look at the things that you did while here then determine if you can be on parole or finish your sentencing," I say. Sean still didn't reply or say nothing so I asked, "Are there any questions?"

"No," he said then got up and left the room.

Most inmates are happy that they can go home on parole, I thought, collecting my files. Looking at the time seeing that it is11AM. It's almost time for lunch. I get to my office dropping the files on my desk then turning my computer on starting on some paperwork. I was broken out of my concentration when 'that's my best' started playing letting me know that Tisha is either calling or texting me. I grab my phone out of my pocket seeing that she's texting me asking where I'm at; I replied I'm about to leave my office. I save all my work on the computer put my files up then leave my office seeing two white men I never saw before walk pass me. I continue to the elevator minding my business when I see one of Amy's lackeys waiting for the elevator.

"Hey Camilla," says Lindsay.

"Hey Lindsay," I say in a boring tone so she doesn't talk to me.

"You heard that Amy got the fed case," said Lindsay.

I guess that didn't work. "Yes I did. I told her congrats when she told me." The elevator doors opened and I hop right on with her. The ride was silent until Mike got on.

Hey ladies," he said.

"Hey," I reply dryly.

"Hey Mike. You see Amy?" said Lindsay tryna be extra.

Mike looks at her for a minute than me, "No I haven't," he said when the elevator opens we get out heading to the lounge.

I walk into the lounge finding Tisha sitting at a table by herself as I walk over to the table seeing her texting on her phone. "Who are you texting?" I ask while grabbing the bag in front of her.

"If you must know I have another date this weekend," she said all happy.

"Go girl. Don't be putting out the goods yet," I tell her.

She looks at with an eyebrow raised. "He won't be getting any goods until he starts spending some real money on me," Tisha said while she eats some fries I just laugh at her. This girl a trip.

"Where y'all going this weekend?" I ask

"I don't know. He wants it to be a surprise," Tisha says.

When I'm about to say something the alarm goes off. Tisha's walkie-talkies go off: "We have a Code 2. Two prisoners on Block A." Tisha jumps right up and runs out the room with me following her. We run up three flights of steps when I made it to Block A. I'm out of breath and sweating like a sinner in church. I caught my breath then start speed walking down the hall to see Sean being held by a guard against the wall and the other inmate lying on the floor. I walk over to the guard holding Sean. "Take him into the office by the elevators," I tell the guard holding Sean. He nods his head then drags Sean away. I look around at the chaos that happened while looking around I see the sexy white man standing in the corner staring at the inmate on the floor. His gaze turns to me like he knew I was looking at him. We stare at each other for a few minutes until James yells: "Lockdown!"All the inmates rushed to their cell before they get sent to the hole I walk out of the living quarters heading to the office.

I enter the office to see the guard standing by the door and Sean sitting in the chair by the desk. "Give us a minute," I tell the guard.

"I'll be outside the door," he tells me then walks out of the room. "What the f**k was that Sean?" I yell. He just shrugs his shoulders having no care in the world. "Really you were almost out of here, now you gonna have to finish the next ten months," I tell him.

Sean just shakes his head. "Officer Smith I had to do what needed to be done," he tells me.

"Well I hope that it was worth it." Looking him up and down, I see a little bit of blood on his arm. "Are you hurt?"

Sean looks at his arm, "That's just a little cut I'll be alright," he said getting up and leaving the room. I just shake my head. What could make a man ruin his chance of freedom? I thought, while going to my office. I get on my office spending the rest of my day doing paperwork. I look at my phone seeing it's time to leave I turn off my computer off, put the files away and grab my bag. I walk out of the building feeling drained: I walk slowly to my car throwing my bag in my car driving to my apartment.

I park my car grabbing my bag, unlocking the door going straight to my apartment. I unlock my door to hear Star meowing. I put my keys on the hall table then bend down pick her up. I carry her into the living room where I drop down on the couch. "How was your day?" I ask her just getting meows in response. I sit there for a few minutes before getting up to go in my room to change my clothes into a short-sleeved blue shirt, black leggings, and black flip-flops. I grab my key then headed out the door; I walk two doors down knocking on Mrs. Lilly's door.

Mrs. Lily opens the door, "Hey sugar," she said to me.

"Hey Mrs. Lilly," I say walking into her apartment smelling something delicious. "Mrs. Lilly what are you cooking?"

"I'm making lasagna with breadsticks and that chocolate cake you like," she tells me making my stomach instantly start rumbling.

"You need help with anything?" I ask.

"No the lasagna is done. I'm just waiting for the breadsticks then we could eat," Mrs. Lilly said while I grab two plates, forks and cups placing them on the dining room table.

"What do you want to drink?" I ask Mrs. Lilly.

"Grab the wine in the refrigerator," she tells me and I grab it then put it on the table. The nights that I spend with Mrs. Lilly are always nice. We talk about our day or anything that happened interesting to us. She's like the grandma that I all ways wanted. After eating dinner we wash the dishes together then she sends me home with the leftovers.

I walk slowly into work dreading talking to James about what happened with Sean yesterday. "Morning Camille," said Darrell.

"Morning D," I say back waiting for my purse to be given to me.

D hands me my purse, "Between me and you some of the inmates are saying that Sean is working for Ricci. So it was job yesterday, "said D.

I shake my head. "Thanks," I tell him then walk to the elevator in deep thought about this Ricci guy. I get off on my floor to see James. "Camille," he calls me.

Damn . What does he want this early? I thought. "Yes," I said while still walking to my office he follow me in my office then shuts the door. "What's going on?" I ask him.

"Well we got some information about what happened yesterday and the feds want to talk to you," said James.

I look at him shaking my head. "What time do they want to see me?" I say.

"At 9 o'clock in my office" said James.

"Okay I'll be up there," I said. James leaves my office I sit in my chair think this is the second person this morning talking about what happened yesterday to me. I turn my computer on finishing some paperwork from yesterday.

8:45 hit I got up and headed to James office. I got to the elevator to see Amy there. "Hey Camille," she says.

"Hey Amy," I say while we wait for the elevator in silence. We both get on the elevator.

"You know why James was down here?" ask Amy.

I turn to her nosy ass to tell her, "He wanted to talk about Sean.

"I get off the elevator walking to James' office, I knock on the door."Come in," I heard James' voice say as I open the door seeing two white men from yesterday in suits; one standing by the window and the other in front of James desk.

"Hey, Miss. Smith, I'm agent Conner and this is agent Jackson" said the white man in front of James' desk.

"Hi. Why am I up here?" I ask.

"Well, Miss. Smith we heard from an inmate that Sean is working for Ricci and what he did yesterday was a job," said Jackson

"Okay what does that have to do with me," I ask.

"We were wondering if you can talk to Sean about Ricci," said Conner.

Do they think I'm stupid or something? I thought. "I'm not getting involved with no mafia stuff now you can ask him but I'm not," I tell them.

"You are Sean's CO so it won't look out of character for you to ask him," said Jackson

I look in his direction " ain't Amy Ricci's CO, have her ask Ricci if he knows Sean," I tell Jackson. These white motherfucker tryna get me killed I thought.

"Look I got work to do," I tell them walking towards the door.

Miss. Smith, we can give you compensation for your time" said Conner.

"Let's understand something no amount of money that you can give me will make me jeopardize putting my life in danger," I tell them walking out the door.

I go straight to my office and start working to stop myself from thinking about that stupid s**t they just ask me in the office. I work till lunch and stayed in my office eating when there was a knock on my door.

"Come in," I said and in walked Tisha.

"So you wasn't gonna tell me you weren't coming down," said Tisha.

"Sorry I had a weird morning," I tell her.

"Tell me what happened," said Tisha taking a seat.

I turned on some music then went in my drawer pulling out the cake

"I knew you didn't forget about me," said Tisha I just laugh at this girl.

"I need you not to tell anyone I told you this," I say to Tisha

"I got you," she said

"So everyone's been telling me that Sean works for Ricci and what he did yesterday was like a hit," I said. Tisha stops eating her food and looks at me "you mean like a mafia hit," she said.

"Yes," I tell her.

"Damn that's crazy," she said.

"Oh that's not crazy; the FBI wanting me to ask Sean to snitch is crazy," I say.

"What?" Tisha said. I just shook my head.

"Do they not know where you're from?" said Tisha.

"I'm guessing not since they offered me money," I said.

"They must be desperate," she said we finished eating our food.

"Girl it been nothing but drama for you all week. We getting drinks this weekend," Tisha said.

"Thanks, girls that have me looking forward to the weekend," I tell her Tisha leaves I turn the music off cleaning up the mess that we made.

I got back on the computer I received an email I check to see that I got a new inmate added. I wrote the name down then headed to Lindsey's office I knock on her door. "Yes?" she looks up.

"I need the file on Tony Rossi" I tell her.

"Okay," she says she gets up walking to the file cabinet searching for a few minutes then handing me the file

"Thanks," I say then I walk back to my office. I look through Tony's file to see that he's here on getting caught with some coke doing time for a year and a half. This is his second charge the first he was in possession of a gun with no license to carry did 2 months.

I see that he's on block A and then I look to see that it's only 12:30. I can talk to him for a few then come back and put his paperwork in, I thought. I grab his file and walk to my door but I stop hearing somebody talking outside my door. "Do you think that she'll work for the feds?" said a male voice. "Don't know. She's been in her office most of the day," said a female voice I wait to hear more but, someone knocks on my door. I open it to see James and Amy.

"How can I help y'all?" I say

"I just wanted a few minutes of your time," said James

"Well I have to go see about an inmate we can talk when I get back," I tell them.

"Just come to my office when you're done," said James then they left my office. I went back to my desk locking all my drawers and making sure I log off my computer then leave going to block A. I reach the floor see Kevin.

"Hey Kevin," I said.

"Hey Camille" replied Kevin.

"Can you bring Tony Rossi to the conference room?" I ask. He shakes his head then left my side I walk out the living quarters going to the conference room. I enter the room seeing the sexy white man sitting behind the desk.

"Hey love," he said in the sexiest husky voice.
