Chapter 5
1727 Words
Within a few hours, I arrived in Italy. The place with the most expensive wine and best pasta and do not forget the Italian mafia drug lords! I never really liked the Italian drug lord since he murdered his family in cold blood. That made a few doors open for him, but now he is sitting with the most horrible pain ever known to mankind. I got off the plane and into the black SUV that was already waiting on my arrival. Once I was settled in my butler gave me a folder with all of the details of the doctor. He was an Italian man who graduated top of his class and went to university through a scholarship. The doctor himself has a few cases against him for giving false diagnoses which seems a bit strange for a man who graduated top of his class. Victor Russo is a family man at home and sometimes enjoys his time with a stripper named Sofia. This doctor seems to have everything that he has ever dreamt of. I felt the car coming to a halt and within seconds the door was already open waiting for me to climb out. I got out and found myself at a small park where families gathered to play with their kids. I walked towards the entrance when my butler showed me the man whom I was looking for. He stood on the other side of the park with his family. He was tall and had dark brown hair with those glasses from Harry Potter. What is the worst that this doctor can do? Zapp me? I walked towards the doctor only to find him throwing a ball which landed right before my feet. He came walking up to me with a smile and an apologetic face as if this poor man only knew who he was walking towards!
"So sorry!"
"Not a problem doctor Russo!" I said as I handed him the ball leaving him a bit confused.
"You're a patient of mine?"
"Unfortunately not, but a friend of mine was. Natalia.."
"Oh, yes how is she?"
"Do you have a moment for us to talk?" I asked seeing as how he agreed before throwing the ball to his kids saying that he is just going to get some cold drinks from the small cafe. We walked side by side and from what I could see he was nervous as hell.
"Is she alright?"
"Yes, she is back to her old self.."
"Good, I was worried about her after she just signed herself out!"
"Why would she do that?"
"Well, she needed to get home to correct her mistakes, or that is what the young lady said that identified her!"
"Alexa Haunt?"
"Yes, very beautiful lady yet very stupid if you would ask me!" he said as we took a seat by the chair looking at his children playing.
"Why so?"
"She pushed Natalia to get back her memories and for some odd reason told Natalia that there was a job still left for her!" what did this guy just say? If he is right about what he is stating now then that means only one thing. My sister had other motives and bringing her back means that she caught on s**t and probably needs an assassin to keep her alive.
"You must be Jace?" he said leaving me now a bit taken aback by these words.
"Yes!"
"She kept on mumbling your name when she came into the hospital! She kept asking if you made it and after her surgery, she lost most of her memories to the point that she could not even remember herself!"
"They said that she died in the reports.."
"Yes, but some miracle she was, as soon as the ambulance arrived and confirmed that indeed she had passed away she moved and that is when they found a pulse again!"
"Was there anyone else that survived that I need to know off?"
"No, I don't think so why this interest?"
"Just checking on a few stuff, what do you mean with checking herself out? Wasn't she monitored?"
"Our patients are not criminals that we need to monitor twenty-four seven Jace! She had a big surgery before she signed herself out and the medication that we gave her can do a bit of damage to her if she takes it wrong!" now he had my full attention just like always Natalia had to be stubborn.
"What do you mean?"
"If her medication gets mixed with alcohol or any drug-related medication then she might have a problem or two!"
"Meaning?!" I said harshly busy losing my s**t with this man.
"It can cause internal bleeding and due to the burning wounds she had, it affected her lungs a bit. So it can cause shortness of breath or even give her affection!"
"Just f*****g great!" I said out loud making the couple from across us stare at us like birds waiting on their prey.
"Take it that she is a drinker?"
"She is a biker, I think we all know what that means! Look thank you for your time I will call you if I need your help!" I said before I walked away leaving my butler to open the door for me. I told him that we need to get to the Italians as soon as possible so that I can head home and see what s**t Nat has been up to. I am not going to lose her again not like this! We arrived at a resort where the Italian leader was waiting for me. Ravello was the name of the resort it had beautiful cliffside gardens. Some say that it is closer to the sky than the sea which seemed a bit right to me. As the car stopped I took my gun from my butler and placed it beneath my jacket. I wasn't going to walk into the lion's den without taking precautions. I got out and walked towards a villa where he was waiting on me, yet once I had found him he was busy drinking wine while looking out on the town.
"Haunt, my friend so good to see you!" he said once he saw me leaving me to greet him before I took a whiskey from the waiter. I looked out at the view and it was breathtaking.
"So what is this meeting all about García?" I asked as I took a seat next to him.
"I thought you would never show up now that Natalia is back!"
"News travels fast so you have been watching the news!"
"Well yes, Logan was on my list and Natalia was very happy to get rid of him for me!"
"Of course, now can we get to the part about why I flew a thousand miles for this meeting?" I said as I looked at him with warning eyes since my patience was now running slowly out like an hourglass. He looked at me before he signaled his guard to come forward. I kept my eyes on them before he handed me a folder.
"What is this?"
"That is a folder of my next marker!"
"Great kill him and get it over with!"
"He stole from me Jace and as you know already I had to kill my second wife since she slept with the traitor himself! When the word came out that you and your friend fell in love with assassins that is when you had us all worried!" he said as he stood up walking towards the cliff.
"You have nothing to worry about García and you know that as long as you play by the rules!" I said as I stood up buttoning my jacket close and about to greet him, yet he stopped me in my tracks
"Like the two of you played by the rules Haunt?"
"This decision is over!"
"Is it? She is back and that can raise a lot of questions for you as it is with your friend!"
"Are you trying to say something García?"
"I am trying to explain the matter to you brother since the two of you have assassins on your side, that are raising a few questions from the alliances which is understandable!"
"You think we want to assassinate you?"
"Maybe!"
"Listen to me very carefully I choose who I take to bed and that is my f*****g business. I am not going to take a w***e to bed only to find out that she is stealing from me do we understand each other?"
"Crystal clear, yet you must understand why we all are troubled with this move of yours!" He said making me feel like a bloody time bomb waiting to explode.
"This move of mine? You're f*****g w***e of a wife stole from you and slept with the man himself so do not come to me with that f*****g bullshit!"
"She stole your shipment for Logan as I recall brother, but I did not ask you to meet me so that we can talk about our taste in a woman! I think our empires mean more at this point than a p***y!" I took a deep breath before I lose my s**t with this prick.
"Five minutes then I f*****g leave García!"
"I need to track him down and my team is not doing a very good job at this point!"
"So find someone else surely you could have figured that out by yourself already!" I said as I swallowed my last whiskey and placed the glass on the tray of the waiter.
"Next time when you call me please make sure that it is an emergency and not a f*****g lecture!" I said about to walk away, yet again he was testing my anger and the beast inside of me.
"I need you to give this to Natalia for me or at least ask her to give me a call!" he said leaving me to turn around looking at him with disbelief.
"What did you just say?" I said in a low growl like a hunter waiting for the right moment.
"I need Natalia for a job and I was figuring since you're f*****g her tight ass we can make this a business deal?"
"Mmm, a business deal you say, brother?" I said with a smile creeping onto my face.
