What Life Holds

Chapter 29

Jess's POV

I'm sitting on my study desk, staring at the paper in front of me. I wrote down all the information I know, from my mom's accident to Joy's kidnapping, all I knew was in the paper. Jem says there is no connection, but truth is, there actually is. The Russians main goal is to take down the Italian Mafia, and being honest their moves are actually smart.

Jem said that if they do have mom, they will boast and let everyone know their amazing move. But the Russians are clever, they did the exact opposite of what Jem thought, they stayed quiet. The Swedish and Russians do have alliance, the Russian Mafia princess was married to the Swedish Don. It may not be on any records but it's common sense. Joy was right when she thought that her kidnapper was working under someone.

He is working under the Russian Leader, the Swedish aren't exactly strong right now so of course they will be with the Russians. Joy's kidnap was something which they used to drive them off track. There move was to make the Italians capture the very few left in the Swedish Mafia, and that's exactly what Jem is doing. He has sent his men to search and find the remaining of the Swedish, so the Russians have more than enough time to prepare for their big move, which I hate to say, but it can destroy the entire Italian mafia.

If mom's there then she is obviously going to brutal torture, if she knows anything about the Italian Mafia they will surely take it out of her, even if she doesn't want to. The thought about what my mom must be going through makes me what to cry, but I have no time to cry, I must find a way. Picking up my phone I dialed a number, the person who I called picked up in two rings.  

"Jessica Lahey, where the hell have you been." A high pitch scream said on the other line. "Anna, I have so much to tell." I said chucking. Anna, one of my street fighter friends. A few years elder than me, but acts like a five year old but on field she is deadly. "Of course you do, you haven't talked to me in months, you just disappeared." She said her voice raising. "Anna as much as I want you to hear you scold me, I have something very important to tell you." I said getting serious.

"What is it." She asked, all the humor disappeared. "Well to start of with, I found my true family and they a apart of the Italian Mafia." I said and I got no reply from the other side. "My brother is actually the Don of the Italian Mafia." I said. "WHAT." Anna screamed from the other end and moved my phone away from my ear. 

"So here is the thing..." I told her everything, every single detail, the secret room, the Russians, how they are connected to the men who were chasing me. She grew more serious and worried when I told her about my mom, that I think that the Russians have her, the Swedish. I told her every minute detail. "Jess, I don't know what to say.... I'm worried about you baby." She said in a soft worried voice. 

"I'll be fine Anna, but I need you help." I said. "Anything, go on." She encouraged. "I want you do hack into the camera where my mom's car crashed, actually I want you to hack into all the cameras near that place, see if you could find anything suspicious." I said. "I'm pretty sure your brother already did this, he did say that he had is men on it." She said doubtfully.

"I know, but the hacking devices and methods we have there are more advanced. Just please to it. I want to start from the start." I said, I have a hunch that the Russians did something which Jem's men could never be able to figure out. "I remember Aaron saying that you can't completely delete the footage, erased yes but delete... I don't think they could have done it." I added, in mind everything was clear, but to explain it in words, it sounded like rubbish.

"Jess, even the police could have find out then." Anna said. "Anna, I know what I'm saying sounds like bullshit but please tell Aaron to see what he can do. I'm sure he can decode it or whatever it's called." I begged her. "Okay Jess. Be careful. I'll call you once I get any info." She said, finally agreeing.
