Shadow

Chapter 16

Armando (Nat's Father) Pov

I walk down the hallway to the meeting room. I'm at the end of the table. I sit down in my chair. Antonio is to my right, Sarah is to my left. Sarah, is an American woman. And an assassin. In Spain, she is known as the retriever. She's been working for my mafia since she was 18, she is a daughter to me.

Mateo, our hacker, and our engineer is sitting beside Antonio. I do not want to get the rest of my children involved, they cannot know what Natalia knows. Or, what I suspect she knows.

Sarah starts talking.

"Sir, the last sighting of her was in England."

"Where at?" I ask.

"London." She replies.

London was her mother's favorite place to go.

"And what was she doing?" I ask.

Sarah says, "Our sources say that she was in a mansion, the residents living with her were Aya Callabo, Roman James, and Tomas Queen."

I say to myself, whispering, "Мамка му, това не е добре."

None of them know Bulgarian.

I put on a poker face, and look down to the ground.

Antonio asks, "So, she left us willingly?"

"Yes." I say. "Yes, she did."

"Do you know where her current locations are now, Sarah?" Mateo asks.

If Mateo has her coordinates, we can nave Natalia back here within hours.

"No." She says.

"However, there was a reported unknown air craft. It was registered to Amara Abascal, which is a known alias, that Natalia uses. And this unknown air craft just flew to Spain. Which means she is inside the country. Now, she knows better than to go to public borders." She says.

I finish her sentences. "Which means that in order for her to leave the country, she will want to go privately. We can track her. We've little ground to cover. Most of the mafias around us are allies. She knows better than to go into the Lopez territory."

"But, why is she doing this father. She has Roman, Aya, and Tomas with her. Roman and Aya are mercenaries. Tomas is a huge illegal arms dealer." Antonio says.

Mateo says, "She is planning something, sir. Natalia is one of the smartest women I met. And I suspect-"

I tell Antonio to leave the room, I do not want him to know this.

Antonio obeys, Mateo carries on.

"And I suspect that she knows." We all look down to the ground staring blankly.

"Sir, Natalia is a highly skilled mercenary. She's been training for years without us knowing. Sir, I do not believe that she thinks highly of the mafia like your boys do. Sir, I know she is your daughter, however-" Mateo says.

I cut him off, I know what I have to do.

"Sarah?" I ask.

"What do you think we should do?"

"Well, sir, I think I should retrieve her. Alive of course. If I cannot, as Mateo said she is highly skilled, I should be able to get one of her associates, and we may move from thereon."

"That sounds good." I reply.

"So, I want You and Mateo to find her, and her associates. I want Natalia, if not bring Roman James."

Roman James is more of a soft spot for her than anyone I know.

"Start hunting in a week. We need to give her time to expose a little bit of herself, then we may go from there."

"Yes Sir." They both say in unison.

I leave the room.

I think to myself, Hija mia que has hecho.

(My daughter what have you done.)

I will not kill her, even though she isn't mine. She was my brother's. I owe him that much. She will just loose everything around her, she is trying to take everything around me. She is old enough, to where I do not have to treat her as a biological daughter. God, how am I going to keep this from my children.

A/N:
