I move around the room, checking every camera and computer screen.
"Hurry the fuck up," I yell in Italian, and the men scramble to do their job faster. A job they can't even do properly.
I sigh and shoo one of the men working at a computer, taking over it.
"Miss-"
He goes silent when he sees that in seconds I opened a file which was corrupted, that he was supposed to open hours ago. He takes it as a hint and walks away, not bothering to get back to his computer. I sigh and scroll through the file, till I reach XFP137280.
The file is a diary entry written by Luca De Moretti, hacked from his own computer. It was securely locked, and I have set my men to work on it, but clearly they failed horribly.

It's may, and I just found a file regarding Matteo Romano, the biggest mafia leader known in history. He owns over 45% of Russia, mostly being clubs, hotels and bars. To the world, he is a noble business man.
To us, he's an insufferable enemy.
His men took over my own shipments, clearly targeting me. They destroyed the homes of my people and killed their family with no remorse. There isn't a reason behind his actions, but he must pay the consequences.
And his head would do just fine.
I just printed out the file and handed it to my son, who will carry out my mission. In all hopes I wish to see Matteo dead, and hopefully my son will be the one to do so.
Originally, I had no idea of his location or who was behind the attacks, but a piece of paper appeared in my office one day that targeted him. I was interested, of course, who couldn't be? That person got through all my defences to leave a simple piece of paper on my desk.
And it turned out to be the person that caused me the most pain. I had to eliminate him out of our game, and what better way to do so than killing him? I would have no hands in this, and by the time my son returns the mafia will be in his hands, and if he will get targeted for taking Matteo down, it will be his problem and not mine.
Sick man.
When I first met Luca I was 19, running a mission with Antonio. Luca was from the same mafia as Antonio, and he was there to help him. Of course, I had a determination, I had to finish this, and I wouldn't let some petty man get in my way.
But Luca loved playing with fire, and fire he received.
As I stand up, the alarms start blaring and everyone stands up, grabbing their weapons. I draw out my pistol and jump when my phone vibrates in my pocket, scaring the shit out of me. I fish it out and look at the caller, Antonio.
"Yes?" I grumble, exiting the room with my pistol facing ahead.
"There is an interception at the shipment, Luca's men from what I can see."
"Yeah, I think they got inside the manor too," I murmur, connecting my phone to my earphone and putting it back in the pocket.
"Are you okay?" Antonio asks worryingly, and I nod.
