The gangster's little unknown assassin - Part 2 ✔

Chapter 19 - The chase

SIN'S POV

The moment we pinpointed where the shots came from, we didn't waste any more time and took off towards the building across the street. Two men died and one is injured but with no danger of dying, whoever had the balls to shoot at my men right in front of my property is going to pay.

Diesel, Deper, and Bruno came with me, we ran up the steps until we reached the roof, and once there we only found a rifle and a piece of paper.

Bruno and Deper went towards the rifle and Diesel and I watched our surroundings, trying to find anything that gave away where the shooter went.

"MOTHEFUCKER!" Yelled Deper suddenly. His scream made me and Diesel immediately go towards him, Bruno's eyes only twitched and Deper's whole body was vibrating with anger.

"What is it?" Diesel gruffly asked, nodding his head towards the pieces of paper both men were holding. Deper trusted the paper into my hands and grabbed the rifle, leaving the roof right after.

" 'YOU ARE WELCOME' " I read out loud the bold letter in the piece of paper Deper handed me.

"Welcome? I'M FUCKING WELCOME!? This dude comes into my turf and kills my men and tells me that I'M WELCOME! WHO THE HELL DOES THIS PIECE OF SHIT THINK HE IS?!" To say that I'm angry is an understatement, this motherfucker will pay, that I can guarantee.

" 'Btw you may keep the rifle' " I read the last sentence and ball up the paper, throwing it down the building and towards the bar we were in before this shit happened.

"Boss, this rifle belongs to John." Bruno told me. Diesel's eyes take a murdering glint to them and before any of us can react Bruno speaks again.

"There's more boss, the man left an envelope addressed to Zeke." Diesel reacts quicker than I and rips the envelope from Bruno's hands, opening it right after, but what he takes from there, is something that I don't know how to interpret.

Abruptly, from the corner of my eyes I see movement on the roof of a building not so far from here. I react straight away and send Bruno and Diesel back to the bar.

"Show that shit to your cousin and keep watch of the turf, I'm going after the shooter, and DON'T YOU DARE FOLLOW ME, THAT FUCKER IS MINE" I yell my last few words while running towards the edge of the building, getting ready to jump.

"SURE THING, CAPO (boss)" Bruno answered just as I jumped to the roof of the next building. The shooter had almost three buildings advance over me but I didn't give up.

We kept up this little game of cat and mouse for at least twenty minutes, by then we were on the poor side of Sicily, the side with a shit load of small houses at risk of failing at any given moment. This is when I curse my luck for being slightly drunk and forget my gun in my office, if this was an ambush, I would be dead by now.

The assassin jumped on the roof of a very unstable-looking house and almost fell down. Some of the roof tiles fell and broke, I hesitated following him, but after seeing that he was not giving up, that he walked through the roof and jumped down on the floor, I decided to follow him.

"HAAA!" Just a few seconds after the man jumped down I heard this feminine scream. I hurried my pace and hurriedly crossed the roof. I hope whoever screamed is ok. If that bastard is hurting a woman, I'll fucking kill him slowly. It took me almost two minutes and almost falling off the roof for me to finally reach the spot from which the man jumped from. I did the same. And just when I reached the floor and lifted my head to see if I saw either the shooter or the woman who screamed, I saw her.

A small figure on the ground. Big blue anxious and fearful eyes looked into mine, blond strands of hair fell around her face. She had a protective hand over her stomach and that's when I noticed that this young girl, no more than seventeen, if seventeen at all, is pregnant.
