CHAPTER 40: she can't be...

Alessandro's POV;

As soon as I heard Roman say he got news on 'Z', I basically jumped out of my seat.

I'm not usually like this, but the fu**ing guy who goes by an alphabet; note the sarcasm, really hella annoys me!

But hearing about losing contact with our spy dampened my spirit at the same time. I knew there could only be one reason for that. He was caught! And, for certain dead by now.

I had a bad feeling about the news I'm going to hear. Say, gut feeling!?

"Bene? Romano? Mi fisserai in faccia per il resto della giornata o verserai quello che hai?"

("Well? Roman? Are you just gonna stare at my face for the rest of the day, or spill what you got?")

I still wanted to hear what we finally found out about 'z'.

Roman dramatically cleared his throught before speaking. He dumped a bunch of files on my desk as well. Probably written version of what he was about to say.

"Z is a female high ranking member of the American mafia, and also, one of their most skilled fighters. Her shooting skills are also not to be underestimated. There is no named rank for her, but anyone in their mafia, as long they are even slightly trusted by the higher ups, knows not to mess with her. She has more authority then their second in command."

That really piqued my interest.

Higher authority then the second in command huh?! That means she is someone with background, but also relied on by the top of their mafia.

I listened more seriously as Roman continued.

"How she looks is hard to find as even most higher ups of the American mafia have yet to see her face. But it is said she is pretty gorgeous. She is known to almost always wear a mask even in front of her subordinates. She had always attended the mafia ball, but kept a low profile to the point nobody noticed her."

I really did not know there was someone like that at the ball, for all these years.

"Tan, tan, taa!!" I didn't know wear Roman suddenly brought out a damn recorder. Did he seriously need that background noise. I'm pretty certain it alarmed the guards at the door. There was movement there despite them having not barged into the room.

Not being able to achieve the result of startling me, Roman coughed awkwardly before continuing.

"You really are too boring. Anyway, this is the most amazing part. Aparantly, 'z' is a Torsney!!!!"

My eyes widened at that! That really wasn't something I was expecting.

"A Torsney? How? Did the old don of the American mafia have any other kids? A daughter at that?"

I came back to myself after being slightly startled. This isn't something that should make me lose my composure! I eyed Roman, awaiting answers to my queries.

"Spot on boss! She really is his daughter. Don Xander and her are siblings who are extremely close. We weren't able to find anything else about her though. Not even a name."

I let Romans words sink. "Very well, you can leave now.....What is it? You look like you're hesistating to say something!"

Romans mouth moved a little, but he still looked hesistant and worried. "Spill it!"

My tone might have been a bit harsh, but he should never keep anything important from me.

"Boss, don't get mad ok. This is just a speculation on my side. You see, z and Alexis seems to have some similarities. Hear me out before flipping! The both of them have a similar build according to what I searched, and for the past three years z haven't attended any mafia ball. While Alexis seems to exist only during the past three years. We can't find much about her even now. She may....."

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" I couldn't help the shout. I knew what he was going to say. He suspects she is a spy. If this was before, even with so many loopholes I wouldn't let an even slightly suspicious person be. But now...

"Roman, I know where you're coming from. But for now, leave." I needed to think. They can't be the same person. She can't be a spy!
