Inferno desires

9

I was looking straight into Xavier's fathers face. He had black hair that was slicked back with just enough gel, and striking grey eyes just like his son. He had a short, well kept beard that was salt and pepper colouring. He was fuckin fine!

"Who is this, and why is she here Xavier?" Asks his dad, in a voice that was sexy as fuck.

Oh my gosh brain, stop simping for this man! He is probably like 50 or some shit. Wait... I'm in the mafia den. How the hell could I forget about my case. There were at least 10 other people staring me down as soon as Xavier brought me in.

"This is Nova, and—"

Maya! What did Maya say to me?
The best way to take a group down is to... infiltrate them!

"I want to join your group!" I declare.

Xavier immediately looked at me with a stern look on his face, ever so slightly shaking his head. His father on the other hand looked amused.

"You wanna be a part of the Mafia?" He smirks.

"Yes sir," I nod.

"Why? I mean what will you, Nova, bring to the table?" He says leaning back in his chair, and brushing his thumb gently against his bottom lip, studying me carefully.

"I'm a smooth talker. I can get information for you easily," I say confidently.

"Darling, that doesn't do me any good. I get information through pain, not persuasion," he says.

"Well you don't need to always use pain," I scoff, rolling my eyes.

Whoops.

Everyone in their seats looked angry, as they all stood up and started most likely cursing at me in Spanish. Xavier then held me closer to him, shouting in Spanish as well.

"Settle down!" States his dad.

They all became quiet, and his eyes fell onto me yet again.

"I don't like your attitude darling, but I do however appreciate your guts. You can join Xavier's organization, but you have to show me proof that you have finished at least 2 jobs by the end of this week. I'll give you till Sunday."

"No!" Shouts Xavier's voice, and a memorable raspy tone.

"Ayla?"

"Frankie I won't allow this to happen," says Ayla, appearing out of nowhere. "She isn't meant for this world."

"What's wrong with our world Ayla?" Says Frankie, awaiting her response.

"Nothing sir, but if I may say, we have only ever known violence all our life. We read, sleep, and breathe danger. Nova doesn't," she says, not making eye contact with me.

"Ayla, my decision is final," he says.

"We'll take it back," she says.

"Excuse me?"

"Take it back. Please," she says again, in begging eyes.

"No. Now don't ask me again," Frankie says.

Ayla's jaw stiffened, as her blue eyes grew dark. Why was she so mad about me joining? Xavier didn't seem to mind now since I was going to be under his 'wing' so why did Ayla.

"Sorry sir," she says, through gritted teeth.

Ayla then looked at me, before turning around and walking into a separate room.

"That was odd," says Frankie, looking at me suspiciously. "Ayla never talks back to me?"

"Well she did now," says Xavier. "Now what job did you want me to do again?"

"Oh right! Since Nova is going to be here now, I want you to show her how you take care of liars," he says with an evil grin on his face. "He's in the basement."

I swallowed harshly. Was I about to witness a murder because I will not sit back and let someone die in front of me. I came here to solve my case, not to see someone killed.

I followed Xavier to this rusty gate outside. My eyes grew larger with each step I took toward that door.

"You alright mama?" He asks.

"Are you going to kill him?"

"Maybe, maybe not. Why do you care?"

"Because I won't witness a murder," I say.

He looks at me before laughing in my face. What was so funny about this situation.

"You can't do that mama," he says. "You can't say you want to be about the Mafia, but not participate in what we do."

"I can, and I will."

"Then stay up here, and not got information about your case, because that person down there. He's Alvaro Rodriguez."

He's gotta be shitting me! No way is the main fuckin suspect in my case literally just below my nose. Kieran would want me to go through with this because he's the type of guy who would do anything to solve his cases.

"Fine," I mumble.

He then opens the gate, and walks down the stairs. It was cold and damp, and I felt icky. What was I doing? I felt sick with myself. Was I actually about to watch a man die just for information?

I trudge behind him until I almost gag at the smell of blood overwhelming my nostrils. The man I was looking at was beaten and bruised. He had a broken nose with blood spooling out of it. His eyes looked lifeless, and his hair was matted.

"Oh my god," I shudder, covering my mouth to stop myself from hurling.

"Hey there Alvaro," says Xavier, walking toward him.

My hands were shaking. How was Xavier talking so casually. I didn't like it at all.

"Tell me about how you stole from my father?"

"I di- I didn't," he struggles to say.

"Oh, but you did. Now where is it?" Says Xavier.

"I don't... know."

Xavier then brings out a hidden knife in his shirt. He lines it to Alvaro's neck and looked at him with murderous intent.

"Where is it!" He shouts.

I felt faint tears form onto my bottom lid. I was scared.

"Xavier," I say quietly.

"I told you... I don't... I don't know where it is," he says, choking on blood.

"Xavier."

Xavier's hand pushed more against his neck, and blood trickled down from his knife. No I can't let this happen.

"Tell me!"

"Xavier!"

"What!" He shouts, turning his head to me.

"Don't. Don't. Don't." I kept repeating the same word.

What was I thinking. I can't infiltrate the Mafia. This is too much for me. You always read about shit like this and think that you'll be able to handle it, but if it ever were to occur in real life... let's just say it's traumatizing.

I soon felt wheezy, and I felt myself stumbling backwards. Blood. There was too much blood.
