"Did you find what I asked you to?" I ask and I can hear the man on the other end of the phone pathetically shaking.
"N-N-N-No s-sir, I'll g-get it d-done right a-away" he stutters
"Stop fucking stuttering and get the fucking job done" I say and hang up throwing my phone on my work table.
Can't do anything right.
I just need someone who can get information for me. Someone who has been doing it for a long time and actually knows what their doing. Someone who is good at covering their tracks.
I sit for a while trying to come up with alternatives and that's when it clicks.
Her.
God, that's the worst idea I've ever had but she's the only person I can think off right now who won't fuck things up for me.
She's good at what she does. It took us months to finally track her down and get her. She's the best choice I have if I want to put an end to Gabriel Ivanov.
He's been causing a lot of problems for me lately and he's also after my mafia and businesses. I can't let him get it. I didn't work this hard just for him to take it away from me.
I'll fight to the death if I have to.
I first need to find out who she works for before anything. I only got basic information about her but I know there is something hidden.
I guess I'll find out myself.
An exhausted sigh escapes my lips as I make my way out of my office towards the kitchen.
She said she was hungry so I'll give her some food then 'ask' her to work for me. I was angry earlier when I stomped out off her cell.
She just reminds me of her so much. When I finally got a look at her eyes I felt my breath hitch but I had to remind myself that she's not her.
She's dead.
I get to the kitchen and stop in my tracks as I see her hop down from the stool and move to the fridge to get water. She opens it and take a big sip before walking back to the counter and grabbing a slice of pizza.
You've got to be kidding me. Where is Luca? How has no one noticed her walking around freely?
She takes a bite of the pizza with no care in the world and I decide to make my presence known.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I ask with nothing but irritation laced in my tone. I don't have time for this.
She looks up slowly with the pizza in a mouth but still speaks
"Busted" she whispers but I obviously heard it making me roll my eyes at her childishness.
"I asked you a question. What do you think you're doing!" I ask again this time moving closer to her
"Eating?"she replies but it sounded more like a question as she continues to chew on the pizza.
"I can see that. I mean what are you doing going around like you own the place?" I ask and step in front of her making her turn to face me.
"I was hungry and your dumbass decided to leave me to starve so I had to take matters into my own hands and come find food" she says with a shrug and takes a sip of water.
I have to stop myself from going off on her for insulting me. I need her help.
"Where's Lu?" I ask
"If you mean the guy that came to check up on me then he's knocked out on the floor" she replies with a shrug before hoping down and moving past me.
I grab her hand and pull her back so she stands in front of me.
"Where do you think you're going?" I ask sternly
"To my cell? I just came out to eat" she replies with an eye roll almost as if insulting my stupidity.
"I want you to-" I start to speak but I'm interrupted by an angry and frustrated Luca running in.
"She's escaped" he says and moves closer to where I'm standing. He doesn't see her since I tower over her.
"Well don't you look pretty" she says and moves her head to look at Luca who now has a bleeding nose.
"You little sneaky bitch" he says and advances toward her but I move and put my body between them before they could start fighting again
"Bad bitch but thanks" she replies with a shrug and I can't help but roll my eyes at them.
"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. I want you to work for me" I finally says and a frown immediately makes it's way onto her face.
She goes to speak but Luca beats her to it.
"YOU WHAT?" He yells as he looks between the both of us.
"I don't work for anyone" she says ignoring Luca's comment and pulls out of my grip.
She begins walking away but I stop her the only way I know she will listen.
"I know you've been stealing from me" I say out loud making her stop but she doesn't turn to look at me.
"Damn double homicide" Luca throws in another comment but we both ignore him again.
"I wonder how that little girl will feel if she doesn't get her treatment next month" I say and watch as her body tense at the mention of the girl.
I wouldn't do anything to hurt her but she doesn't have to know that.
"Fine whatever" she says with a shrug and turns around to face but you could hear a hint of uneasiness in a voice.
"Good. Follow me" I say and leave the kitchen with her following behind me.
"I'll just chill out here then" I hear Luca announce but pay no mind to it as I lead her to the room she will be staying in.
