Siempre Mío

Anastasia POV

"How many of them?"

"Two or three cars. They all look like regular cars but they're definitely following me." Alexei said.

"Good. Just come to the location as planned."

"What if it's an ambush?"

"Let's take our chances and hurry. I need to get back so the girl doesn't die quickly. God knows what those idiots are going to do whilst I'm not there." I rolled my eyes.

I opened my car door and got in, thinking about all the horrific things I would do to the woman who murdered my father.

It felt good to imagine the torture I would bring to her, but I would be even more satisfied if I was there doing it myself.

Lorenzo POV

We were driving towards the location and the silence of the drive was slightly
uncomfortable.

"What's the plan Lorenzo? We haven't thought this through."

I scoffed, "I know that Antonio. All I know is that Lucía escaped somehow, and we need to save her."

"And she didn't give you a report on the number of guards there, the exits, nothing?"

"She didn't have the time; it's a miracle
thag she hadn't been caught the second she escaped Javier."

"I know, I know. I'm sorry."

I counted four cars following mine, all of them owned by our men.

The Don had sent them with us to make sure that if a fight was what they were asking for, we would give them a war instead.

"Don't worry about the weapons, I have plenty in the boot of my car." I
told to them, knowing that we were only a few minutes away from the location.

"How much is plenty?" Antonio asked.

"Wow. You really meant it when you said you had plenty." Javier stated, letting out a low breath as his eyes widened at the stash of guns and ammunition I had in my car. 

"I like to be prepared." I shrugged.

"Prepared is a few guns and some extra mags, Lorenzo. You have 'prepared' for an entire mafia takedown plus the disarming of six gangs."

"What's your point? I am the second in command for the largest mafia in Europe and you're telling me, what- that it's wrong to be prepared?"

"Lorenzo. You need to relax a little bit. If you're too enraged for this, it could lead to complications that we don't need. Don't let your rage lead your head the wrong way and stop yourself before you do something you regret. We're on your side here, don't forget that. " Javier said to me.

I let out a sigh and closed my eyes as I took a deep breath.

"You're right. Theres no point in me getting all worked up about this. Javier, take your group down this side and scan the perimeter for any guards. This place is hidden with woodlands and we don't want the fight to end up there. Do not engage until they have spotted you. Antonio, take your group down the other side and do the same. I will try to call the number and find Lucía with my group but if you find her first, take her back to the cars and then contact me. Not a second before. We need to ensure her safety before our own."

They both nodded at me and called their groups off quietly, leading them away as my group began to advance towards the building, guns at the ready as we went to the location that Lucía had told me to find her at over the phone.
