POV: Donato 

"So what did you find? Aaron got anything useful out of the digital data?" I asked Hunter as we sat down in the study. 
"The guy we are looking at is Randyll Dawson. As I told you, he worked in the gang for a year. I enquired with a few older gang members and found out that he was homeless when he joined the gang." 

"How did he have a house now then? In just a year?" I asked, being confused. 
"That's not his home, it is registered under someone else's name." He said. 
"Whose?" 

"Guess." He said and smirked slightly. I looked at him confused and thought for a bit. 
"I've kicked out many people from the gang. Just tell me." I said and looked around, still thinking. 

"Santiago." He said. 
"No way-" I suddenly gasped from shock. "No, the fucking way," I said. 
"I had the same reaction." He said and my phone dinged. I looked at my phone and it was a notification from Hunter. 

"Why are you playing games with me, Hunter?" I said and opened the photo he had sent me. 
"It's evidence." He said. "This was an email sent to Randyll to Santiago." I put my phone down and looked at him. 

"Explain it, I don't understand this connection." 
"You remember when you went to the warehouse where you found Guiliano dead?" He asked. I nodded a yes. 

"Santiago was there right?" I nodded a yes. "I checked for the security footage of the outside of the building that day and of a few days before that." I listened to him carefully. "3 men were roaming around the warehouse a day before you guys went there." 

"And?" I drank a little water and listened. 
"Why was only Santiago attacking you guys? Why weren't those 3 other men there to attack you? Because-" 
"Because it was never about us," I said, cutting him off. Hunter gave me a reassuring look. 

"When Jewel was kidnapped, the guy who attacked her...only Hayley was able to understand him. He was speaking in her tongue." He continued and I nodded as I started to make sense of his words. 

"Still, three of us were there to save Jewel but only one guy was there to attack us? Does this not seem like bullshit?" He said and started roaming back and forth in the study. "How is it that Xavier took Hayley after she had already spent months here? Why did he not do it sooner if it was so easy for him?" Hunter kept putting up questions. 

"Because every time we were ever distracted, he got info on how Hayley is living here, how you two are doing, he knew everything. Donato...he used the method of distraction to get all that he wants to know." He said and looked at me. 

"Randyll kept informing him..." I said as I got a hold of this story's thread. "Santiago gave Randyll the offer to help him in exchange for money. Santiago didn't want revenge on me, he wanted to distract me...for Xavier." Hunter nodded a yes. 

"And do you remember the shipments we lost?" 
"Of course I do," I said. 
"Those shipments were stolen and then found again, doesn't that seem like a distraction too?" I nodded a yes. 

"We've been getting fucked up by this Randyll...FUCK!" I shouted and groaned. 
"He was right under our noses when Jewel got kidnapped, Ezio got killed, Marcus was burned, and when Hayley was taken," Hunter said. "He probably helped in them too." 

"Get this fucker beaten up, dragged here, and tied up like a dog, Hunter. I want him to fear having the last talk of his life." 
"On it." He said and went out of the room. 

I took out my phone and there was a notification from Richard, The Eagle. I opened the text and read it. "I have some information on your chick. Call me ASAP." It said. What does he have on her?
