The Mafia's Lost Assassins

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Adelina's POV

    Eventually, after the family meetings were over one of the mothers, Sofia, found us in the library pretending to be normal teenagers for a while reading books that didn't have to do with murder or destruction. It was a nice thought but it didn't change who we were. What we were.

    "I was thinking that we could have a family dinner and maybe a movie night to unwind after the incident in the mall." Luka gave a barely noticeable shrug and Santi seemed to want to make his mother happy so he agreed, making a small smile appear on her lips. "Okay, could you maybe ask the other three to join? I don't know where they ran off to."

    I gave a small nod not missing how she didn't call them by their name and seemed to want to ignore their personalities. But I kept quiet telling her a simple 'sure'.

"Where are The Aces anyways?" Santi asked the question we should've worried about sooner considering it was The Aces we were discussing.

I swear under my breath and pull out my phone calling Emmalyn hoping that she'd answer. While we could've searched the house it was more likely the three left the property because if Emmy was here someone would know where she was. Little attention seeker that she was.

After our brief conversation, I knew it was unlikely the three would show up anytime soon and all we could do was hope the three didn't cause too much damage in the hours they were having their 'fun'.

The Ace's didn't show up for the family dinner or the 'movie bonding' session as one of the younger brothers named it last night. Luis and Santiago sat next to one another after I badgered my teammate into it. It was clear they weren't comfortable together but by the end of the night, Santi was whispering into Luis's ear. Some of the older brothers in the front of the room squealed about it and I shared a look with Luka. Just because they were family didn't rule out the fact they were idiots.

    I texted Emilio again checking in knowing he was the most likely of the three to respond but I fall asleep before getting a response. The sound of yelling wakes me and I immediately grab my gun and a knife and leave my room meeting Santi and Luka right outside of it. We walk to where the sound of yelling is coming from and find Andrés and two of our fathers going off at The Aces who apparently broke into the house with the twins covered in blood. Emmy seemed to not care at all as she traced her hand with a knife that was probably sharpened and laced with a deadly poison. One wrong move and she'd be in a world of pain. Ze was focused on his phone and the only one half paying attention to the scene in front of them was Emilio.

The boy in question seems unbothered like his fellow teammates and cuts in when the yelling trio stopped to take a breath to inform us that he and his team would be going to bed as they were tired of the fun they partook in this evening. His wording clearly showed he spent too much time with his twin sister. 

I thought about it for a second before calling out to the three, "What did you do tonight?"

My little sister looked up from her knife with a maniacal smile, "Just a little bit of murder here and there. Typical Friday nights and all." With those parting words, a dainty shrug and a spin meant to show off her blood-covered dress.

While the behavior was normal to us the shock on the rest of the family's faces made it how messed up our own minds and The Aces' minds were. I could feel the weight of the stares of the family in question but I didn't have the words or care to try and explain this situation to them. So instead Santi, Luka, and I say our goodnights and head back to my room to figure out just who The Aces killed to assess how much danger and trouble we'd all be in come morning.
