Gentle For Her (Editing*)

Chapter Twenty-four

Leonardo

"Oh Leo, there you are. Where did Anna go" Mom asked.

"Had a little disagreement and she stormed off, but I sent one of the guards to keep an eye on her." I said sheepishly.

"About what" Sofia asked.

"Well her friend Mario was here and after he left, I told her that I don't like him and she got mad that's when she stormed off." I said all in one breath.

"I never liked that Mario, there was something off about him and that Vasily friend of his. Something about those two never sat quite well with me but knowing Savannah she always defended them saying 'you don't even know them mom' so I never brought it up." Her mother said and now I definitely knew Mario was bad news.

My phone chimed in a text from Enzo: Savannah has been taken, found Jason on the floor knocked out.

I threw my phone across the room and all eyes were on me and by all eyes I mean literally everyone inside the place was looking at me.

"LEONARDO WHAT HAPPENED" my father yelled.

I didn't answer him and ran straight to the parking lot, they followed behind me. Enzo was standing next to a blacked out Jason.

"What happened, where's my daughter" Bruce asked.

"She was taken a couple of minutes ago" Enzo replied and Bruce lost it.

"They took my daughter, who had the guts to take my fucking daughter." He yelled while Sophia was trying to calm him down.

"Okay everyone let's all go back to the house, we will find whoever took Savannah and they're gonna pay with their lives" my father suggested and judging by the look in his eyes, I knew whoever took her was fucked.

We piled up in the cars and went back home, the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Ben had already returned with the girls and they were passed out on the couch with Lilo and Stitch playing on the TV. What am I gonna tell them, shit. Sofia saw my dilemma and came to rub my back in a comforting manner. She went to wake the girls up and took them up to their room, Ben stayed passed out on the couch. I went to Mani's room, Enzo, my father and Bruce followed behind. Mani was already looking at the footage from the parking lot, Enzo must've texted him.

"I have the footage and here's the van they put her in. There is no registration though so I cannot really do much at this point." Mani said turning around facing us with a disappointed face.

"Move over boy, let Uncle Bruce handle this." Savannah's father said and Mani did as instructed.

He typed several things, pressed a few buttons and he had the list of everyone who owned a white van in LA. He tapped a few more buttons and he found out who owned that particular one.

"Vernon Smith, do you know him" he asked facing me. I shook my head and he nodded. He typed on further and his address came up on the screen.

"How on earth did you do that" Mani asked in shock.

"Well dearest child, a hacker never reveals his secrets" Bruce said with a smirk.

"We got the address let's go boys" My dad said leading the way to the weapons room.

We geared up and went to Vernon's apartment which was in the dangerous part of LA. It was me, Bruce, my father, Enzo, Ben who we had to pour with cold water for him to wake up and Toni. Gio was nowhere to be found. The place was a dump, why would he even bother with Savannah. We waited in the Tahoe for I don't know how many hours. The van eventually arrived and there was Vernon with another guy. We followed them in, the aim was to be as discreet as possible that was until Toni kicked down the door. I gave him a really look and he just shrugged, typical Toni.
