When one of Kohler's goes missing, it leaves a trail of clues and mysteries for the others to solve. Are they being pursued by a new foe, or did they flee on their own? Also, fresh knowledge about Adele's father's family comes to light in the years...
"X, are you sure about this?" Adele asked while Xerxes ready himself to call Alexei. No, he wasn't sure, but he hoped this was what the man wanted and not war. They had nothing to do with Dimitri and his mother. They did, but that was in the past, and should have stayed there. The problem was that nobody knew how to leave the past behind, and it took them years to find the strength to come out or fight.
"I'm sure, Ma. Only one way to find out it's to call him and make an offer."
"Yeah, but I have a problem with that offer Xerxes. We are giving your sister's hand in marriage. I don't care if this is what he wants... all we're doing is letting him win." Dele sighed right when Luca laid his hand on her shoulder, forcing her to look up at him. A low sigh released from Xerxes's lips too. Mainly because he knew he was risking a lot by doing this. The last time he made a deal like this, his little sister ended up getting beat.
"No, necessarily, Ma. I'll make it clear to him that it's Talia's decision. If Alexei is anything like I heard he is... he'll blow it. All I'm going to say is sit back and watch, but I don't think killing him is worth it."
Aware of this, he gingerly removed the landline from its hook and phoned Alexei's number. Thus, he knew their phone number could not be tracked to their location if Alexei's technical team was as good as theirs. It took a few tries for the man to even think about picking up the phone, and everyone knew why. When a blocked caller calls, it makes everyone in the mafia business a little nervous. Because block numbers usually meant trouble and something that needed to be tracked down before answering. Alexei, on the other hand, just kept ignoring the calls.
'Whatever it is, I'm not fucking buying!'
'You sure about that because it may be something good.' Xerxes spoke, waiting to see if the man recognized his voice or did he know it at all.
'Who is this?'
'Damn, here I thought you knew me since you have someone that belongs to my family.... I want her back, and I will do what it takes. So, if you don't want war or to die, Alexei, you'll sit down and listen to what I have to say.'
'And if I refuse.'
'I don't think you what to do that.' X spoke, waiting for him to say something back. After a moment of silence, Xerxes began to speak again.
'I thought so. I think I have a solution, one that you cannot refuse.'

Somewhere in Nigeria
"Nibo lo wa?! (Where is she?!)." The man yelled. Things were getting out of control, and she was locked up in her room or somewhere laid up with a man... or a woman. It was no telling with her. One thing he did know was that everything she had done over the last few years was coming back and biting them in the ass. Now she wanted another war with the Köhler's, knowing they would lose.
