Mafia Princess

chapter. 7

I walk into Ella's house and she is walking up and down,so restless. She turns to look my way when I walk in and she looks a little relieved to see me.

"who died?" is the first sentence coming out of my mouth.

"what? Nobody died." she says hugging me "just wanted to show you something."

"a dead body?"

" Jesus Robin," she snaps.

"what is it then? I mean you sounded like we are dealing with a murder case or something."

"come with me." she leads me to her study room and she flops on the chair as I stand behind her.

Something about this is sending chill shivers down my spine.

She turns on her laptop and she plays a video. I sigh when I see Bred's dad hugging Bred tightly.
"Ella, why are you showing me this?" I say walking to the couch at the corner of the house and I drop my purse on it. "am not fucking interested with a god-damned father-son reunion."

"Rob, you're not paying attention."

"okay I know you're an investigator and you do the paying attention thing all the time." I snap " I don't have time for this." I scoff dropping myself lazily on the couch. All this is tiring me.

I watch as she gets off the chair rolling her eyes and pushing a few strands of her hair to the back of her ear.
She walks to me and grabs my hand dragging me to the table.
" look." she pauses the video and zooms the screen untill I see his dad has a gun pointed on his stomach and my feet grows cold.

"what is going on?"

"now listen." she plays the video and..

"you are going to do as I say." his dad snarls "you are going to make the girl trust you again, and this time don't be stupid enough to let her find out what is going on. Am not yet done with the falcons"

"or what?" Bred dares

"or I fucking blow your intestines out and have her brought here, let her watch as dogs eat your lifeless body."

"you wouldn't do that, am your son." Bred points out.

"well, may be I won't," his dad smirk "but do you know what I'll do?" he gets his gun tacked away. " I'll get zuma here and Vin over there to go and get her stupid ass over here. You know I won't be nice."

"they won't be able to get to her. She is protected in her dad's territory."

His dad laughs lightly, "oh boy, I have eyes on her day and night and I can tell you that she is at her friend's house as we speak..."

"whaat?!" I almost tell. "you hacked his CCTV?" I start getting scared. "youre going to get us killed Ella."

His dad interupts me, "The girl was dumb enough to sneak out." he keeps quite for a moment as if he's waiting for something. "this is the part where you tell me whether you are going to have her trust you again or burry her." he stands and adjusts his coat "the clock is ticking boy."

Bred remains standing, dumbfounded, confused before walking opposite the direction his dad went.

"Ella, I need you to explain what I just saw."

" I told you that Bred is innocent, his dad is forcing him to do things. And because Bred loves you he chooses to do as he says to keep you alive." she explains.

My head is spinning from all the information am trying to process and Ella just keeps adding more.

"You have not even graduated and you're already investigating the most dangerous mafia in town?" I get more paranoid. "How did you even get to hack his system?"
