The Knife In My Hand

Chapter Twenty, Bug

Point Of View - Elma Farfalla Bianchi

      Right now I just want to hide my true self but for some reason every wall I bring up comes down. We have spent the last couple days learning about each other. I have planted bugs all over the house. The rule I made for myself is that I can't use the information. That I learned or gathered for personal gain in my mafia or other divisions.

      Laying on my bed pretending to read an audiobook. When really listening to the bugs that are placed around the house. Even if I have been here for a while you know they could strike at any moment. Smash I hear one of my bug crashes. Damit, they have found it. It's time to call Akira, my Head of Technologies in The Rose Dragons.

      Springing off the bed and going to my desk where I have hidden my Red Rose stuff. Looking into the open bottom drawer of my desk before removing the false bottom. Just staring at my preferred type of knives. Picking up the black spear point blade that's next to the gray drop point knife instead of grabbing the phone. Now twirled the black blade in my hand for a moment before putting it away.

      Once done just spinning the knife in my hand. I dialed Akira number on my G-Phone. She picked up and spoke first. "Yes, Donna?"

      "They have found the bug." My voice was very irritated.

      There was a sign from Akira. "It's untraceable. Is there anything else?" You better hope it's untraceable.

      "Are you sure Akira?" I asked her as I started passing around the room.

      "If not, they have a pretty good hacker who could penetrate my firewalls. Which to my knowledge they don't Donna." She reassured me on the phone as I grabbed a pen from my desk.

      I take a deep breath. "I am trusting you Akira." I spined the pen in my hand like a knife.

      "Thank you Donna." Then the line goes dead. You better hope that things don't go sideways Akira with this task. I get up from my desk and flop face first into the nice soft bed. Ug, that reminds me to change the mattress to something more hard. One night I could not take it and slept on my floor. That next morning Luca woke me up by entering my room. He looked at me, blinked a couple of times and just told me that breakfast was ready.

      Rolling over to my back staring at the quote on the ceiling. 'Never bend your head. Look the world straight in the eye. Helen Keller' This quote is one of my favorites because I can relate to it. I don't bend my head down to others and I am not afraid to look people in the eyes.

      Now letting out a sigh. What are my family doing right now? Before leaving my room, I prepare my room so if someone snoops they can't find anything without dinging too deep. Also they would get away with it because of my very small cameras around the room. I double checked my room making sure everything that would reveal my different identities is put away hidden.

      Preceding down the hallway heading to the second floor living room. stopping for a moment pausing in the middle of the hallway. Let's put hair dye in one of my brother's hair! It would definitely loosen up the mood around the house. Turning around, making my journey back to my room and searching my prank wet box. I dump the box all over the floor having things scatter in front of me.

      It takes me five minutes to realize that I only have enough for two rounds of green hair dye and nothing else. "Man! I forgot to refill after my encounter with my other family's prank war." My hand slaps my head out of my mistake.

      Hm, who do I play with... Damien would not take it well and I want to keep him close. Dante would be furious but Romeo would be a good target. Ricco is too serious, U-m Mateo I don't know how he will react. Something I know for sure Luca would start a prank war with me. Now who did I forget... O ya Romeo, from my interaction with him it would not be a good idea to do it.
