Under Control

Ch 42: Donny Denatello

Damien pov:

"Why not!?"

"Don't be rash Damien."

"Greenwood's behind it. We find him and gut him LIKE A FUCKING FISH!" 

We'd been debating on what to do since finding his phone, it was nearing noon and I was more than ready to take on Greenwood. Azrael sighs and pushes me back as she speaks.

"You're not thinking. We don't even know who he is." She had a point, I'm just so angry. I want this piece of shit dead.

"Then we find Donny." I push her back.

"What do you think I've been making you do for the past couple weeks!?" She pushes me again. I tried to punch her but she caught my arm, twisted it behind my back, and forced my face Into the desk. 

"LISTEN TO ME!" She yelled at me. I was annoyed that she was right. We wouldn't get anywhere without finding Donny.

"Fine… fine." She lets me go and I rub my arm in pain. We stood around the table for a few moments before Lily spoke up.

"Why would Greenwood attack him?" She rubs her chin, keeping herself calm in this situation.

"He was on a special mission you gave him." Axe looked at my sister. Claudio was on a special mission?

"It can't be because of that, it had nothing to do with Greenwood." She waves it off but I snort a dry laugh.

"What was he doing? Now is not the time to keep secrets." I stare her down. She narrows her eyes and gives in.

"He was watching our Father."

"Why!?"

"He's been acting weird, Damien. I was right to do so, Josie has been talking to him privately." She looked pissed again, her eyes cold and distant.

"This doesn't sound like something that would involve Greenwood." Axe rubbed his beard, his eyes focused on Claudio's phone in the middle of the table.

"Unless…" Lily mumbled looking away from Az and I.

"Unless what?" I asked, she couldn't be assuming what I think he is.

"Unless he's working for Greenwood. It's just a theory." She shrugs and waves it off almost immediately.

"Or worse." Az spoke up this time.

"No way. He's a hardass and an asshole but he's not a traitor." I defended him. They all looked at me with sollem looks.

"He wouldn't!" I shouted but they just kept their gaze.

"We need to cover all bases." Az sighed. I can't believe she's going along with this.

I wanted to protest and shout more but a lackey came in panting and waving a photo around.

"What is it?" She went up to the smaller guy. He handed her the photo and hunched over trying to catch his breath.

"Donnys doing a deal at Zeruf warehouse." Her eyes widened as she looked the picture over, it was of him and a man in a mask shaking hands.

"How long ago?" I asked the guy.

"An hour ago. His men will be in the area for longer though." I didn't need to hear the rest.
