Bad Blood 1: Adrienne

Chapter 18: Situation

Adrienne's POV:

This past month I've been between mafias. Dad's been helping me with the paperwork and I've been helping him with a few things for the Castello's mafia aswell. As a new partner I suggested we change the Mafia name and join mafias to be even more powerful, so the mafia is now known as the Pythons. We've really been improving and I've even developed my own reputation. I'm not going to live in someone's shadow.

People have been calling me the "Devil's Angel " apparently it's because I fight gracefully but am still brutal. Okay, I'll admit I have been in and out of the city handling a few missions. It's quite a rush, dad won't let me go alone obviously...so he has a whole team backing me up.

I have a meeting this afternoon with a group of allies, so I'm just in the boardroom preparing...the meeting is to update on shipments and discuss any growing pains in our asses that need to be dealt with.

***Intercom buzzes***

"Adrienne, there's someone outside who says she's a friend of yours" the security says over the intercom.

"Thank you Rutter, I'll be out shortly...just tap her down, do a scan and if she's clean send her in"

"Yes ma'am" he said hanging up.

I walked downstairs to the front door to see someone I thought I'd never see... It was Savannah.

"Heyy Andy" she said smiling and hugging me. I stood there slightly uncomfortable because Sav and I weren't that close to be hugging each other but still I missed her so I soon returned the embrace.

"What are you doing here? I'm not your responsibility anymore" I asked walking into the kitchen gesturing for Sav to follow me.

"I honestly miss you, Jess is so different she treats everyone like shit except for the family of course. I mean I know we are supposed to be guards and not friends but it's harsh. She doesn't talk or even acknowledge that I'm there that is unless she needs something. So I decided to leave..." She said sitting at the table across from the fridge. I walked over getting both her and I a glass of whiskey.

"That's rude of her, won't Chase do anything?" I asked sitting opposite from her sipping of my glass.

"No, I wouldn't dare say anything, I quit and I came here. I overheard Mr. Gentile say that you've become head of this mafia. I was hoping for a job here with you?" Sav said as she started playing with her glass.

"Well, there is a job opening here... I already have all the security I need but I need someone to be head of security, I also need a friend... it'll be nice if you could fullfil both positions." I said standing from my chair.

"Of course I'd be honoured." She said excited.

"Just one rule...we don't discuss the Dragons whatsoever" I said making sure to link eye contact.

"Of course" she said breaking eye contact.

I walked out of the room and out to the garden. Sav followed shortly after. I walked through steel doors and into the training centre. Sav seemed astounded by all the equipment and supplies. I suppose it was quite breathtaking compared to Chase's base.

"These are the men and women you'll be leading, they are respectful and follow orders well...I doubt you'll have trouble." I said watching as the older recruits lined up before me in a military formation.
