24. Coming To Her Rescue

★LUCIANO★

★THE NEXT MORNING★

The doorbell rang, startling us all. I immediately cocked a pistol and tossed it to Glenn, then signaled him to find out who was at the door. Meanwhile, Gerald and I held onto our guns as we took our hiding position, ready to shoot if need be.

"It's Romano!" Glenn announced before opening the door.

Almost at once, Romano's voice filled the whole lounge.

"Where is the Boss?" I heard his worried tone demand then I rolled out my wheelchair, so he could see me.

As soon as his eyes landed on me, his jaw dropped, and his face paled shortly.

With trembling lips, he took a few calculated steps towards me then paused when he was three feet away.

"What the hell happened to you, Luciano?"

"I got shot," I responded as if it didn't mean anything.

"Of course, I can see that. Look at the bandages around your arms and legs, yet you didn't deem it fit to discuss it with me over the phone?" His voice sounded more hurt than worried.

"You are here now. You found out about this, what is the fuss about?" I queried distastefully.

"What is the fuss about?" Romano snorted in disgust. "Coming to meet my best friend in such a dreadful state and you are asking me what the fuss is about? I don't have the right to be mad over this?"

I inhaled sharply.

Getting aggravated because Romano was merely expressing his concerns for me, wasn't appropriate.

So I lowered my head and managed a small. "Apologies. I should have informed you over the phone and I accept my blame."

Romano clenched and unclenched his fist, burning with seething rage. "That son of a bitch, Luigi did this right?"

I issued him an affirmative nod and Romano began cussing aloud.

"That motherfucking piece of shit! I will make sure he goes extinct from the surface of the earth without any traces. He has to die for trying to mess with you!" He sneered.

"He is also the one that killed my mother," I added.

At that moment, Romano almost went crazy. "Oh fuck me!" I watched him jab his fist angrily in the air. "How the fuck did he do that?"

"Well...he found out the hospital my mother was admitted in, went over there, removed her oxygen mask, and choked her to death." I finished explaining, prompting Romano to stomp his right foot violently on the floor.

"Just don't worry, Boss. I will handle Luigi alone. Me alongside those four men I brought would finish him off." Romano said to me, grasping the pistol from Glenn's hand, before surveying it.

"I am going with you."

"No no no." Romano shook his head vehemently. "That's not possible with your condition. I just need you to rest and get well, while the rest of us take them on."

"I can't rest," I interjected. "Knowing that Luigi is still somewhere, alive messes with my mind. I want him dead as soon as possible." I hardened my jaw then bit down on my lower lip to suppress the fury coursing through my veins.

Romano walked over to me, then took my hand in his. "Luciano. We need to calmly strategize the plan to attack because any wrong move can lead to a drastic turn. You being in this condition makes the situation worse if you go with us." He tried to convince me. Yet I was unyielding.
