The Don's Daughter

Chapter 34 *TW*

COLE'S POV

Its 1 a.m the weekend after my initiation and I'm in one of the standard issued Navigators with Remo, Dante and Frankie. We are going after one of Moretti's properties. The two guys that tried to get Ria were hired by Tony. Turns out Tony has been feeding information to Aldo Moretti, Enzo's father.

We have information that Moretti has been hiding Tony and this is most likely his location. It's abandoned and the Morettis have been using it as a safe house. We are staking out the place waiting for Tony, to make a mistake.

Word in the underground is Tony has an issue with meth. If this is correct he is going to need a fix and will climb out of his hole eventually.

"So do you think Guila was involved in this too?" Dante asks me.

"Yes but I can't prove it yet. I think she was supposed to get Ria away from me."

"Like that whore would be worth it." Frankie snickers.

Remo is staying quiet, and watching the building. "Do you think someone who wasn't born into this could adapt?" He asks still looking at the building.

"I'm mean sure look at Ric's mom." Dante responds.

"Enrica's father isn't a Bottero though." I chime in knowing where he is going with this. "So it's going to be more difficult but I think it's worth it Remo."

"Really?" He turns to look at me

"What am I missing?" Frankie speaks up.

"Brain cells idiota, shut the fuck up." I say and return my attention back to Remo. "If you like her go for it. She'll be protected just because she's dating you. We won't look at her differently."

"Would you be with Ria if she wasn't a part of this lifestyle?" Remo asked.

"Yes. Without question. It's worth it man. I want you to be happy."

I get a tight smile from Remo.

"Not to ruin this Brokeback Mountain moment you guys are having but isn't that our guy?" Frankie points.

We look and see Tony sneaking out of a window. Tweaker. There doesn't seem to be anyone else around. Morretti practically left him for dead. I turn the car down an alley parking in the back where there are no lights. We get out as quietly as possible and walk to the end of the alley. Hiding ourselves now we wait for him to walk by.

He's on the phone arguing with someone.

"You know I'm good for it. Cmon man".
Tony argues with whoever is on the other line. "She didn't get paid because she didn't separate them not because I didn't have it."

He's talking about Guilia getting in between Ria and me. My anger begins to grow.

"No man, I just want the blonde girl. I don't give a fuck about anything else. She's no one to anyone but me."

This mother fucker wants Ria? My rage is seriously about to go off.

"DeLuca calmati" My best friend urges me to calm down. This guy is dying tonight. I take the rope we had to tie I'm up and I make a makeshift noose out of it.

He still on the phone begging for his fix when I finally get my opertunity. He walks past us enough for me to sneak up behind. I have the rope my hands and I throw it over his neck.

"What the fuck" he yells as he drops the phone.

I pull on the rope so he falls on his back and begin to drag him towards the Navigator. He's flailing and choking the entire time.

"Hey Tone long time no see. What was it that you were just saying?" I pull the rope tighter so he gargles. "Don't strain yourself. There will be plenty of time to talk at the car."

I finish dragging him by his neck. His back and shoulders are all cut and bloody by the time we reach the SUV. I pick him up and shove him towards Frankie. Frankie takes my makeshift noose and ties Tony's hands behind his back then kicks his legs out.

"Now that we are all comfortable, Tony, how have you been?"

"DeLuca! It's not what you think. I'm not after Mr. Bottero." He blubbers. Disgusting, he's weak. Why did he think he could handle this life?

"I wasn't thinking that Tone. I was thinking what could have been going through your FUCKING head when you hired two scumbags to drug and kidnap MY GIRLFRIEND."

"I want her DeLuca. She would be perfect once she's broken in and trained and then I'd have to be top teir."

I pistol whip him hard across the face. Break her? Is this guy out of his mind? Dante has to stop Remo from attacking Tony himself.

"But you gotta listen to me I didn't tell Moretti who she was. He has no idea she's Mr. Bottero's daughter." He continues blubbering his face now all bloody.

"You didn't tell him that? Then why is he hiding you?"

"He just trying to take things you want so he can get access to the pipelines. He thinks you'll bend over backwards for your friends. He thinks I'm one. Victoria was my consolation prize for spilling."

I hit him again on the other side of his face. He starts to black out. I slap him to keep him awake. "You're not getting out that easy you fucking rat. I hope you enjoyed saying my girls name cause that's the last time you'll ever say it." I pistol whip him a third time across the jaw successfully breaking it.

I grab the hair on his head forcing him to look at me. "Blink twice if Guilia was in on this." He blinks. That fucking conniving bitch.

"What now DeLuca?" Remo asks

"He's a rat. What do rats do?"

"Spill their guts" Dante responds harshly.

"Pick him up." Remo and Frankie grab him forcing him to stand.

Dante stops me. "I can do this for you DeLuca." My best friend trying to look out for me.

"This one is mine DC."

I take my knife out and instruct Remo and Frankie to hold him still. He begins to yell and squirm. I quickly stick my knife in the right side of his abdomen. His face goes wide eyed and his mouth begins to fill with blood. I move my knife to the left cutting a hole in his stomach and watch his organs fall to the ground. Remo and Frankie drop a now dead Tony.

"Call the cleaners" I say to Dante. "Make sure Moretti gets the message."

Dante nods his head and gets on the phone. "Remo, Frankie help me clear and torch the warehouse." No one is in it but burning Moretti's property will send a message.

We are standing around watching the fire for a second. I'm smoking a cigarette trying to calm down. Frankie walks up and throws his arm around me. "I'm just now getting the spilling you guts thing." My temper is still to high to find him amusing.

Remo walks up and punches his shoulder. "Shut up idiota. C'mon DeLuca you need to get cleaned up before my cousin sees you."

Ria. The thought of her alone calms me down. I look at myself and I have Tony's blood all over me. Shit.

"Yeah let's go before the pigs come."
