Demon

chapter 37

Clara was terrified. She was greatful Damon allowed her a knife but she wished he had given her a gun. In her opinion a knife was useless against people who had guns.

The American gang had received a tip that she had escaped to Italy, and it just so happened they were in the country.

They had come for one reason and one reason only. To gather information on the Mafia. They were well aware the Mafia boss had all their information so they needed to find something on him.

What they never expected was Clara to have given information to the boss. All they knew was she refused to do what they had ordered her to making her a traitor especially when she ran away.

Of course the gang believed it could be a set up so they planned it too. Just as Damon predicted.

In fact Damon specifically made it look like a set up so the entire gang could be there. He knew the gang would only send a few men to collect Clara if they didn't think there would be trouble.

So that led to Clara being stuck in the middle of an abandoned shipping area. There was plenty of places to take cover but she was out in the open. She knew Mason was on the roof of one of the buildings with a sniper trained on her. She was also wearing a wire which Damon and Mason could hear everything. One wrong word and Mason sound kill her.

Damon had spread the word that Clara was going to be at the shipping yard and because the American gang were paranoid about an attack they were all hidden as the gang leader and his second in command approached Clara.

"Well look who it is, you thought you could escape back to your home. You can't escape us you stupid girl" the leader  said glaring at her.

She was one of the best members but she went against his orders so he had to make an example out of her.

"Tell us, is this a set up" the second in command asked in a kinder tone.

Yes they had a thing at one point.

"Everyone knows the Mafia run this area, and they certainly wouldn't be bothered with you low lives,  smaller criminals may have noticed you but no one as powerful as the Mafia would bother you're just not worth their time and you're not worth my time either " Clara said. She knew just saying no was an option but she wanted to insult them.

"You know you could always come back now and we could consider giving you a second chance" the second in command said as he stroked her cheek.

The leader rolled his eyes "she's not going anywhere, she's going to infiltrate the Mafia, she's the only one who's Italian it will make her fit in more easy and read all those documents " he said.

"And then you can come home to me" the second in command said.

"I left for a reason. I rather be alone forever then get back with you" Clara said pushing him away.

"Right clearly this isn't a set up we've been here too long. Grab her and let's go"  the leader said.

"Perfect " the second in command said looking at her with lust.

At the same time, Damon had been listening to the conversation. He hadn't done anything as he wanted to observe the relationship she had with the boss.

The second in command leaned over and whispered something. Damon only heard because of the wire.

"I'll have the boss spare your life but don't think you're off the hook. I'm gonna make sure you're punished, thoroughly." He whispered.

Damon didn't like the lust in his eyes as he spoke to her. He simply shot the man in the leg.
