The Divine Gifted

2: The Mafia

6:43 pm

The helicopter arrived at the mafia base a couple of hours later. It landed smoothly as Flynn and his men got off.

The helicopter blades swung, causing Flynn's hair to blow. He put on his black blindfold and looked at his men.

"Check on my other soldiers. I want them for an annual check tomorrow morning," Flynn commanded as he walked through the doors to the stairs.

Later, he walked into the boss's office. There were tall bookshelfs and a window with a view of Big Ben. The mafia building was concealed by a fake manufacturer business that is said to work in this building. Their mafia was in London with Italian roots. The leader and Flynn both came from Italy.

"Ahh, that took longer than expected." The boss played with the Newton's Cradle on his desk. Flynn walked closer as the beads made a slight tap sound.

"You know, if you're going to send a vehicle to get me, at least get the jet." He complained, staring in the direction of the boss.

"Noted," the boss smirked as Flynn sat down, "I assume you took note I didn't give you any help this mission?"

"Yes, sir. If you wrote something in that little book on your desk, I would've been able to tell."

Romeo Barone, age 43, is the boss of the Mafia with the ability of creation. Anything he writes down will come true when he uses his ability. However, this power will drain his energy depending on how heavy the fate he writes. So, he can only write once every thirty days.

"Truth be told, Flynn, I prefer when I don't help you. The process of your escape is far more entertaining."

"Why thank you, boss. I do what I can." Flynn grinned as he stroked his lip with his thumb.

The boss folded his hands, "I have your next mission already in the making."

"Oh?"

Romeo pointed to the screen behind him. The screen showed an older man wearing a crown and royal etire.

"This is the King of Denmark: Oscar III."

Flynn lifted his blindfold slightly and looked at the screen as Romeo continued, "I met him at a royal banquet he held while I was on a mission there. I saved his life in the process, and he now trusts me completely."

Romeo stood up and walked around to Flynn, "To be honest, my actions were strictly for the job. I have no interest in the King. I assume he believes his relationship with me will benefit him. i he was ever in a bind. However, my predicament is useful for our current situation."

"Which is?"

"My research team believes that one of his daughters is a gifted. If so, we must execute her."

Flynn looked surprised, "Wouldn't we want to recruit her if she's a gifted?"

"Like I said, Flynn. I have no interest in the king. Gifted can use their powers for good, and that's a problem for us. So, it's better to put out the spark before it catches on fire."

"Do you know what gifted ability one of the princesses has?"

"Afraid not. All we know is the ability is a female and all the kingdom staff are male."

Flynn leaned back in his chair, "How will we get close to them?"

Romeo smiled, "You see, Oscar doesn't know you're my consigliere. He asked me if one of my men could serve as a bodyguard while his current one recovers from his fatal injuries."

"And you want that bodyguard to be me?"

"Excatly."

Flynn stood up and looked at him, "What about my position here?"
