259,200 seconds.

Since ive last seen the other half of my heart. Since I last slept. Since the last time i've spoken unless about this exact topic. Adam along with his most trusted have arrived. Everyone is seemingly avoiding me except for my family. I understand, i'm very easy to snap right now.

I am losing my mind. Slowly but surely and if something doesn't give soon a lot of people will die. My humanity will leave my body. The entirety of Italy will feel my pain unless something fucking gives.

You can't take my sanity and expect me to remain sane.

I've spent every minute I can searching for him. Wracking my brain on where he could be. I know they're in Italy but what part? What city? What warehouse? I need to be calculated. This is not only Dom we're talking about but my mother as well as other potential survivors. I don't want anyone harmed and I don't want to raise suspicion that they move them off the grid.

I'm sitting on the couch with my laptop. My favorite gun on one side and storm on the other. I made Dom a promise and I intend to fucking keep it. I see a gaurd approach my father with a box.

"Don this package has arrived, we've checked it for bombs and trackers, it's clean." He says while handing the package over bowing and leaving.

"My soul, come over here." He says. I reluctantly get off the couch. I put my gun in my waist band and I tell storm to come with.

"I believe this is for you." He tells me once he sees me with a raised brow. I see the writing on the package. I open the box to find a camera.

I know whose hand writing this is and I know what's on this camera.

"Call everyone to the office Papa. Please tell them it won't be a good sight to see. If they want to remain doing what they are that is fine." I tell him. He understands but he has a weary smile displayed.

Everyone is in the office. Everyone of importance that is. Papa, Myself, Hugo, Dexter, Dove, Octavia, Adam and Of course storm. He hasn't left my side unless it's to be with Octavia when I instruct him too. Everyone wondering why they were called here. Dove sees the box, she sees the writing on it and she knows what we're in store for. She sits next to me holding my hand.

"My father received a box this morning. A box addressed to me. I know whose hand writing this is and I know what this means. The contents of this camera will not be good. It will not be a happy show. If i'm right this camera contains Dominic being tortured. They declared war long ago but three days ago they sealed their fate. If you don't think you can sit through these contents, please leave." I tell everyone and no one moves.

"Very well then." I say to them.

I take out the camera and see a note. My body immediately stills when knowing the handwriting.

"Hello Doll, I know you'll see this letter. You could stop all of this I hope you know, You just turn yourself over to me in two days time and this will all be over. I'm not a monster, i'll give you time to say goodbye to your loved ones. If you want to save the American Mafia Boss you just need to turn yourself over to me. We could be a happy family. I killed my father for you and i'll kill anyone who gets in the way of me having you. My father promised me you for a wife and if you wouldn't have escaped we could have been living happily. You just don't listen though, Don't worry i'll fix everything when you come to me.
