Mafia Men IV: Rossi

Chapter 33

I smoked my third cigarette of the day and ran my hand through my hair. I had no leads. The bastard was too thorough. I watched the surveillance tapes of the whole night. I couldn't help but rewind to see the part when me and Lia danced. The way she smiled at me showed me all the love she had for me. The way I smiled at her said the same. I couldn't even sleep. The thought of even going into my room or laying in that bed without her made me want to kill somebody well more people. I finally had access to the outside surveillance and watched as three of my guards let this one girl flirt with them as the bastard Nic walked right past the entrance. It seemed convenient almost too convenient and I couldn't find who the girl was. I asked those guards for a description of which magically none of them had a description of so I put a bullet in each of them. Ever since Tyler hasn't left my side because he believes that I'm unhinged. I've always been unhinged just Lia being gone set the bar higher set my need to give into this destructive energy higher.

"This girl" I said "She looks familiar"

Tyler looked up at me going through his own set of tapes. He came around my desk and looked at the girl.

"Boss you have a visitor" one of my men said at the door

"Tell them to fuck off" I said and he stood there

"Sir he said he's not taking no for an answer" He said

"Fine. I haven't killed anyone in a couple of hours. Send him in." I said and soon Brandon walked in and I was pissed.
"What part of ill let you know are you not getting?"

"The part where I can't help. I can't sit at home while she's with him. It's not right. I want to help." Brandon said sitting in the chair across from Tyler

"He's got some balls on him. You do realize who we are right Brandon?" Tyler said

"It'll take an idiot to not realize you guys are mafia men. Regardless of what you two may think I'm not an idiot." Brandon said and I rolled my eyes

"And you're not bulletproof" I said to him

"Neither are you" He said and I stood up

"Is that a threat Brandon? Careful what you say next because my moods lately has been worse than a woman who is expecting. I am not to be played with at the moment unless you truly want to experience fear. Lia isn't here to curve my need for blood. She can't save you now can she?" I said and he shook his head

"I just want to help find her Cameron. Let me help." He said

I turned the computer. "Who is she?" I asked him and he got closer

"Oh that's Miranda. I was surprised she actually came to the party. She was a childhood friend but couldn't stand Lia because she wanted Eli's attention..."Brandon trailed off in thought. "Why would she come to the party.."

"She was working with Nic. Distracted the guards and he slipped by them." I said "Do you know where she lives?"

"No not really but I have her number" He said

"Call her. Organize a meeting to catch up. Maybe she'll bite. We show up and get information out of her." I said

"You won't hurt her right?" Brandon asked

"If Lia is hurt. I'll kill her and then you by association" I said to him

"What he means to say is no we just need information from her to get to Nic." Tyler said and I glared at him

"I don't need a translator" I said

"Apparently the job just opened up due to Lias leave of absence" Tyler glared back at me

"Call her" I said to Brandon

He called her and we sat in silence as the phone rang.

"Hello" She said

"Miranda hey. It's Brandon. I just wanted to check in on everyone after last night" He said

"Bran. Hey thanks for checking in. I'm okay a bit shaken up. I didn't expect anything like that happening." She said and my jaw clenched

"Yea same. I'm sorry we didn't get to talk last night. I was wondering if we could catch up grab some coffee or something tomorrow." He asked and she stood silent

"Uh..yeah sure. I won't be free until 12pm though. I have work early in the morning." She said

"Right Bree did say you work early. Where did you work again?" He asked

"The coffee shop on 5th freeway street" She said

"Oh sounds perfect. I'll meet you there tomorrow" He said

She laughed softly. "Yea. See you then Bran." She said

"Bye" He said

"Bye" She said and he hung up looking at us.

"Wow the fucker actually did it." Tyler said patting Brandon's shoulder

"Promise me you won't hurt her." Brandon said looking at Tyler which was the smart move because I won't lie to him.

"We won't hurt her. We just want to ask her some questions." Tyler said

"And him? You won't let him hurt her." Brandon said pointing at me as I sat back in my chair

"I'll watch him. Okay. Now go and meet us here tomorrow at 10am so we can plan." Tyler said and Brandon stood up nodding. He looked at me once again.

"I cant imagine what you're going through right now and I'm sorry for what I said yesterday. We're going to find her." Brandon said to me and I downed my drink in my hand then nodded at him

He walked out the room and I poured another drink.
"Easy" Tyler said taking the bottle from me

"You gotta be ready for tomorrow." Tyler said

"If I don't hear what I want to hear tomorrow. I will kill her. She helped him take her from me." I said looking at my glass

"I know but Brandon doesn't need to know that" Tyler said

I looked up at him and he drank from the bottle.

"Have you slept yet?" He asked and I shook my head

"Try to get some rest man. You'll go insane if you don't" He said

"I'm already there Tyler so much so that it's scaring me what I'm capable of right now" I said downing my drink
