The gangster's little unknown assassin - Part 2

Chapter 61 - Beatrove, Rufus and avó Rosa

Ambulances rushed us to the hospital. The wounded were many, just like the offenders were more than the cops were waiting for.

Nonno had to be rushed to surgery. The rest of us ranged from broken noses, fingers, and heads to cuts, bruises, and bullet scrapes. I was put on an oxygen mask as soon as the paramedics reached me. I almost had a fit with all those hands touching me, but as if my night wasn't already bad, when we got to the hospital, I was told Cosmo was dead.

How?

Just, HOW!?

I left him alive and kicking, and now he's just gone?

There were no witnesses. But I will find out what happened, and I'll do it today.

Lucky for me, I didn't have to wait for too long before Pokemón sent me the footage from outside Blaze's room.

'That 'doctor' tried to get inside your baby's room. Cosmo went after him, and after that, he is no more. That must be his killer.' He wrote on the message.

The room around me was full with my family and as loud as a fair. I started to snap my fingers in the air in hopes of catching someone's attention, and it happened when Vito lifted his head from his computer and took a second to stop yelling on the phone. He grabbed Ivan's suit jacket and pulled on it until he looked at him, then he proceeded to point me out, and Ivan came to me.

"What's wrong? Do you need more painkillers?" He gruffly muttered, seeming worried for me.

"No, I just need someone with a computer to analyze this footage with me. A man tried to break into my daughter's room during the attack, and I suspect the same man killed Cosmo." He nodded his head and waved for someone to come over to us.

Did I tell you that we were all crammed inside the same room? As in me, Sin, Santino, Ivan, Antonio, Zeke, Stella, Xana, Francesco, Abuela, Hazel, Shauwn, Vito, Lucinda, Diesel, Vin, Alan, Jym, James, Jack, Armani, John, Claude and who else might be escaping me. There are more than twenty people in here, for god's sake. This is like a pandemonium.

Santino came over with a computer, and I gave him my phone to download the footage Pokemon sent me. From there, we identified the man, discovered his multiple fake identities, learned of his abilities and hobbies, and found out he left Sicily. He was, indeed, Cosmo's killer.

"Damn it!" We literally missed him by just two hours.

I'm so fucking pissed right now!

I grabbed a pillow from beside me and pushed it against my face, smothering myself for a second to contain my anger. I feel like either screaming or punching someone, so the pillow is the better choice.

"Sage? Sage? Sage! What's wrong?" I pull down the pillow and watch my father push through his brothers to reach me. He ignored my cousins and took the pillow from me.

"Do you have anyone that could work on this?" I showed him the computer, and he snapped a picture, quickly wrote something, and sent it to someone.

"Don't worry about that anymore. Go to sleep, and by the time you wake up, I'll give you some news."

"You promise?" He lifted up a finger, gesturing for me to wait one second, and wiped out his phone again.

"Pest! Work only on what I sent you now. The rest can wait." He barked and hung up the phone.

"See, I promise." I felt myself smiling at him and slowly crashed, giving in to my tired body.

I'm starting to think that I'm getting too old for all these secret attacks and high emotions.
