Davide entered in the meeting room and interrupted the discussion between his father and elder brothers with the package in his hands. They looked at him with interrogation.
Salvatore: Davide, we are in a meeting. You couldn't wait until we finish? What's the emergency?
Davide: (He put the package on the table.) Your daughter received this. She didn't order anything, and the sender is unknown... well, I don't read Japanese so I can say who sent this but... you know...
Gabriel: (He took the package to open it.) Suki didn't touch it? (Davide shook his head.) It must be from Tanaka.
Gabriel observed the details of the package few seconds. It was not heavy but there was definitively something inside. The name of the sender was indeed in Japanese, a clear sign that only Suki could read it, but there was no way he would ask her who sent it. He took a photo of the shipping voucher and texted one of his contact to investigate it. He took a cutter and opened it.
Inside, there was a lot of bubbles papers, as if what was inside was precious. He took out the first layers and his expression darkened.
Salvatore: What is it?
Gabriel: I'm glad that you intercepted that package Davide...
Davide: (He looked inside.) Fu**, it's gross!
Dante grabbed the package and with his father, they also looked inside. Their reactions were controlled but inside they were boiling. In the package, they found fingers freshly cut, with a note on the side. Dante took it, but he couldn't read it, it was also written in Japanese.
Dante: It has to be Tanaka. (He showed the note.) We need someone to translate that.
Davide: I guess that you don't want to ask the only one able to read it in this house? (Dante glared at him.) Google? It can help for now.
Salvatore: Do it. Even if it is not accurate, we can have the general idea of that message. Davide, call Gianni and ask him to join us.
Gabriel: Dante, check with our men where is Tanaka and what is he doing. Reinforce the security of the propriety too and found a female bodyguard for Suki just in case none of us can stay at home.
Dante: Okay, but it will take time to find someone suitable. We have very few women in our clan.
Gabriel: You can ask Gianni; he probably knows one or two women fighter that could fit the job.
Dante nodded and took his phone to have an approximate translation of the note accompanying the package.
Dante: It says... my son killed your mother... and your brothers killed my son... as an old man, I will grieve on my own in my land. I will not seek for revenge but tell your father, that I will come back for you... for your 15 birthday. PS: This is what is left from your father's man!
Davide: It's our infiltrate guy's fingers? Damn it!
Salvatore: Check if it's true and confirm that Tanaka is leaving the country. And if he dares to come back, I will kill him personally!
Dante went to one of the offices to call his men and verify if those fingers were really from the man who was in charge of the close monitoring of Tanaka. He also sent a photo of the message to someone able to confirm the translation.
