We left the warehouse fortified like a fortress, with a hundred of our best men guarding it. D'Angelo had given strict instructions: torture them until we got the answers we needed. Moretti and his lackey wouldn't be leaving anytime soon.

As we drove back to the mansion, the weight of the night's events hung heavy in the air. The silence between us was thick, each of us lost in our own thoughts. The city's lights blurred past us, a stark contrast to the darkness we had just emerged from.

Finally, we arrived at D'Angelo's home. The mansion stood tall and imposing, a symbol of power and security. We walked through the grand doors, greeted by the familiar faces of our men who stood guard around the clock.

D'Angelo turned to me, his expression stern but with a hint of weariness. "Finneas, I need you to gather everyone. We need to relay the information and plan our next move."

"Understood," I replied, heading off to find Gina, Kylie, and Theo.

I found Gina and Kylie exiting the gym, in their workout clothes. Their faces lit up with concern when they saw me.

"What's going on?" Gina asked, her voice tinged with worry.

"Did you get him?" Kylie added, her eyes searching mine for answers.

"We got him," I confirmed, "but there's more we need to discuss. D'Angelo wants everyone in the living room. Now."

They nodded, understanding the urgency. As we walked towards the living room, I couldn't help but notice the tension in the air. This wasn't just about Moretti anymore; this was about survival.

Theo was already in the living room, pacing back and forth. His face was a mask of worry and anger. "What happened? Did you get the bastard?"

"We did," I said, closing the door behind us. "But D'Angelo has him and one of his men under heavy guard at the warehouse. They're being... questioned."

Theo's eyes widened slightly, but he nodded. "Good. He deserves everything he's going to get."

D'Angelo entered the room then, his presence commanding immediate attention. He walked to the center of the room, facing us with a grim determination.

"We have Moretti," he began, his voice steady. "And he will pay for what he's done. But we need to be prepared for the fallout. This isn't over."

"What do you mean?" Gina asked, her voice shaking slightly.

"Moretti's organization is vast," D'Angelo explained. "Taking him down is just the first step. His men will retaliate, and we need to be ready."

Kylie looked at him, her eyes filled with concern. "What can we do to help?"

D'Angelo's gaze softened for a moment as he looked at her. "We need to stay strong and united. The most important thing is to keep everyone safe. We're going to increase security and make sure we're prepared for anything."
