CHIARA ROMERO was kidnapped from her influential crime family as a child, growing up with no memory of her origins and an abusive home life. Raised in the streets of New York, she learned to fend for herself, becoming a fierce and brutal woman. At o...

Currently, I'm sitting in the Romero's movie room watching people scream and dance at the front of the room. The group of us that are not dancing are just having general conversations, I'm talking with Leo and Alicia. More of a debate. "Pancakes are better!" Alicia says, "I disagree" I argue, fed up with the childish conversation. Leo is just listening to us and occasionally adding points to our arguments. Alicia turns to Chiara, "Chiara you agree with me, right?" , "yeah sure" she mumbles in response clearly too intoxicated by her phone to pay attention to us. I wish I was her right now instead of dealing with my idiotic sister.
"See!" Alicia yells, "that doesn't count, she wasn't listening." Just as Alicia went to reply, a guard walked into the room and cleared his throat, all heads turned to him. "Ma'am you have a delivery" I furrow my brows in confusion but then Chiara jumps up from her seat and runs out the room. We all sit in confusion then Carlos says "I will go check on her." So we quickly continue our conversations
After about 30 minutes passed I realised they were still not back so me and Leo decided to go look for them. We spoke to the first guard we saw since they are always watching, they will know something. "Where are my brother and sister?" Leo asked, "they left the house approximately 20 minutes ago sir" the guard replied. I nod my head at the guard and begin walking back to the movie room and then halt my steps when I don't hear Leo behind me, I turn to face Leo, still stood in his original spot with a scowl on his face, "I presume you want to go after them?" I speak in an authoritive voice as I run my hand across my face. "Of course, i just got my sister back and knowing carlos' driving skills, they will both end up in a ditch." He is half serious and half joking.
He begins to walk out the front door, grabbing the keys to a grey Porsche before stepping outside. "How exactly do you plan on finding them?" I follow him out of the house and towards the many cars parked on the drive way. "I have an idea" Leo says, "for carlos' 15th birthday I got him a chain, it has a tracker in it" I chucked at his response, "maybe I should do that for Alicia, god knows what she gets up to." Leo pulls up a tracker app on his phone and his face contorts in confusion, "they are on a random road downtown, cielo street"
Leo ran over to his Porsche, climbing in and starting the engine. I followed after him, straightening my tie ever so slightly and getting in the passenger seat. "Leo this is insane, even for you" "shut it morelli, I'm worried about my sister". We sped down the street towards the flashing red tracker, inching closer by the second, "what car are they in?" I question calmly, "I don't know" Leo barked, clearly stressed. I noticed the tracker speeding up, going well over a 100 mph when all of a sudden the car skided to a stop. "What the fuck Leo?!" I look up to police cars blocking the road and in the distance a black sports car surrounded but law enforcement, by the time I look back at Leo's phone, the tracker was no longer transmittimg a signal. We lost them.
"Shit" Leo mumbled under his breath. I, surprisingly, understood why he was so panicked when he couldn't find his sister. I don't care about many things in this world, limited to my family, the Romero's and the Italian mafia, but I know that if it came down to it, I would die for them. I would be just as panicked if Alicia was in Chiara's shoes, I would be more put together but that's not the point. "Drive home. They will come back. They are fine." I ordered, usually I'm a lot less cold and direct when I'm with my family or the Romero's, but sometimes people need a firm hand, Leonardo definitely needs it.
