Me and Alessandro both sprang into action. We stood up and followed the guard to the estate. I could tell that we were going to the living room so I braces myself for the worst.

The man that we were about to encounter was probably like a junky. I imagined him with scars or maybe with a gun or something similar. However, I was very curious, why would someone show up at our house, which meant he knew where Alessandro lived, and offer to help us? There was probably a catch to this and I made a mental note to be careful.

The twin doors of the living opened revealing a man who was sitting close to the fireplace with two guards close to the door, probably for security protocols.

He had his back on us but when he heard the door opened he turned around and I froze a little. Visibly, the man was attractive. He had green eyes and his hair was dark, almost the same colour as mine. What had struck me though was that in the back of my mind he seemed similar. I couldn't wrap my mind around it exactly but he did look familiar.

He seemed to share the same feelings as he looked at me. Unlike me though he didn't seem surprised, his expression seemed.. nostalgic? Something like that.

Alessandro was the one that broke the silence

"Mr Moreno" he said calmly and the man nodded

"Mr Agosto, Ms Agosto." He nodded to the both of us "I will get right to the topic, I want to be frank I learnt about your situation through my spies. Before you ask no, I do not have spies on you they are just there to monitor the Mafias."

Alessandro seemed unmoved and he continued, that meant that it was usual for the Mafias.

"I didn't give a single damn until I learnt that she was a child. You know Mr Agosto I don't have any morals but I don't allow children to get involved in these kind of stuff."

He continued

"To sum up," he took his phone out of his pocket and gave it to Alessandro "this is the location, exactly. The warehouse and everything, they keep her in there."

"Why should we trust you?"
I asked defeatedly

"You shouldn't." He said, his eyes lingering on mine for a second longer "but the time is running and we don't know when they decide to end it all."

Alessandro tensed beside me

"I ask only of one thing in return"

He stood up from the couch and walked over to us, lighting up his cigarette

"My father's Mafia and ultimately mine, is also being attacked. I want to he involved in your search to take the Italian Mafia down together. In return, of all of this."

I wasn't sure about his intentions but just the mere thought of Issabella being in danger seemed to much of me. Besides, what he was asking for wasn't so bad at least from my perspective. Alessandro and my dad wanted the Mafia down so it would make the job easier.
