to capture a heart

Enzo

Lorenzo Russo

I woke up with a intense headache and a disturbing stomach ache. I threw some medicine in my mouth and tried to ignore my pain. I took a cold shower and wore a black ironed suit. I was greeted downstairs with a large breakfast. I sat down and ate some of the sausage and eggs and alongside poured myself orange juice.

I forced myself to eat to fuel myself just in case something happened at the Red's meeting today. After a big breakfast I got into my car and started to drive to the meeting area.

Fuck me I already hated this area. It had barely any nature around and was sort of deserted. I tensed my jaw and grabbed the gun in my pocket. I filled it with bullets and put it back in my pocket. I watched as the car park started to fill up with cars.

I saw Dad walk out and then got out of my car. "What the fuck is this Dad?" Dad shrugged as he scanned the area. A tall pale man walked towards us and handed us a letter filled with a list of rules.

Do not carry any guns or weapons

No security or guards will be present.

If you get angry during the meeting
you may step out.

The only people allowed to carry a pistol is:

Lorenzo Russo
Matteo River
Fernando Guiriue

May God be with you all.

I chuckled at the last line. I gripped my pistol and shot a bullet to the ground. I watched the bullet pounce off the ground hitting it as hard as it could. Me and Dad started to walk towards the gate where a muscular man stood and smiled at us.

"Mr Russo, What a pleasure to meet you. And Mr River." I snickered and winked at Dad who gave me a scowl. As we entered the grand meeting hall we were greeted with a long brown table filled with around 30 chairs. Alongside some Vodka.

I saw a chair labelled The ripers, Lorenzo Russo. My jaw tensed. Who the fuck are the Ripers. Dad sniggered and walked towards his chair and sat down. I walked up to one of the men "Who the fuck are the Ripers."

The man hesitated and quickly ran to replace it. It's the fucking Vipers. A couple minutes went by when the man ran back and placed the correct sign. I went and sat down next to Dad who was texting Máma and slightly smiling.

I pulled my phone out to text Vivia.

Hello my love, just wanted to let you know I've arrived at the meeting spot. I love you lots and will text you later.

I set my phone down and turnt it off as I realised the meeting was starting. I recognised most the men here. Finally Fernando sat down.

"Before we start this meeting I wanted to formally apologise to Mr Russo for the name mixup." I heard a snicker from behind me which came from Dad. I rolled my eyes and nodded slightly to let him know it was fine.

"This meeting was for trades since the mafia world is draining slowly. With all these mafia wars everyone's money is dying and we all need trade. I offer the table to anyone."

Clipo Jio was quick to speak up, he owned a small mafia and needed this. "I offer 3 million to anyone who can give me people and safety." Everyone stayed silent.

Next Miron Popov spoke up "I offer 10 of my people" He owned a mafia in Russia, however they weren't too relevant. Everyone stayed silent.

"I offer 1 lower trained people of mine." I spoke in a low husky voice and immediately men were shouting numbers the lowest starting at 12 million. Fernando chuckled at the men's enthusiasm.

I ended the bid with £50 million coming from a large mafia. "I offer safety." Dad spoke up, men again shouted numbers the lowest being £8 million.

"I'll let it go t-"

Suddenly a bullet pierced through my skin. Screams and shouts came from everywhere. My vision started to blur and I watched how Dad tried to help me whilst trying to defend us. The next thing I remember was my shutting my eyes whilst hearing deafening screams.

Vivian River

"So how's everyone!" I attempted to lighten the mood up at dinner. I responded to Enzo but still hadn't gotten a response back. Perhaps he was just occupied. Nobody responded to me but rather looked down deadly at their food.

My phone started to ring and it was from Dad.

"Fuck Vivia, I'm in hospital and I don't know where Enzo is." My heart dropped. My hand started to shake "What do you mean? why you in hospital? Where's my Enzo?"

Questioned automatically poured out as I started to panic. My bottom lip quivered as Chris grabbed the phone and started talking in Italian. My ears deafened and I couldn't hear what anyone was saying at this rate.

My vision blurred with tears. Fuck where's my boy. I'm sure he's fine. "Dad's coming today." Chris mumbled as he set the phone down and ran to get out people who lived in Russia to search for Enzo.

Dad was in really bad condition and could barely move. Mum started to burst out in tears as she ringed Dad up to check how he was doing. I got up quickly as ran to Chris.

"Fuck Vi come here." Chris took me in his arms and started to soothe me. "He got shot and Dad blacked out and nobody knows what happened. The Red's set the meeting up to kill Enzo."

I held him tighter as I heard those words and tears dropped from my eyes. Adri came in "What the fuck are we doing? Fucking get men!" Chris ran to ring up every mafia we had an alliance with to find Enzo.

"If we can't find Enzo within 24 hours the mafia queen has to step up in his position." Adri whispered to me.
