Whispers: A game of Lies & Deceit

Woman

The weather had not improved in the slightest.

Vito was wearing sunglasses even though it had been raining all morning, he was wearing his usual suit and had a toothpick between his teeth.

We had dinner in the restaurant of my hotel, on the terrace, breathing in the fresh air, admiring the scenery and discussing everything that had happened while I was in London trying to get back on track.

I noticed again the large amount of flowers that were growing on the slopes, making them look completely green even on such a grey day.

Exhaling heavily, the man raised his glass of red wine to his lips, took a long sip and set it back down.

"The workers finished renovating the Empire and the first game was played yesterday," the deputy said, looking out at the sunset, "Luca was there. Apparently he didn't know you stole his car. "

"Definitely," I nodded, pushing the salad aside, "His mother was the sole heiress to a multi-million dollar business, so his father forced her to marry some idiot. The son has adopted his father's genes."

"Nothing to worry about, the casino is safe and so is Rafaele's bar," Vito continued in a measured tone. I listened to him intently, absorbing every word.

"That's not good enough. Thanks to Rafaele, Vitali is part of the family business," I rubbed my lips with my fingers, gathering my thoughts, "Weber won't have the courage to show up in Salerno, but that doesn't mean he'll sit this one out."

"Silvio is clear, I've checked his files twice. Seems like he's safe for business," Vito said, "Ashton's target isn't the casino," the man added firmly, "as soon as he gets caught by the government, a lawyer will charge him with arson. Evidence will have to be falsified," he thought immediately, ahead of my orders. The image of the found jewelry, which had undergone severe deformation, surfaced in my head.

"That's right," I breathed, "here we are safe, everything that happens on my territory is strictly controlled. And keep looking for Rossi, find all the information about him, you will have to act on him through weak points, "he can not hide forever, I will dig him out of the ground if I have to."

Vito nodded, "I'm setting up a team to be sent to Thailand later. We can't even identify the city yet," he exhaled, and then, as if remembering something, he looked up, "we're having trouble with the lack of guns," I shook my head perplexed, "okay, listen," the man rested his elbows on the table, "the guys want you to re-engage with Molis, and before you start to complain," he added a little louder, noticing the change in my face, "they say he had better quality; now the guns are coming off like sand, jamming all the time. "

"Their weapon price is too high, it's easier to get started with a military company" I shook my head, tapping my finger on the wooden table next to my cup of tea, "what's wrong with their new supply? The weapons are just as good." I ran my fingers over my lips again, thinking about the state of affairs. While the situation was stable, this could easily have changed with the advent of Weber. I had to be prepared for any outcome. Even war.

"There are rumors among the fighters that I'm not coping," I said unexpectedly, drawing the attention of Vito, who turned to me in surprise, "Alessandro said".

"Not all fighters trust the female boss," the man replied more calmly. He always reasoned logically and strategically, "all structural divisions do their job efficiently, no riots were noticed. Everyone is in a fighting mood." Sometimes Vito spoke like a robot.

"Perhaps I should check their readiness for war myself," I stood up from the chair, straightening my back. Taking the phone from the table, I finally nodded to the man, "if the soldiers don't understand the meaning of diplomacy, I will have to show them my superiority with violence. Dinner at my expense," I walked slowly into the building.
