Detective Santos looked at the board that had all the information he knew on The De Luca family but none of it creates reasonable ground for him to even get a search warrant. All the money he had coming was accounted for considering he's making over one hundred million dollars a day legally. There is no evidence to connect him to the Italian Mafia but deep down he knew that he was involved. He figured out he was being tailed so he can't use that route again.
"Detective, she's here!!!" An officer said taking him off his thoughts.
"Where is she??" Detective Santos said calmly.
"In your office!!!" The officer said and Detective Santos got up and left. He went into the office and found the lady seated nervously clutching her purse tightly.
"Thank you for coming Maria!!" Detective Santos said lightly taking a seat.
"I want out of this job!!!" She whispered silently.
"First you can talk normally here it's okay!!"
"I don't want to be part of this mission!!!"
"Why?? What's going on??"
"It's too risky!!!"
"What did you find out??"
"I overheard a conversation between the security guards talking about a package delivery at the Docks!!!"
"What package???"
"I don't know but it has to be big to be worth twenty million!!!"
"Twenty million??? This is good!!!... When will it be??"
"Saturday but I don't know the time!!!"
"It's okay, maybe they'll slip up again and then you can tell us the time!!!"
"Am not going back there!!!"
"What??!!"
"Am not going back there!!!"
"I heard you the first time!!! Why not?? You are making such good progress!!!"
"Matteo's wife caught me snooping around!!!"
"What did she do??!"
"She scolded me but am sure she's suspicious of me!!! If I go back there they will kill me!!!"
"They can't kill you!!!"
"Why not???"
"Because you haven't given them room to doubt you... Or have you??"
"She caught me snooping so their eyes will be on me!!!"
"This is the closest we have ever been to nailing Giovanni De Luca!!! We can't get another informer in such a short notice!!!"
"I am not going back there!!!"
"We are catering for your children and you just want to stop!!!"
"I don't care!!! These people are dangerous!!!"
"Exactly why we need to find out why they are dangerous!!! Do they kill people?? If they do, where are the bodies???"
"So you want to use me as a target example!!!"
"I won't let it get that far!!!"
"How will you rescue me??"
"We will find a way to extract you from that mission!!!"
"You are trying to sound like some fucking badass superhero and you aren't!!! This is not just my life that's on the line, my entire family, my boys... I won't have them think that I was a felon or for them to think that I left them when in reality am six feet under the ground!!! So detective when I say I am not going back there... I fucking mean it!!!"
"Then there is no witness protection for you!!!"
"What!?? That wasn't the agreement!!!"
"The agreement was you give us Giovanni De Luca and proof that he is part of the Italian Mafia and we will put you in witness protection!!! All you've given us is a date–"
"And a location!!!"
"Location?? What location?? There are fifteen docks in this region and nineteen in the neighboring area!!! Which one is it??"
"I don't know–"
"Exactly even the date is not accurate!!!"
"It is!!! I told you it's on Saturday!!!"
"Saturday of what??? This week, next week, the week after... This month?? Next month??? You've not given us any specific thing about your whole discovery!!! And then what you expect us to put you in a witness protection program for nothing?? No.. It doesn't work that way!!!"
"You promised to protect me and my family!!!"
"Yes I did but only if you give me what I wanted!!!"
"She's already suspicious of me... I can feel it!!!"
"Now imagine what will happen if you are not in witness protection?? Think of your children Maria because I guarantee you they won't spare them and we won't have any grounds to protect you!!!"
"You are the feds!!!! You are bound to protect me and my family by default!!!"
"I agree but I think you and I can both agree that you're family needs a little more protection than all the others right??"
"You can't do that!!!"
"Actually I can!!! If you really want to protect your family I'd suggest you try to salvage whatever damage you think you made and bring me the results I need!!!"
"You are no different from them!!!"
"Actually I am, you are just too stubborn to see it!!!" He said calmly leaning back to his seat and the lady grabbed her purse and stormed off. He took in a deep breath before shutting his eyes, he wasn't going to let anyone hurt her because she's the only person that is capable to bring actual results. If anything was to happen to her then he will have legal grounds to search his premises. Either way he wins. For the first time in a long time he is capable of getting a checkmate against Giovanni De Luca and he won't let it pass.
He was just about to resume work when an officer informed him of a visitor. He sat nervously shifted in his seat when the lady in a long trench coat and sunglasses walked inside.
"Son-in-law!!!" She said lightly and he stood up giving her a brief hug.
"Please have a seat!!! Can I offer you anything??" He said composing himself as the lady sat down.
"Some coffee will be good!!!" She said lightly and he brought her some before sitting down.
"It's good to see you mom!!" He said silently and he chuckled.
"At least you are!! Diana not so much!!"
"You talked to her??"
"I tried but she hates me–"
"She doesn't hate you!!! "
"She made that pretty clear!!!"
"I feel you should just give her time–"
"How much more time does she need??!! I've given her years, years and she still won't even call me mom!!!"
"She's very stubborn!!!"
"That she is!!!"
"Whatever it is I know you'll figure it out!!!"
"Thank you!!! She's comfortable having you around!!!"
"Really???!!!" He said a smile creeping up his face.
"Yes!!! So I won't leave until I fixed it for you two!!!"
"Thank you mom!!"
"No thank you... Am finally going to be a grandma!!!" She said laughing happily.
"That you are!!!" He said smiling happily, he can't wait to have her in his arms again.
