Dipendenza

Chapter 25

Leonardo

William screeched loudly. I looked over to see the baby trying to stand.

"Ronald. Angel come." I yelled. William paused and stared at me before screeching again. He held onto the table in the den and tried pulling himself up.

"Badada." William mumbled.

"What's going on baby?" Ronald came in.

"Look at the child." I pointed my head to him. William looked at Ronald and finally pulled himself up.

"Oh shit." Angel said as he came in.

"Record him." Ronald said. "Come here Will. Come here Babyboy."

William let go of the table and with a focused look he tried stepping towards Ronald. He failed and fell on his ass but he grabbed the table again. He stood up and let go but he wobbled for a second. Then he started taking steps. When he reached his goal Ronnie picked him up and spun him around.

"Let's fucking go." He yelled. "My baby can walk at ten months. Niggas on lame shit fucking around with Will."

"Good job William." Angel smiled tickling the baby.

"Very good job little one." I stood up and came towards the baby. Peter jumped on Ronnie's leg and climbed up his body till he was in his arms.

"Bababa." William smiled. Peter licked his hand. I thinks it's his way of saying congratulations.

*~*~*

I walked from my car into my office building. It was extremely late at night but money never sleeps and apparently I don't ether. I rode the elevator to the top floor and opened my office door to find my  guest.

"Detective." I smiled and walked in further. "I'm happy you called. I am a little confused about how you're sitting in my office without my knowledge."

"Lock picking class in college." He joked. "Now what do you want from me? I was enjoying the company of a beautiful woman when you called."

"I didn't mean to interrupt though I'm sure she's happy I did." I smirked.

"All have you know I'm a great lover. If you weren't with someone and a horrible person I'd show you."

"Me and my lover don't mind adding partners to our sex life but not tattletales." I shrugged. The detective was handsome. If it wasn't a huge risk I'd bring up the threesome to Ronald.

"Yes I'm a tattletale because I follow the law. Now again what am I here for?"

I sighed and walked over to my cabinet. I pulled out the bottle filled with whiskey. I grabbed two glasses as well.

"I have the evidence you need." I said sitting at my desk. I poured us both a glass. "But we'll both be reviewing it."

"Evidence on Titan?" I nodded, handing him the drink. He took it and knocked it back, setting the glass down. "Let's begin then."

"Is this real?" He asked after a while. We both were combing through stacks of paper. Christopher was able to provide us a lot of information. I hear he had to drug Titian and then take pictures of the documents. I hate to think of what he's been through.

"I would assume so." I nodded. "I'll be honest with you, these are clear signs of smuggling being done." I pointed to the different shipments. "Every truck is at the same port, same time, with the same crew."

"That is suspicious. We usually flag things like that because it is odd. And what about this?" He pointed to some pictures.

"What does look like?" I asked.

"Like he smuggling in women."

"Look here." I said grabbing some pictures. "Look familiar." It was pictures of missing girls in the arms of Titian or with other disgusting men. They were taken in a hotel lobby. I guess by someone undercover who was most likely caught. Titian probably killed him, that's why the pictures haven't been leaked.

"Fuck." He whispered.

"Don't do anything yet."

"What? This is enough. I could turn all this in and get a fucking raise. He's done so much, maybe more than you." That's impossible but I didn't correct him.

"Yes but I am proving one more thing. This is so you can start building a case."

"The case is built Nell. This is more than enough to do whatever it is you want to do to him. Unless you just showing me this to get my dick hard." He glared.

"While getting your dick hard is my main priority, that is not what I showed you all this." I sighed.

"Whatever Leonardo, this was bullshit." He sat back against the couch. We had since migrated to the floor because the papers were so abundant.  "Why are you doing this in the first place?"

"He killed my lovers mother." He whispered. He shot his eyes to me.

"That's the missing piece you need." I nodded. "Well shit, I'll give you a week to find it."

"Thank you." I nodded.

"After this you know I'm going back to hunting you." I nodded. "Have you done what he's done?"

"Off the record?" I asked. He nodded. "I've done worse. I will say this much, when certain things happen it's a reason. Every action has a reaction in my case." He nodded softly.

"I can't wait until I'm able to learn about those crimes on the record." He grinned.

"Stop flirting with me." I smirked.

*~*~*

I opened my eyes after hearing my name called repeatedly.

"Finally. Good morning baby." Ronald said holding a tray of food. I sat up and kissed him.

"Thank you my love." I grabbed the tray.

"How was last night?" He asked.

"Detective Brown gave us a week to find the evidence." I sighed.

"Oh okay. We can do that." He nodded. "I miss Chrissy."

"I know sweetie. Everything will be back to normal soon. How did your night go?"

"The whore house is looking better and better. They are really putting work in. The boys are good too. I told them they can't fuck their coworkers and after I showed them what you did to Vincent they agreed. They also did well at the warehouse. They made their rounds and everything went smoothly." He nodded.

"Seems like we both had busy nights."

"Yes well it was worse cause I ain't have my baby by my side." He whined.

"Yes I'd much rather be in bed with you then drowning in paper. It saddened me to have to leave your side." I set the now empty plate to the side. Ronnie climbed from his spot and laid over my body.

"We can make up for it now." He smiled.

I grabbed him in my arms and turned my body so we were spooning.

"Perfect." He mumbled, closing his eyes. I hummed in agreement.

I am back to finish this story after that I'm not sure if I'll write again in this capacity. The end is near maybe in around four more chapters. Thank you for reading! 💜
