The Bond of SIN (#YourStoryIndia)

chapter 12

It has almost been ten hours since Val has gone to deal with Donzel. Somewhere between these ten hours I have slept, eaten, changed, exercised but mostly worried about when my mobile would flicker with his name. I am cold, annoyed... simply frustrated for not being able to contact him and sit around in this huge hall of emptiness and nothingness. Every second that passed made me flip slightly towards nonsensical loony. I held the lamp that stylishly sat beside the table at one corner in the living room and smashed it on the wall in front of me. I heard footsteps approach me. I knew they were staring at me.

"What the fuck. Trigger? What happened?" Jenin walks towards me but I do not look up or try responding. I stare at the pieces of lamp that sparkle under the sunlight entering the room from a far end through a window.

"Catherine please stay calm, we all are worried. We are trying to track him down." He held me by my shoulders and tried comforting me.

"Did you track him?" I stared intently at a single large piece that reflected the sunrays in different directions.

"Not yet. Marcino is on it. His mobile signals were tracked last on the outskirts of the city but after I send the team there no one was found."

"Did you track Brandt's?" he pulled back his hands and walks towards the sofa. He sits holding his head in his hands.

"Yes. Same result." He sighed.

'I can't lose him. I won't let anything happen to him. I want him safe, safe in my arms next to me in my bed.'

I looked up whipping the stream of tears flowing down and took a deep breath, since what I was about to say would need the burning of extra oxygen in me.

"So both of them are untraceable that is what you say right?" he looks up and nods.

I look around and see Othello and Dino shaking their heads along to confirm the last bits of doubt if any left.

"Ok. Since Valentiniau and Brandt are both untraceable the next in succession to them is me. So starting from this very moment I need you all to fill me with whatever inputs and Intel's you have on them." Jenin's head shot up and Dino had his mouth hung down.

"Catherine we cannot -." Jenin tries to step towards me but I stop him by holding my hand up.

"You cannot allow me to take up his position but you have forgotten after him it is me and that he has made clear the day we came here. Either you help me find him or I will find him by myself and drag his ass back home." I stare at each one of the men in the room. They all have a blank look, no idea as to what they are supposed to do.

After few seconds Robert walks towards me and stood by my side, "I'm with her. She is now the Boss, and I want him back."

"What the hell, I might regret this but guess you'd be a damn sexy Boss. Bunny?" Othello winks and follows next to Robert.

Robert smirks and nods at us.

"Count me in too," Marcino walks with a laptop in his hand trying to decode signals, "Boss."

"Fuck it. I'm in. Sorry Jenin but we need her for the others to follow orders." Dino walks towards me and stands next to me.

I look at Jenin and Pierro folding my arms to my chest and tap my right feet on the floor, "Jenin you still gonna fight me or help me find that dick?"

He walks towards me and pulls his hand forward, "I'm guessing I must be a bonehead to agree to your being the Boss. Well what the hell, let's fuck the Salvator's and get back the Capo... what say?" I took his hand and shook it mouthing a thank you.
