Daughters of the Don (Completed)

Thirty Six: Claudia Haunted Revenge

"Twisted evil: a deceased toddler, Neegi Marrocks skeletal remains were dug up and burned to a cremation.
In the wee hours of the night a forest fire broke out which led to the discovery of an already deceased little girls body!!"

Headlines and news anchors had this story plastered all over the news.

I had received a million calls informing me, but my body was numb with a feeling of pain covering me mentally and physically!

The jet ride was silent but our emotions and thoughts were speaking as loud as a soul crying!

My anger was boiling within me but for some strange reason I had a calm demeanor.

    I hadn't slept all night since I got the news and this jet ride over was this longest agonizing one id ever had in my life.

      I was slowly nodding off to sleep.... When I heard neegi's voice...

"Mommy!" She called as we made it to the park.

"Yes sweet angel?" I answered looking down at her.

"Swing swing swing"

   Neegi pulled me by the hand racing  for the swing set.

Santino caught up with us swooping her up from behind.

"Where you going big girl!?" He asked tickling her while covering her with kisses.

Neegi laughed uncontrollably, dazzled in her fathers strong arms.

  She was definitely a daddies girl! Always bringing daddies soft side out.

  By the time Neegi played for hours she was fast a sleep on the ride back.

"You're mommies princess," my mother Charlotte said kissing me on the forehead.

"Oh gosh Mamia you're embarrassing me." I uttered as we stood in the middle of the huge party for my 15th birthday celebration.

   "Oh goodness, I keep forgetting you're a teen now." She giggled.

"That's right mami, I'm no longer a baby."

" mmm, I wonder why... I notice that santino guy keeps finding his way around you."

My mother mumbled making me flutter in butterflies.

"We're just friends mami, you know papi would never allow that."

" the don is no match against Cupid." She joked making us both giggle.

"You are so silly, I love you so much mami."

" ohhhh I love you more princess." My mother replied hugging me with a kiss on the cheek.

The sun of L.a was beaming bright as santino, jef, kloe and I departed the jet.

Two detectives greeted us.

" what a pleasure it is to finally catch up with you Ms.emberlin." The African American one greeted extended his hand.

I glimpsed down at it before peering back up at his face with an unwelcoming expression.

The number one rule was no affiliation with the pigs! If you need justice the best way to get it is ...yourself.

He coughed gathering himself. "I'm detective Connor and this here is my partner detective Kim he announced introducing the Asian female detective.

"Look cut the bull shit, we don't need your assistance so save the introduction." Santino intervened stepping forward.

Det Connor looked over at Kim and they shared a laugh.

" look you guys have been floating below the radar after you fucked up the state of L.a , Cuban bodies laid all over your fathers home aside from his and you're refusing to cooperate! What kind of people are you? Now your daughters remains are dug up and burnt in a forest and you're still refusing to work with us on solving this!?" Detective Connor snapped In a firm mono tone.

The setting of silence fell over everyone as we stood there in the middle of the concrete run way staring at one another.

"Listen, we don't know anything so if we're not under arrest we'll be on our way." And with that notion I lead the way waltzing pass the officers.

"Play it your way ms.emberlin... We all know this game you're playing on has one ending, if I were you I'd help before it's too late!" Detective Kim spoke as we continued with our backs turned.

We made our way to the coroners office where everything from that point on became depressing and gloomy.

It was like déjà vu but 10 times worse!

My daughters skeleton was now ashes in a gold chrome urn. For the first time I saw santinos down!!

He instantly walked out the room to be alone.

I followed behind him leaving the others in the room.

Santino was leaned against the stone wall with a blank expression.

"Baby, I know it's hard right now but let's not lose sight of what we need to do as of this point! We are going to kill that bitch Adele and only then will we be able let Neegi rest in peace. She loved the ocean, so we're going to rest her ashes there after we get the revenge. "

Santino only stared straight ahead making no contact as he nodded in agreement zoning into a daze.

And with that said.... We were now leaving l.a!

As we boarded the jet my phone rung.

Hello? I answered.

"I would hope you haven't forgotten about our little meeting. I saw on the international news a little girls corpse had been burned and thought.... How wonderful of an idea was that. You know I'm thinking maybe you'd like to die the same way." Al Pono uttered, in a threatening tone.

"You know... Al Pono... You're a fuckin coward! You know exactly where I'm at but you're to pussy to come find me!!! Because deep down inside you're in fear of the death certificate you've already signed!!! You're weak and that little gorgeous women you had in your home telling us your every move and where about... Was none other than the Dons illegitimate daughter! Jokes on you!" I spat, ending the call on that note.

We had just entered a three way war!
