My Endeavor

Chapter 26: "Enough"

The sound of machines echoes across the room as Nik's steady heartbeats are being tracked. The men sit around him just waiting till he wakes. Gio put his arm over his brother's shoulder to ease up his tension.

"He will wake soon brother, he will tell us everything."

Leo walks over to the bed his face full or worries and concern. "My god he looks like shit, what have they done to him?... Look at his hands..."

"I know... it's sickening to think about what he could have been through" Luca reaches over and grabs Nik's hand. "Come back to us brother." As soon as Luca finishes, Nik's eyes pop wide open and he begins to scream out of his mind.

"Get off me!" Nik pushes Luca away. "Let me go! Don't you dare touch her!" Nik gets frantic and begins to remove all the patches from his chest and his IV's the men try to calm him down and grab on to him.

"Nik relax! It's us!" Alberto yells out while trying to hold on to one of Nik's arms. Leo was around Nik's body while Luca held his legs.
"Let me go!  I have to get her out of there before they kill them!" Nik keeps fighting to be released. Gio walks over to Nik and without thinking twice backhand slaps Nik, immediately calming him down.

"That was a bit harsh!" Luca tells his brother.

Gio sits next to Nik "Alright Nik you need to calm down and tell me what happened, who are they going to kill."

Nik takes a deep breath and he looks over to Luca, "They took us to a cabin off the I-45." He looks down and takes a tight grip on the bed sheets "You need to save them, Luca, you are all they have."

"Who is they? what are you talking about!" Luca grabs Nik by the shoulders.

"It's Vicky... she's pregnant... they want to kill her an take the baby."

"Wh-what?" Luca stutters as his anxiety takes over his thoughts. "My baby?..."

"yes... they are planning to keep the baby when it's born... and kill her off." Nik hisses and grabs his head quickly. "Fuck!"

"Alright Nik lay down you need to rest. Let's leave him" Gio motions everyone to exit the room and let Nik rest.

Outside Luca sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting room and leaned his head on the wall. He takes a deep breath and his eyes slowly water, he tried holding it in but he brakes and cries out.

He sat in that chair both hands on his face while tears rolled down his cheeks and in between his fingers, the feeling of hopelessness giving his body a warm embrace, his heart slowly shattering into pieces because the woman he loved was somewhere in the edge of danger and was carrying his child. Millions of scenarios passed through his mind of different ways he was going to kill the Yakovich's.

"A father ah?" Leo says sarcastically. "Never thought I'd see the day..."

The room kept quiet as all the men stared at each other and at Gio and Luca waiting for someone to say something and make a plan. Gio sits next to Luca.

"We have to find her Gio, I can't take this anymore... I can't let her be killed... if she dies my child dies... I can't even..."

"We will find her... but we can't do this alone... we need to talk to father and ask him for help."

Luca takes a deep breath and a small pause. "... I'll do whatever it takes brother, I just want her home."

                     ****

"Unacceptable!" Donatello snaps at Luca. "Again you want me to put my men at risk again for that woman! she's nothing to me, she's nothing to this family. You better get your head out of your ass boy and accept the fact that's it's over and you will never see her again."

"Father you don't understand, PLEASE we must get her back!" Luca pleas to his father.

"I don't want to hear it, the request has been denied now get back to work before you regret it!"

"Father she's carrying Marino blood."

"What... you didn't." Donatello's blood boils as he clenched his fist and stood up from his desk. "You idiota, what have you done!. This is not Cossa Nostra rules Luca!"

"Fuck the Cossa Nostra, I want her, I love her! And she's carrying my child and you will help me get her back! And If you don't I'll go there myself even if it fucking kills me! Good Luck finding your next Capo Bastone." Luca flips the chair he was sitting on and turns to walk out of the office.

"Luca wait..." Donatello speaks up making Luca stop in place and look over his shoulder. Donatello takes a deep breath. "Fine... I will help you get her back, she carries my blood within her and I cannot turn my back on one of mine, your mother may have been a treacherous snake but you and your brother were the only good things that came out of our marriage and I'm not letting you go on this mission by yourself its suicide ... take your brother, all the men you need, sort them out...  I will have the vans ready for tomorrow night. Now Leave."

"Yes, sir." Luca quickly walks out of the room.

Donatello sits back down and leans on his desk. And chuckles as he talks to himself. "A Marino...this changes everything now... oh my dear Luca what a blessed thing you have done" Donatello evilly smirks. "New times are coming it's time to go above and beyond the lines, no matter what. Alessandro!" he calls out to one of his men outside.

"Yes boss.?" Alessandro says as he walks into the office.

"Bring me my private phone... I think it's time Vladimir and I had a little talk."
