The Thief(Complete) (Sample)

II.

"What do you care for? They came in here and stole from us! My fucking ring is gone and you wanna question who shot at the fucking gutter rat?" Rina hissed and I move closer toward her then dig in my pocket and take out her ring.

"This is what you want so bad? Take it! She said she'd give it back and she did so now what Rina?! You have your fucking ring back!" I throw it across the room and she turns her head in the direction of the ring then back at me.

"They deserved it and most importantly, it taught them a lesson to not ever fuck with our families again! Move on, just another example made!" 

"Who shot the girl?!" I asked once again while completely ignoring Rina's last statement, none of my men said a word but a few glanced at Rina. I point my finger at her and she shrugs while beginning to laugh.

"You shot her?!"

"Yep and I'd do it again if I had the opportunity to!" she smiled in my face, my mother walks closer toward me and places her hand on my chest then pats it.

"Dai!" (Come on!) My mother said and Rina laughs while walking over toward her ring. I fixed my jacket and head for the front doors, my men and the Di Norcia men did too along with my best friend Benito.

"Can 4 of you check the nearest hospitals for a young black female, possibly between the age of 22 to 26. Umm, gray eyes and dark brown hair, maybe 5'4 to 5'6! Gunshot wounds, specify the wounds!" I gave them a description of the women that I saw at the café, Marnie was her name.

"Why are we looking for her? Are we finishing the job?" one of them asked and I shook my head no.

"Find her and don't let any of the Florentino's know, I just wanna make sure she's alright.." I expressed to them and they nodded then headed for their vehicles, Ben stood beside me while still smoking on his cigar then points at me.

"What are you doing?" he asked me and I lift my hand up then put it on my face and sigh.

"I don't know, I feel guilty.."

"You, guilty? That's a first! You're one of the most heartless fuckers that I know!" he says.

"Yeah, remember the girl from the café?" I asked in return and he nods his head.

"Beautiful angel with the gra--"

"Yeah.." I cut him off.

"No, you think that's her?!" he asks and I nodded my head yes again.

"Yeah, and I think that piece of shit who was being a prick to her back at the café was one of the guys too but I couldn't make out the other two. She didn't do this voluntarily.."

"No? What makes you think that? She sure as hell moved like it."

"When she got closer to Rina and me, I saw fear. The same fear from the café when that asshole kept moving closer to her, she risked her life coming in there tonight then giving me back the ring! Ben, she gave me back a ring that's worth a shit ton of money if given to the right buyer.. I found her ring and I'm gonna return the favor!" I expressed to him and he clears his throat.

"So what do we do? I know you and you're not gonna let this die.."

"You're damn right I'm not.. Paola's working the late shift at the hospital, you call her and ask her if she had any recent gunshot wound patients enter the hospital." I suggested and he laughs.

"She's your sister and you got me calling!" he chuckles while pointing his cigar at me.

"She's not gonna tell me, make the call jackass!"
