The Mafia Son

part 9

"So, are you going or not?" Nino asked with a concerned voice.

Fabio sat at his desk and me, Nino and a few of Fabio's closest men stood spread around in his office, discussing the matter.

"I don't know yet. If I go, someone will get killed by them and a war will break out, but if I don't, the same will happen." Fabio said frustrated.
I could tell he was struggling. He was fiddling with everything and he got angry at  nothing.

"You could go there and then attack them and meanwhile have a load of protection for the people you are close to and who need it." I heard. It was the man that stood on my left side. I had seen him around before.

"We don't know how much men they will have, or how much firearm, or how, where, when or with how much power they will attack our people. If I devide my men over everyone, and they decide to try and kill one single person with all of theirs, we won't have enough people there." Fabio answered.

"You have people on the inside with them, right?" I started. "Then maybe you could get one of them to try and figure out what Martelli's plans are so you can decide with that in the back of your head."

Fabio looked at me for a second.
"Alright I'm going to make some calls, I'd appreciate it if everyone could leave and wait outside for a minute." He said with a little more spark and hope in his voice than what I had heard of him the past few days.

Fabio picked up the horn and started dialling some number while everyone left his office and stood outside.

Not much later Fabio walked out again. He told everyone to go home and he told me and Nino to follow him.

We went outside and got into a car that was parked upfront. Fabio drove and me and Nino sat in the back.

"Where are we going?" Nino asked.

"We're meeting up with some of my men on the inside, like Dominic said. I can't talk to much with them on the phone, because there might be people that work for Martelli on my inside and I don't want any of them listening to what they tell me or who my inside men are. So the two of you could come cause I know you don't work for him." Fabio answered. He sounded hasty, like he was nervous.

"What's wrong?" Nino's voice sounded.

"I'm not sure yet."

We arrived at a somewhat abandoned looking storage container place. There was one other car parked at the place.

We got out of the car and two men also stepped out of the other car and walked over to us. One of them had a friendly face, his appearance seemed nice and calm. He had a mustach on his upper lip and curly hair, the other guy on his left didn't look as nice and bright, he looked like he could break someone like a twig.

before they reached us, Fabio signed that they had to stay back.

"Nino, check them for recording devices or weapons please." He said.

Nino walked over to them and started patting them down.
Meanwhile I got out a pack of cigarettes out of my pocket, put one in my mouth and lit it.

"They're clean." Nino called out after he was done.

"Alright, were you followed? Or was your car tagged?" Fabio asked specifically towards the man on the right.

"No, don't worry I checked everything before we left." He answered.

"Okay, start talking then, I don't have much time and I don't suppose you do either, so make it quick."

"From what we heard, Antonio Martelli has men inside of the people you most trust and that's why we couldn't talk over the phone." The man with the mustach started. "Salomone overheard a conversation from Martelli with his brother about him wanting his inside people to attack someone while you are over talking to them. That you would be distracted and that you would put them there for protection, while they would actually be the thread themselfs."

"Did you hear who he was referring to?" Fabio asked, now pointing his attention to the big guy on the left.

"No, but he did say you would never suspect  this particular person." Salomone answered. He had a deep voice, soothing his appearance.

Fabio sat down on the hood of the car. His arms leaning on his knees. It gave him a somewhat desperate look.

"That's all, we don't have anything else. I'm sorry boss." The mustache guy muttered.

"Alright, I won't hold you guys here much longer. Go back before anyone starts suspecting something." Fabio said.

The men went back to their car and drove away, leaving Fabio broken behind.

"Shit." I heard Nino whisper under his breath.

We stayed there for a while, not moving a lot, all just kinda up in our own minds. Until Fabio got up, walked over to a iron barrel that stood against one of the storage containers and started beating and kicking it violently.
"God damnit!" He shouted out into the sky.
He kept attacking the thing for a while, until he ran out of breath.
The barrel was heavily dented and crushed. Fabio didn't make it much better of tho. His fists were covered in blood, streaming down his wrists and dripping onto the floor.

Fabio's face was red like the devil, he had sweat going down the sides of his head and his hair looked like shit. He overall looked defeated.

When we got home, Fabio immediatly went upstairs to freshen himself up. I went into the living room, where Luna and Giulia were playing, but when I walked in, Luna ran towards me and grabbed me into a hug. I lifted her up and helt her for a second.

"I was worried." She whispered in my ear.
I scoffed jokingly.
"Don't be, I'll be alright, you know that right?"
She nodded uncertain.

I sat her back down and walked over to where they were playing.
"What are you guys doing?" I asked.

"We're building a castle made out of blankets and cousions. Wanne see?" Luna asked excited.

"Sure, show me around."
The three of us went into the little room made out of the couch and some blankets.
Inside they had layed down some cousions in a circle with some snacks in the middle.

"Neat."

Giulia laughed as I sat down on one of the cousions.

"You are too big to fit in here." She said giggling. And she was right, I took up about a fourth of the entire place.

"Alright alright, I see how it is, little girls only huh." I said while taking a hand full of crisps and putting them all into my mouth at once.

I left the castle and went upstairs into my room.
I let myself fall onto the mattress and I instantly fell asleep.
