Rosalina's POV
The sounds of screaming metal came through the phone, and Rosalina ripped the phone away from her ear as quickly as she could.
"JACK????" she screamed! "Are you there? Can you hear me? ARE YOU OK? Fùck! Answer me! Please!"
Then, the call was disconnected.
Rosalina immediately started to pace up and down the length of the XR6 her mum loaned her.
Her hands reached into her hair, grasped the strands, and gave them a few sharp tugs. "ARRGGHH! Matteo! You may be my brother by blood, but if you're the one who has hurt Jack? I'll kill you myself!"
And with that thought process, Rosalina knew she had to call in a few friends, and sort this all out... once and for all!

Matteo's POV
Where is Rosalina?
Not a single contact in Sydney has seen her. The mobile has stopped accessing her SIM. No car. No house. No movements on her currently full bank accounts. No NOTHING!
She can't have just disappeared off the face of the earth!
I know the boys had been in touch with her "Pet" Detective.
I wonder how th-

"Matteo here, what's the score?"
(It was his second In command - Vincenzo.)
"Ciao Matteo! Como stai?"
(Hi Matteo! How are you?)
"Cosi cosi, grazi brother. Any news? Sightings?"
(So so. Thank you brother.)
"Not her car, but a female matching Rosies description was seen at the cemetery where Giuseppe is buried. Want me to ch-"
"I'm only 6 minutes away from there. I'll go and keep you posted. I have another call. Ciao bro!"

Matteo ends the call with Vincenzo, to see that it was the devil-woman herself calling him.

"What do you want- traitor?" Matteo spat down the line.

"Ha! And what would you know about loyalty? I'm the one who emotionally supported Mum when Dad died. I'm the one that financially supported Mum when Dad died, and Mum made it clear she wanted to keep the house - no matter the cost! You're only compromise was to move Mum in with you, and ditch me. How did that help Mum?" Rosalina all but screamed into the phone.

"That's your pathetic reasoning? Ha! Dad would be rolling in his grave if he knew what I know! You killed a man, set the Mob up to take the fall, then got yourself a "Pet" Detective to help you cover your bases! Your a rat dog skunk." Matteo growled back.

Rosalina laughed. Long, hard, loud and clear!
"Your delusional dear brother! But, I'm at the Cemetary visiting Dad for guidance. If we're going to sort this all out - once and for all, I suppose you had best meet me here."

"See you in less than 5 minutes, sister." Matteo replied and then disconnected their call.

Rosalina's POV (Vs Matteo)
*click*
"He hung up. I really don't have long." Rosalina thought to herself.
"He's seriously pìssed! How do I go about this?"
She continued to think.
Various scenarios were playing out in her mind. But she didn't like any of their endings.

The only obvious sort of thing she could think of, was to surprise him with a quick draw bullet.
She quickly pulled out the loaded gun her mother handed her as she shoved her out the back door. Cocked it, released the safety and gently squeezed the trigger like her Papa taught her.
*BOOM*
Trusty handgun.
Rosalina could smell the smoke of the dislodged bullet having been set off.
It took her straight back to her childhood training with Papa. And upon a closer physical inspection of the weapon - it actually looked to be the exact same weapon she trained with, too!
