The Gangster's Baby Boy 2 [INDEFINITIVE HIATUS]

Chapter 014

The sunlight was shining into the bedroom, it grew and awoke Erik who's been asleep for almost 10 hours. He was rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand for at least a few seconds before he heard his phone ring. It was on the nightstand right beside him so he simply reached his hand forward and grabbed it.

With his semi opened eyes, he carefully read the name then picked up.

"What's up Katrina?"

"We have a lead on the latest accidents"

Without wasting anymore time, Erik hang up and bolted out of the apartment completely forgetting about his previous weak state.

As soon as he stepped into the station, he was surprised to find everyone running around and discussing a few things, it seemed so busy here. He just walked pass a few coworkers, some greeted him and some smiled at him.

He opened the door to his office and spotted his entire team already waiting for him.

"I'm sorry for coming late. What did I miss?"

"No worries"

Katrina handed Erik a file and he quickly opened it. The file contained the following information; the people killed were innocent, they had no criminal background and some were even badly sick. Their deaths were believed to be the work of a certain killer but since Erik's team believed it was the mafia they pushed their theory further, which came out as positive and correct. This was the work of the Russian mafia, but not from the notorious Vladimir Petrov but rather the work of someone else. Someone far worse. Vladimir Petrov may have killed innocent people but his main targets were mainly wealthy people who had a bad reputation for being jerks, other criminals who interfered with the mafia and people hiring them to do something. The police were strongly against this theory since Erik was fresh out of the educational system and didn't believe his words for lack of experience and also because of Petrov's sudden disappearance.

Erik slowly closed the file and handed it back to Katrina.

"We now have the approval of the theory sir. What's the plan?"

He simply walked over to his desk, pulled his chair back and sat down. He leaned himself comfortably backwards and let out a long and exhausted sigh.

"Search the areas once again for possible clues. Contact every man or woman who has interacted with the mafia before about this matter and interrogate them"

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone took their things and walked to make complete their tasks, only Katrina remained. She closed the door behind the others and walked back towards the closed eyed and tired Erik with crossed arms and a worried expression.

"You've been working non-stop Erik. You should probably take a break"

"I can't. The theory has been approved by the big boss, we might as well take this chance and use every possible thing to find these bastards before they pull another little trick on our people"

"I know you're relieved to finally have the theory approved, but we shouldn't act carelessly"

Katrina noticed how Erik didn't respond to her and was instead rubbing the side of his head with his eyes still closed. He seemed in pain and under stress, Katrina could simply read her friend well.
