The Gangster And The Hacker

Chapter 25

"Are you fucking pazzo?! Why the fuck are you making a big deal of this and creating a havoc in the middle of the night?!" I yelled at them.

"But, she's-" Riley was saying but I cut her off, not wanting to hear any bullshit.

"She wasn't a prisoner here, you imbecilés! Before also she used to go wherever the fuck she can and now you're noticing this?!"

"She left Louis here. And by the looks of it, she didn't have the time to pack her painting stuff either." Marc butted in. Che cosa?!

"She left that damn gatto (cat) here?" I asked, not able to digest il dato (the fact/data). She would never leave that gatto, that too in my or my crew's hands.

I looked around... everything was at its place. Which means the probability of someone breaking in is negative.

La donna pazza would keep up a real fight for fake kidnapping, if someone did try to kidnap her for real, she would bring hell to them before they could get her unconscious.

Most importantly, no one is as mad as her to scale a grattacielo (skyscraper), that too at notte (night).

And she never leaves Louis behind, unless...

"She went without gatto on purpose. To do something important. Where she can't keep the damn gatto with her."

"So we should find her." Mark said and everyone looked at him in surprise.

"Are you going mad or what, Mark? Why do you want to find her? She went out by herself without saying anything to anyone. If she dies, that's on her. And if she dies, good for us. One mouth less for us to feed here." Riley scoffs.

"Riley, shut it and think rationally. She's the best hacker we can ever get and she did save our asses, even if she has some ulterior motive." Mark glared at her.

"And for the matter of fact, Jasper has a tracker on her." I glared at him for busting me out.

"What? How?" Everyone yelled.

"The ring with which I 'proposed' her. The tracker is in that. It tracks her location." She was the one who suggested that. In fact everyone including me has a tracker on them. To track who could be the traitor. While I have access only over her tracker, she tracks everyone from the crew.

She stated and I quote 'I am not stupid to give the whole and sole access of their trackers as well. For all I know you would either try to protect them or kill them all by yourself. I have a plan for them and certainly won't let you ruin them.'

She ruins my plans and she doesn't want me to ruin hers? That's some biased rules.

I went to my room to get the iPad through which I could track her and smirked.

Mac's PoV

I don't know how I ended up being chased by some goon sent by one of my rivals. Or by Jasper. Ahh! Why the fuck Vale had to use his head somewhere else which ain't treating some damn idiotic people! If he hadn't used his brain a few days ago and got me here, I would have been sipping my whiskey and irritating Jasper and his crew!

Flashback

Few hours earlier...

Yeah, it was Vale, who intruded the room.

"What the fucking hell!" I yelled and he shushed me.

"Don't yell! Do you want me dead, woman?" He whispered.

"Exactly! Do you really want to die at the crew's hands! Why the hell are you even here! And how in the fuck did you even get here?!" I almost yelled but lowered my voice when I heard footsteps outside because of which I tried to lower my voice.

Keyword- tried.

Because I was damn sure that some or the other word would slip out, because of which I decided to refrain myself from using his name in the conversation.

"I went to the hospital. To see her."

"To the damn hospital?! Are you going insane?!" I asked, stopping myself from yelling.

"Yes I was! You don't understand how hard it is for me to stay away from her when she needs me the most! And I have transferred her from France to here." He whispered, but I could clearly hear the annoyance in his voice.

"Are you hell bent on taking her damn life?! Tell me so that I can make the arrangements and give her a peaceful death." I whispered back venomously.

"You can't check on her anymore, but someone has to! And besides, you're forgetting that she's in there for years because of you!" He whispered back in the same tone but within a few microseconds the shock crept on his face. He didn't even try to hide it.

"I-"

"I never denied that." I whispered back monotonously.

"Where and in which hospital is she in? How is she now?" I asked and he started to panic again.

"That's why I was here!" The urgency was evident in his tone and face which gave me unwanted ideas and thoughts.

"What is it?"

"Her health-" Before he could complete his sentence, I got my backpack and filled it with my essentials.

Kissing Louis' head, I asked him, "From where did you enter this room?"

He went to the bathroom and pressed his hand on the wall behind the cabinet and a door popped open that blended with the bathroom's wall.

Now I know why that bastard didn't want me to do the dusting of the damn bathroom.

"It leads to the rooftop, from where we can sneak out the building safely without getting noticed by the guards or the Future Mafia King." I chuckled when he stressed at 'safely' and his choice of nickname for Jasper.

"Come on, we can't waste time." I walked inside the secret passage but Vale interrupted me.

"What about Louis? As much as I love that you aren't taking him with us, he might destroy the room with you not there to stop him." He shuddered, I guess because he remembered the condition of his condo when we left Lou alone there a few years ago.

"Jazzy can handle that." I walked ahead into the secret passage.

"He would murder the damn cat!" He exclaimed behind me and I could hear the fake wall closing.

"He knows better than messing with Lou!" I said and the echo was heard in the secret passage- or tunnel- or whatever this shit is called.

After reaching the rooftop, we quietly went a few floors below without making any sort of disturbance and entered the lift to go down to the main entrance. We took different ways to get to the hospital, even after Xavier protested, as I had planned this just in case, someone had planned to attack.

And if not that, then Jasper might send some goons to make my life miserable or as some sort of fucking return gift for not 'informing' him that I had to go for some work. As if living with them hasn't fucked up my life enough and I don't have any other work than informing them my fucking whereabouts.

End of flashback

And now here I am, saving Vale's sorry ass by staying as far away as I can from the damn hospital. You better be taking care of her Xavier Vale or else I will make regret that you knew me in the first place.
