Crimson Revenge

Chapter 9

Enjoy!

Giovanni POV

Katherine told me everything. How she dug up dirt on Calina and found out she came over to the U.S. illegally, and about her psycho ex fiancé who has been looking for her the past couple of years. She even found a way to get in contact with him and scheduled a meeting for him to get her.

She thought that if she got rid of her, there would be nothing standing between her and me.

"Did you tell him about me?" I growled with fury in my voice.

"N-no, I only told him that I would be glad to be rid of her and taking her away would be doing me a favor...he never asked me why." She quivered with trembling lips.

I then grabbed her jaw and made her look at me. "I better never see your face around me again unless it's with your father because if I do...you don't wanna know what I'm gonna do with you," I growl as I clench my teeth.

She just stared back at me like a deer caught in the headlights as her bottom lip trembled.

"Am I clear?!" I yell.

"Yes! I promise!" She begged. I then released her not wanting to torment her any longer.

Walking out of her apartment I let out a sigh in relief knowing Alejandro doesn't know about me. I can definitely use that to my advantage.
Pulling out my cell I call up Trevor.

"Trevor I want you to dig up everything you can about an Alejandro Vargas." I say as I walk to my car. I spot Mason leaning up against it and swat his head for smudging my car.

"Can you be a little more specific...that's kind of a common name in Mexico."

"How bout this. Alejandro Julio Vargas, drug cartel lord."

~~~

"Okay...this is what I found out," Trevor says through the speaker on my phone. I was now sitting in my office with a few of my mob buddies along with mason listening on the info he dug up on Vargas.

"Where do I begin to start. Alejandro is named one of the top 5 dangerous people in the world. This Alejandro guy's family has been in the cartel for generations it seems like. They have the police under their thumb...even the President doesn't mess with him. The guy is pretty much untouchable."

I was quiet as sweat dripped on my brow. I was a little nervous but I wouldn't let them know that. "Go on," I said roughly.

"Well when it comes to killing people they are pretty brutal with it. These sick fucks will chainsaw your head off if you even think about leaving the cartel."

I remember Calina telling me how her father was in the cartel and his head was cut off as well...I don't know how she's been coping after seeing something like that happen to someone she loved..

"What about his whereabouts? Where does he live?" I ask eagerly.

"Well, he has several homes around Mexico and a few in Spain...but, an article came out today stating that he's having a celebration party for the reunion of his 'fiancé' this coming weekend at his Hacienda in Mexico City."

I nod my head. "Good." I turn my attention to Mason. "Mason, call my pilot to get the Jet ready. We will be leaving for Mexico City first thing tomorrow."

"Woah, woah, you aren't thinking about going to that party? You heard what Trevor said...this guy is bad news. What if we get caught? They will kill us on the spot." Mason says with a worried expression.

"I am a mafia boss. I can handle this," I say with fury.

"And this guy is a cartel boss...he's on a whole different level...you own this city...but he...he owns the whole country of Mexico. Face it Giovanni. We don't stand a chance," he says. His expression was showing defeat mixed with sorrow.

I slam my fists on my desk which startles everyone in the room. "We have to do something! He has her! We can't just sit here while he does god knows what to her! I promised her I would protect her from him and I had already broken that promise."

Mason was quiet and unmoving but I decided to continue my rant.

"You told me you have feelings for Calina not too long ago and said I didn't deserve her. What happened to that guy huh?" I asked looking directly at his eyes.

He instantly broke eye contact with me. "You...you don't think this is killing me? Knowing this son of a bitch has a hold of her. You don't think I want to scream at the top of my lungs from frustration...I can't do that because I need to be strong...not only for her but for myself. I care for her as much as you do." He says grimly as he peers up at me with squinted eyelids.

"Then prove it. Come with me to Mexico and help me get her back." I say with finality.

He hesitates for a few moments before he lets out a defeated grunt. "Okay...but we need to think of a plan. We can't just go all Scarface on their asses. We need to have a strategy to get into the party." He says as he rubs his temples.

I let a smirk escape my lips appreciating his cooperation in getting her back. "Don't worry I have it mostly planned out."

I then take out one of our bags holding the new drug and place it on the table in front of everyone. Everyone looked at the bed then looked at me confusingly.

"So you want to get us high in order to get into the party?" Mason asks with a scrunched up face.

I ignore his idiotic question. "Is this not our best selling drug ?" I ask mason who answers with a nod.

"And when a drug is a best seller...usually it's sold to OTHER big drug lords..correct? Which means Vargas most likely has the product as well."

"Yes...where are you going with this?" Mason narrows his eyes as he crosses his arms.

"Have any of us ever met Dr. Marcus Cruz ? Seen what he looks like?" I continue.

Everyone in the room shakes their head.

"Why?"

Everyone thinks for a moment before I see a light bulb turn on in Masons eyes. "Because he doesn't want anyone to know who he really is.."

"Exactly! He won't let anyone see his face. Which means I can pretend to be Marcus and slip in the party and out with her...without anyone knowing." I say with finality.

Mason shakes his head. "It's too risky. You could still get caught. One mess up and you can wind up dead. Why don't you let me go?" Mason asks.

I shake my head. " No, Marcus is said to be Latino and you are a blonde hair blue eyed guy and he speaks fluent Spanish which you don't."  I pointed out.

He lets out a defeated groan. "Fuck...you're right." He then sighs before looking at me. "So, we have a plan?"

I nodded with a satisfied smirk. "We have a plan...and it's time to set it in motion."

I take out my phone again and dial a phone number of someone who would help us.

"Hey Luigi. I have a favor to ask. Can you drop by the office? I need some sample suits...and some masks."
