Two Broken Hearts

Chapter forty-four

Matteo's POV:

Today I had a day off because Marcus was taking care of the warehouse on the one side and Antonio on the other.

I had trust in my men and today I put them to work.

I was now in the house, looking over some documents that were left in my office.

Then Tom, my man that went with Maria today to a mission, came in the house, running.

He had wide eyes and was breathing heavily.

I stood up: "What's wrong, Tom? Is everything alright?" I asked, coming towards him.

He shook his head: "Maria..." He said and stopped.

"Did something happen to Maria?" I asked now scared.

"S-she got in and w-was about to kill the guy but something went wrong. After she didn't call for us for more than two hours we stepped inside and looked for her. We found her gun on one of the men who was dead with a few others." He said while stammering.

I furrowed my eyebrows: "Where are the other two?" I asked.

"They tried to question some of the witnesses and told me to go tell you." He said.

I sighed: "And she doesn't have a ring, so I can't look for her, great." I said to myself.

"Does she have her cell phone with her?" Tom asked me.

I shrugged and quickly got out my phone and pressed call.

The music of her phone filled the house with a song "My milkshake brings all the boys to the bar".

I shook my head in anger and put my phone back in my pocket.

"Here's what we'll do. I'm going to call Marcus and Antonio to tell him about the situation. They will help us in searching for her." I said.

Tom nodded and I informed the rest about the situation and they were already on their way.

Tom and I got in the car and started going towards the club that she was last in.

As I was driving I asked Tom to tell me exactly what happened from his point of view.

*Flashback

Tom's POV:

The guys and me waited in the car talking about the jobs and what will who do when we get on the scene.

Our beepers where Maria was supposed to call were in front of us as we waited for them to go off.

We waited for a while and checked multiple times for any sign that she was calling us.

She always said that we don't go in unless she calls. It could a whole day that she didn't call us but we shouldn't interfere.

We agreed with her and because of that we waited for over two hours.

After some time Chris decided that him and I go check the situation and that Martin will stay at the car in case we need the car.

Me and Chris entered the club and it was full like the usual, nothing seemed out of the ordinary except that we couldn't find Maria. We entered the VIP lounge and that's when we pieced the pieces together.

First thing that we noticed was that there were two men in suits covered in blood and gun shot wounds. Chris looked around and it seemed like no one was there anymore.

Chris found one stripper in the corner crying and we took her as a hostage.

I examined the two guys that were dead on the floor and saw that they were Mr. Perry's bodyguards.
