Lucky

Chapter 41: Newbies

I need to shower this sweat, right? "I know you're thinking about it. I already texted them there on their way Santo has him hidden in his chest" Mia reads my mind there's no doubt she wants to see Gabriele.

He's probably coming with Santo too. "You stink, I can smell you from here" Enzo looks up from his phone. Yes I fucking get it I was working out. Of course I'm going to stink, that means it's working.

"I know that bitch I'll be back" The warehouse Is fairly big. This Is where our meetings, training, and everything goes on. There are some people who join us and don't have anywhere to go so I provide housing for them.

The buildings in the back are all made in apartment form constantly being stocked with food, water, and light everything they need. I'm glad there's an attached bathroom here too.

The shower isn't as big as the one at home but I just need to make sure I don't stink. Blade throwing doesn't call for sweating so I'll be good enough to still train.

The water hits my skin taking off the bad smell replacing it with the smell of strawberries. It's only short. I quickly dry my body by putting on a red dress. It lands just a little below my butt. Slipping on a pair of heels I walk out of the bathroom just as Santo walks in with Gabriele, Rory and Luciano.

"Hey Ma" Santo smiles at me holding out Luciano for me. "Hello my wonderful children" I take the baby from him sitting on my spinning chair. Luciano opens his beautiful eyes smiling at me.

"Daddy" Gabriele runs up to Adriano who walks into the room. Adri lifts him up in his arms, hugging him resting his child on his hip. "Hey bud how are you?" He ruffled his hair, messing it up.

Luciano stays staring at me moving his arms around. "You look more and more like your father each day" He's a spitting image of Lucky from his hair, to his eyes, even his smile.

"Without a doubt in mind anyone looks at him and can tell that's Lucky's kid" Enzo moves from off the couch grabbing his laptop. Most likely answering work.

I hold onto Luciano a bit longer before Adriano tells me it's time to go back to the newbies. "Ma I'll be here until after the first meeting. I have to go to that one but Rory will be here watching him then I'll go home" Santo reassures me by taking Luci from me.

I mumble a fine walking out of the room. Adriano follows behind me pushing the elevator buttons. None of these newbies better fuck with me. Going back to the training floor my heels click against the floor.

They all line up in front of the targets standing in two lines. Perfect. "Right, first we're going to test your blade throwing skills. The people who we think are more advanced will get put in a harder course. After that we will go to the shooting range. The half that is more advanced will go with me, the others will go with Adriano. I'm only explaining this once so pay attention" They nod their heads watching as I explain how to throw each blade properly.

Knives have always been my favorite. I could throw them in my sleep. A blade is an easier way shooting them; your target could still survive. When you have a blade, one cut in the throat and you're gone.

I watch carefully as each one of them step up throwing the blades. Some don't even come close to hitting the board. There's one final girl who hasn't gone yet. She shyly steps up grabbing one taking a deep breath.

Each one she throws hits the targets perfectly with the proper amount of force and aim. She's on her final blade and flicks it hitting bullseye. Adriano gives me a look that he's impressed. I am too "What's your name?" I ask her while Adriano splits up the group.

"My name is Alice" Her eyes are full of fear, scared of what's going to happen next. "How old are you?"

"I just turned 16 last week" She's still a baby. It's harder for people who aren't born into this life to get in. Usually we take in people who have nothing at all. "Do you have a family?" She shakes her head no sighing.

"My family was killed when I was 8 I was living with my aunt then she kicked me out now I'm here hoping to have a real family for once"

"Looks like you came to the right place then. Come on we're going to the advanced targets" I smile at her signaling for me to follow.  The advanced targets are more like real life situations. The targets are harder to hit. They start off in one place for the first few throws then after about 2 rounds they move around constantly. It's all about focus.

"Start throwing" I watch as they try their best to hit the targets. Sitting in one of the chairs I have a perfect view of their throwing. "Hey shithead" Leo walks in with Lucky looking at them.

"Shut the fuck up Leo" I roll my eyes at him flicking him off. For newbies they're not bad at all, some are stronger than others but it all takes time and practice. Lucky eyes scan my body burning the dress off of my body. He lifts me off the chair sitting down, placing me on his lap.

"Much better now" I rested my back on his chest holding his hand. The rounds continue to get harder and harder. I stare them down.  I get out of Lucky's grip shutting off the target machines.

"Alright you've done enough of throwing today now we're going on shooting" I walk past some guards into the shooting range. Adriano's still with his group.

"Closely look because one wrong move and it's over. It'll get easier over time but right now don't worry about speed, worry about accuracy" I go step by step in the parts of a gun and how to aim and shoot properly.

Last thing I need is someone killing themselves or someone else by accident. "Luciano's upstairs with Santo" I tell Lucky sitting next to him laying on his side.

Leo watches over the kids shooting to make sure they're doing it correctly. "You look fucking beautiful Bambina. This fucking dress is going to make you pregnant again" He growls in my ear I don't need to get pregnant again.

At least not now.

I loved being pregnant but Luciano is still small. Maybe when he's a year and a half old.  "Amore stop" I warn him, moving his hands from right below my dress to about my waist. "Tonight you're mine" The hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I feel my body warm at his words.

Stupid fucking reactions to him. "Ok you're done with skills for today. Go to your assigned person and help them until tomorrow" I quickly stood up telling them.  Once they walk out Lucky looks at me like he's the most innocent person in the room.

He's very far from it.

I just want to see my kids right now.
