Hired

Chapter 5

Eva

I opened my eyes to the sight of an unfamiliar room, it was large and very beautiful, but that was the least of my concern, I rolled off the bed and walked to the door, I attempted to open it, but it was locked from the outside,

I began tugging and shaking the doorknob, but no response, "Where's my brother?" I yelled banging at  it furiously,

Suddenly the door was pushed open, causing me to fall onto my back, I looked up to see one of the men, the same one I had seen in the car, before I passed out,

"Boss would see you now."

"Where's my brother?" I blurted without thinking of the consequences, he didn't respond other than pull me off the floor and onto his broad shoulders like I had weighed nothing.

"Put me down."

I began kicking and biting but he didn't flinch. He carried me down the hallway, the hallway was long and dark lined up with stall doors and artistic works.

The man stopped at a door that was slightly larger than others and threw me on the hard floor, before knocking,

I got up and dusted myself with a sigh,

"Come in." I voice responded from inside, the man opened a door and pushed me in, causing me to almost loose my balance,

"Oh, Frank.. That's not how you treat a guest." A voice spoke up and I looked to the end of the wide room to see a man seated behind a large desk,

But what nearly caused my mouth to drop, were the collection of guns hanging behind him on the tainted wall,

"Beautiful, isn't it? you should see my museum."

I gulped, wondering what sort of mess I have gotten myself into,

"Don't trouble your mind, dear. I wouldn't hurt you not when you're worth more alive." He said with a proud smile on his face, before walking out from behind his desk to me,

"Give us a minute, would you, Frank?"

Frank nodded and left the room, leaving me with this strange man and his terrifying gun collection, that I couldn't stop staring at,

"Who are you and where's my brother? This wasn't part of the deal, she promised to release him to me."

I blurted almost loosing my patience, "and we will." He says and walks back to his desk, "Take a seat, we have a lot to discuss." He gestured me to the seat in front of his desk."

I stood firmly on my feet, though very terrified, "I want to see my brother."

He clenched, his eyeballs turning pitch black,

"Take a seat, Eva and I won't ask again." He hurled, I slowly walked up to his desk and took a seat right in front of him,

"Where am I?"

"Italy." He uttered simply, causing my eyes to grow wide,

"What?!"

"While you were unconscious, my men brought you here, this is where your mission begins." Italy? how long was I out?

My heart began to race, this isn't a joke anymore, I am being kidnapped in a different country, "where's my brother?"

"Don't worry about him he's fine...my men got him out of Jail and in a safe place, that's as long as you follow instructions." He threatened.

"What instructions?"

He stood up from his desk and reached to my side,

"I have not introduced myself, I am Gabriel knight, the rightful capo to the Italian mafia....you see my father was Charles Knight II, Head of the Italian mafia and I was his heir."

His eyes then turned deadly, "but upon his death the Mafia empire was given to my nephew. An empire I sacrificed and worked so hard to build, while waiting to be mine..he stole it from me:-

He continued, but how it involved me, He still hadn't gotten to that part, 

"All means to destroy him, had proven abortive." He lifted my chin to his eyes and smiled sickly, "but you are my newest weapon, naive, innocent, beautiful, and unexpected, just all the right ingredients to take  him down finally."

I gulped, "how?"

He stalks over to the bar and poured himself a glass,

"There would be a bidding at the casino tonight, all the famous Mafia Capos and Dons would be there, I had received a tip from a very reliable source that he will be attending tonight, you'd be attending as well wearing a wire and we would be telling you what and when to do."

As he stopped I felt a deep ache of fear and dread in the pit of my stomach, what I was thinking accepting this deal? Or getting involved with this people,

Did I really believe I could pull this off?

Kill an Italian Mafia capo? Me? I can't even fight my own thoughts, I would probably end up getting caught and sent back to jail or worse killed, "Why me?"

"You owe me a debt?" He answered simply, I took in a deep breath, before whispering the next question,

"And if I fail?"

"Let's not think of the worse now, shall we?"
