Hired

Chapter 14

Carlos

"Hanno rapito Antonio davanti ai nostri occhi, questo significa guerra, io dico di dare loro guerra e finirla una volta per tutte." Miles, My friend and second in command said, which made me more pissed,

{They Kidnapped Antonio before our eyes, this means war, I say we give them war and end it once and for all}

I've been sitting in this damn room with my men for almost an hour and still hadn't gotten any led to dear my cousin who was abducted a few days ago,

"Lei ha parlato di una ragazza."

[You mentioned something about a girl]

"Sì, il suo nome è Maria, il barista accennato ultima fu notata con lui, ma le telecamere nel club Visualizza niente del genere, non c'è nemmeno un singolo segno della ragazza."

[Yes, her name is Maria, the bartender mentioned she was last seen with him, but the cameras in the club show nothing of the sort, not even a single sign of the girl]

"Esso è stato volutamente cancellato." One of my trusted men, Luiz said.

[It was intentionally erased]

As they began arguing further amongst themselves,

I turned my chair around backing them completely, drifting off in my own thoughts, about anything but the current situation at hand,

I thought of Eva,

The first time I saw her, I was scooping around the area in search of Antonio, after I had gotten a call from one of my men saying he had been abducted, by Gabriel's men.

Gabriel is my uncle and archenemy to the family,

As her trembling petite body bumped into my chest, she looked up and a small gasp escaped her mouth, I had felt the first instinct to push her away, assuming she was one of those promiscuous girls on the streets of Milan,

That was until I saw the throbbing fear in her and I suddenly had the need to protect her, "Stai been?" I whispered and she stared at me puzzled, "Non parli?" I snapped,

"Please, help me.." she choked out and I looked over shoulders to some hooded men rasping after.

I managed to scare them off and when I turned back to her she had already fainted.

Women.

Groaning, I swooped her fragile body onto my arms and carried her towards the car, I placed her gently on the back seat, before calling Miles to finish up the search without me,

I decided to take her to my hotel, still carrying her in my arms I made it past the empty lobby and towards the elevator that lead into to my suite.

I placed her on the bed and she adjusts herself cutely  on it, I then watched her for a while, before reaching out and removing the sticky hair off her forehead,

She was beautiful,

A kind of understated beauty, perhaps it was because she was so disarmingly unaware of her prettiness.

I smiled pulling the covers over her, that's when she
began rambling and struggling in her sleep,

"Please, stop.." She struggled, her breathing becoming more rapid and shallow.

I quickly pulled off the covers and began stripping off her tight clothes and with every exposed skin was a healed scar, scars that only read pain and suffering,

"Who did this to her?"The thought of it made a surge of anger pass through me, the thought that someone laid a finger on her,

"Please..." She rambled more and I quickly removed my shirt and wore it on her, with that she rambled a few strange words I couldn't understand and turned over to her back falling asleep again.

I spent day and night restlessly looking for her after she left that morning, it's quite difficult  finding any information on someone you nothing about, not even a last name.

Then,

I saw her that night at venus a known dwelling place for haluts and whores. She was dancing on the pole seductively, clearly naive and clueless as to what she was doing or where she had found herself,

Russo, the dangerous gang leader must have had her on lockdown,

It was when the men began asking her for favors and asking to buy her, that I suddenly felt the need the urge to take her away from them-

"Don?" Miles called tearing me out of my thoughts, I turned around to them once again, "Che cosa avete deciso? Ci sta per essere guerra o no?"

{What have you decided? Is there going to be war or not?}

I clenched, "Non più guerre, guerre risolvere nulla." The last time there was a war, lives were lost, but women and children.

{No more wars, wars solve nothing}

I wouldn't have that anymore, "Così, che cosa hai in mente?"

[So, what do you have in mind?]

"Vi aspettiamo.." I said and Miles scoffed shockingly,

{We wait}

"Questi uomini rapito uno dei nostri e umiliano noi e tutto quello che volete fare è aspettare, potrebbero essere là fuori pianificando un attacco su di noi in questo momento.."He yelled,

{These men abducted one of our own and humiliated us and all you want to do is wait, for all we know they could be planning an attack on us right now}

Usually, I would have taken offense to this behavior, but Miles is almost like a brother to me, I somehow couldn't lose my temper as quickly as I could with others.

"Ho preso la mia decisione, vi aspettiamo e non di più su questo soggetto." I uttered authoritatively and there were immediate nods around the room, and a 'yes Don' coming from the men.

[I've made my decision, we wait and no more on this subject]

"Bene, ora che siamo giunti ad un accordo, c'è un'altra questione che richiede urgente attenzione."

[Good, Now that we have come to an understanding, there's another matter that needs urgent attention]

"Che cosa importa?" One of the men asked,

{What matter?}

"Recentemente ho impiegato un nuovo lavoratore, il suo nome è Eva Green, ho bisogno ogni informazione che è a lei." I said and the men nodded, except Miles.

{I have recently employed a new worker, her name is Eva Green, I need every information that is to her}

"Può lasciarci.." I uttered and the rest of the men hurried out without hesitation, The door slams shut and Miles snaps quickly to me,

{You may leave us}

"Hai assunto una signora inglese? Chi è?" He moves curiously, towards my desk,

[You hired an English lady? Who's she?]

"That's what I need to find out?"

After my meeting I made it back home, but there was no sign of her, I called and gathered all the men I ordered to look after her,

"Je vous jure Don, nul comme dans et hors de ce lieux puisque vous l'avez laissé. »

[I swear Don, no one as been in and out of this premises since you left]

"Where the fuck is she-" then it hit me.

Fuck! I cursed and stormed down towards the gun cellar and there she was, "I won't do that if I were you." I uttered, rushing and taking the Ak 47 off her hands, before she could shoot herself with it,

"You shouldn't be down here? You could have hurt yourself." I tell her placing the gun back, but the next words that escaped out of her lips, shocked the both of us.

"Teach me how to use a gun."
