"I hear you." I nodded.

"You got Nix and me backing you every step of the way. You got Ricci and Antonio too. The rest of the guys back home have tour back too. You're not alone in this. We will get Vince and Gio back. The rest of the guys too. I promise you, Bella."

"Hey, guys!! Ricci and Ant got something!" Phoenix yelled.

Stef, Hades, and I raced back to the building and were shocked at the sight. Ricci and Antonio has found a guy.

One of Russo's men.

Alive.

"He's been shot in the abdomen, but he's alive. For now at least." Antonio said.

I crouched down at the man's level so he could see my face. His eyes widened in shock.

"You're....you're....."

"I'm a Bianchi. Who are you?"

"Gian Russo."

"You're a Russo? Why are you still out here bleeding to death?"

"I'm not an actual Russo. After so many years, if you stay loyal you can change your name to Russo. It shows how important you are to the family."

"Why leave you then?"

"I hid."

"Hid from what? What happened here? What happened to my husband?"

"I...I...can't say."

"Can't or won't?"

"Both." He admitted.

"Was he shot? Answer me that."

"Yes, three times."

I forcibly held back my tears.

"Giovani? The man with my husband?"

"Twice."

"The rest of the guys?"

"I'm not sure. Please help me."

I was conflicted. I wanted to help him, but he wasn't telling me everything.

"Help him to the car. Take him back to the safe house and patch him up." I ordered.

"Yes, ma'am."

Once back at the safe house, they patched him up and put him in one of the beds. I sat down beside him and asked him more questions. I was hoping that since we saved him, he'd tell me everything.

He didn't.

He refused to.

"We saved your life and you still refuse to say anything?!"

I was angry now. Real angry.

"I'm-"

"Don't say sorry." I growled.

The guys were standing behind me. Watching.

"I can't say anything. My boss will kill me. Just let me go."

"Phoenix,"

"Yes, ma'am?"

"You and Antonio take him out of here." I said calmly.

"Where to?"

"I don't care."

"Want us to let him go?" Antonio asked.

"I want you to put a bullet in his head."

"Wh...What?" Ricci asked, in shock.

They all were.

"Put. A. Bullet. In. His. Head."

"You want me to kill him?" Phoenix asked.

"Yes, he's already said that he won't say anything. He's useless now."

"Bella, think this through." Stefano said.

"Don't argue with me. Do it."

"As you wish." Phoenix said, with a slight bow of his head.

The man started to scream and beg. He begged for his life.

It was too late though. He ran out of chances.

"Jules, you have to think things through. You're not Vince. You don't kill people." Stefano said once Phoenix and Antonio got back.

"I never had to. I had Vince. He's my personal monster. My devil. The one who made the decisions. He's not here now. I will do whatever it takes to find him. To get him back. Rule number two."

"Rule number two?"

"God help anyone who disrespects or harms the King."
