Ugo remained still with his back at Lu and Jordan. His hands were crossed together yo front of him as he shook his legs, using it to keep himself busy before they might choose to reply.
“Alright,” Lu said as he walked to Alita and covered her on the bed with the duvet “Is Raul around?”
“Today is his off sir” Ugo replied “And he had gone to see his family”
Lu mentally scold himself as he walked into his closet and came out with a robe. He couldn’t stand Jordan still staring at his dick like it was some kind of center of attraction. He clenched his fist as he kept battling in his mind, he had to forget about his men’s off days because he was drunk!!
He walked back to his previous position to see Ugo and Jordan arguing over what he doesn’t know, seeing it would be a waste of time to watch them he cleared his throat awkwardly, put his hands in the pocket of his robe then glared at them.
“I have to do something real fast,” He said to Ugo as he gave him back his phone he collected from Jordan “Are your men ready?”
Ugo went confused, he couldn’t understand why Lu had classified the men as his. He moved his shoulders making pop sounds as he insert both hands in his pocket.
“The men are ready” he finally said.
“It did take you like forever to answer but I will ignore the rudeness,” Lu said “Go ahead with them, I will join you in an hour”
Lu studied Jordan’s disturbing face them traced his eyes to his folded palm in front of him, he looked up at the boy’s face and noticed the boy was desperately trying to tell him something but he could not say it. He became puzzled as Jordan looked at Ugo’s palm that we’re folded in front of his zipper area and he shook his head in disapproval.
‘Perv!’ He thought ‘Are you ready trying to make me check out his dick?’
The expression on Lu’s face could tell he wasn’t buying what Jordan wants to tell him, so he did what he should have done.
“Remember to wait for my straight order,” he said “You can leave”
Ugo’s face was mute at first, he kept staring at Lu’s face then Jordan who had a strange reaction on his face. He bowed slightly and turned to go but stopped before reaching the door.
“You plan to keep Zeno waiting?” Ugo blurted out before he could think about the punishment of his actions, His voice sounded a bit rude and he bite his lower lips “I mean ” he cleared his throat “Zeno and the other of the – your family members will be kept waiting” his hands went behind him and he bowed his head, it remained like his neck could no longer hold them.
Lu’s brows connected, he walked to Ugo and touched his chest, his finger traced slowly till he got to his jaw and he raised it up with his index finger. He stared straight into his eyes and a sudden sly grin appeared on his face.
“Do I need to remind you who you work for?” Lu’s tone sounded harsh. He stared at Ugo’s eyes for a long time then extended his arm to him “You mean a lot to me, I don’t want to kill you” he growled.
Ugo stood confused for a while, he remain still with his hands behind him as he kept looking at Lu’s hand as if there was something on it. His cold gaze went up to Lu’s face before he brought out his hand for the handshake. He flinched a bit as Lu hid his hand tightly, he tried to pull out but the grip was tight and Lu’s face was telling a different story.
His jaw moved as he gnashed his teeth thinking of the next choice of words so he won’t have to say what would implicate him.
“Sir” Ugo said in a harsh whisper “Time”
“I have my eyes on each one of you,” Lu said dryly as he pulled his hand off, making sure to do it aggressively and stepped aside “Learn how you talk back to me next time”
Ugo gave shaky hard breathe, he stared at Lu with mixed emotions not knowing what to say, His fists clenched, and remained on his stand. His eyes followed Lu’s eyes to his clenched fists and he hid them behind him Immediately behind him.
“I am sorry sir” he bowed and turned to go “I will beep you as soon as we reach ” he left.
In anger Lu kept staring at the door, both of his hands were clenched and he wondered what had given Ugo such ego to overlook him. Gradually, he turned back to see Jordan smiling at him.
“Quit fussing sir” Jordan smiled with his eyes closed “What?” He opened his eyes and stared at Lu’s angry face “Your hand”
He pointed at Lu’s right palm then smile.
“What’s this?” Lu asked in surprise as he stared at his right palm, luckily he still had his white bandage or he wouldn’t have noticed the strange color “This?” He smelt his hand.
“Is makeup” Jordan completed “Accordingly to my knowledge in women, it’s used to cover shades of -”
“CAN YOU PLEASE FOCUS FOR ONCE” Lu yelled “Let me think!”
Silent devoured them as Lu kept staring at his hands in awe, it’s been about a minute and Lu was still staring at the white bandage.
“Alright” Jordan rolled his eyes “The snitch with the tattoo is Ugo” he blurted out.
Lu didn’t seem so shocked, he moved close to Jordan and put his wounded palm on his shoulder. His eyes bore into Jordan’s calm ones and he shook him violently.
“Are you sure or do you think so too!” Lu asked.
“100% positive,” Jordan said, he brought out his phone from his pocket and played a video for Lu, “I told you that I will get to the bottom of this”
“He was here yesterday?” Lu sound worried as he looked up the phone to the young boy’s face “He came here yesterday?”
“Yep,” Jordan said popping the ‘P’ he took his phone from Lu and played another video for him “He is the same person that showed Rocco the video footage of you and Alita doing the…. uh mmm…” He trails off.
“Yeah I know” Lu moved away from him “He must have gone far” he soliloquizes “I had always thought about him as the prime suspect but I still couldn’t get to see his tattoo”
“He covers that with makeup,” Jordan said.
Another troubling silence descend as they both kept staring at themselves. To Lu, he was thinking how he had been too blind lately to have the snitch in front of him every time and still could not figure it out.
“And what did he come here to do yesterday,” Lu asked.
“I have no idea,” Jordan said in defeat “I called you immediately I saw him but you did not pick up, not long after, I saw you enter your room from the camera outside your room and didn’t see him out after then. It should be that he entered and came out immediately”
Relief spread through Lu as he walked away, his head spinning as he staggered and held his face.
“Go to Luca and bring him out,” He said as he sat on one of the couches “Make sure he feeds and keep the other alert for any of my calls”
He held his head in both hands and groaned, the headache keep becoming loud and irritating. He sigh as he began to wonder how he would cope to be alive today. Alita was still down, his head threatening to fall off, His relatives would be around, his half-brother just returned from Ukraine and Ugo is the traitor that had been around all this while.
The shocking part is that the traitor is related to him and he never noticed all this while. He should have thought about the familiar face or why Ugo never accept to shake people.
His heart skipped a beat and nearly exploded, he couldn’t just put together that he had been with one of his relatives and had no idea, the problem is whose son is him. He held his head tighter and groaned in anger and frustration.
“I can help with the hangover” Jordan played with his fingers “I have been reading my course online and I am sure I can help Luca, bring something for your hangover and Alita that is already fine”
Lu stared at him in anger, he stood up and rushed to him but slow his pace as his head pound more.
“Goddam headache!” He cussed as he held his face.
“Ugo didn’t see much of her and I swear I didn’t press her soft breast” Jordan raised his hands in surrender “She just needs some rest and it looks like she was sexually assaulted” he cringed as he said the last word, he noticed the anger on Lu’s face then gave a toothy grin “Or she might have slipped and fallen” he suggested.
“Go get me something for the Hangover first,” Lu said as he walked to his bed.
To Jordan’s surprise, he carried her and stayed in the bathroom.
“I would love to bath her if you don’t -”
Jordan swallowed as Lu glared at him “I will be right back” he rushed out.
