It’s been two days since Alita’s Aduction and everyone is watching out for the slightest message or code from just like Gio said.
Lu on the other hand kept plotting and arranging his men, he seems to feel a bit better on the outside but damaged inside of him. Everything that comes to his heart is killing!
Davidson on the other hand doesn’t really help, it’s either he is making a video or condemning any of Lu’s ideas. With a fat ‘NO’ he would say all the ideas are not reasonable.
“We don’t even know where he is” Davidson interrupted Lu as he was studying a map to Rocco’s supposed hideout, “Jordan said we have two locations on sight and it’s not moving” he slapped the park of chocolate he was eating on the table.
Since Lu knew better, he gladly ignored his brother not even caring to spare a glance on his always amused face. The only thing that has been keeping him alive is the fact that he wants to confirm his identity.
“Luciano!” Davidson said quite angrily “I know Rocco!” He yelled, placing his large palm on the map, and glared at Lu “I know Rocco, he can be unreasonable at times” he added.
Lu just glared back at him with the most bored expression, He slowly stood straight then walked away. His office is a large place so he chooses to stay at the far end of the room nursing a bottle of Rum.
At first, he poured some into a cup in front of him but since he considered it too slow, he switched to drinking directly from the bottle.
“I can’t walk with you into FIRE!” Davidson walked to him, he tried to snatch the bottle but Lu was fast to move it “I can’t” he added with pleading eyes.
“I didn’t ask for your company, Davidson” Lu blurted out.
“How am I supposed to wait for your order when I can’t turn blind sights?” Davidson intoned “Are you listening to yourself at all?”
The look on his face could tell that he is more than tired. As meek as he is if you mistake the moist in his eyes for tears you are not making a mistake.
He just could not stand seeing his brother walk into danger and won’t do anything thing.
“I know Rocco,” he said calmly.
“Me too” Lu snapped, he smacked his lips and dropped the bottle “He had been my second in command for years and I know what he can do” he stared intensively into Davidson’s blue eyes.
After staring at him in a great silence, Davidson sigh deeply before moving out of a chair to seat not far from Lu.
“What will you do?” He asked.
“Send one of my girls” Lu replied instantly in an emotionless manner.
“You are kidding!” Davidson laughed dryly, he stood up and walked to Lu “He will kill her immediately!” He raised his hands then let them fall short.
His angry but yet pleading gaze homed on Lu’s face and he forced himself to smile. Slowly as if he was scared of his brother, he placed his right palm on top of Lu’s and squeezed it.
“Let’s plan this bro,” he said in his super base voice.
“You got a better idea?” Lu asked sarcastically, matching the foreign base voice.
Davidson moved back a little with a small frown on his face.
“No?!” He said unsure “And why are you talking like that?” He lifted the left corner of his lips.
“I thought you want to be my motivation?” Lu smirked, his voice in the same weird tone “That’s it” he nodded at Davidson’s sad face “You need to go stay with the kids, that’s where you belong” he gave a toothy grin.
Davidson felt offended, he quivered his lips as his jaw moved, it’s obvious he is trying not to say something.
If look could kill, Lu would have been dead by now for the way Davidson was staring at him was way more than murderous.
“Fine!” He yelled “Fucking do whatever you want to do by yourself and die” he walked to the door and stopped as Lu didn’t say anything “I am just trying to show that I care,” he said in a low tone.
Without looking back he could imagine Lu’s weird smile and that was freaking him out.
“Do you think I care?” Lu intoned.
Davidson turned back, his mouth open and his brows in different lines. He shook his head as if not believing what his brother had said.
“I don’t give a fuck about what you say you feel for me because we are nothing but strangers” Lu drank from his bottle Rum.
“No wonder they all want you dead!” Davidson fired back “They all want you dead because you are wicked, selfish, heartless, and ruthless” he paused to swallow saliva “I wish I had let you die long ago” he blurted out before he could think.
Although Lu appears shocked but he was too good to let it show. He threw the bottle to the wall and smiled as nothing happened.
“Haven’t you left me to die all this while?” He asked sadly “Since we were kids I have been the sacrificial lamb” his voice cracked.
With his head shaking like a rainbow lizard, Lu moved closer to Davidson. His steps were fast and steady, it almost look like he was going to attack his brother.
“I know father loved you more than he loves me and you have been asking Rocco to watch my back so you will come and take over the Mafia heir in case I die” Tears filled Lu’s eyes “I know that you have been then favorite son and father sends you presents every month end till he died” he let the tears drop as he looked away.
Lu was more than ashamed to let Davidson see him cry, while Davidson on the other hand could not contain his surprise.
“I stayed with him all day and do whatever he wants and yet we BARELY SEE!!!” He yelled at Davidson’s face, sending saliva all over his face and neck “I fucking did all the killings to make him happy then take me as his son too and see where it got me” he moved back with his palm on his head.
He kept staring at his arranged office as he quivered his lips, his fist clenched beside him and he yelled. Saliva spilled out of his mouth like rain falling into a mangrove forest.
“I am sorry brother,” Davidson said in a low voice “I had no idea all these were happening!” He trailed off.
“Happening!?” Lu asked, his back still facing Davidson “The good son I fucking tried to be has made my life hell!” He turned back and stared at Davidson “Go away!” He said.
Davidson didn’t move. He kept staring at Lu like he is under some sort of drug or compelled. He placed both hands behind him and decided to break the silence.
“Brother” he managed to say.
“Don’t fucking ‘brother’ me!!!” Lu cut him short “Count yourself lucky that I have not killed you,” he said sternly “My men will see you and your men out” he walked to a chair “We are not brothers. We are strangers”
He pressed the button on his table and the door open. Raul and Cage rushed into the office, both had their guns striped with leather and hung over their neck and shoulders.
“Make sure they get to their destination safely” Was Lu’s last order before he watched them walk out.
He sat in a resting position with his legs on the table, his blue stormy eyes kept staring at the ceiling. Soon his cheeks became wet as he let his tears flow.
Lu allowed tears worth twelve years to run down his cheeks and wetted this collar. His eyes were fixed like he was partially blind or has lost the ability to blink.
“Excuse me boss we have a new message” Jordan yelled as he burst into the office.
He pressed the laptop to his chest and bowed his head in seeing Lu’s face. Not that he was scared but whatsoever that had made him shed tears is surely bigger than imagined.
“Speak!” Lu ordered.
“A message from the same game address” Jordan replied immediately “we might need Gio as It might be from Alita”
