The day Luciano had always waited for had arrived, finally, Alita would be in his strong arms again. Maybe this time he would make sure to amend his mistakes.
As been planned, The men took the cars they won’t easily get detected with. It happened that they had gone to Calabria the previous night so they would meet up with the plan they had agreed on.
Unlike before when Raul would be left to nurse the people home, Luciano asked him to come along. That alone was a different start for him and his mem especially when he also had to carry two other real bodies which are his brother and Jordan.
The ride to Rocco’s resident almost felt like a condolence visit, No one was smiling, but even Davidson loves to smile all the time. He refused to take his earbuds off his ears as he was scared of what Lu might ask him. Mere looking at his face, it’s obvious that he didn’t want to go but wanted to go so he would prove himself worthy to be his brother’s keeper and no longer a coward as he had always been.
For Luciano, it’s more like a do-or-die thing. All he wants is to first get to hold Alita before thinking about how to slice Rocco’s throat and make him suffer for eternity. The memories of the way Alita is been mishandled in the video became suddenly fresh.
It was as if he was just watching it or it was fresh making his anger raised almost uncontrollably. Lu clenched his fists then gnashed his teeth, not to make noise but it’s enough to withdraw the way he had wanted to punch the window of the moving car.
If not that he doesn’t want to have the window of his car broken and therefore attract unnecessary attention.
“You look terrific,” Davidson said.
Slowly, Lu turned to look at him for a quick second before turning away like he didn’t hear anything. With the way he was gnashing his teeth and Jaw works, it’s obvious that he was trying to maintain more than he can handle.
“I took care of the kids as you instructed” Davidson continued trying to start a conversation to lighten the mood “Amara was so much in a feisty mood so I put her out!” He grinned.
“Tell me you are joking!” Lu said dreadfully “Davidson, just tell me you were only trying to make me talk” his voice raised.
“Actually… I was and wasn’t” Davidson shrugged “You have refused to talk anything so what do you want me to say?” he raised his palms.
“Did you put my baby out?” Was Lu’s grave response.
“Just a bit of overdose” Davidson winked his nose “they will be up in the next four to five hours” He rested on his chair and fold his arms “I gave both, you know. Gio was crying to see his sister while Amra said she now have a lot of money to but Alita back”
On the brighter side, Davidson did something good for Lu. At least his daughter is safely sleeping than calling the heck out of his phone as she would have done.
With a clueless face, he relax back on his chair and closed his eyes. All sorts of bad things entered his mind as he wonder how to kill Rocco in different ways.
No one said a word, not even Davidson. Their next stop would be Rocco’s apartment as they had planned.
Not much protocol, just get in, take Alita and get out was Lu’s perfect and harmless idea.
Just in time, immediately they are arriving, the pizza girl was already at the gate about to deliver the pizza.
“We will take it from here, Sweetheart” Davidson pointed a gun at her as he opened his free hand for her to place the Box of pizzas “Thats my good girl” he cooed.
A simple mistake was all he thought that germinated into a huge favor. It wasn’t want they had expected or what they had planned and foreseen.
Immediately Davidson touched the door, it went open as it someone from the inside opened it for them.
“Easy Lizzy!” He cooed as he walked in.
Before Lu could finish his statement, Davidson was already sneaking inside. There was this bright smile on his face that made Lu wish he was extremely close to his brother so he can at least smash his head to the door twice before moving on with the plan.
“Change of plan?” Stefan asked Lu through the Earbud they all had.
“No, move it in” Lu replied.
Although Lu heard what sounded like a low scoff but he preferred to ignore it, at least ignoring a single disrespect would not take much off his body except his ego.
Soon, they were all inside, facing the Empty space inside the compound. Their backs were all together in an attempt to watch each other’s back.
“Something is wrong here” Davidson whispered.
A low groan escaped his throat as he rolled his eyes. Lu didn’t expect his brother to be close to him, so close that he could feel the warmness of his breath and perceive what he had for breakfast.
He was about to move towards the main entrance of the house when he noticed a lesser light pointing at his chest.
“Fvck me!” Lu groaned as he looked up.
His chin dropped same as his expectations as he didn’t ex any of what he was staring at. His jaw dropped the same as his shoulders but his anger didn’t, it literally raised twice than expected.
Before he was Stefano standing with someone he knows to be his enemy. There was this smirk on his face as He raised the gun and pointed it to Lu’s forehead.
“Just as we have it, Dee” Stefano said to the man beside him “I bring to you, Luciano Alonso and his beloved Talky brother Davidson Alonso” he pointed the gun to Davidson for a quick second.
From all hidden directions, Dee’s men began to come out. Even when Lu wasn’t sure about them but the proud look on Stefano’s face could tell how happy and fulfilled he was.
They all had their guns pointed at the few of Lu’s men that were around. In return, Lu’s men aimed their guns back at their Rivals. It was certain that they were prepared for whatever that is to come.
“Tell them to drop their guns or I kill you,” Dee said dryly.
A small smirk appeared on Lu’s face as he moved a few steps forward despite the way Stefano held the gun firm and moved closer. His hands were up in the air in a playful manner as he moved his head with each step he takes.
“You are just so annoying as Rocco had said” Dee snared “I love to keep you alive for a while so don’t make me lose it ” He warned as he pulled out his gun from his pocket and aimed it at Lu’s chest.
Even with both guns pointed at him Lu, his steps didn’t stop. His bored gaze moved from Stefano to See, they both don’t look impressed as him.
“Should I be scared?” Lu asked, he rolled his eyes before putting both hands behind him including his gun “It’s Nothing new” he shrugged “Just that I didn’t expect of to be from you of all people”
He brought out his gun and aimed it at the person standing behind Stefano and Dee. The shock written all over his face alone could tell that he wasn’t prepared.
“I remember you,” Lu said “The fire hazard guy that stole my white van a year ago” his gaze narrowed fiercely “Such a small world, I hear I killed your brother” A small smirk appeared from the corner of his left chin.
“You killed our brother,” Dante said as he moved out from his hiding spot “He was the only hope our family had and you ended him just like that”
Lu went silent. It was like he was trying to remember what initially happened or he has started to regret his action. He looked at the three men ahead of him and nodded slowly, obviously, there was nothing else for him to say.
“Alright!!!” Davison yelled, “Sorry about your loss” He cringed inwardly “We just want two people and we will get our asses off your territory” he smiled as he waved his gun before running these palms together “Simply give us Alita and Rocco and we are out” his smile increased.
Stefano scoffed, he rolled his eyes before glaring at Davidson. His attention went back to Lu who was busy staring at his watch and their faces.
“Relax,” Lu said as soon as Stefano opened his mouth to say something “I am just watching how my watch would look if it’s on 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock at the same time”
Stefano’s brows connected, his eyes went wide open as he quickly raised his gun to arm at Lu.
It was like Lu was somewhere cut out from a fictional action movie when he heard loud bangs. Everything technically went silent as all he could hear were faint sounds.
