We all nod our heads and agree with her.

“What exactly have you guys been doing?” I ask basically to all the women in the room, but look at Alessia because I know she’s in charge here.

She sighs and closes her eyes, “Listen, our business is not normally something we share, but since this is something that also impacts your club, I will share. Since this is something that is important to you we will let you in on some of what we are doing.” She sighs again and looks at all the ladies in the room. “We have apprehended Acid’s SAA. We have him locked up here and are waiting for him to wake up before we start interrogation.”

I look at her in shock and then look down at Sophie who doesn’t meet my eye, but attempts to look innocent all the same.

“How exactly did you find his SAA. We have been struggling to find anybody and Wizard is one of the best tech people around.” Terror says as he looks at Alessia and the other women.

“Well listen, you might have an expert in hacking and all that shit, but we do as well and in fact we have more than one. They are self taught, but also taught by some of the best ghosts out there. Very good at making things and people disappear. No doubt your man is good, but my women are better. We have also trained your woman here to know all that they do. She went through a fast crash course, but she is such a fast learner. So maybe she can help your Wizard or whatever. My ladies have purposefully made it difficult for your man to find anything on any of these men. We wanted to handle it ourselves. Mostly we wanted to help Sophie handle things with the MC. We want to bring down the mafia involved without bringing anyone else into it. My family is a high Italian mafia family, I do not appreciate families that sell in skin.

Not only was I born into a big Italian family, for a time I was married into one. My children’s father is a Don and in our families we do not sell women and children. We do not sell skin in any way, there are things done and we are families of criminals sure, but we do not traffic human beings. Women and children should not be for sale. Now some of them are traditional in the way they treat women. I cannot attack a family for having nasty men that cheat on their wives, but I can destroy a family that thinks it is okay to make profits selling any human being. It is disgusting. So we were going to keep you in the dark, but since you are here and this MC has hurt your family, we will let you in on that half of the fun. But the Baranov family, they are ours. I know how to handle these families and my girls, they know how to handle these types of situations.”

I look at Sophie in awe of the fact that they have taught her all the computer hacking shit in the small amount of time that they’ve known here. “What else have you learned baby?” I ask her because I know there is more. The woman is in far better shape than you would expect after having twins and being through everything she has been through. I mean yes she’s always snapped back after babies, but she was in a coma and laid up. I should’ve known that more was going on than her normal workout when she was supposed to be rehabbing. “You obviously haven’t been taking it easy like you were supposed to with your rehab.”

She looks at me with an innocent expression and I shake my head at her, “Nope, not going to work baby. You better fess up. What else did you learn?”

Alessia chuckles at what she is seeing, “Let’s just say she is a quick learner and I would love to be able to train her more so she could become my next Siren. She was already skilled in some of the combat training, I’d assume she learned that being around her billions of brothers. She was already skilled with guns, again thanks to her brothers I assume. We gave her some skills with a knife and basically just helped her improve or refresh skills she already had. She's pretty badass. I think you guys highly underestimate her. A lot of the physical aspects of the training she couldn’t do because she was pregnant. She has been stepping up the physical stuff while she is supposed to be rehabbing. I would gladly let her lead up my Sirens here.”

I look at Alessia and shake my head, I don’t think that will be happening unless she stays here in this fortress and not out there interacting with anyone. Alessia must notice the look on my face because she begins to laugh, “Yeah, she knew you would never let her out on the field. It takes a lot to be a trained assassin. I’ll just be talking to her before I leave to see if she is willing to help with operations here. I don’t feel like stepping on Moretti territory often. Leading this facility doesn’t necessarily mean she heads out on any missions. I haven’t really been out in years. You can help and do research from here. Our systems are much more secure than I would assume your system at home is or even on the compound. It would probably help your Wizard as well.”

Sophie laughs with Alessia and looks at me, “We can discuss it. I do have another business and things I am passionate about. Toby and I will have to talk about what this would mean. I personally love feeling empowered and love that you guys have such faith in me.”

“Okay, so as much as I love this, can we get on to what we were doing? Like I want to get this fucker to talk and we can’t do that just sitting here chatting like this. I mean don’t get me wrong, you are all wonderful looking men, but none of you are available so I can’t have fun with you.” Anchor says with a little evil smile.

“Wait a second, how do you know we are all taken?” Terror asks.

“Oh I know lots of things, Mr. Prez. Don’t you worry your pretty little head about that. All your secrets are safe with me. Although some of you are real big idiots. But I’ll leave it at that. So, boss lady can we head in there and see if sleeping beauty is awake? I want a crack at him. I know you had a different plan, but I want to take a whack at him.”

“Well, do you think that your technique is what we need in this situation? Maybe you can head in with one of the boys here?” Alessia asks as she nods her head over at the brothers.

She huffs and looks over at the brothers, “Alright, I take the angry looking one. Come on big guy, let's see what you can do.” She walks over to Thorn and starts pulling him along with her and he almost looks helpless..

“There is a viewing room this way, we can watch from there.” Nyx says as she leads us to where we need to go.

We come to a room with a viewing window and monitors, we look into the viewing window and Anchor and Thorn walk in and Anchor has a bucket with what looks like water. Not to anyone’s surprise in this room she tosses the bucket at the sleeping asshole in the chair and he startles awake.

“Oh good, you’re awake. How are you feeling sunshine?”

The man in the chair begins pulling on the ties and snarls at her, “What the fuck do you think you are doing, bitch? I will fucking kill you! My club will kill you!”

“Alright Sleeping Beauty, you better watch how you talk to this one right here. Have you ever heard of the Sirens?” Thorn asks as he takes a seat in the chair opposite the dumb ass. The stupid idiot looks from Thorn to Anchor wide eyed. “I’ll take that as a yes. Well you’ve got one right here and about six more behind that window there. They made a special appearance just for you and your stupid fucking MC. This one here is fucking crazy, so I think you should be a good little boy and tell her everything we want to know. SOOOOO maybe she will give you a nice painless send off instead of a long drawn out one.”

“Awwww Thorn, you do care about me, I thought you didn’t like me, you know with all that brooding you were doing back there when I asked you to come party in here with me. But yeah Darrel boy, what he said. You see you might be called Snip for who knows what the reason. I mean is there ever really a good reason to call someone Snip? Like do you go around threatening people with scissors yelling ‘Snip Snip’? I don’t understand you bikers and your road names. Thorn is probably just a thorn in everyone’s side. You could probably smile a little once in a while and you’d get a much nicer name.” Everyone around me chuckles and goodness, I don’t know what kind of interrogation technique this is, but this bitch just sounds nuts. “But I digress. I mean I’m sure it won’t be the reason they call you Snip when I am done with you. I mean I have all my fun little tools over there by the door. I could you know snip snip your favorite toy. So are you going to work with me? Tell me what is Acid’s loyalty worth? I could make it painless for you or I could keep you as my fun little toy until you give me everything I want. Let’s be real, you will give me everything I want, it is just a matter of how.”

This guy looks like he is going to piss himself, how in the hell did this guy become the SAA of any club. I guess Acid has some low fucking standards. We all know that the possibility of being taken by other clubs or any enemies is something that can happen, but we all have a loyalty to our club because it is our family and no matter what anyone does to us we would never turn on our family. Plus we know that our families will be taken care of by the club if something happens to us.

“Look, If I tell you what you want, you'll just end me after, right? I do want help before you do me in and hopefully if I give you the information you want you will help me in the way I need you to. You guys have a lot of power, you’re all from prominent mafia families, your leader is a mafia princess, those are things that are well known about the Sirens. So I know that you have the ability to help me get my family. Acid is an asshole and doesn’t care about anyone, but himself. Honestly, he is probably going to drop all the other guys too if he gets what he wants. I was only in his club because he had my family. Still does. So if I can ask you guys to find them for me then really you don’t have to do anything to get me to tell you anything. I need my family to be taken care of and away from that asshole maniac. I will tell you all you want to know and all that I know.”

I see Alessia move towards the box by the window and let me tell you the set up they have here is amazing. “You have a deal Mr. Travis. We will find your family for you and you will tell us everything that you know about at this moment. We will keep you around until your family is safe and secure in case we need more from you during that time.”

“What do you want to know?” Snip Snip asks Anchor and Thorn.

“Well first we want to know where everyone else is? If you can tell us that, that would be the most helpful and would give my big friend here everything he needs to know. Then we can decide the outcome based on what you are willing to give us about the operation they have going on with the Baranov family.” Anchor asks.

“I have not been given information about where Acid and our VP are hiding out. They are with his sister somewhere. I don’t know, honestly, he keeps a lid on all of that. He also has like a billion fucking bastard children. His wife may not have given him a boy, but he made sure to get some boys out of clubwhores, strippers and hookers. Listen, I had a phone on me, it is where I had to check in with him regularly to make sure that I was alive and everything was going fine. I’m sure you can work your magic on that and get more out of that than me. After his dumb ass daughter kidnapped that club princess, we all went further into hiding. Obviously I did not do a good job. Maybe I just wanted all this to be over. The guy has done a lot of fucked up shit that I do not want to be apart of it. I was done when he took that ol’ lady and those two kids. I wanted out after what he did to that poor woman. Then the thought of what he wanted to have done to those two children, it was fucked up. If I had not been blackmailed into staying, I would’ve left a long time ago. But my family was being held from me.” He looks over at Thorn, “I am sorry that that happened to your first lady. That should never happen to any woman.”

Thorn turns his head away, he clears his throat and looks back at the man sitting in front of him, “Were you there? Were you one of the men that raped my mother and watched as he killed her?”
