I shake my head, its political bullshit. I know what I need to know and that’s enough for me, the ins and outs of how the Mafia handle their family is something I want no part in. I do my business and if that leads me to come in contact with anyone, I’ll find shit out then. “So? It’s true? Lisa married Dante?”
He nods. “I didn’t know Lisa as Barney’s sister, I only knew her as Lisa Russo. The daughter of Orlando Russo.”
This shit gets weirder by the second. “If that’s the case, why didn’t Barney go and be a solider for Orlando?”
Dad gives me a smile. “Because of you, Son. You’re the reason he joined my ranks. He was in awe of you. You were what he aspired to be. He told me that if he could emulate even a fifth of you, he’d be a happy man. I think he was just sick of being a nobody, when his sister was a Principessa. He believed that joining me would help him. He made friends and became a man that was well respected.”
“He’s dead, Dad. He lied to me too many times,” I tell him matter-of-factly. I will not be made feel guilty for killing him. He lied time and time again to me. It was only a matter of time before those lies caught up to him.
Dad nods. “I know Son, you did the right thing. Everyone knows that.”
“I find it weird that there was no one in the basement when we found Mia. Not only that, the basement door was open and the shackles were off Mia but not Lacey. Mia could have ran, she had the chance.”
“Are you saying you think Mia stayed there by choice?” He looks disgusted at the thought.
“I know she did, Dad and it wasn’t anything like you’re thinking. She stayed with Lacey.” She stayed with her friend, the woman she considers her sister.
Dad frowns. “Okay, so what do you find weird then?”
I roll my eyes. “No one was there. It was like they knew we were coming.”
Realization hits him. “How many people knew you were going to be there?”
“Six of us. That’s all. Matt, Lucas, Tyler, Martin, Jagger, and myself.”
“You’ve narrowed it down. One of those five is the man that is betraying you,” Dad tells me something I already had figured out.
“And I’m going to find out who and when I do…”
The door behind me opens and I turn and see Dr Erika walking out, her face blank. I can’t decipher if she has good or bad news. “Mr Brady, may I have a word in private?” she asks softly and I fear the worse already.
“I’ll step outside,” Dad says, but I shake my head and he stays standing where he is.
“Its okay, Doc, this is my dad.”
She nods once and takes a deep breath. “Mr Brady, Mia has a lot of bruising, mainly to her face. She has a contusion on her head, we’re monitoring it, it’s no longer bleeding and has been stitched but the blow has broken her eye socket. She’s got a broken nose, but all those will heal in time. She doesn’t appear to have any serious injuries. Right now her body is healing, that’s why she’s unconscious. She’ll wake once she’s ready.”
“But?” I can hear it in her voice, something else is wrong.
She shifts from side to side, her eyes glancing from me to my father.
“Tell me,” I say through clenched teeth.
“Mr Brady, Mia has been sexually assaulted.”
“Who?”
She frowns. “Excuse me?”
“Who raped her?” I spit out, whoever did it is going to hurt. I’m going to ruin them. They’re going to wish they had never heard of Hudson Brady by the time I’m finished with them.
She splutters. “Mr Brady, I’m sorry but I have no way of knowing that. I’ve taken a rape kit….”
“Give it to me,” I demand, holding out my hand.
Her eyes widen. “Mr Brady, that kit has to go to the police. If you give it to them, they will find the person responsible for this.”
“Doc, I know that you think that’s the best thing to do. But let me tell you this. When I find out who did this, I’m going to make sure they never do it to anyone else. I’m going to make them hurt so bad, they’ll be b
