CHAPTERONE
luca
Isit back in my chair as my men walk into my dining room. Grayson and Frankie, two of my best, take the seats on either side of me.
“Boss.” Grayson’s blue eyes meet mine.
He tugs on his collar before reaching over for the bottle of scotch in front of us. Pouring his own before hovering over my now empty glass.
“Refill?”
“Please.”
When the last guy, Enzo, who runs our security services, closes the door, I clear my throat, all eyes now on me.
Their leader.
The top tier of my organization take their seats, the further twenty surrounding the table stand to attention. There has been word amongst the group that there is unease since my foster brother, Keller’s, departure.
Our masked hitman, our main asset. The man who put the fear of God into our enemies.
This was never the life he wanted, but the one we were forced into. I gave him his freedom; it’s not something I will ever have. I had to let him go, to finally have the family he deserved with Sienna.
I stand and clap Grayson and Frankie on the shoulders.
“Marco’s kidnapping of Nico is an act of war. As such, we will respond in that way. Every single one of us will not sleep until he is home. We will bring him back to his wife. We hold no prisoners. Any Falcone fucker who crosses our path will die. This city is ours, and no Falcone can take that from us.”
The men cheer. “How are we taking Marco out, boss?”
“We keep breaking him down. Every shipment, every warehouse, every man who steps into our territory, we kill. He might have numbers, but there is no power behind them. Not like us. Right now, nothing comes in or goes out of New York without my say so. We have the commissioner in our corner, so we fight.”
I knock back the rest of my scotch, the empty glass bangs back down on my oak dining table. I nod to Enzo. “Any more intel on Marco?”
He runs a hand through his jet-black hair. “I’m digging into his past family dealings. I think if there’s anything to find, I’ll have it soon for you, boss.”
If anyone can find it, it’s Enzo. There isn’t anything he can’t tap into.
I raise my voice so my words are crystal clear. “We take Marco when the time is right; we fold them, we break them.”
The room goes silent. After Keller’s rampage over the Falcone’s, torturing and killing fifteen of his men, they hit back, stealing our cocaine shipments, burning our warehouses, and now, taking Nico.
I ball my fists.
“Vince, Ramos, I want you keeping tabs on Carlos at all times. Oversee every single fucking shipment. I’m not losing anymore. If I’m missing a single gram, you’re paying the consequences.”
Ramos gulps. “Got it, boss.”
“In the meantime, Grayson and Frankie will be leading the takedown operations. Every building they own will be burned to the ground. You listen to their orders. Enzo will be working the security to keep finding their warehouses, their hideouts, and feeding it through.”
Grayson rubs his hands together. He loves an explosion.
“Now are you ready to hunt?” I throw my arms up victoriously.
The room erupts into cheers and grunts of my men.
“Fuck yes.” Grayson looks up at me with a devilish grin.
