“Alright ma’am thanks for providing us this information. We would look into it and find out if it's the truth. If it is so, I promise you, we would bring the offenders to justice. We are yet to get a formal complaint from the man in the picture, but our men will investigate right away and confirm from him.Please note that we would not be able to carry out further investigations if the Victim refuses to make a report, as long as he doesn’t file charges, we won't be able to do anything. But if he does, I assure you that the culprit would be brought to face the law, they would be brought to justice.” The police detective replied to Anna.She had just reported the incident to the police as an eye witness, not minding the implications of her actions and how badly it could affect her. Right now she was really angry and it didn’t matter to her if she was putting her life at risk. Although she had threaded carefully by not mentioning the Mafia in her statement, it was better the police found
Marco Vincenzo and his team arrived in front of the house; they pulled up and took positions outside. He signaled four men to stand watch for the suspect while he proceeded to the front door with two men.** * * * * * * * * * *Captain Marco had seen the report that Anna made on the day of his arrival and he decided to take it as his first case. He intended to wipe out crime and corruption in the city, starting from the smallest units.From petty thefts, fist and knife attacks to high profile killers and fraudsters. He was going to stop at nothing to bring all the bad men down. The captain was a citizen of the country and state as well, he was from that very province- the Sicilian region.After hearing all the bad reports about the crime rate in his hometown, he had begged his superiors to let him come down here and thoroughly wipe out crime in this city. He hoped that the cops in the city were capable because if they were not, he would have to request a new team from the higher autho
Elena stands up as she hears footsteps climbing down the stairs, she is glad that someone has finally decided to come and check on her. The poor girl had been screaming ever since the previous night that she was roughly dragged and locked in the small cell.It seemed like no one was paying attention to her, she had been here for roughly twenty hours; at least she was able to keep time with the help of the watch on her wrist before she was brutally locked away.She had not had any food or water and she was obviously starving. Maybe it would have been better if she had no count of time; watching the clock go round over and over was really stressful, she had to sleep a couple of times.The man got to her and opened the cell door, she had this urge to rush out immediately but sighting the gun in the guard’s hand, he chose to play cool and wait for instructions. Maybe that was what she needed to get out of here, just do as you are told.“Come on, the boss wants you to meet him in the dinin
Elena ran all the way to her bedroom and shut the door the moment she was in. She wasn’t running from anyone in particular, she had run off from the dining room after Leonardo misbehaved with her- at least, that is the way she saw it.She jumped on the bed and buried her face in the pillow while shedding tears like an infant. It had just dawned on her that her life was ruined; yes, practically it was!First, he was a prisoner to this crazy Mafia lord who had made her do horrible things in the name of grooming her, and now she was a fugitive in the outside world, a wanted criminal. Her life might not have been entirely in a mess before but now it was pretty fucked up.Even if she was able to make it out of here alive, she was a wanted criminal out there, they will put her in a cage at first sight and probably lock her up for the rest of her life. Now, she had to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea, that is if she was opportune to choose.Elena jolted up at the sound of a kno
Captain Marco walks towards the Detective’s office with files in hand, a confused expression on his face. He looks puzzled with the files in his hand, like there was something in it that he didn’t understand. The new Captain arrived at the Detective’s table and dropped the files there.“Sir, is there a problem? You look disturbed.” The white beard Detective queried.“I was disturbed from the day I learnt of what my beloved city had turned into, but today I am confused with these crime files.” Captain Marco uttered and folded his arms.“What do you mean, Sir?” the detective queried. He probably had no idea what the Captain was talking about.“Why don’t you take a look at those files by yourself? Those crimes were committed by suspects who are clearly known and stated there. So if you know or have a suspect for the crime, why have you not brought them in for trial? There is no record of arrest for ninety-six percent of the crimes, why is that?” he queried.The detective sighed and flipp
Elena arrives at the door and takes a deep breath before knocking. She was standing in front of Leonardo’s door, hoping that things didn't end the way it did the last time that she was here.“You can come in, Miss Elena…” she heard him utter from the inside. Of course, he always knows when it is her at the door, and that was still a mystery to her.She pushed the door open and walked in, secretly wishing that he was as bare-chested as the last time. Well, his body was really attractive, the muscles and the abs, they could make a lady droll and get wet down there. Wait, why was she thinking of that? What was wrong with her?However, to her disappointment, he was fully dressed in a long black robe; it was plain black and touched his toes; she didn’t need a seer to tell her that black was his favorite color.“You sent for me,” she muttered. She was yet to see his face as he had his back to her, he was searching through a wardrobe.“Yes, Miss Elena.” He replied softly with that usual sole
Chapter 25 Elena stands in front of the mirror but she is unable to see herself, the person she was seeing in that mirror was an entirely different person. Well, she was dressed up like Leo today. The young lady had put on black all through, starting from the satin body hugging top to the distressed Jean pants, and a satin black open robe on top of it all. Now, she looked more like a gangster, maybe Leo was finally getting to her. She thought of changing the attire but it had taken her hours to get ready, if she chose new clothes, then she would have to go back and redo her makeup. She had sat down for one long hour, painting her face; how could all of that be a waste? The black on her lower and upper lips were fit for the outfit, it gave her this intimidating look and she could feel it. maybe your appearance really does define your personality, she could feel this aura around her especially when she held the gun in the mirror; bad girl vibes oozing from her being; did she like thi
Elena seats on the floor, just beside the bed. She hugged her legs with her eyelids barely moving. She was still traumatized by what she had just witnessed- a murder!! Was that necessary?What was the need of the whole talk if they were going to kill him anyway? Why did they take her along and make her witness such barbaric act? Such coldblooded murder!! How could a human easily take another person’s life without remorse- that was the highest level of heartlessness she had seen in her life?The sound of the gunshot and the scenario of him dropping to him fall continued to replay in her head; it was tormenting her, repeatedly as if she had fired the bullet. At this point, tears were trickling down her eyes… she felt guilty and scared.She realizes that she cannot be who he wants her to be, she cannot do such a dirty job, not even at the cost of her life… she realized that she needed to get out of here, this place wasn’t safe for her, not physically or mentally, she needed to get away f
