Noa asked but she was beyond speaking, her teeth chattered and she was crying so hard from the pain she just wanted to die. He staggered the truck into the hospital grounds pulling up at the main entrance and Uri scooped her up running straight into A& E. They all knew the two Agents and Nurses Doctors came running to help,‘She’s going into shock, too much exercise and no food, muscles cramped then went into spasm about fifteen minutes ago, vomited twice, nothing but bile’He placed her on the gurney and the pain was so intense she screamed ‘It hurts, please it hurts’They acted quickly holding her down they injected a muscle relaxant and then added a cannula pushing fluids into her, delirious with the pain she fought them. A second relaxant was added and her muscles finally stopped cramping allowing her to fall into a deep healing sleep. They passed a tube into her stomach and started a protein-rich feed to settle her and give her the needed nutrients. Slowly throughout the night

She stood up and towered over the frail old woman,‘You do not have a choice. You will tell me everything you know either the nice way or the nasty way. It is up to you!’She sat back down on the stool and smiled, it was pure evil, never touching her eyes,‘I am telling you nothing you little upstart bitch. Nothing’Annabella spat angrily pleased she had one over the girl but she was very mistaken. Alcina stood up again and sighed,‘Very well, we do it the hard way’ Moving quickly she grabbed the old lady's arm and injected the truth serum, [A new, highly secret hybrid of Sodium Thiopental] she had brought with her into it in one swift movement. Annabella screamed and pulled away from her,‘Oh, don’t worry Aunt, it’s just a little incentive to do as you are told.’The old woman felt it burning through her bloodstream and whimpered suddenly deadly afraid,‘It hurts, what the fuck

Beresford moved to her side protectively but she said nothing just stared at the Police Officer he said quietly looking at his notes,‘The Coroner has not determined the exact time of death as yet but the Officers attending the scene think maybe it was about a week ago. Now Miss, I’m sorry but I have to ask this, when did you last see your Aunt?’He asked solicitously patting her arm reassuringly and she looked up at him again her big blue eyes were clear and guileless,‘I called in briefly when I returned to this country from my trip to Israel about ten days ago.’She said quietly looking for all the world like the dutiful niece and Beresford confirmed her words,‘I can confirm that Officer as I picked Lady Alcina up from the airport and drove her to her Aunts. We were there for under an hour and then we returned to the Castle and we have been here ever since. Is there a problem with Annabella’s death?’He asked raising an eyebrow, the Officer shook his head,‘I’m sorry who are you,

They were right the other Dons were very wary of her, after all, she was a petite, stunningly beautiful young woman, not a big tough Mafia Don so they instantly dismissed her and her ideas as futile. The Mafia was a patriarchal association, women knew their place, pretty ornaments on the arms of the Dons, and then wives and Mothers. They had no place as Leaders, and there was no way they could be allowed to declare a Mafia war. Alcina knew she had to prove herself and it was sheer luck that she stumbled across two of Giovanni’s men on her way to the meeting she had called. They were in a shop and she recognised them from those who had been in that room when her Father was murdered. Alcina never forgot a face her photographic memory stored every person she had ever met in her head, when she came across people a second time the memor

They ganged up on her, Beresford telling her in no uncertain terms that if she insisted on facing the Mafia Don, he would insist she take them as her bodyguards. It was Beresford who contacted them again so she could take them up on their offer, albeit almost a year after it was made.Knocking back his whiskey Don Mario stood to leave, his Guards standing quickly behind him,‘Quindi Alcina ti aspetto domani sera alla mia festa di anniversario, lanciamo i nostri dadi e vediamo dove atterra’ [So Alcina I will expect you tomorrow night at my anniversary party, let us throw our dice and see where it lands]He kissed both her cheeks and left with his men and Alcina sank back into her chair, her hardest battle was won, the other Families would now follow her, and Mario would see to that. She frowned, he had just invited her to his huge Anniversary Ball, he had been married for twenty-five years which was something of a miracle for the Mafia.
