All Chapters of THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

 Nikolai's Pov The relocation happened at four in the morning.  We moved in three vehicles with no advance notice to anyone below lieutenant rank. The bunker was a facility we had maintained for six years without ever needing to use it. It sat under a commercial building on the west side of the city and had its own power supply, its own water line, and no external network connections. Rem coordinated the move. I coordinated Ace. "Where are we going," Ace said when I came to his room. "Get dressed," I said. "Take what matters. Leave everything else." "Nikolai. Where are we going." "I will explain when we are moving," I said. "You have four minutes." He dressed without arguing further. He took the ring from the nightstand and put it in his jacket pocket. He took nothing else. We were in the vehicle in

 Ivan's Pov The argument started in the operations room and it was the kind of argument that had been building for days without either of us acknowledging it. Nikolai had just finished telling Rem to restrict Ace's access to the operations board. Not reduce it. Remove it entirely. I waited until Rem left the room. Then I closed the door. "No," I said. Nikolai looked up from the table. "No what." "No to the board restriction," I said. "No to what you have been doing to him for the past four days in this bunker." "What I have been doing is keeping him secure," Nikolai said. "What you have been doing is isolating him," I said. "There is a significant difference between those two things." "He met a federal agent alone in a parking lot," Nikolai said. "He hid it from both of us. He then wo

 Nikolai's Pov The bullet had gone into my left side, below the ribs. I knew the location precisely because I could feel the exact point of entry every time I moved or breathed.  The medical kit in the vehicle was basic. Rem's driver applied pressure while I stayed on comms and ran the operation from the back seat. "Report," I said into the phone. "Ace is inside the restaurant," Rem said. "Don Caruso is at the table. Conversation is active." "Ivan." "Team is at the residence," Rem said. "Moving on the exterior guards now." "How many down so far." "Two exterior," Rem said. "Moving to the entry point." I pressed the dressing against my side and sat up straighter. The driver looked at me in the mirror, i looked back at him and he looked at the road again. "Nikol

Ivan's PovAce put the phone on the table in front of me at ten in the evening, he did not say anything at first. He just set it down with the screen facing up and waited.I looked at the screen. I read the document on it, I read it again from the beginning.I put the phone down and looked at him."Where did this come from," I said."Calloway," Ace said. "Tonight. Sent to my secure relay.""A scanned witness statement," I said."Yes," Ace said. "Dated nine years ago. Naming you specifically.""I know what it says," I said. "I read it.""Then tell me it is wrong," Ace said. He was standing across the table and his hands were at his sides and his face was very controlled. "Tell me the name in that statement is wrong.""The name in that statement is wrong," I said."How.""Because I was not in that apartment," I said. "I did not go to your mother. I did not touch her.""The witness says you did," Ace said."The witness is lying or the witness is mistaken," I said. "Or Calloway fabricated

 Ace's Pov "When did you start working with Calloway," I said. "Eight months ago," he said. "He found me. Not the other way around. He had been building a file on the twins for years and he had a gap he could not fill from the outside. He needed someone who had personal knowledge of them from before the organization." "You gave him Ivan's scar detail," I said. "Yes," he said. "To make the witness statement convincing," I said. "Yes," he said. "You wanted me to believe Ivan killed my mother," I said. "You wanted me to leave." Dorian looked up. "I wanted you safe," he said. "That is the whole truth of it. I wanted you out of that building and away from them and somewhere they could not reach you." "You almost killed me with the device," I said. He flinched. "You wer
