"The block's blowing up again, Lina," Trent's voice came through fast over the line. "Two pawnshops on Eighth just got cleaned out. Junkies are back behind the canal warehouses, and three corner stores had their gates hooked to pickup trucks. The quiet streak's dead already."

It was odd to have a Mafioso sound so tortured. My insides raged. Elias Morello had ruined Adonis, and I feared the wrong person all this time. Elias deserved death—no, he deserved a punishment worse than death, and so did Leona. “Why did Adonis let him go?” I asked, rather aggressively. “Forgiveness is something you men don’t give for free, so why is he still alive?

He took care of covering up crimes so they were never reported. No matter how much investigation was done about me, it always ended with me being escorted out of the station a free man.

Nevena's gaze fell upon the waterfall, its beauty a harsh reminder of the life she longed to live. Consumed by the weight of her diagnosis, Aleksandar's break-up, and her family's abuse, she plunged into the deep water. Meanwhile that same night, In the Private Suite of Celestial Height Hotel Mexico, Room 665 was dimly lit up and loud moans were emanating from there. 'Fuck!, fuck !!,' Antonio "El Diablo" Hunt 'Blade Knuckles' the underboss of Medina crime family cursed. He could feel cum building up in his balls, as he plunged deeper into the Caribbean whore on his bed.

My mobile sounded and I moved out on to the landing. Caller ID: Kimberley. “Hello, darling,” I said into the phone. “I need a drink,” she explained. “Bad morning?” “Ever since that break-in you investigated, Bio-Preparations insist on having an audit every month,” she said breathlessly. “Why have they got to have it on a bloody Saturday?” “You poor thing,” I said soothingly, feeling partially responsible. “So how about the Waggoner’s Rest?” She persisted. “I’ve just arrived back at the quay.”

As Halloway always said “In order to be a good agent, you’ve got to be able to think like a crook and anyone that knew the Mafia families well enough also knew that they had to commit a crime to cover up an organized crime which most times would lead to a slip up.

One man had a chain around his neck and at the end of the chain hung a badge. The other man wore his badge at his waist. Great. Cops. “what can I do for you, Detective?” I questioned in annoyance. “Miss Bella Salvatore, I am Detective Cage, and my Partner Detective Anderson, would you mind answering a few questions?” One of the detectives spoke as he flashed his badge.

My gaze drifted to the news murmuring in the background on the TV. A fleet of police vehicles filled the screen, blue and red lights flashing in front of what looked like an embassy building.
