301 Unwilling? No Problem A thick rusted scent hit Lena’s nose the moment she entered the dull gray building. Rust or blood? Hard to tell with the state the place looked to be in. “Hold on now Princess. I don’t think that we are done talking things through.” Jovani shut the door behind her. No need to lock it since there wasn’t anyone to keep out. “I don’t care to spend time talking when there is still a lot to take care of and it’s already so late.” The front hall was devoid of…

300 Not Luxurious But They Don’t Need It 𝒾𝒏n𝗿𝒆а𝑑. 𝘤𝘰m “Where did you get all of this?” Lena’s eyes darted back and forth as she stared at her phone. “Just a little something extra we managed to pick up from one of the lovely captives. Unexpected really. We had a bit of a guess that would be on it. Just needed the right person to help us confirm it.” Jovani replied. “Obviously not something anyone was supposed to get ahold of. Just a happy little accident that…

299 Not So Fast 𝒾𝐧𝘯𝑟e𝒂𝗱. 𝒸o𝙢 Alonso did his job. Once it was confirmed the information went through successfully, he paid Cane. The mercenary could have whatever he wanted so long as the other didn’t have to deal with him again. Of course, he didn’t let the other leave until he made sure the promised amount hit his bank account. No way would he let that kind of money escape him. Such a simple thing such high pay. “Now that you have what you want and help me to get what…

298 Wait For It... “Otherwise occupied it seems. Looks like we both struggle to communicate around the people we don’t like.” Jovani shrugged off the text. Setting his phone down to lean back in the seat. “Everything should line up the way we need it to when it’s time. How much further until we reach our destination?” He couldn’t quite see the navigation map on John’s phone from his position. “Around another thirty minutes according to this. Shouldn’t someone have come along by…

297 A Treat “John couldn’t really turn to look at the other to see if his boss was joking. The car could potentially drive off the road if he did that. Glancing in the rearview mirror, he tried to meet Lena’s gaze. She ignored him, however. Sitting as far back as she could be in the seat. Her eyes shut as her chest rose and fell in a rather uneven pattern. “Am I supposed to be taking any of this seriously because I am finding myself having a hard time doing it.” “It is a very serious…

296 Third Shot John didn’t object as everyone piled into his car. A few things needed to be shifted in order to make room for the three of them. Lena got in last after making sure Jovani took the front seat ahead of her. The younger mafia boss obliged the other without speaking a word. Only a small nod of his head and a raised hand to remind her that he didn’t have anything on him. “Somehow it feels as though the rescue crew became the hostages.” John’s comment didn’t go unnoticed as the…

295 Just In Case The darkness made it difficult to see the expression on Jovani’s face. Without streetlights to cut through the dense darkness, all Lena could see were arm movements from the man. “Easy now princess. I know that things are kind of mixed up right now, but I do have the means to show you who I am.” “Then don’t waste time talking about it and just do already. I don’t have much patience with all the time wasted thus far.” The princess didn’t take the gun’s safety on…

294 Vanishing Act Couldn’t people be more careful? Lena winced. Her vision swam as she tried to take note of her surroundings. The timing had been off. By how much, no one could tell. Enough that it messed everything up. The car thankfully managed to stay on the road. Someone at least knew which tires to hit to keep them on the road. The princess needed it to stay that way if she was going to survive the night. Right now, the chances of that seemed far slimmer than before. Especially after Lena…

293 Crazy Human Lena’s mouth filled with a metallic taste. Despite bracing for the impact, it didn’t protect her tongue from her teeth. “Come now, princess. I don’t imagine you thought things would go this way.” The other seemed far less fazed about the matter than she did. This didn’t bode well for the situation at hand. He somehow retained a certain amount of his sanity. Choosing to take back control of the wheel before the car struck the barricade. “Keep your hands on the…

292 Don’t Test Me Alonso didn’t like everyone else that came to join them. His companion on the other hand seemed elated. “Learn to relax a little bit. You’ll get what you want if I deem it important enough. Right now just take a few minutes to get your mind off it.” He practically thrust the glass filled with cold amber liquid into the other’s hands. “Besides, it’s not like anything bad will happen to you while you’re here.” The right-hand man hardly felt any concern for…
