    Chapter <i>34</i>


    CHRISTIAN VICIOUS‘ VOLKOV.


    Almost midnight, the air con coughs groggily, you’d think a ce like this where I’m sending at ton of dors that would pay more than ten of my men would have better service.


    But their services are shit, wee to the sad.


    reality of power.


    Something creaks to my right, heavy snores fill the entire room and I’m appalled to look at the woman sleeping beside me mouth open, snores. as heavy as a lumberjack’s power saw maiming


    the air.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    I breathe in.


    I hold it, releasing the tension once more.


    Day four of being in this room and it’s almost as worse as sitting down and listening to my douche of a dead father teach me about love and


    weaknesses.


    The irony isn’t lost on me when I recall my old man had no single bone of love in his body. Not for my mother, not for me and not for Kat.


    As for his weaknesses? The man died from a


    gunshot wound by a rival gang, Martinelli’s gang to be precise.


    Chapter 34


    I’m nursing a gun wound to the shoulder, still recuperating from a graze wound to the neck and a shrapnel wound to the other shoulder and my ass is still here.


    Alive and kicking.


    Guess I’m not weak, old man.


    An innocent woman <b>in </b>a bed lies in front of me.


    Machines drowning in a sing–song tune beep around me.


    Juana sleeps on the next couch snoring like a tranquilized moose, a loose nket covering her.


    I swing the bass in my hands, watching Millie sleep.


    Three days with her and we’ve been visiting this hell hole to keep her motherpany.


    To remind her mother if she gives up on Millie. me and Millie are stuck like this.


    Together. Forever.


    Day five, Alexia Green still remains immobile on her bed. Like Sleeping Beauty with no one to give her a magical kiss back to the real world.


    I have a feeling kissing her wouldnd her in a deepera. That’s how poisonous I am to her.


    Day six, Millie and I go shopping for new clothes but she cries all the way home.


    Chapter 34


    Juana gives her her bottle of milk but the little kid refuses it finally realizing I lied to her.


    Mommy isn’ting home, is she?


    I almost see it in her little blue–brown eyes when


    we visit her mother.


    I’d exin to the kid that mommy is sleeping and


    the surgery was a sess but along the way I’m


    starting to think the docs have been bullshitting


    me too.


    Day seven has Kai Davenport visiting me and


    Millie with the news I’ve been anticipating for a


    while.


    Millie ys with her squishy toy in my arms <b>as </b>Kai gives me a report of what finally went down.


    “Trinity. They blurred the tes and tracking their minivan wasn’t easy but we’ve got them“,


    Kai reports.


    Maximo’s eyes are on me before he chuckles, “Didn’t think the padre had it in him to issue an


    attack on you. He’s your biggest follower, sarcasm


    intended.”


    “He is“, I affirm.


    Trinity?


    Couldn’t have seen thating.


    “Not if someone gave him a seat at the highest food chain to eliminate you“, Kai suggests.

    Chapter 34


    Millie throws her toy, grabbing my huge thumb


    in her tiny hands.


    “Dante“, I say.


    Dante Keaton.


    “Bingo. The fucker is desperate to find his family and to be back on the streets. He’d hire anyone just to get rid of you.”


    He’s got guts, I give him that.


    Kai tips his head at me. “See you in the next war, Vitello.”


    Then he leaves.


    It’s me and Maximo left in my study and then at minuteter, my men filter in one by one.


    “You did the background checks on the four


    assistants like I asked?”


    “Yes boss“, Jett answers, “Brenda Gibbins is the right choice. Suburban neighborhood, boring life, can blend in with people unnoticed. Perfect ce for them.”


    I look at the child.


    Giving her to Jett feels like giving an egg to <b>a </b>toddler. The chances of said toddler breaking it


    being high.


    “You understand what you have to do?”


    I ask. Jett nods, “Yes, Sir.”

    “And when the nurse wakes up and asks?<b>”</b>


    “You never visited, Boss.”


    Jett takes Millie, Jagger assists with the luggage.


    I feel the girls‘ absence in the silence that hits like. thunder.


    “What now?” Maximo asks.


    I pour myself a ss of whiskey.


    “I visit Trinity Chapel. I confess my sins to the


    padre.”


    I make sure the padre meets his maker.
