Chapter 33: Chapter 33
Elijah*
The speedboat sails fast on the water off the coast of the Mediterranean sea, the island of marettimo in Sicily. I rode the boat with Alexei, my eyes glancing briefly at him making calls. Looking back ahead to the secured location I chose for the meet up with the Italian scumbag. Still on the lookout for Sonia since we arrived in Italy with my men. One thing she is good at is disappearing, going ghost off the face of the earth proving it difficult to find her.
Leaving Alexei by the boat, I walk past the security holding grim faces. My eyes behind the RayBan search for the old weasel just ahead, he smiles like the devil he is walking up to me.
He ushers me forward walking alongside me and two of his security trailing behind us.
"Vladimir. So glad you could make it." Even the smile on his face sprang forth like something out of the deepest part of hell. The smile comfortably sat on his lips not going past his thin lips to his eyes showing how much of a devils spawn his profile displays.
"What can I do for you Leandro?" Not in the mood for his games, my hands tucked in my pants pocket looking at the beautiful island, water crashing on huge boulders.
"Wouldn't you love to seat at least. You are in my country as a guest, it is improper to be a bad host." My eyes looks bored at him. This have got to be the calmest I have ever been with a client; especially one I wish to kill.
"I am sure my uncle passed my message to you, right?" Fear could be seen in his eyes but quickly covering it up with a hard laugh. "Good. Now get on with it before I lose my temper." His security made a move at me, I let a soft laugh seeing their attempt to confront or should I say intimidate me. Funny. Very funny. I laugh again looking back ahead of me. "Tell your dogs, one step more and I will blow the fuck out of their bodies."
Leandro felt insulted and pissed, anger blazed in his eyes and it only made the grim smirk on my face grow bigger. Snapping my fingers at them getting their eyes on me, I point to Alexei holding a bazooka directly faced at Leandro grinning like the deranged psycho he is. Their eyes were all on me forgetting to take notice of Alexei mounting his Babygirl as he calls it.
"Fuck yeah Vlad!" he screams making me smile knowing one more step from them, the barrel will end up blasting Leandro into a million chum. That will surely make my day. Best firework of the year and it is not yet Christmas.
Leandro laughs nervously signalling his dogs to back down. Good for him. "It haven't come to that Vlad. I didn't call for a fight, I only wish for you to see your contract." His eyes darting between Alexei, the bazooka and I. Whistling to one of his dog holding a suitcase, he came forward balancing the box as Leandro opens it getting out a file.
"Here is your job." Thinking the shades hinders the vivid picture in front of my eyes, I take it
off looking at the pretty face I have come to know. The picture displayed on the file skipped my heart. Suddenly my face lost the compose niche twisting into an ugly frown. The missing pieces fixed into place. In a flash, I grip him tight pointing my gun to his neck. His securities who were scattered all over the place ran to their boss's rescue all pointing their guns at me.
"Vladimir. Vladimir easy. Take it easy."
"Tell your fucking dogs to stand down or your head will have a beautiful hole in it." He gulps speaking to them in Italian. A grenade went off blasting a lone part of the island uninhabited as all head snaps to Alexei loading another grenade who grins feeding off their fear.
"English please." Alexei grins sinisterly. Feeling regret seep into my chest for not taking Ivan and Kirill instead of my psycho brother. One by one everyone let down their fire arms eyes flitting between their boss being held at a gun point and the sinister green eyed man holding their death sentence.
"You wrecked my home for this?" Monotone, taming the raging beast inside me.
"It was only to draw you out. I tried to reach you several times. You are a very difficult man to find." He shakes in fear holding his hand up in surrender. How much I want to blow his brains out. Fuck up his soul into a million pieces.
Uncle is right. If I don't take control over the situation, it will be worse than I intend for it to be. Calming my erratic breathing, I release him giving him one last stern look before fixing my shades back on my eyes.
"Vladimir! Vladimir! You cannot refuse me, I want her eliminated by you or not." He calls after me with an obvious threat. In a flash, I point my gun at him in steaming anger.
"One more fucking word from your mouth and I will kill you." He gulps retreating back. I continue forward till I got in the boat with Alexei speeding off the island.
I needed to kill someone, specifically one on that island, wiping him off the face of the earth.
Letting a painful growl, I punch the steering wheel repeatedly. "Chto sluchilosʹ Vlad?" (What happened Vlad?)
"Nam nuzhno nayti yeye. i bystro." (We need to find her. And fast.)
