Chapter 100

”Okay, I just found out that Cienna was inside the premises of Poseidon's Realm on the night when the business deal was closed with Nolan . I presume that she was warned about not going in there, even though I was not informed about the arrangement until recently . It is safe to say that she didn't follow orders . ” There is no doubt in my mind . Stupidity and defiance were always a threat in the real world . Both of them could get you killed . Cienna was in a position where the sword was dangling over her head .

”You hate her,” I heard someone say, and even though the disembodied voice seemed familiar, I couldn't recognize who it was . And frankly, I didn't care enough about the opinion of one person to get offended .

”It is my duty to stay at Anthony's side at all times and at all costs . I was a.s.signed a duty and I simply wished to fulfil it . I'm trying to protect the interests of the mob by placing the simple facts in front of all of you . My prejudice, as you put it, has nothing to do with the raw facts that I have found . ” I saw Anthony return to sit seat and he seemed to open whatever he had found in my kitchen .

”We want a copy of all the facts and the proof you have . We will decide if we want to believe you or not . ”

”I think you don't understand the situation correctly . You do not get a choice in this decision . Anthony is the boss, he decides what to do . He is simply letting you in the loop so that he can find out your limitations and act accordingly,” I said . I looked over at Anthony for his approval and he seemed indifferent to my daring statement . I knew that if he hadn't stopped me right there, he believed that what I had said was true or was not offensive . . . for him .

”I think she is right . Could you have the Boss on the phone?” I heard Ethan say . And Anthony straightened and spoke into the phone .

”I'm right here . Now stop with your cat fighting and give me your ideas in a coherent manner . ” Anthony commanded . ”Alec, you go first . ”

”I will refrain from commenting, boss . I am just a spectator . ” This was when I realized that the previous venomous comment had been spewed by him .

The others too went over the limitations and strengths of their departments and left the decision up to Anthony .

”Ethan, what do you think?” Anthony's voice was gruff . He was clearly irritated with the lack of creativity on the part of his crew .

On the other side of the cell phone, I heard Ethan clear his throat and proceed to speak, ”I say we maintain contact with Luke Darcy . If Nolan has the information then Darcy already knows all of it . It is a good idea for me to look over the things that you have recorded today and the night before, Mia . I should look over to see if we need to tread carefully or not . ”

”What do you think of goading the enemy?” I could hear the amus.e.m.e.nt in Anthony's voice as he said the words .
