Part 25 (1/2)

”I know you.” I pushed out my throat so tight it came out just above a whisper.

”Yes you do but enough about me lets talk about you and your relations.h.i.+p with Olivia.”

”Stay the f.u.c.k away from Olivia.” I spat trying to sit up but failing, I was so cold my fingers were numb, my stomach turned in that going to throw up way and my head hurt so bad my vision was fuzzy and I was bleeding from somewhere on my face.

f.u.c.k me.

”How about you stay the f.u.c.k away from Olivia because I've worked too d.a.m.n hard to have you mess everything up.”

”Who are you?” I asked knowing I'd seen his face before I just couldn't make my mind think straight enough to figure it out where and when.

”I'm Nick, Olivia's brother.”

The bag was ripped off my head, the bright light stung my eyes making me snap my eyes shut as Vinnie's awful voice came at me. ”Oh Olivia I'm very disappointed in you.” Opening my eyes slowly I found Vinnie standing in front of me and myself tied to a chair in Vinnie's living room.

Ahh eff.

”You should have stayed away from my business Olivia. Now not only do I get to kill you I also get Jonah for the rest of his life.”

”You kill me Jonah will never stay working for you.”

”He'll never know it was me not after he finds out you were poking your nose into the drug world. It's a dangerous place Olivia people die in it all the time. Plus just today me and Jonah made a deal.” Oh no. ”Jonah continues to work for me, no more trying to get out as long as no harm comes to you from me and if harm does come to you from another, I punish them. Now I get Jonah for life and all I have to do is find someone to take the fall for your murder. Win, win for me Olivia dear.”

”Jonah would never make a deal with you,” I screamed pulling my hands against the rope holding my wrist behind my back so hard I felt the rope rip my skin.

”You're right Jonah normally wouldn't do something like that but he would for the person he loves most in this world.”

”You've taken everything he loves you sick b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” I yelled tears falling down my face because I knew there would be no rescue. Shark was holding everyone that could or would save me. Vinnie was going to kill me. ”Why Vinnie? He's your nephew and you killed his family.”

”As I'm going to kill you I'll give you this one. My brother betrayed me working with a f.u.c.king cop to take me down after I gave him everything.” Vinnie spat putting his face within inches of mine.

”You betrayed him first by working with someone from the Russian mob.”

Surprise flashed across Vinnie's face before he started to laugh, ”You found out quite a bit didn't you.”

”Yeah but it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.”

”And what did sweet Olivia already know?”

”That you're the worlds biggest coward.” Vinnie's eyes flashed dangerously as the back of his hand hit me across the face. ”I'm a young woman Vinnie five foot nothing and you're a grown man who had to tie me to a chair just to get me to listen to your stupid a.s.s. Not to mention you had to kill your own brother because you f.u.c.ked up by going to someone from the Russian mob.”

”Look around Olivia does it look like I f.u.c.ked up with the Russian mob, I'm living the dream. Business is booming, I got more money than I can count and half of Denver is scared of me.”

”Wrong Vinnie you f.u.c.ked up big time Mika works for the Russian mob dips.h.i.+t and the people he works with are on their way.”

Vinnie's whole body rocked backwards as his face went bright red he threw his head back and screamed. And as I was going to die anyways I burst out laughing.

”Shut up.” Vinnie screamed which only made me laugh harder.

As Vinnie pulled out his phone the guy that had been following me punched me in the mouth. My head flew back as my lips split open and blood pooled into my mouth.

Throwing his cell across the room Vinnie yelled, ”Get me Jonah and Denny now.” Vinnie's boys started moving as Vinnie stomped toward me, grabbing a handful of my hair he snapped my head back so I was looking up at him. ”Tell me everything you know, now.”

”Go to h.e.l.l Vinnie.”

Snarling like a wild dog Vinnie pulled a sliver pocketknife from his pants pocket. The cold mental of the knife bit into my neck causing me to scream out and blood to run free. ”Tell me or I turn the small cut I just made into a big one that will cause you to bleed out.”

Before I could say anything one of Vinnie's boys came into the room speaking, ”Jonah's missing, Denny's looking for him.”

Vinnie pulled away from me so fast I felt the knife cut across my skin. ”What do you mean Jonah is missing?” Vinnie yelled.

”Nick's got him.”

Nick no not my Nicky please G.o.d don't let it be my Nicky.

”Where?” Vinnie asked.

”Some place called the fire house we're trying to find it.”

Oh G.o.d it was my Nicky and he had him at the firehouse my brothers old house, an old fire station that Alex and Nicky had converted into a house. What the h.e.l.l was Nicky doing with Jonah?

”Get a lock on that place and have all the boys meet up at the club. I'm done with Nick its time we met face to face.”

”What about the girl?”

”Leave her, I want the fear to eat at her for the next couple of hours.” Turning toward me Vinnie looked me straight in the eyes, ”Enjoy the last hours of your life Olivia and know that I'm not going to kill you fast it's going to be slow and very painful.”

As soon I heard the front door shut and the house turn a deadly quiet, I frantically tried to pull my wrists free. I did this for G.o.d knows how long it felt like hours but really I guessed it was less than ten minutes. The cut on my neck was stinging and every time I moved more blood would flow down and my wrists were burning like h.e.l.l. I didn't want to give up but I was getting nowhere, I was screwed.

A loud crash followed by heavy footsteps had me whipping my head towards the door.

s.h.i.+t.

I started franticly pulling at the ropes; I was so focused on what I was doing when the hands touched me I screamed so loud I'm surprised the gla.s.s in the room didn't break.

The hand on my arm slammed down over my mouth as Shark's face came in to view and his words for me to be quiet sounded in my ear.

Once I stopped he immediately started asking questions. ”How much do you know about the drug business?” Shark asked moving his hand away from my mouth.

”What?” I croaked out my throat now added to the list of things that hurts.

”Vinnie's business, how much do you know about it?”

Ah s.h.i.+t he was here to arrest me.
