Chapter 99 - Its Elijah (1/2)

Marcel thought there was a future between them. No, he made the mistake of thinking that there would be one. He went to bed with various plans on how to keep Arianna by his side.

He knew it was selfish but then, he had never been a good person from the very beginning. Taking care of the Red Giant was not an issue since they were just a minor gang, but the problem was Elijah. Even as a one-man team, he's caused enough trouble for him.

Getting his guns was a priority before it escalated. He might have the chief of police on a leash but the mayor of the city would do everything to rid the streets of guns and drugs to gain good public opinion for his next tenure.

But Marcel pushed those thoughts to the back of his head as he fell asleep. He will think of a solution tomorrow. So he slept on the couch that was in his office even though his comfortable bed was not far away.

There was an option of sharing a bed with Arianna but Marcel knew himself well, there's no way that is not going down. He wouldn't be able to keep his hands to himself.

Thus, he slept off with a satisfied smile on his face knowing that she slept peacefully on his bed. Tomorrow would be a better day, he thought.

Sadly, he was awakened by a phone call quite early in the morning and the call was a nuisance, considering he slept late. He barely caught a wink.

Who dared to call him by this time of the morning? Marcel had been prepared to give the caller a piece of his mind only to notice it was the chief of police.

Why was the man calling him this early? Marcel honestly wanted to ignore the call but something bugged him so he picked up only to receive the bad news.

There had been an accident.

The only thing Marcel remembered after the call was him going to Victor's room and pulling him out from the tangle of women he was buried under.

He didn't even bat an eye at the scene before him, it was not a secret that Victor had a hedonistic lifestyle neither was it his business. Every one of them had their own demons to face and there was no one to judge them.

Marcel went to the accident scene, or would he say, one of them. There were a total of three accidents yesterday and all of them involved the members of his gang.

In summary, Marcel lost five people last night while six were Injured. Out of the dead, one of them had been his caporegime (captain); three of them were his Soldatos (soldiers); the last one had been a woman from the escort agency.

As expected, the accident was supposed to draw attention but after finding out it involved the members of the Luciano clan, the incident was silenced.

However, nothing can be hidden under the sun, hence even if the news manages to slip, every fact and number of casualties would be manipulated and changed. The incident would be blamed on drunk driving since the victims had been intoxicated before taking off.

Thankfully the incident had happened at night when there was less movement and no loss of innocent lives, which would have been more problematic.
