“Come on, this is not funny!”
“I’m not laughing.”
“Why do I have to stay here!”
“This is not your place.”He turned his back on her and made his way inside.He did demand one of his men stay by the car, just in case Liana was able to somehow break free and get the car going.
He was starting to realize he didn’t quite know his wife as well as he thought he should.On arriving at the casino, he went straight down to the basement, where his head manager was sitting in a single chair, sweating profusely.His name was Henry, and he had been working for him ever since he opened the casino.
Diego liked Henry.He was a good man, a father, a husband.Diego pulled out his gun and placed it against Henry’s head.The man was already sweating and now his hands were up in the air.
“Tell me where the missing money is?”he asked.
Missing money within the mafia was not good.A traitor, a thief, anyone could have that money.Everything had to be accounted for, and anyone who turned their back on the Colombo Mafia faced the consequences.Francesco wouldn’t demand anything less.
“I swear all the money was there when I got it loaded on the truck.Check the security cameras.Everything is in place.I know there is always a risk, so I record every step, and once all is in place, I then delete the whole footage.I swear.”
It would be easier to shoot him in the head, but then he would have to find another person he could trust.That was even fucking rarer.
Chapter Five
They went from thecasino to a warehouse, and finally, they arrived at what appeared to be an abandoned trailer home.There was a single trailer with a lot of land around it.The trailer was also well lit.
Diego didn’t say a word as he put the car in “park.”They were not even close to the trailer and Liana looked toward Diego’s face and saw there was no humor there at all.This was serious and deadly.Liana sat back and just waited.
“Wear this,” Diego said, pulling out a tie.
“What?”
“I want you to cover your eyes.”
This made her frown.“Diego, come on, you’re not serious.”
“It’s past nine at night, Liana.The money leads to here and I promise you right now, this is not going to end well.As your husband, I am asking you to trust me and put the damn tie on.Also, I want you to cover your ears.”
She checked to see if he was joking.
