Pretending to Be an Untouchable Crime Boss

James was speechless for a moment, because Ferucci wasn't the guy who went in somewhere and killed everyone, he wasn't a hitman, nor had the experience and talent to do something like that.

But he did it and now Isabella was dead, one is off the list.

"We're going there, Ferucci." James said and hung up the phone.

"Where is he?" Hector asked as James gave back the phone to him.

James shook his head with a smile. "He really killed Isabella."

Hector was so surprised he just stared at James as he said it. "Ohh… that's nice…"

"That's more than nice… he also said he got more information about the whole thing. Who knows what he did with Isabella, but I'm sure she spoke." James said as he turned toward the window looking out.

"I am not sure about that." Hector said, his voice hesitant.

James turned back to him. "What do you mean?" He asked, confused.

"Well... Ferucci might be a good interrogator and torturer, but there comes the emotions… You know he can do his job but when the person did something really bad against you… he tends to not go overboard but do it quickly, like without even chopping one leg or doing any torturing he just cut their throats or something like that.

"Yeah..." James thought about it. "It is also telling that he finished well, quickly." He looked down on his watch. "Maybe thirty minutes?"

"Something like that... if he does his job well, then he would be there at least two hours… but let's hope to get some information out of her." Hector smiled at James.

"Yeah, let's hope."

It took them 20 minutes to get to the house and the very first step toward the house was already telling. Nobody was at the gate, only the blood trail which indicated where the bodies were dragged to.

"He cleaned up?" James asked, looking at Hector.

"Well usually he doesn't do it, but he is learning." Hector smiled.

James shook his head and went after the blood trail that led to the pool.

And the sight before them was… grotesque.

The pool was full of bodies, and the water was stained with blood. It looked like in some horror movies as the bodies floated on the top.

But the most confusing part was Ferucci who was sitting in a chair sipping a juice box like nothing happened, or like he wasn't the one that did it.

"Ferucci?" James asked as he stepped toward him.

"Ohh James, I got sleepy." He suddenly got up from the chair. "It was a work to pull this fucker in the pool."

"Why the pool?" Hector asked.

"I thought water would help with the smell… they are going to be here for sometime." He explained.

James and Hector looked at each other then back to Ferucci who was proud of himself.

"Where is she?" James asked.

"Ohhh come with me." Ferucci turned and started walking into the house and they followed him.

But they weren't ready for the sight. First they saw the woman that was Mira on the ground with a lot of blood around her head, and James immediately knew that she didn't belong here, but moreover the stroller was still in the corner.

His pulse immediately went up, because there was no baby in there nor there was any baby in sight. He looked back at Ferucci but he was just still smiling, but in deep James knew or at least hoped that Ferucci kept himself to the rules, and did nothing.

"Who is she?" He asked, pointing at Mira.

Ferucci stopped before her. "She was the wife of Isabella's brother." He looked up at James. "Today was Isabella's birthday and the whole family came here, his brother, and their daughters."

James' hand twitched a little as he heard daughters, but also got a little more sure that Ferucci didn't do anything to them, as there was no more blood or trace of any of them.

"And what happened?" He asked.

"Well I became really angry that they bring their daughters with them, or at least I became angry at Isabella, that she actually invited them knowing that somebody would come to kill her… so I offered them a choice, one of them will leave with the children, and well Mira was a selfish bitch and she died. So I let the dad leave with the childrens."

James let out a big sigh as he heard Ferucci's words, he got calm in a second.

"I can find him!" Ferucci said quickly. "I can find him and kill him!" He said again as he thought James was mad at him that he let one of them leave.

"I'm not mad, just... anyway where is she?"

Ferucci waited a bit but then calmed down and turned around and pointed at her. "She is here."

James stepped forward to see behind the table and then he saw her.

Sitting there against the wall with a knife in her head. It was something he saw in movies but not in real life. He knew very well that Ferucci would do something atrocious to her, but it was something he didn't expect to see, maybe some limbs missing but this was much worse.

And Ferucci saw James's expression, and it wasn't what he expected. He thought he would smile a little, like it was a gift or something, but now his expression was more like disgust.

"I can pull it out." He said, stepping to her and grabbing the knife.

"No Ferucci, don't pull it out…" James said to him as he turned away, because as Ferucci grabbed the handle of the knife, that sound was horrifying, it was crunching. "So what information did you get?" James asked as he was now turned to look at the kitchen rather than them or at Isabella.

"She said we will die, by the Sinatra cartel."

"What?" Hector asked, surprised.

"Yeah she said it and I also got confused by it." He turned toward Hector who was now all the thoughts shattered in his mind as well as in James's head.

All the clues they had now had no meaning as Isabella and the robber were also connected to the cartel.

"I also don't understand one thing." Ferucci continued. "She wanted to manipulate me, saying that James didn't do anything for us, and started yapping about all the things, like the Circle didn't do anything for her, you didn't do anything for her." He pointed at James. "Basically she said she needed something for all the things she did in the Circle that's why she robbed you… but it doesn't make sense because up in her office there are at least 100 million dollars…"

"Yeah it also bothered me." James spoke as he turned back, now facing Ferucci. "She was a multi millionaire, but still she robbed me for 40 million. It doesn't make any sense."

Why the fuck is she did it, there no sense of it… and now you died like a dog. He thought as he glanced once more at her.

"Only two things came to my head." Hector said. "The first thing, that this was just a test or something like that."

"Test?" James asked back.

"Yeah basically what Elizabeth told us was true she stole from Isabella and she somehow found it out, but at the same time Sinatra made a deal with her… so this whole thing was the perfect time to test what James Bellini would do, or if they can get away with the robbery." He explained.

"So to test what would I do, interesting, what the second?"

"The second is that it was the cartel's plan to eliminate Isabella, because they don't really care about alliances and deals, so it was all against her." He looked at Isabella. "Basically they tricked her thinking it would be good thing for her, maybe told her that they need money, dollar to buy weapons in the country for something, and she listened to them, thinking the 40 million would be enough to work with the cartel, and she didn't wanted to do it with her money. The money transport came in handy for her, but in the meantime the cartel plan was in the whole time to put Isabella up into the scope. Think about it, she was one of the city's biggest gangsters and also an obstacle for them, they just tricked her to believe they could work together."

"It made sense, she left the Circle and got scared of you." Ferucci said. "If we think about it, they also used us to kill Isabella… so they don't have to really do much."

My fucking god it all make sense… those motherfuckers are more genius than I thought…

It more complicated than I ever thought it would be… the cartel connected to Isabella and Marco… also the vice president who died, what the fuck is happening there it too much unanswered questions and it only the beginning…

"But Marco is still alive and I'm sure he got more information about the whole thing…" Ferucci said as glanced at Isabella. "So I'm pretty sure Marco also works with them, and that he knows more than this bitch did."

Marco…

"Do that." James said as he ran through his hair. "Find Marco and I don't care what the fuck you do with him, cut down his dick and legs but get information out of him…" He stared at Ferucci. "Don't go alone this time, bring as many people as you need, burn down the fucking family of Marco, kill everybody that's in your way and send a message that we don't give a fuck who are you, you will die."

Hector and Ferucci glanced at each other because this was the first real order of James, the first real order to start the war.

"I will definitely kill everybody who gets in my way." Ferucci said as he smiled, already seeing the dead bodies in a pile in front of him.

Yeah he's going to massacre all of them.
