"Von ! Rubi found something " Tori, one of our hitman said peaking his head into my office. I instantly rose to my feet and approached him

"She's in the lab ? " I asked and he quickly nodded. I walked passed him and headed towards the lab. It's been 26 hours since Amanda's abduction, 26 hours of trying to locate her, 26 hours of Mia cursing me out and 26 hours of feeling guilty. This whole thing has made me realize that I dragged Amanda into my shit, my lifestyle and I know for a fact that Amanda doesn't belong in this world. I don't want another woman's blood on my hands, I don't want to ruin her and I promised Mia that after we get Amanda back, I'll let her go. Mia too is willing to sacrifice their friendship for her safety , we chose this life and we've adapted well to it but it's a different case with Amanda, way different.

" I'm listening." I said when I entered the lab and took a seat next to Rubi, our tech girl.

"Well , I finally got the savailance camera footage from the restaurant she was abducted in front o- " I cut her off before she could finish.

"The one we had a meeting at ? " I turned to look at her for confirmation while toying with one of the pencils that were on top of the table.

"Yes Von ! and can you please let me finish before you ask questions ?" she asked looking at me with a bored expression.

"I'm sorry Rubi, my head is just all over the place but continue " I said before running a hand through my hair exhaling deeply.

"It's okay Leonardo, we'll find her" she said offering me a tight smile before reaching her hand out to ruffle my hair, I hit her hand away and she chuckled. Rubi was one of the few employees whom I actually get along with, she was loyal to the family name and she was a hard worker . I also considered her as one of my friends.

" In the footage I was able to see that the car was heading east because he drove down the street probably to Rogau and also I had a close up look of the car. I printed pictures of the car and gave one to each of the guys and sent them on a search party to Rogau . I just got a call from Ronnie and he said that there's a warehouse located in the Mountains in Peta, he didn't see the car but he's convinced that that's where Amanda is held. Tell me when you're ready to go because Ronnie and them are already on standby " I grinned instantly jumping out of my seat and walked out of the room into the lobby of the warehouse, where everyone was located.

" LISTEN UP ! EVERY GET DRESSED, PUT ON YOUR FUCKING VESTS AND STRAP UP ! WE'RE GOING TO PAY AN OLD FRIEND A VISIT " I said before grabbing my black jumpsuit and vest .

Within a few minutes of explaining the plan of how we were going to get Amanda out, everyone was dressed and ready to go. We all loaded up into 6 different vans .

" We're going out as 45 and we're going to return as 45 ! Everyone be careful, stick to the plan and cover each other , Familiá ?" I heard my dad say over the radio

"Familiá !" everyone said over their radios.

"You're good brother ?" I heard Mia ask beside me, everyone came with to the mission except for my mother and Rita, Mia wouldn't stay behind no matter how many times I begged her to stay.

" Yea." I said nodding still facing the window. I felt Mia kiss my temples, I turned to her and chuckled.

" Look who can't get enough of their brother ?! I knew you favored me " I said offering her a smile , she playfully rolled her eyes before pulling away from me

" This is why I'm never sentimental to any of you guys, always ruining the moment " we both laughed before I pulled her back into my embrace and kissed the top of her head .

"We'll get her back Mii, I promise " I said breaking the silence when I heard her sniffing. She wiped her tears before picking her head up to look at me

"I know Leo ." she said smiling .

°°°°°°

I handed the handgun over to Luciano and took out my AK - 47, the clip was already loaded with enough bullets to get the job done . I was a skilled shooter and any shit that was coming out of this gun was going to land on it's target. I grabbed my radio and got out of the car.

" Ronnie how is it looking ?" I asked over the radio while we moved in on the warehouse. We parked down the road so we wouldn't be noticed and we were all spread out around the warehouse.

" 2 men at the gate and 7 men by the entrance " he said through the radio.

" Mia do you copy ?" I asked as we crept closer to the warehouse.

"Yea, I hear you ! Just got on top of the tree " she said sounding out of breath. Mia, Rubi and Mariana were our snipers on the trees.

" I want you to take out the men by the entrance, we got the 2 by the gate. Do you copy ?" I said holding the radio closer to my mouth

" Loud and clear Von ! " all three of them said at the same time. I motioned to Mason to get one of the guys by the entrance and I got the other one, he nodded before moving in. I hurriedly walked towards one of the guys and chocked him, smashing his head against the concrete instantly killing him. I looked over to Mason and he stood there with his arms folded and a dead body beside him

" I thought I'd have to wait forever for you." he said before chuckling, I shook my head at him before facing the entrance. Moments later the bodies of the men by the entrance started dropping , I nodded towards Mason before motioning for the crew to come in while Mason opened the gate.

" Whoever finds Amanda first , instantly has to inform us leave with her ! Mom will be waiting with the medical team back in the warehouse. Okay ?! " I instructed, me and Mason standing either side of the door with the crew behind us

"Yea !" they whispered back. I turned to Mason and gave him a head nod, he smirked before moving back and kicking the door open. I threw a smoke can before I motioned for the crew to move in.

Gunshots rang as smoke filled the house, the house was filled with more than 60 men. As if they were expecting us, they took out their guns and fired back at us .

"SPREAD OUT ! SHE COULD BE UPSTAIRS OR IN THE BASEMENT , MASON COVER ME " I yelled over the radio still shooting at the men. Mason nodded before motioning for me to go, I ran up the stairs, Rosco had to be in one of these . I walked down the passage, kicking doors along the way and killing whoever was inside. I approached 2 large doors down the passage, this had to be Rosco's room. I kicked the door open and there stood Rosco with a gun pointed at me. I looked around his room and noticed a safe on the wall beside his bed was open and a bag filled with money was beside it , he was planning on leaving ?!

"Going somewhere Rosco ?" I sarcastically asked while I scanned him , he had one gun only.

"Yes actually, as you can see I was in the middle of packing before you rudely barged into my room. " he said nervously laughing , I tilted my head to the side and slightly smirked at him.

" Oh well , I beg your pardon old friend. " I gave him a tight smile , " Where is she ? " I asked my smile instantly dropping , he chuckled while looking at me like I had 2 heads.

" Like I would tell yo- " I shot his hand causing him to instantly stop talking and dropping his gun to the floor as he screamed like the bitch that he was.

" Where is Amanda Rosco ? " I asked my tone darkening , I saw him try and reach for his gun but I shot him on his knee cap making him drop to the floor. I kicked his gun to the side and hovered over him.

"I don't have all day you know " I said with my gun pointed at him and the bottom of my boot pressing down on his knee. He screamed while scratching my leg trying to get me off his leg but I didn't budge.

"Fuck you Reigns ! Fuck you and the rest of your family . I hope that bitch bled to death." he said laughing with tears coming out of his eyes.

"Von ! Your dad has her." I heard Ronnie say over the radio, I smirked before shooting Rosco in between his eyes and on the chest.

"Leonardo get out of there, the bomb will go off in 2 minutes " I heard Luciano yell on the radio. I got off Rosco and ran out of the room, down the passage and down the stairs . The bomb went off the moment I took 3 steps from the door sending me flying across landing on my back hard on the ground with my ears ringing. I heard Mia's voice in the distance screaming my name.

"Leonardo ! Leonardo !" Luciano yelled at me while slapping me hard.

"Slap me one more time and I swear to God Luciano" I said opening my eyes while trying to sit up

"Thank God ! Mom would've killed me, I promised to look after you on this mission" he said as he embraced me .

"Move ! Are you okay Leo ?" Mia said as she pushed Luciano to the side and held me close to her chest, nearly suffocating me.

"Yes I'm okay Mia, let's get out of here before the police show up ." I said while Luciano helped me get up and move to the car

"Daddy already left with Amanda and Ronnie " she said instantly looking worried again

"How is Amanda ? Did you get to see her ? " I asked Mia turning to face her.

"No, I couldn't leave you behin- " she was cut off by Luciano before she could finish

"It's bad brother ! She really looks bad " Luciano said with sympathy in his voice before turning to look at me

"Get me there NOW." I said when we finally reached the car .

You better not die on me Amanda ! Not when I just got you.
