"You have a lot of explaining to do Carmichael."
"Elliot-"
"No Luce I'm serious. What the hell have you dragged us into Annie?" Elliot towers over Anastasia.
"You are going to step back before I make you." Marc growls and Elliot turns to him with his eyes narrowed.
"You! You are going to leave Annie alone ever since-"
"ENOUGH!" Anna yells and everyone in the room turns to face her with their eyes wide. "Unless you are Lucy, Elliot or Marcello leave now!"
Marcello's men look to their boss for confirmation. It is Luca that answers first.
"The Don's Queen has spoken. Get. Out." Luca winks as he leaves and Marcello rolls his eyes.
"Is that what you are now?" Lucy's timid voice asks.
"My brother was exaggerating but to me, Anastasia is very special." Marc answers.
"Why did they break in to our apartment?"
"We can be sure. They might have found out about my relationship with Anna. Looking for more information I suppose."
"Did you two notice anything missing?"
"Just my laptop." Lucy says quietly.
"What?"
"My laptop." Lucy repeats.
"I can find them." Anna says already unpacking her own laptops.
"Wait shouldn't we find out why they stole a laptop?"
"They probably thought it was mine." Anna says quickly. "This will work in our favour though because they probably have it on and are scouring through it."
"How does that work in our favour?" Elliot asks.
"Wait and look." Is all Anna says pointing to her screen that is already running at least forty applications. Her fingers dart across the keyboard moving in no particular order at lightning speed.
A picture of a blonde guy with glasses appears on the screen and Marcello growls.

"The Irish."
"Wait who is that?"
"The guy who has your laptop." Annie says with a grin truely in her element. Marcello leans forward his lips dangerously closer to the skin behind her ear.
"When this is over remind me to give you a job." He growls, when Anna shivers Marc chuckles lowly.
"So what do we do now?" Elliot asks.
"Well I'll kill the laptop and -"
"Wait you are going to kill my laptop?" Lucy whines.
"I'll buy you a knew one." Anna says once again her finger dashing furiously over the keys.
"Make sure you leave no trace."
"Marc seriously?" Anna raises an eyebrow.
"Right sorry." Marc smirks at her.
"Done." Anna says spinning around to face Marc.
"So this is mob life huh?" Lucy says with a small smile. "Can we go back to our apartment now?"
"I don't think that is safe. I'll get you an apartment in my building." Marc says.
"Annie I love your new boyfriend." Elliot says with a laugh. Anastasia blushes bright red and Lucy and Elliot walk out of the room laughing.
"Thank you. I owe you for finding us a new apartment." Anna says pressing a kiss to Marc's cheek. Marcello's arms wrap around her waist holding her in place.
"The apartment is not for you mio cara."
"But-"
"I stand by my previous offer. Move in with me."
"I don't think you truely 'offer' anything Marcello."
"You are right I don't. Move. In. With. Me."
"Ok." Anna whispers and Marc begins to pepper her face with kisses.
A throat clears behind them and Marcello groans.
"What?" He snaps not taking his eyes off Anna.
"Uh D-Don, we have a situation." An intimidating man with brown curly hair says in Italian.

"Can't you see I'm busy."
"But-"
"He will be right out." Anna interrupts.
"Grazie Donna." Anna blushes at the man's respect and Marcello chuckles.
"My men respect you."
"It is a bit much."
"I think it is appropriate for my Queen." Marcello says pressing a kiss to her lips.
"I'm your Queen?"
"Would you like me to beg?"
"Yes actually." Anna smirks. "You should go." Anna says pulling away from Marc.
"I hate leaving you."
"Just hurry back ok?"
"I promise."
Marc leaves Anna alone in the small room. Reflecting on what just happened exhaustion hits her. Anna flops down into the closest chair just as the door opens.
The same man from before walks in. He speaks to her this time in English.
"Don asked that I stay with you."
"What is your name?"
"David."
"It is nice to meet you David." Anna says standing and extending her hand. David takes her hand pressing a kiss to her knuckles. Anna gasps at the gesture.
I will never get used to these traditional gentlemen.
"The pleasure is mine Donna. I have never seen the Don this happy." Anna blushes again from David's words.
"Please David call me Anna."
"No I-"
"I insist."
"Very well Miss Anna."
"I guess that will do for now." Anna mutters under her breath.
"Don requested that I show you to his room."
"We are staying here?" Anna asks talking about the warehouse they are currently in.
"It is the safest place for now. Don has made sure you and your friends are well looked after." David helps Anna pack up her laptops and leads her out the door of the office.
Anna follows David up the stairs and into a luxurious looking bedroom.
"Marcello doesn't spare any expense does he?" Anna asks no one in particular.
"He is hoping it is to your tastes."
"It is extravagant but fine thank you David."
"I will be outside if you need anything Donna." David backs out of the room ignoring the glare Anna sends him for using her new 'title'.
Anna's old reliable phone buzzes.

At the center of a now unmoving battlefield the remains of a corpse rose from the others. A pile of bones held together by unknown means looked over the cadaver covered soil into the starry night.
