“Bella, wake up already. It’s 8’o clock. Aren’t you having an interview today??” Isabelle’s mom, Letty called her while pulling off the sheets and opening the curtains.
“Mom, five more minutes please.” Bella groaned shielding her eyes from the sunlight.
“Baby, didn’t you say today was an important day for you? And you somehow had to get into this company?” Her mom asked her patting her head and kiss her cheek.
“Umm, I love you Mom. You are the best.” Bella said waking up and sitting in her bed.
“I love you too, my baby. Now freshen up quick, I will make some breakfast for you, okay?” And Letty left leaving Bella do her morning routine.
But as soon as Bella kept her feet down on the floor, she jumped back in the bed because the floor was cold.
“Why can’t you keep the slippers next to the bed, so your feet don’t get cold when you wake up? Where’s your socks?” Her brother walked in keeping the slippers right near her bed.
“Oh, thanks sweetheart. Forget about our elder brother. I love you more. Come give me hug.” Bella opened her arms for her younger brother Ian who happily jumped in the bed to return the hug.
“Okay, now that you’ve fooled mom, let’s get serious. Are you all set for your mission? This one’s going to be a bit dangerous. I am worried for you, Belle” Her brother said still hugging her.
“Umm, I know, it’s going to be more dangerous.” Bella replied almost in a whisper.
“Belle, promise me you won’t risk your life, if there’s any danger. Just make sure you get out. Okay?” Ian was anxious and Bella smiled at him.
“I promise. Do me a favour. Just go through my stuff once, if I’ve forgotten anything. I need all the information on my iPad. My earphones, the charging cable and a spare battery. My phone, please see if it’s charged and get our phones connected.” Bella said and went to the washroom.
“Cool, go get ready.” Ian replied and quickly went through all the stuff his sister had told him.
“She definitely forgot to charge her phone.” He said and put her phone on charge.
He was done connecting both their phones and now he had her location and information on his phone. Just when he was about to leave, his phone rang.
“Hello, this is Ian.” He said receiving the call.
“Ian, it’s me, Klaus.” The man on the other side replied.
“What the f-?? Where have you been? I thought you were dead.” Ian replied in shock knowing it was his friend.
(So here, Ian and Adrian’s assistant, Klaus are best friends.)
“I am fine. How are you? How are things there? I saw the news of Henry’s death. It quite shocked me.” Klaus told him and Ian smiled, because he knew it was his dear sister.
“Yeah, I saw him in person, it was brutal. But thanks to the person who did that. You know, even though we are the Mafias, the badass people, we never do drug business, that’s a taboo for us.. and I know how Adrian hates it too.” Ian replied to his friend who laughed.
“Ian, the reason I called you is, Adrian is coming to LA. It’s your father’s territory, so coming directly would be like asking for a fight. We don’t want that. One of us betrayed us and has joined the people whom we hate. It was a arms consignment and he sold it to them. So Adrian wants to deal with it himself.” Klaus explained in least words as possible.
“Cool, go ahead then. I will give our men and my dad a heads up. Once you reach here, somebody will find you and give you an emblem, just show that if anyone stops you and rest leave it to me. Let’s meet up if possible.” Ian assured his friend and they both hung up.
Ian went down to his father’s study and knocked twice before hearing a faint “come in”.
“Ian, hello, how come you turned up here today?” His father asked surprised.
Ian smiled and sat in front of his father.
“Dad, Adrian is coming to LA.” Ian told his father and he saw his father tense up.
“No, no, not what you think. One of his men betrayed him and stole the arms consignment which was going to him and sold it to the Wolverine Gang.
Adrian got furious and wanted to deal with him, himself. But before that, he asked his assistant and my best friend, Klaus, to let you know that he means no harm for us and is just for the purpose of dealing with his man.” Ian explained his Arthur visibly relaxed.
“Well, we do have feuds with Wolverine Gang as well. I was waiting to teach that Solomon a lesson. Well, better now then never. Tell him, we will back him up 100% if he wants us to. Let’s get even with them for killing our men too.” Surprisingly, his father was more than happy.
“Great, I’ve asked one of our men to give him our emblem, so nobody stops him.” Ian told his father and he was okay with that.
