The A7X Mafia

I could see the bruise slowly forming on her face so I started the car and drove back to HQ.

Valeria’s POV (HQ)
I woke up with a pounding head ache and pain all through out my jaw, I slowly opened my eyes to see two guys sat at a table playing cards about 5 feet from me. I assessed my situation and found that my hands and feet were bound and I was tied to a chair, I could feel a bruise on my jaw and guessed it was from the hit I took and I was also in a 10x10 room with no windows and one door with a small light above my head.
I looked towards the guys at the table and I could clearly see the guy in front of me’s cards. They hadn’t noticed me yet and I wanted to get this over with
“He’s got two kings and an ace, can you beat it?” they looked up at me as I sat there with a raised eyebrow looking straight back at them
“You told him my hand!” I smiled
“Well you shouldn’t have your back to a prisoner then should you? Broke rule 6 there mate” I then smirked as he growled and stood up. The other guy quickly walked around the table and placed a hand on his shoulder to stop him jumping me. He then spoke to me
“Do you know who we are?” I put on my thinking face
“Umm nope”
“We are the mafia” I fake gasped
“Oh my god I was caught by the gay mafia? Is it because these shoes don’t go with this dress?” that got me a smack around the face from the guy wearing a fedora, I laughed when he backed up
“Ha-ha that all you got tough guy?” then I sent a wink his way which earned me another smack around the face, my jaw killing me.

Matt’s POV
“Do you know who we are?” I asked the girl who then put on a mock thinking face “umm nope”
“We are the mafia” I replied and she gasped
“Oh my god I was caught by the gay mafia? Is it because these shoes don’t go with this dress?” Brian stepped forward and smacked her straight across the face but she just laughed at him
“Ha-ha that all you got tough guy?” she asked him then winked at him mockingly and being Brian he got angry and smacked her again but she kept laughing.
After a moment she calmed down and said
“Ok all fun aside what am I doing here; aww is it because I killed your precious pet judge?” she said with a mocking sympathetic face and pout. I decided to trick her “sorry honey but you didn’t kill anyone, he’s alive and getting treated as we speak” I told her and waited for her reaction but she simply smiled and replied
“Aww shucks! The nitro-glycerine didn’t work?” Brian smirked in triumph that she told us what she used so easily
“Yep, it didn’t work honey” he told her with a smug face. She grinned wider
“Really? Well no wonder honey” she said mockingly
“I didn’t use Nitro to kill him so duh he didn’t die from that but he is dead, I know for sure” Brian smacked her so hard this time her head went nearly backwards and her chair rocked on it’s legs. He leaned on the arms of the chair and spoke lowly
“what did you poison him with then?” she made a grossed out face
“eww say it don’t spray it, and take a breath mint would you? PHEW does your breath smell nasty!” then she smiled at him and looked to me
“am I gonna have the puppy on me til you take me to your leader or am I actually going to be able to sleep some before then?” Brian then pushed her chair backwards which fell over and she landed heavily on the floor.
I watched her fall to the ground with the chair breaking as it hit the ground, Brian stepping back beside me, his cheeks flushed in anger. I looked back at the girl to see her sitting up and shaking her head then she looked up at us and grinned
“thanks puppy dog, been waiting for you to do that since I woke up” then she quickly shook the bindings from her feet and jumped up with a chair leg in her hand.
“wanna hit me now puppy?”
Brian ran at her but she stepped aside and whacked him across the back of his head with the leg, sending him crashing to the ground. She giggled and turned to me
“you know that silent strong man thing you got going on is pretty hot” then she aimed a kick at my head but I caught her leg, she then whacked me across the wrist with the chair leg and I let go with a yelp of pain. She ran for the door but I tackled her to the floor and struggled to pin her down as she wriggled like a wild cat to get free. Just as I nearly had her pinned the door slammed open and a figure stood in the door, we froze in place as the man looked us over
“Sanders get off the floor, play times over!” then he looked in the room further and saw Brian staggering to a standing position
“Haner! Stop sleeping on the job and move this one to the Office pronto!” he then walked away from the door and left us there to take her.
Brian got to his feet and groaned
“aww man my head is killing me! What did the bitch do to me?” I got off the floor and dragged the girl up with me who smiled at Brian and said sweetly
“I only hit on the back of the head silly, nothing to worry about now I believe you are supposed to be taking me to the ‘Office’ so please can we get on with it?” Brian growled and stalked over to us, grabbed her by the upper arm and forcefully dragged her out the door.
“woah” she said in shock
“like things a bit rough there do ya big boy?” Brian just growled again kept walking forwards. The girl looked behind herself at me and sent me a wink then turned back around and fell into step beside Brian.

Valeria’s POV
Haner as they call him dragged me to the Office, not that I didn’t know where it was anyway and we stopped outside the large oak doors leading to the room. Sanders stepped forwards and knocked on the door then I heard a loud
“come in” and opened the doors myself to see the head honcho sat behind his desk with his ever present smirk on his face. I stalked into the room and sat down in one of the chairs with a huff while the two boys stood behind me with their heads bowed; I rolled my eyes at them then faced the big guy who stood from his seat and gestured to the seats on either side of me
“sit boys” and they did as he told.
He then fixed his gaze on me and opened his arms
“welcome back Cara mia” then he sat back in his chair
“oh smettere esso! Why did you get the heavies to bring me here oh grande uno” I said slightly sarcastically but the man just kept that smirk in place
“Cara surely you understand that you can’t just go around fatale all of my people don’t you?” I leaned back in my chair
“I’m not under the familia’s employment so technically I can do what I want away from you”
“no cara you can not, not on our patch and not our men”
“men? I see no men only worker bees, buzzing around, doing your work while you sit here and simply give orders” he smirked wider then
“well speaking of workers, would you like to see one in particular right now?” I already knew who it was, I saw them when I walked through the door
“not particularly Don Diangelo, he isn’t high on my must see before I morire list”
“well to bad figlie, you will see me anyway” came a voice from the shadows and then a man stepped out from them and bowed his head to the Don then faced me and smirked I glared at him
“ciao padre”

Matt’s POV
I sat there stunned, her father was in the mafia and more importantly her father was high up in the mafia. Before us stood Alessandro Lodovico, one of the greatest hit men in the mafia who has since become the main man in charge of making sure all of the businesses we have go smoothly and all take overs are successful. How did he manage to have a daughter like this girl? I glanced over to Brian to see him giving me the same shocked look; I looked back at the exchange going on in front of us, wondering why we were privy to it.
“are you the one that ordered me be brought here or are you still a lackey padre?”
“now now tesoro, you know fully well why you were brought here. I must say I am proud you carried on the family business of killing people, even if it was our people you were killing” she smirked at him
“aww did I hurt povero padre’s feelings? Well it’s not like I could do anything else, killing was all I was subjected to since I was a bambina! I kill your people because they piss me off
“language Valeria! We have other people in the room” Valeria as I now know her as seemed to realise we were still in the room and sat back in her seat calmly, nothing in her face portraying that only a moment ago she was angry at her father.
Alessandro looked at Brian and I,
“grazie boys for bringing my daughter back home to us” then he turned towards the Don who was sat quietly behind his desk watching the exchange. He smiled at Alessandro and motioned to the other chair on the other side of me, to which he sat in then looked at Valeria again.
“now Valeria, are you going to do what you know we want or are you going to be difficult?” she smiled at him
“when have I ever been easy Don Diangelo?” Don smirked at her
“Vero bambina, but this time it’s either do as we say or die, no chances for you anymore, you used them all up when you killed people of the familia”
“death never scared me Don, you know that”
“will you join the familia again?” Don Diangelo asked again in slight frustration. I looked at Valeria who was about to answer with I guess a no when Alessandro spoke up quietly
“your Madre misses you bambina” and as soon as the words came out of his mouth I could see Valeria break and give up, her shoulders slumped and her head bowed.
After a minute of silence Valeria lifted her head and looked Don Diangelo in the eye saying only one word
“si” before she got out of her chair and left the room. I watched her leave her chair then faced the Don with Brian, he smirked at us
“well done boys and I must say who ever hit her left a good mark. Now I need you to take her to your place and give her a room, she won’t be a problem now as she is a part of us, she will behave herself. Make sure she has everything she needs for tonight then take her to get her stuff from her place tomorrow.” Alessandro spoke up
“she has a sister living with her who will most likely come along with her and she never officially left the mafia so she can have a room at your place as well, you will most likely need to take a very large car, a truck preferably to bring all of their stuff back as they have a lot of it, do we make ourselves clear?” Brian and I nodded then Don excused us from the room.
We bowed and walked out the door, once out of ear shot Brian started talking
“she is a mafia kid! And a damn high up one at that, why the hell did she start whackin’ our guys? Fuck my head hurts, she sure does throw a good swing for a girl, wonder if she’s any good at baseball?” I chuckled at his ramblings
“well man who knows why she started and I doubt she can play man, mafia girls aren’t taught stuff like that”
“yeah well she don’t seem like the average mafia girl”
“I know” I said as we rounded the corner and still didn’t see her in sight
“fuck Brian where did she go?” he shrugged
“I don’t know! She must know more about this place than we do if she grew up here” I shook my head
“lets go check the room, she might have gone there” then we headed off to the room we started in.
There was no Valeria in the room just a broke chair and the card game
“shit!” Brian said. I looked around in case she came and got something and spotted her purse missing from the table; I grabbed Brian’s arm and pulled him from the room
“her bags missing so she probably went to her car” I then let him go and we walked all the way to the garage where I parked her car when we arrived earlier today.
I looked around to see if I could see her and saw that her trunk was open and I could hear a shuffling noise from it. I pointed it out to Brian and we walked over to it; when we reached it we walked from the nose of the car slowly to the trunk and suddenly we heard
“you know for hit men you walk damn loudly” then a head popped out from behind the hood only slow enough to see it was Valeria before it vanished again. I walked quickly towards her only to see her wearing jeans under her dress while in the process of pulling a top over her head. When she had succeeded she sighed and looked up at Brian and I. Seeing our questioning looks she said
“what? This dress is really uncomfortable and well it’s been ruined anyways from the dirt and dust it’s been subjected to landing on under my body so its not like I’m gonna keep it anyway” she then proceeded to shimmy out of the dress leaving her in the top and jeans. She looked around her for something and having obviously not found it she sighed
“do you guys know why this place has no bins in it?” she asked us Brain shook his head while I just stayed silent. She shrugged and just threw the dress over her shoulder somewhere then took out a pair of brown Etnies. She sighed
“so much better than heels” then she looked at us again.
“err look guys sorry about the whole not coming quietly thing, but as the prisoner I had a duty to do everything to get free but now I’m on your team whether you like it or not and in this game called mafia you need to get on with those on your team, I am now a part of that team and I would like to apologise for whacking you on the back of the head err Haner-“
“Brian” Brian told her to which she smiled at him
“Brian and I’m sorry for you know bruising your wrist and scratching the hell outta ya trying to get free err-“
“Matt” I told her and she grinned at me
“ok Matt, I’m sorry now as that’s over and I so know you aren’t sorry about hitting me with what I said Brain so which place do you guys live in?” she asked me I gave her a questioning look but answered her
“Richmond Hill Drive, why?”
“well I’m guessing you were told to take me to your place for the night so get in your car and lets drive there, I’m beat” then she closed her trunk and got into her car.
Brian and I walked over to our car and got in, once seated Brian turned to me
“well that was weird” I shrugged
“sure but hey if she wants to be friends, might as well” he smirked
“yeah don’t wanna get smacked in my sleep by a chair now would I?” I laughed at him then we heard a beep. I looked out the window and saw Valeria leaning out hers, I rolled mine down and shouted
“what?” she grinned at me
‘think you and puppy can beat me home?” I grinned back at her
“you are so on!” then she laughed and stuck her head back in then gunned her engine and reversed straight out of the garage, all the while looking straight at me then winked and did a fast spin around and peeled off down the road.
Brian grinned at me as I grinned back
“get going man! She called me puppy again I gotta get her for that!” I laughed and peeled off down the road after her.
