THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

“No!!!, Theresa!!!!!!!!” Matilda screamed as the vans drove away speedily.

Caesar surveyed the area to check whether the snipers were still on top of the buildings of which they still were.

Caesar began thinking of away to take down the snipers and chase after Tiger and his men.

Matilda was bleeding profusely on the ground with tears rolling down her cheeks.

“Rose.” Caesar called Rose who was standing beside him with her hands also raised up.

“Yes?” She responded.

“At the count of three you’ll pick up your gun and shoot down the snipers on the top of the building behind while I take down ones in the front.” Caesar instructed, and Rose nodded.

One of the snipers on the building got a phone call from Tiger. He picked the call without taking his eyes off the targets.

“Yes boss?”

“Kill the other three members of the. Gilbertos before they inform their leader.” Tiger’s voice boomed through the phone.

“Oka….”

Caesar shot the man on his forehead before he could complete his statement.

The other snipers became alert and befirethey could make an attempt to fire, both Rose and Caesar shot them all with a minute.

Caesar immediately carried Matilda to the car and. He placed her in backseat. Rose sat beside Matilda to attend to her bullet wound.

Caesar got behind the wheels immediately and blared the engines to life, then he zoomed off without wasting a second.

He quickly olcws a clk across to Alfred who picked at the third ring.

“Hello boss?”

“Are you done with the trade” Alfred asked.

“Yes boss,” replied Caesar, “but Tiger had another objective.”

“What do you mean?” Alfred questioned.

“Tiger and his men used the trade as a decoy to capture Theresa.”

“What?! Tiger captured Theresa?!!”

“Yes boss. Tiger had the whole thing planned. The trade was just to get Theresa.”

“Where you now?”

“We are chasing after Tiger and his men.”

“Don’t chase him. Turn around and meet me at the empire.”

“But boss, we almost have them.” Caesar replied with hisgase fixed on the vans which were a few kilometers ahead of them.

“I said stop chasing them and meet me at the empire!” Alfred yelled.

“Okay boss.” Caesar replied, and Alfred disconnected the call, then he stepped on the brakes, bringing the car to an abrupt stop.

He glared at the vans which were driving away, then he swerved around and drove back to the empire.

•••••••••••

Four jeeps drove into the location and pulled up in front of a tall building.

The area was surrounded by tall tress and thick bushes. The building was the only building in the vast acres of land.

Tiger and his men alighted from the vans.

“Bring the lady out of the van and take her into building.” Tiger ordered.

One of his men carried Theresa out of the van and he took her into the building.

Theresa was still unconscious.

As Tiger began walking towards the building, his phone started ringing. He brought the phone put to check the caller.

Marco was the caller.

Tiger swiped the green icon on his screen and he placed the phone over his ears.

“Hello client?, we’ve arrived at the location you sent us.” He smirked as he continued walking towards the tall building.

“Did you successfully capture Theresa?” Marco’s voice boomed through the phone.

“Yeah. It was so easy. It was like taking candy from a baby.” Tiger replied, his smirk widening.

“Good job.” Marco commended. “Now, it’s time for the second phase of the plan.” He added.

“Okay. Brief me about the second phase of the plan.” Tiger said.

“You need no briefing about it. All you need to do now is call Alfred’s line and tell him to track your location if he wants to get Theresa back.” Marco replied.

Tiger immediately stopped on his tracks when he heard Marco’s statement.

“You want me to call the leader of the Gilberto family so he can track down our location?” He asked, furrowing his brows in disbelief.

“Yeah.” Marco replied.

“Are you fucking nuts?!!, are you trying to get me killed?!” Tiger yelled.

“Calm down Tiger, you have absolutely nothing to fear.” Marco said, and Tiger scoffed. “All you just have to do is call Alfred’s line and tell him to track down your location. After telling him that, you end the call and wait for five minutes before removing your sim card form your phone, then you and your men will get out of that building with the lady.”

“But why do you want him to track down this location?” Tiger asked confusedly.

“It’s a surprise. A very bug surprise.” Marco replied. “All you just have to do is follow my instructions and you’ll be fine.”

“Okay. Is there anything else we have to do?” Asked Tiger.

“Yes, there is something else you’re gonna do.” Marco replied.

••••••••••

Caesar drove into the empire thirty minutes later, and parked in the lot. He got down from the car and signalled at three men who rushed towards him afterwards.

“You,” he pointed his chin at one of the three hefty men dressed in black tailored suits.” “Take the injured lady in the car to her apartment and call doctor Antonio to come treat her bullet wound.” He instructed, and the man nodded, then he carried Matilda from the backseat and took her to her apartment.

Caesar was about to speak when his phone started ringing, and he brought it out to check the caller.

Alfred was the one calling.

He immediately answered the call and he placed the phone over his ears.

“Meet me at the computer lab now.” Alfred’s voice boomed through the phone, and the line went dead.

Caesar faced the two men standing in front of him, awaiting his orders.

“The both of you should take the four briefcases in the car and follow us.” He said, and he began walking to the computer lab with Rose walking beside him while the two men followed him from behind with four briefcases stacked with bundles of dollar notes in their hands.

They finally got to the lab after two minutes of walking.

All the computer operators in the lab were typing very fast on the buttons of their keyboards with their gazes fixed on the computer screens in front of them.

Alfred was sitting on a black leather chair, smoking a stick of cigar.

Both Caesar ans Rose walked towards Alfred and Caesar got on his knees immediately.

“I’m sorry they captured Theresa, boss.” He said in a apologetic tone with his head lowered.

His heart was hammering so hard and fast against his ribcage like it was gonna pop out.

He knew Alfred was angry and and he knew Alfred would surely punish him because Alfred had messaged him (Caesar) some minutes before they went for the trade that he (Caesar) should make sure nothing happens to Theresa during the trade.

But he failed, and now, he’s surely gonna get punished by Alfred.

He was scared but he didn’t make it obvious that he was. If Alfred should notice that he’s scared, Alfred would surely kill him because he hates fear.

Stacy who was operating her laptop prayed silently that Alfred should forgive her boyfriend, because his (Alfred) punishments are worse than being in hell.

Alfred remained quiet, watching Caesar while smoking his cigar.

The lab was silent and only the beeping sounds of systems and computers could be heard.

The silence alone was sending cold fear down Caesar’s spine but he dared not show it.

Rose was also standing behind him with her head lowered. She was scared to look at Alfred’s face.

Alfred puffed out a huge amount of smoke from his mouth, and he finally broke the long silence.

“Get up, Caesar.” He ordered in a cold tone.

Caesar thought his ear was dysfunctional when he heard Alfred’s statement. So did everyone in the lab.

He slowly raised his head to look at Alfred’s face.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“I should get up?” He asked to be sure whether he heard the correct thing.

“Yes, get up ’cause I’m not punishing you.” Alfred replied, and his eyes went wide.

“Get up. We have some motherfuckers to catch.” He added.

“Thank you boss.” Caesar bowed and he rose to his feet.

Alfred took a long puff from his cigarette and he dropped it on the floor before crushing it with his shoe, then he rose to his feet.

“Theresa’s kidnap was a planned work. It was well planned and perfectly executed.” He said with a smirk on his face as he buried his hands in his pockets. “Someone in my empire is giving out information to my enemies. Someone close is the only one who can do that job. Someone close enough to know about my activities.” He paused for a while, then continued. “I’ll catch the person or people later, but first, let’s go get my sweetheart.”

He then brought out his phone and he dialed Douglas’s line.

Douglas picked up at the second ring.

“What’s the status of your mission, Douglas?” Alfred asked.

“The mission has just been completed. We’ve taken down the organizations working under the Marcel family, and we’ve also hijacked Dante’s major shipments. I’m sure that old man is gonna go bankrupt soon.” Douglas laughed.

“That’s good. Stacy will send you a coordinate very soon. Meet me at that location with Jeff and Shikita.” Alfred instructed.

“Alright man.” Douglas replied, then Alfred disconnected the call.

“Stacy.” Alfred called out, tucking his phone back into his pocket.

“Yes boss?” Stacy responded, turning her chair around to look at Alfred.

“How many minutes has Theresa been kidnapped?” He asked.

“Fifty-nine minutes, ten seconds.” Stacy replied.

“When it completes an hour, log into the tracker I secretly planted on her and find out her coordinate.” He instructed.

Stacy nodded, and she faced her laptop.

“You.” He pointed at one of the computer operators who was a guy.

“Yes boss?” The guy responded.

“Show me the security footage of the mobster who came to my mansion some hours ago.” He instructed.

The guy nodded and pressed the buttons of his keyboard for some seconds, then a security footage started playing on a large TV screen.

It was the footage of the mobster who came to tell Alfred that godfather Gilberto wanted Alfred to accompany him.

“Pause the footage and zoom in the picture of that bastard so I can see his face clearly.” Alfred said.

The footage was zoomed in and the face of the mobster was sharp and clear.

It was an hefty man with a bald head and tattoos on his neck.

“Caesar, Rose.. Go and find this bastard and lock him in underground cell vault before I return.” Alfred ordered without taking his gaze off the mobster’s picture.

“Understood boss.” Both Rose and Caesar bowed their heads, then they walked out of the lab.

“Boss, I’ve logged into her tracker and I’ve gotten her coordinate.” Stacy informed.

“Send the coordinate to Douglas right now.” Alfred instructed.

Stacy did as instructed.

Alfred’s phone started ringing and he took it out of pocket. It was a call from an unknown source.

Alfred swiped the green icon on the screen of his phone, and he put the phone on loud speaker.

“Hello there, Alfred Gilberto!” Tiger’s voiced boomed through the phone.

“And who the fuck am I speaking with?” Alfred replied in a calm tone.

“Tiger, the emperor of Tigers empire.” Tiger replied.

“So? Why the fuck are you calling me?” Alfred asked, still sounding calm and composed.

He’s really angry right now, but he’s trying his best to compose himself so as not to give Tiger the impression that he’s hurt by Theresa’s kidnap.

If Tiger knows how hurt he his by Theresa’s kidnap, Tiger might use it against him.

“Seriously Alfred? We captured your woman and you still sound calm?” Tiger scoffed loudly. “Anyways, I called to tell you that you won’t be seeing your woman again unless you come to get her, and to get her, you have track down our location.” He paused for a while, then continued. “You can track down the location of this number I’m calling you with if you still want to see your woman again. And you have only fifteen minutes to get here or else, your woman will be history.”

The line went dead immediately and Alfred tucked his phone into his pocket.

Stacy also heard their conversation because the phone was on loudspeaker.

“Boss?” Stacy called out and Alfred levelled his gaze on her. “Something is really off about that phone call. I think Tiger’s trying to lure you into a deadly trap.”

“I know.” Alfred replied, taking his gaze off her. He remained quiet for a while before speaking.

“The project I gave you, is it ready?”

“Yes boss,” Stacy replied, beaming a wide smile. “Project Alfred is ready and good to go.”

A devilish smile broke out of Alfred’s lips, and he spoke.

“Time to take down that bastard called Tiger.”
