The Mafia's Babies by Kaycee Romano (rocket ebook reader txt) 📖

"Sergey." Dmitri spoke. 

He thought that Sergey was going to be mad at him because he had ditched important yet boring paperwork to be with the Italians but he was surprised to hear that his brother had come bearing good news. 

"He got information on William." Dmitri looked up. "He found something from Matthew's file." 

"Thank heavens!" Leonardo exclaimed but Michelia was not as happy as she should have been. Of course she was happy that some news had been received and the information could be used to find her darling niece and nephew BUT they had found something that she had not been able to get her hands on? That hurt her ego. Just a little bit.

"I will come  with you." Mateo said and Dmitri nodded. 

They were ready  to leave the place and towards when they were interrupted.

"Wait." Alessia said. 

"What is it?" River asked. 

She took in a deep breath. "Did anyone care to check the most obvious places he could be hiding the kids in?" 

"What do you mean?" Michelia turned in her seat. 

"Call it a psycho intuition." Alessia sighed, suppressing a burp that came up her throat. "But I think we have been running in circles while he hid the kids right under our nose." 

"She does make sense." Dmitri said. "Quick, think of all the places that he could be hiding them in." 

"Right under our nose." Alessia emphasized. 

"My old apartment?" River was the first to say. 

"Mine too." Mateo said. 

"The apartment we stayed at before the accident." Alessia nodded.

"The ranch." Michelia said. 

"Wherever Victor... I mean, William used to live?" Leonardo said.

"We will find some info from whatever Sergey has." Dmitri nodded.  

"What about Jacqueline's apartment?" Alessia added. 

"So let's split and search." Michelia said. "I will go to River's, River to Mateo's, Leo to the apartment we stayed at."

"I will fly to Wyoming." Adam said. 

"Dmitri and I will meet up with Sergey and find out where William used to live." Mateo said.

"And I will go check in Jacqueline's." Alessia said, getting up from the couch and wobbling. 

"Are you sure about that?" Dmitri asked, his eyebrows furrowed. The woman really didn't look like she was in any shape to step out of the house. 

Alessia sniffed and pulled out her gun from her waistband, aiming at the picture of her grandmother on the wall, and shooting without  waiting a moment to stabilize her arm. The bullet went right through the area between her arrogantly raised eyebrows. 

Davis and George blasted into the room with guns at the ready. 

"Sia being Sia." River shrugged at them while they nodded. They were used to her antics by now. 

Dmitri was too stunned to speak while Adam flexed her jaw to prevent the proud smile from showing. 

"I only do things I am sure of." Her eyes quickly flickered to Adam, herself finding a double meaning of what she said. Something that all the other worried men missed but Michelia caught on. A smile appeared on her face as she looked over at her fellow Adam-Alessia shipper and River nodded, confirming what she had interpreted.

"You two are going with her." Mateo pointed at River as he spoke to George and Davis. They did not know what the hell he was talking about, but they knew their job so they nodded. Wherever River went, they were to follow. 

Mateo turned to the rest of them. "Same goes to the rest of you. Go in with back up." 

His eyes landed on Alessia and they narrowed. "Don't get too cocky." 

Alessia rolled her eyes. "I am not taking any chances with my niece and nephew, Mateo. Chillax." 

"Alright, let' go!" Adam clapped, and the others nodded in agreement as they got ready to leave.

"Mateo Adesso." Sergey Petrov laughed as Mateo walked in with Dmitri. 

"You know you are in my lair right now right?" He asked. "I could kill you right now and right here."

"Seriously bro?" Dmitri rolled his eyes, his Russian accent making him all the more funny. 

"What? Can't I even welcome my arch nemesis?" Sergey took a sip of his whiskey. 

"Yeah, sorry to break it to you old man, but the enmity is sort of in a halt. At least until we find the fucker who killed your sister and attacked my wife and kids." Mateo said. 

"She is not your wife, Adesso. I know it and you know it so why pretend?" Sergey got up from his seat. 

"She will soon be my wife. I know it and you know it. So why not start getting used to the idea?" Mateo really did not want to waste any more time but he knew Sergey, the more annoyed he acted the more annoying he will get. 

He hated how he had to interact with these idiots to get to the bottom of everything that had been going on. 

"Alright, let's find this motherfucker." Sergey said.
