TEN YEARS LATER…
I
lieutenant, Alex. Forensics is busy sweeping the scene around us.
A female, late twenties, throat slit, ditched on the driveway of a house
owned by Dante Capri. We watch in silence as they zip the pale body into a
bag. I turn my nose up as I look at the dried blood covering her neck.
“Let me guess, mafia?” I ask Alex.
He looks at me warily and gives me a sharp nod.
These assholes think they own the streets. It’s been escalating rapidly
the last few weeks.
There was a shooting at a church. Warehouses burned to the
ground. I’ve seen firsthand the destruction they cause.
My dad, the commissioner, works with Luca Russo, the head of the
Russo family. Recently, I have been keeping tabs on the whole organization
to report back to my dad. It’s why I am here today. I can still see the piles of
men outside the church. It seems now they’ve reduced themselves to killing
women.
“Are we making an arrest?” I don’t know where to start with this mess.
Alex stands from where he was examining a bloody handprint. “We
have to now. It was called in by the public.”
I hide my smile. I’ve wanted to bring one of these criminals in for
months. My dad always dismisses the idea to keep the peace.
“Why would they just leave her here in broad daylight? Seems pretty
dumb to me.” I gesture at the row of suburban homes facing us. It is
completely out of character for this tight-knit family.
He rubs a hand over his face, his tattooed forearm peeking out from his
jacket.
“Probably to make a statement. If I’m correct, the stiff is Romano’s
daughter. This is her brother’s home. They think they’re above the law.
With your dad on their side, they are the law.”
Monsters. All of them. My fists clench as my heart picks up a gear. “So,
this guy will actually get put away?”
He shakes his head, which deflates me.
In the six years I’ve been doing this job, no matter what their crime
seems to be, they always get away with it.
Staring at the body bag as the guys lift it and carry it into the van, I
wonder what she did to deserve such an end?
I wrack my brain, trying to think of who we can bring in for this. Years
of cases, I almost feel like I’m on a first name basis with the big players.
Luca, the big boss, is certainly a no.
