Amy received a notification sound. She was seated on her bed and her fingers danced around the laptop keyboard. Dylan had just sent her some data. It was the Italian organization's information.
They are called the Dark waters. They are an underworld organization operating in Italy mainly dealing with drugs, illegal arms, and had recently gone into human trafficking and it seemed the authorities were onto them on this one.
Amy could guess they had killed a lot to stay in this business. They were currently running Italy through the strip clubs they had opened in different parts of the country. They had a leader, named King. But there was no information on him or her. His second in command, however, was more active. His alias was Sparrow. Dylan managed to gather his information.
The computer notified her of Dylan's request to connect to her computer. She intercepted right away. He had earlier asked to terminate the connection for him to send her the data and because he had company to take care of. She could not imagine how dangerous the situation he was in. She needed to send him away soon otherwise she just could no longer risk his life.
"What did you mean?" She asked as her eyes skimmed through the information. It was a lot and very overwhelming but she had all day.
"When you sent me here, you could probably guess that those people were connected to the Dark Waters?" He asked.
"Of course."
"Well, you were right. They are one as in their leader is one and the same, the King, but they can't just infiltrate each other's countries. That would be too suspicious especially the guys here whose activities are being monitored because of the human trafficking. So the easiest way..."
"The corporate gala", Amy answered.
The corporate gala allowed and presented investment opportunities to different businesses. The big shots in the business industries like Zachery Frost, who were hard to meet, would be present and other people would have the chance to mingle with such ones and possibly impress them with a business idea. They would be able to gain an investment or form partnerships on certain projects with the big guys. Of course, this was not compulsory. Some people went there to simply have an overview of what's going on in the business world and gain a bit more knowledge and insight.
For the Dark Waters, they would use the corporate gala to 'form' a partnership in the name of an investment for their current project. This was something most companies did. Once completed, they can operate in Italy and U.S.A without seeming suspicious. To the outside world, it would be viewed as a great way to contribute to each country's economic development when in truth.....
Amy shook her head. "Unbelievable."
"Yeah. And they will send the gentleman whose information I've just sent you", he said.
Amy looked through the data and found the person's information. "Aldo Torre. But he's only the second in command. You would think the King would personally want to take care of this to make sure nothing goes wrong", she shook her head.
She was sure the King had been notified of her knowledge on their dealings. Another reality check reminding her that she could not relax. Worry overtook her as she glanced down at her baby bump. The more she digs into these people, the more she feels it's too dangerous for her cupcake and Zachery.
She sighed before looking back at the computer screen. As she looked through the data, she noticed something odd.
"Dylan, who told you they would send Aldo? I have all of the organization's activities but nothing on that."
"Well, I caught some of their men and forced the information of them", his tone was haughty as he spoke. Quite a brag.
She rolled her eyes. "Say something believable."
"Fine. I'm sleeping with Aldo's girl", he grumbled.
"What did I say about attracting trouble? Dylan-"
"I know. I know. But she's so hot boss!"
"You're a technician before a womanizer. Use your hands to get information not your d*ck."
"I do use my hands..... and sometimes my d*ck. Well more of the latter."
Amy groaned in frustration. "Why do I have you for an assistant?"
"Well, I'm likeable..... and fuckable. But boss, you'd understand me if you saw her. If anything you'd steal her away from me. You sound more like a cassanova than I am."
Amy's lips twitched. "How would you know when you've never met me?"
"That voice of yours. Don't ever hack my phone when she's around! Anyway, I have to go. I have something to take care of."
"Leave Aldo's woman alone", she warned. "I can't rescue you from there. And start making plans to leave that place. These guys are more dangerous than I thought. By the way, did you take care of the company you had?"
"I shook them off. I'm safe where I am, don't worry."
"Good. Just stay safe. And leave Aldo's woman alone! Go home! Alone!" She stressed the last word. She could not help but worry for him. His womanizing behavior would get him in trouble and these people were not ones to trifle with.
She heard him chuckle. "Boss, how did you know I was on my way to do her?"
He terminated the connection before she could say another word. 'This punk', Amy mused as she went back to reading through the information.
Well, that punk's playful expression disappeared immediately the connection was terminated; to be replaced by a cold one. He thought back to the call he had made to Also and a smirk snaked its way onto his lips. He had two dates to attend: one with Esmeralda and another with Aldo.
He took out his phone and dialed her number. She picked up on the first ring. He could not imagine how stressed out she was during the past hour.
"Dylan?"
"I'm done here. I'll be there in ten minutes."
"Dylan! Those people are still down there. They'll hurt you! Why won't you listen to me?" She started sobbing into the phone.
Something tugged at his heart strings when he heard her cry. "Ssh! It's okay. Don't cry. Remember what I said the other day and earlier?"
That he would not be the one getting killed and that she should trust him. She remembered this. When he received her silence followed by a sniffle as a response, a warm smile stretched on his lips.
"Don't worry baby, I'm not going anywhere."
