"Are you sure we're at the right place?" I asked, positioning myself against the wall.

Luca grabbed his gun from his pocket, gesturing the other men to come follow. We had came here fully prepared because we didn't want to leave this place with losing anymore of our men.

These men had families and loved ones. It was too much to risk their lives in order to save Alena-they had devoted themselves to the mafia and they knew the risks when they joined. They knew their families were going to be compensated if they died but their lives were too valuable, any amount of money couldn't replace that. "I'm sure." He replied, nodding.

"You're confident?"

"Let's go then," I signaled for my men to make a move, each of the groups to crash the entrances and wait at the exit.

Luca had spent weeks investigating and finding this place. At first, he was unsure because this place didn't have any suspicious activities during the first few days but he trusted his guts and he investigated further.

Luca stayed close behind me and before we knew it, we had already rushed in.

We had expected a dozen of men to come running after us with guns pointing at our heads but we came into a dark and quiet hallway. The only sound available was the leaky pipes and droplets of water on the already wet floor. to look at Luca, who seemed just as surprised.

However, we marched forward as we looked around-this could be a trap and we could get ourselves killed. We needed to search every room for any clues we could find. We weren't going to leave this place emptyhanded.

"I'll search here. Get Angelo to follow you," Luca pointed.

I nodded and within seconds, Angelo was already standing beside me. We were careful with our steps as we walked forward, glancing at every corner until we reached the end. My eyes remained focus on the door, wanting to open it. It didn't surprise when it was locked.

I stepped aside as Angelo went forward to kick the door open which only took him two tries.
