Mafia Kings: Valentino: Chapter 103

I didn’t go down to breakfast. I would have thrown up anything I tried to eat.

Nobody bothered me until 11 AM when a foot soldier knocked on my door. “The boss wants to see you in his study.”

I shuffled downstairs to see what the Devil had to say.

Don Vicari looked up at me angrily when I walked in –

I noticed the runway was in the exact opposite direction from the chapel.

I wished we could drive past it and keep on going forever.

No such luck.

The cars parked about 200 feet back from the airstrip.

Don Vicari and I sat in the back seat of the SUV.

“Here they come,” the driver announced.

I watched out the window as a passenger jet came in for a landing.

It was a brand new Gulfstream – completely unlike the outdated relic Nicolo and I had flown over in.

I started to get out of the SUV –
