MAXIM

“What the fuck did you do?” I ask, pacing up and down the length of the warehouse, shaking my head.

My father has gone rogue.

I glance back up at the young Italian girl strung up by her wrists in the center of the abandoned warehouse. “And why the fuck didn’t you consult anyone first?”

My father crosses his arms over his chest, standing tall as he walks toward me. “Who do you think you’re talking to, Maxim?”

I narrow my eyes at him. “This is Remy Morrone’s niece.” I point out, shaking so hard I can hardly believe how angry I am. “We had enough on our plate trying to fight the Irish, but you open fire on the fucking Italians too?”

My father snaps, slamming his fist hard into my jaw. “Remember your place,” he growls, eyes flashing with that fierce rage I grew to fear as a child. “I don’t have to consult anyone before doing anything.” His eyes snap to the innocent girl strung up in his basement. “They needed to be sent a warning about trying to bring in reinforcements from other cities.”

“How is this going to get them to back off?” I ask, knowing I need to take a more diplomatic approach rather than attack his decision head on.

“Because I’ll snatch one of their family members on a weekly basis until they agree to a truce.” His jaw clenches as he keeps his gaze fixed on the girl. “We’ve no reason to go to war with them, but I won’t stand by while they become stronger right under our noses.”

I don’t point out that he’s being a fucking hypocrite, considering that’s exactly what he’s doing with Vito. Instead, I turn my attention to the girl. She’s knocked out and hasn’t woken up yet to the nightmare that has become her reality. My father is sick, even by my standards. He’ll do unspeakable things to her, that I’m sure of.

“Does this girl even have any part to play in any of this?” I ask.

His nostrils flare. “She’s Remy’s niece. That’s the part she plays.”

“You can’t choose your family,” I murmur under my breath.

“What was that?” he snaps.

I shake my head. “Nothing, you do what you want, Father. Why did you ask me here? I thought we were having lunch.”

“A change of plan. I want to show you something instead.” His eyes narrow, but he paces away from the girl toward the back office. “I want to discuss a different matter.”

I follow him reluctantly, glancing back once more at the woman. She can’t be a lot older than me, maybe twenty-six years old, but she’s going to be lucky to walk out of her alive after my father’s through with her. “Where are we going?” I ask.

“Quit asking questions and follow me.” He walks past the office and out into the main yard, leading me toward the dock.

A large vessel is docked there, which my father approaches. Someone I don’t recognize disembarks and I watch as my father goes to greet him.
