I watched in horror as chaos erupted in the back room of the meat processing plant I had been unwittingly herded to. Men were diving for cover, chairs were flipped over, tables upended, and clouds of smoke from the gunfire obscured my vision.

My God.

It looked like a battle zone.

And I was standing at ground zero, frozen with terror.

Counting was not going to help me here.

I snapped out of my daze when something hot whizzed past my face.

A bullet.

Holy shit. People are literally trying to kill each other in here.

I needed to move my ass now.

A big hand grabbed my upper arm and yanked painfully hard. I looked up to see Papà’s sharp gaze darting over the room, shooting at targets I couldn’t see with the pistol in his other hand. He yelled something at me as he led us over to the wall where a heavy wooden table had been overturned, but I couldn’t hear a word over the pandemonium engulfing us. Putting his hand on my head, he shoved me down behind the table and placed his body as much in front of mine as he could. He continued to shoot at the black-clothed men who had burst into the room with their automatic weapons.

The mafia, in general, seemed to be their target.

And it didn’t appear to matter who of us got killed.

I felt like I needed a gun, too, but it wasn’t like I walked around with a concealed weapon in my purse at all times. Mace would have been useless in a gun fight.

I could barely see or hear anything, but I did notice when something went flying through the air, emitting a stream of smoke. This smoke was different from the kind the gun powder produced. It was white and thick and reminded me of a…smoke bomb? It grew so heavy after a while that I couldn’t even see Papà, who was crouched right next to me.

All of a sudden, a dark form emerged from the smoke and snatched me from my position on the floor. I immediately started clawing and kicking. I’d be damned if I was going to get kidnapped without a fight. This guy was strong, though. He didn’t budge an inch.

“Roxy, stop! It’s me!”

Some of the smoke cleared, allowing me to see my attacker’s face.

I stopped fighting.

“Ace.” Thank God.

“We have to get out of here now.”

He hauled me forward, dodging the hanging meats and scattered debris. Gunfire was still going off behind us. Men were shouting expletives and moaning in pain. I just prayed we didn’t step on any bodies.

“Wait!” I pulled on Ace’s arm. “Where’s Papà? We have to go back for him!”

“We’ve got him,” Ace shouted over his shoulder. “He’s okay.”

Trusting he was telling the truth, I ran at full-speed behind him, my hand tightly clasped in his. All I could see through the smoke was Ace’s back, but I knew we weren’t going in the same direction that Papà and I had entered through. I figured all the bosses and the Gabbianos would have made for the exit like rats abandoning a sinking ship.
