Chapter thirty one

Philip was worried sick the night has ended and he has not found his boss,

He heard Antonio's cartel had made an inspection check throughout the whole of New York and a lot of disloyal were left for dead.

He knew the reason why and it was not because of they were fishing, it was a guise to look for amber.

It was routine for the cartels to fish out rotten tomatoes when they wanted to send out a message

And they sure passed out one hell of a message,

The cops were all on the street, the city was under siege for a while and later, it was as if it did not happen, it only left a pile of missing people, and the underground shook,

That was how powerful this one man was he never operated directly,

He had loyal lieutenants who held big turf on their own and when he needed something done, 

He just passed the word and loyalty pays the bill, and as for tonight it sure did.

He wondered if they have found her, as at midnight the whole city became calm again.

Was she dead or alive he did not know but he knew something was there Antonio wasn't telling?

He was sure Antonio was interested in his boss, nobody puts such energy out for just a student.

If that was the case he knew he was saved by the mercy of that love and he was grateful Antonio had set his eyes on her.

But he continued his search, he needed probable information to pass onto the don, 

And if he did not have any he would be punished, so he stayed out the night still ransacking the streets and flushing out information.

And when morning came he was still outside his eyes was heavy with sleep and he momentarily dozed off and on, until his phone rang.

"Hello," he said without looking at the name on the screen, he was dead tired and the time was already noon.

Hello, he heard a soft voice on the other end, it was his boss, immediately he stood up.

Boss where are you?

Are you safe?

Please where are you?

What happened?

Calm down Philip I am fine and I am safe, I will call you up later, I just want you to know I am okay for now tell my grandfather that I am fine, there is no need to bring carl back to New York.

Okay, boss, I will he say elatedly.

Good, she said and hung up.

He could not hold his excitement and he did not show it in front of the boys he went straight to the hotel don Vincent stayed at.

As he walked up the stairs he saw Robert a Shaw she had gone to see the don, she flashed him a quick smile as she walked past him.

He just nodded and walked continuously not turning to look at the woman,

For one she was not attractive and two she was a cop, three age had hit her double from the stress of her job.

And lastly, he knew he was in to be punished and nothing made light of his situation he just hoped it was something he could take not death or losing his job as each would be the end of him.

As he walked into the floor it was the last in the building, don Vincente was fully dressed in a customized suit, or was all black and fitted his shoes, the old man looked more like he was going to run for office than a don,

Living his last days.

He stood by the window watching the city, as the door opened gently he knew who had come.
