I sit in my home office for about an hour, studying every piece of information I have on angelicas father when I hear a light knock on my door. ''Come in!'' I shout to the person on the other side.

To my surprise Angelica walks in. her gaze fixed on the floor and her fingers fiddling with her stuffed animal thats in her hands as she stands there awkwardly.

I close the file and lean back in my chair watching her.

''Hey baby, why are you awake?'' I pat my thigh and motion for her to come sit on my lap.

She walks over hesitant and stands beside me awkwardly so I pull her down into my lap. ''I had a nightmare and when I woke up you were gone'' she cuddles up to my chest and relaxes at my touch as I lightly twirl her hair around my finger.

''Boss. We found the rat, cell 4. Get here as soon as possible''

Angel stirs in my arms and I kiss her forehead. ''I'm sorry sweetheart, I need to go. Ill call sully in to keep you company'' she nods against my chest.

I carry her to the living room and set her up on the couch with some pillows and blankets. ''Try and get some sleep princess, ill be back soon'' she smiles up at me and leans in, giving me a soft kiss. ''I love you'' she whispers against my lips.

Once I arrive at the warehouse I make my way downstairs to cell 4. I'm met with the delightful sound of pleading mixed with punching. My kind of music. I grab my gun from my waistband and make my way inside, instantly freezing in my tracks.

He looks up from the floor. His face bloody and beaten and a few teeth missing. He gives me a small smile, almost like he feels guilty. ''Boss...I'm sorry''

Dimitri is an old friend of mine. I haven't known him as long as ive known Ivan, but the 3 of us met when we were young and became an unstoppable trio. He may not be as highly ranked to me as Ivan but he was one of my good friends. Someone I trusted. Someone I treated like a brother.

He screams in pain but still refuses to speak, so I do it again, and again, and again until finally after 5 teeth he gives in. ''fine FINE! I will talk!'' I step back and watch as he spits out blood, his teeth laying on the floor beside him.

I turn to Ivan, signalling for him to take note of the address before turning back to Dimitri.

''What did he need you for? What was your job?

'' he hesitates but quickly realises who's in control here.

''He needed a man on the inside. He wanted me to take you down from the inside out'' hes holding back, not telling the full truth.

I grab my gun and aim it at his other knee before shooting.

I aim my gun at his temple ''you fucked up big time Dimitri. I treated you like a brother and this is how you repay me? Nobody double crosses Dante Santino and gets away with it'' and then...

BANG

Hes dead.

I turn to Ivan, dusting off my dress shirt. ''I want everyone to be ready. We are raiding Giovanni's safehouse...tonight'' he nods before leaving the room. I need to let sully know ill be back a lot later than I planned.

I smile at his message knowing angel feels exactly the same about him. Always asking when she can see sully again. Asking if he would do things with her like take her to the movies, bake with her, do things with her that a dad should do. I'm glad they have a bond like that.

I decide to text angel and let her know ill be home late as well.
