Page 6 of My best friends little sister

I jump off the couch and head to the kitchen to buzz in the pizza delivery guy. ''Whats that'' I see angelica peek up from beside the couch ''its the security intercom, the guards stop anyone at the front gate and we buzz them in'' I walk past her on the couch and pat her head

She watches my every move as I open the door for the pizza.

I tip the guy and walk to the kitchen counter to place the boxes down ''how many slices do you guys want'' I grab 3 paper plates from the cabinet and pick up some slices for each of us ''gimme 3.

No wait 4, actually no 3. No fuck it I want 5'' Mateo says and I chuckle ''fatass, angelica how many do you want?

'' she looks up at me and smiles but I cant help but feel its a sad smile ''I'm actually not really hungry'' Mateo stands to collect his plate and gives me a slightly concerned look ''angel you havent touched any of your snacks you have to eat something'' I put 2 slices on my plate and 1 on angelicas before walking over and sitting back in my spot, i grab angels legs and lay them over my lap before placing her plate in her lap.

She looks at me and looks down at her pizza but doesnt touch it.

She focuses her attention back on the tv and I take a bite of my pizza watching her, she doesnt touch her slice.

I lean to her ear and whisper ''I can take off the pepperoni if you dont like it''she turns to me with a small smile and shakes her head ''no its okay I like pepperoni'' I lean back into the couch and watch the movie.

A couple minutes pass and shes still not touched her slice and I'm finished with mine, she looks at my plate and nudges hers towards me ''here, take mine'' I frown at her and refuse, why wont she eat it?

''I can make you something else sweetheart'' I whisper in her ear loud enough that only she can hear it, yet again I'm met with a no thank you

Once the movie is over I check my phone 9:15pm ''Mateo, we gotta go'' he groans in his spot and i stand, grabbing his arm and pulling him up ''angelica we gotta go work for a few hours are you gunna be okay here alone?

'' I know we have security but I'm a little worried about leaving her here tonight, its not the same as being alone during the day

Once we arrive at the safehouse I give everyone a final rundown of the plan, we may get ambushed so we need to be fully prepared and ready to fight. Not a single person is to let their guard down. Once everyone is fully geared and armed we head out to the dock to collect our shipment

I walk to the man holding his clipboard, not looking up at me.

''Evening Daniel, everything ready early huh?

'' he seems shocked by my presence and I raise a brow in confusion ''Mr Santino, no your shipment comes in next Thursday?

I have it written down here'' fuck I knew it.

Before I could respond I hear a gunshot and Daniel is suddenly flopped on the floor surrounded by a puddle of blood

I feel the bile rise in my throat, angel.

..fuck ''what the fuck are you talking about'' if he so much as touches a hair on her head I'll slit his fucking throat.

''Ive noticed you've got a bella ragazza with you now.

One of my men saw you at the mall with a small beautiful woman'' (pretty girl)I'm consumed with anger but I have to bite my tongue.

I can feel Mateo tense beside me, his breathing harsh but he stays in his stance. ''I want her. How much?''

I'm so close to pulling the fucking trigger but I cant, his men are surrounding us guns at our heads. We wont make it out of here alive. ''Shes not for sale'' I'm trying to remain calm, trying to retain my anger and reason with him but its hard when I want to rip his fucking throat open.

Mateo is in a panic knowing we are surrounded, theres no way out of this alive. I hear vanni let out a sick laugh as he walks towards us ''I expected that reaction, I knew you wouldn't give her up willingly. So I just had to arrange for it to be done, unwillingly.''

I hear him start to retreat and I'm flooded with pure panic, I turn to Mateo who has the same panicked expression as me. We are both thinking the same thing, angel. At home, alone. FUCK

I bolt to one of the vans we arrived in jumping in the drivers seat, Mateo following suit in the passenger seat. As we drive I see him constantly trying to dial angelica but no response. About 8 missed calls before we made it to the house.

3 of our security, on the floor. A puddle of blood surrounding each of them. Shit. before I can think of anything I'm running into the house guns blazing, literally. The sight before me is gut wrenching but I'm unable to look away

Angelica stood in the kitchen, a large knife in her hand and blood covering her clothes and face.

She stands there still, not a single bit of movement.

I slowly make my way towards her with my gun still at hand and look down.

A man lays on the kitchen floor, a handgun beside him.

The first thing I notice is the stab wound, right in the face.

I look closer to see multiple stab wounds on his chest, one in his leg and one in the middle of his hand.

I try to contain myself and turn to angel, still frozen in place with the bloody knife in her hand.

I place my gun on the counter and walk slowly towards angel
