5. Ace of The Spades
Anna came back from her last delivery duty by the late evening. She strolled inside the kitchen and went towards Mr. Lee. He was resting on a chair and his face lit up with a bright smile upon the interval of her.
"Anna-yah! Come here." He gestured her to sit on the chair opposite to him. Anna smiled back at him and sat on the chair. "You don't look so happy. Still pissed off!" he jerked an eyebrow and looked at her amusedly.
"Until I get home and do what I need to do, I don't think I can cool down." Anna sighed.
"This is my first time seeing you being pissed for long." He intertwined his fingers on top of the table. "Is the person behind your current mood still alive?" he asked amusedly.
"Wish I have the gut to kill someone." She rolled over her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. "He will be six feet under the ground by now."
"I'm happy that you carry that disorder." He said unsmiling.
Anna chuckled softly, "Do you really think I would kill someone if I don't have that disorder? You know I can overcome my disorder if I wanted to." She jested.
"I know, my daredevil angel." He widely grinned at her.
"Oh by the way, do you have any more kimchi left. Sarah asked me to bring some on my way back home."
"There's plenty. I'll pack it for her right away." He said and stood up from his place.
Anna went back home with the parcel of kimchi.
"Who's up for Kimchi!!" She shouted as she entered the house. Strolling into the kitchen, she unpacked the kimchi and placed it on a clean plate and then marched towards Sarah's room. "I'm in Sarah's room. If you want kimchi, come!" She shouted over her shoulder as she entered her room.
"Coming!!" Jasmine shouted from her room.
"Me too!" Fiona shrieked from her room.
Anna watched her sister busy working on her laptop. She came around and curled up at the edge of the bed and sat there.
"Finally, you're here, little sister. How was your day?" Sarah asked glancing at her.
Anna was interrupted before she could even say a word. "Her day was just awesome!" Jasmine whooped as she strolled inside and Fiona followed her behind. "Our little sister was blushing today." She added. Fiona and Sarah stared cheek to cheek at their little sister with a spark of interest.
"Rearrllyyy-and what's the reason behind her blush?" Fiona asked as she shoots teasing smile at Anna.
"Four handsome brothers. One of the brothers made her blush." Jasmine wiggled her eyebrows while Anna disapprovingly shook her head. Then she told them of the incident that took place between Anna and Leo.
"That's so cute! Did you ask for their names?"
"We've introduced each other. The one who made Anna blush was Leo-but about the other-I can't quite remember their names-" Jasmine said as she creased her brows in thought.
"Alesso, Roberto and Nicolo." Anna reminded her. Sarah, who was busy in her laptop, looked up from her laptop and creased her brows at Anna.
"Oh yes, Alesso, Roberto and Nicolo," Jasmine repeated.
"Are they Italian?" Sarah asked.
"I don't know but the way they talk with thick accent seems Italian." Jasmine thought out loud.
"Are you talking about these guys?" Sarah asked and turned her laptop screen towards her sisters.
Anna and Jasmine glanced at each other when they recognised the guys in the picture.
"Yes, they are. What are you doing with their pictures? Do you know them?" Jasmine asked.
"No, I don't know them. I'm just collecting information on them." Sarah answered and twitched her lips to the side.
"But why? Didn't you said that you were collecting information on-" Jasmine words died midway when she looked at Sarah in wide eyes open as realisation took upon her.
"Yes, they are mafias. They are the grandsons of De Luca's Don." Sarah stated.
"No wonder why they were all so afraid of him." Anna scowled and thought out loud.
"This guy here is Leonardo De Luca, the eldest son of Antonio De Luca." Sarah started to officially introduce the four brothers over the picture. "Roberto De Luca-the second, Alessandro De Luca-the third and Nicolo De Luca-the last." She continued. Then she swiped to the next picture where a beautiful lady in long black evening gown was displayed on the screen. "And this beautiful but deadly lady here-is Severina Galbino De Luca, their mother and daughter of the Galbino's Don."
"Galbino Don!" Jasmine exclaimed. "Is it a mafia too?" She asked and Sarah nodded at her. "How many of them are there in this world?"
"There are lots and I have listed out the top five mafias from around."
"And what are those?"
"The De Luca Clan- The Galbino Nation- The Sylvester Squad- The Harondale Empire and The Wayland Kingdom."
"Clan- Nation- Squad- Empire- Kingdom! Are they some kind of gaming zone? What fancy titles for some mobsters!!" Fiona snorted.
"I know right! Even they had these marked tattoos on them as a family symbol." Sarah added amusedly. "De Luca's has eagle marked tattoo, Galbino- Scorpion marked tattoo-"
"Wait!" Jasmine interrupted. "Severina is the daughter of Galbino's Don and is married to De Luca's Son, does that mean she'll have both the tattoo marked on her?" She wondered.
"No! Stupid." Sarah said. "These symbols identify only their true birth family." She explained. "Where was I-oh yes the marked tattoo. The Wayland has Serpent tattoo, Sylvester- Tiger head and Harondale- Ancient Dragon." She continued.
"Anyone can have those tattoos marked on them," Jasmine remarked.
"Yes, I know. But you know what these families studies about their tattoos too and only these families can know the differences between the fake and real families symbol once they have a look at it."
"Wow!! That's extraordinaire!" Fiona exclaimed.
"I'm impressed, sister! You sure are an information digger." Fiona said looking amusedly at Sarah.
"I still have lots to research on these five mafias and their history."
"So they are involved in mafias," Anna confirmed to herself.
"But keep it a secret. Don't let them know that you know about them being involved in the mafia or they'll make you disappear from the world." Sarah warned playfully.
"Now that she knows he's in the mafia, she looks more pissed," Jasmine said slowly to no one in particular but her words were indirectly pointed out for Anna.
"And here I was thinking that our little sister has finally begun with her love story." Fiona cooed in a teasing way to which Anna scowled loudly.
"I'm going to the Spades," Anna informed and marched out from the room.
"Yeah, the Spades needs its Ace. Try not to destroy the Spades." Sarah said over her back. She then turned back to her laptop and noticed that there was a notification on her desktop. She clicked on that and smirked staring at her screen. "Oh ladies, we've got work to do."
"Who is our target this time?"
"Yamato Hiroshima, he owns a casino and does illegal business inside it."
"What's the catch?"
"Twenty-five thousand dollar!"
"That's a big catch!" Jasmine exclaimed. "Are you sure this is not fraud?"
"I'm sure. I did background research on our client which I always do to each of our clients-" Sarah shrugged off. "Amelia Dokato, daughter of Fanning Dokato, the heiress of the DK international group."
"What's history?" Fiona asked.
"She was being fooled by Yamato and now she wants revenge. She thought they were in love but she was being played. She was just a bet to win him millions of dollars from his friends. She was a virgin you know." Sarah informed her sisters. "She was too ashamed to ask help from her father so she came looking for The Spades, that is Us."
"What does she want us to do with him?"
"She wants him dead-" Fiona and Jasmine snapped their heads directly at Sarah. "But I told her we do everything except killing." She uttered.
"And." Fiona pressed.
"She wants him on the street."
"Let's do it then!" Jasmine smirked.
"Let's go and informed our Ace first."
The three of them went inside The Spades and saw Anna letting out her anger on the punching bag.
"Spare him, little sister, you're gonna destroy him," Jasmine said amusedly as she came front and held on the punching bag.
"I wonder what did Leo do to you to make you get pissed at him so much?"
"Just looking at his face pissed me off." Anna sneered.
"That's surprising! So you're pissed at him for no reason." Sarah said. Anna rolled her eyes over and stopped doing what she was doing.
"If you're not here for the workout, leave and don't disturb me." She said quietly.
"We've got work to do and we need our Ace," Sarah said with a proud smile.
***
"Anna, there's a secret room in his study room and inside there will be a vault where he keeps all his illegal documents," Sarah informed through the Bluetooth.
"Got it," Anna said and walked silently inside the house without being noticed.
"The CCTV inside the house are taken care of," Jasmine informed over the Bluetooth. She stationed at some distance away from the house and was controlling over the gadgets of the house from her laptop.
"I've reached the casino just now and I'm strolling in now," Fiona said. They were all connected through the Bluetooth.
Anna got inside his study room and started looking for the secret room. Suddenly she heard the door of the study room clicked opened and she quickly hid behind the shelves. Yamato Hiroshima entered inside the room but he was not alone, there were two more gentlemen with him. One with an all-black suit and the other with a light brown suit with a white shirt. She narrowed her eyes from between the books and looked at those gentlemen. Her eyes went wide in shocked when she noticed those gentlemen.
"Anna, someone's trying to play with the CCTV." Jasmine voice caught her attention, "The systems are malfunctioning." Then suddenly she heard Jasmine's gasping out loud over the Bluetooth. "Anna, get out of that bloody house. There's an army of men in black hovering inside the house." And right on cue, Anna heard gunshots being fired from the other side.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Anna heard Yamato's shouting in anger and snapped her attention towards it.
"We're just here to clean the mess," Leo said. "Do you know the punishment of betrayal?" he took out his gun from his waistband and held it in his hand.
"What do you mean, Leo? I never betrayed your family." Yamato cracked up as he dreadfully stared at the gun in Leo's hand.
"Really! Should I remind you what you did?" Roberto prodded and offered him a smiled. "The Sylvester-" he trialled off.
Instantly Yamato came to his knee and cried for his life, "Please, forgive me. I will never betray again."
"I know you won't coz you won't be alive to do that mistake again." Leo deadpanned and point the gun down in his forehead. "Heard that you earned a million dollars in winning a bet over a girl. That girl must have wish sincerely for your death and she's lucky, God heard her wish already." And he pulled the triggered. Anna closed her eyes quickly to avoid witnessing death and flinched at the sound of the gunshot.
"Yamato's death, retrieve back sisters." She said quietly over the Bluetooth.
"Anna, get out of that house immediately, I can't access the CCTV. Get out of there before someone catches you in the camera." Jasmine warned her dreadfully.
"I'm getting out now!" she said and plug out her Bluetooth from her ear. But as she turned around, she saw Leo standing in front, his one hand pointing gun at her and his other hand on the phone over his ear.
"I got him, Nicolo," Leo said and hung the call. Anna raised her hands in surrender and slowly stand to her feet. "Who the fuck are you and what're you doing here?" he demanded. Anna simply stood there in silence.
"Looks like an assassin to me." Roberto took out his gun from his waistband and came and stood beside Leo, pointing his gun at her. "He must be one of the Sylvesters' assassin. Just kill him already."
The door clicked opened and some more men in black entered. "Boss, the house is all cleared." Alvaro, the head of securities informed and his eyes fell to the small figure in front of Leo and Roberto. He quickly pointed his gun at Anna and strolled forward. "If I'm not wrong, you're the Ace of Spades, the courier guy who works for money. By seeing you here, I'm guessing that Yamato was your next target." He continued and assumed.
"Alvaro, do you know him?" Roberto asked.
"No boss, I just heard of him. He does people's work and revenge for money but killing is not involved in his forte." Alvaro answered.
"How much did you see?" Leo demanded and waited for her to answer but she didn't utter a single word. She knows that if she says a word, they'll come to know that these whole time the 'Ace of Spades' is a woman. "I don't like people wasting my time." He said unsmiling and was about to pull the trigger but Alvaro's voice stopped him from doing.
"Boss, if you don't mind. I would like to see his face before he die." Alvaro said staring at her. Leo nodded at him and step back. Alvaro came forth and attempted to remove her mask. Anna didn't have any choice but to fight back, she can't let anyone know that she is the 'Ace of Spades.' She quickly grabbed on his attempt hand and kicked him to the ground and took his gun with her other hand. Immediately the guards took out their guns and point at her but she fought skillfully and unarmed everyone. Leo and Roberto simply stood aside and watched them fighting.
"Too much of drama, let's just kill him already." Roberto sighed and walked past Leo and without wasting a second he shot at Anna. She quickly dodged away and looked at Roberto in complete horror. Immediately she went for him and kicked his hand and threw this gun on the other side.
"That was fast," Roberto said cockily and charged forward to combat her one on one. He jabbed a punch at her but she blocked it skilfully and kicked him hard on his stomach and he was crashed into the wall. He groaned in pain and came to his knee. And as she was about to escape away, Leo came to her front and stopped her, his both hands shoved in his pockets. He glanced at his brother and lazily turned his head towards her. She threw a punch at him but he dodged his body back. She continued punching at him but Leo simply dodged all her attacked and didn't fight back. Anna stopped for some seconds and glared at him. She realised that he was just having fun with her, looking at the smug smile he was wearing on his face made her more pissed off and wanted to tear his face off.
"You fight well, little girl. I'm impressed." Leo mocked to which Anna creased her eyebrows and glared at him. Without wasting a second, she charged forward and attempt to punch him but this time, Leo didn't dodge, he pulled out his one hand and caught her tiny fist into his large palm. He pulled her around into him and crashed her tiny back into his hard chest as locked his arm on top of hers around her neck. His other hand captured her other hand and hand-lock it on her back. Anna struggled into his body, he was very strong.
"I'm gonna release you now." He leaned closer and whispered huskily in her ear. "Forget what you saw in this room and not a word to anyone or I'll come hunting you." He warned lowly. "Once I let go of you, you run immediately. And if try anything funny, I'll make sure you see your dead." Giving her his last warning, he released her and gently pushed her forward. Anna turned her head and glared at him. Leo ignored her glare and gesture her to leave at once with his head. Throwing one last glare at him, she strolled towards the window and jumped from it. Leo walked towards the window and looked down. He saw her running towards the wall and saw her hopping in the air and skillfully jumping over the wall. Leo chuckled in surprise. He was shocked to see how a little girl like her made safely to the ground from a two-storeyed building.
"She's really something!" he said and move away from the window. He went towards his brother and helped him up. "Do you know that you've been knocked down by a girl just now?" he amusedly said in a low voice so that only his brother could hear. Roberto creased his brows and looked at his brother in disbelief. "I know, don't worry I won't tell to Alesso and Nicolo." He couldn't help but feel amused.
"Fuck off!" Roberto scowled. "I'll get to her next time."
"Boss, you let him go!" Alvaro exclaimed under his groaning as he struggled to stand on his feet.
"On your feet everyone and let's get out of here before the cops get here," Leo shouted and strolled out from the room along with Roberto.
Jasmine drove in quickly right after Anna jumped off from the wall and received her. "I thought you were caught already." She said and bite her lips. Anna narrowed her eyes at her and gestured her to spit it out. "I called the police." Before Anna could shout at her she continued, "I was getting so worried about you so I didn't have any option but to call the police." She defended quickly.
"You know very well that we never involve cops in our work." Anna reminded her quietly.
"I know but this was different."
"Did you tell your identity?"
"Fake identity!"
"That's okay then, drive now. I wanna get home early and get rest. I'm tired." Anna said as she twisted around her right hand. Jasmine nodded and immediately drive off.
"You said that Yamato's dead. Do you know who killed him?"
"I don't know. When I heard the bullet and turned around, he was already lying dead on the ground in the puddle of his own blood." She lied.
"Whoever those men were, I bet they're mafias. And they have a very skilled hacker. Damn it! I can't even block that bastard." She gritted angrily as she gripped tightly on the wheel.
"Let me check on it," Anna said and reach for her laptop at the backseat. She opened it and started hacking.
"Did you get anything on him?" Jasmine asked after a while.
"Mmmhh-his hacking profile is Assassin and he was just a kilometre away to where you were." She informed. And hacked into his profile. She knew who this person was.
"Do you know who that person is?"
"No! I can't access his profile." She lied. If she told her that the person was Nicolo, Jasmine will come to know about the situation. Anna gave a thought and sighed inwardly.
Why am I even lying to my sister about them? She asked inwardly.
Jasmine received a call from Fiona. She received it and put it on speaker.
"Jasmine, did you get Anna?"
"I'm here, Fiona."
"Thank God, you're safe. Where are you guys now?"
"On our way, we'll be home in twenty minutes."
"Okay, drive safe. Sarah and I are waiting. See ya!" Fiona informed and hung up.
*
"Oh no!" Nicolo shrieked loudly making all of his family startled at his sudden cry.
"What happened?"
"My Assassin has been hacked."
"Is that from the same person earlier?" Roberto asked.
"Yes! I'll get to this Pheonix." He said in a bad temper and started to busily type on his laptop. After some minutes, he groaned in annoyance and angrily shuts his laptop and kept it aside. "Fuck, I can't access his data."
"Alvaro!" Leo called out and in an instant, Alvaro came running into the common hall.
"Yes, boss!"
"Fill me about the 'Ace of Spades.'" Leo said.
"He is a night courier, boss. He does his work only at night. He does people work for money. Nobody has seen him, not even his clients. He doesn't keep any ties to his clients after the work is done." Alvaro informed.
"Does he do all alone?"
"No, boss! He has a team, 'The Spades.' And he is the Ace of their team."
"How many of them?"
"I'm sorry, boss, I have no idea about it."
"Do you know how to contact him?" Leo asked with a hint of interest in his tone.
"You can email him but boss, we have to search for his email."
"Alvaro, find ways to contact him and let me know. Let's play a little game on him!" Loe smirked and gestured him to leave.
"Ace of Spades, damn! Doesn't it sound so cool? I would love to meet him." Alesso wandered deeply.
"I will kill her long before you even get the chance to see her." Roberto blurted out angrily.
"Her!" Alesso and Nicolo exclaimed in unison. Roberto made an irritable face and looked away.
"Dang! So Ace of Spades is a girl!"
"She's must have been trained very well. Do you think she's an assassin?"
"I don't think so. She never does the work of killing."
"Fuck off!" Roberto cursed loudly and angrily stood from his place. "I need to clear my head. I'm going to the club."
"We have a business to deal there, let's go together," Leo said and stood up from his place as well and strolled towards the entrance of the house.
