"This conversation is taking too damn long. You've got two options Alan, come to Portugal, or be the reason the bitch dies with your unborn child." Her familiar voice echoed through the room.

"The conditions are that you leave your family Alan, they're a distraction to you, we've seen it over the last few years. They cloud your judgement. You're not as ruthless as you once were."

"I'm not leaving her!" I aimed my gun right at Dante willing myself to pull the fucking trigger. Every thought, urge and impulse was telling me to pull that trigger, but I couldn't. I couldn't do it. Dante's smirk broadened while he watched me point the gun at him.

"You're not going to do it Alan, you can't. You love her too much."

Eventually my grip on the gun slacked and my arm dropped to my side in defeat. For once I couldn't find a solution, there was nothing I could do. My love for Ruth was to

"I already fucking told you Tony, just bomb the place. As long as we know he's inside, all you have to do is bomb it. We've got trained professionals with all the equipment to pull it off with no casualties on our side."

"Do that if it goes wrong." We all turned to Kaito who was staring back at us with no emotion. "If I fuck up, just bomb him before he has a chance to figure out the plan."

"You'll be inside Kaito, it's too dangerous." I forgot Mia was even in the room, it probably wasn't the best idea to have this conversation in front her. "She's right Kaito, you'll die."

"I told you, I wanted to prove my loyalty to you, if that's how it goes down then that's how it is." I shook my head and walked past Kaito to get a drink from the mini bar.
