Don Rizzo’s Request
Chapter 79: Don Rizzo’s Request
“Uhmmm… the thing is I don’t know where she is right now, all I can say is that she had help from the sanchez brothers.” Ramos said. “And tracking her down, will not be easy, because those boys have their own resources and power, Don Rizzo.” he added.
“I don’t care how you do it! Bring her here for me.” Don Rizzo said.
“Don Rizzo, it’s not like I don’t want to do what you say, but what about the Sanchez brothers?” Ramos asked.
“The Sanchez brothers are a problem, I agree,” Don Rizzo said, tapping his fingers on the desk.
“But I have a solution for that as well. We can deal with them once we have Raven.”
“What’s the solution, Don Rizzo?” Ramos asked.
“You don’t have to know yet. Just bring me the bitch who almost destroyed my political career and after that, we can talk about you needing my support. But if you fail to bring her to me, Ramos. I’ll not hesitate to end you. You understand me?” Don Rizzo threatened.
“I understand,” Ramos said, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that Don Rizzo was not someone to be trifled with, and he felt like he was in over his head.
He had never wanted to get involved with Don Rizzo in the first place, but he wanted more power and Don Rizzo was his power house and because of Raven, he had almost lost the power house.
He was ready to do anything as long as Don Rizzo promises to become his power house again.
“You have 24 hours,” Don Rizzo said, his voice firm. ”
“I’ll not fail you, Don Rizzo.” Ramos said.
“I hope you’re right,” Don Rizzo said, leaning back in his chair. “Because if you do fail, the consequences will be severe. Do you know what I mean?”
Ramos swallowed hard. “I know,” he said. He felt like he was walking on a tightrope, and one misstep could send him plummeting into the abyss.
He knew that he had to find Raven and bring her to Don Rizzo, no matter what it took.
But he also knew that he couldn’t trust Don Rizzo, and he wasn’t sure what would happen if he did succeed.
“Ah! Before you make me forget. Bring your daughter to me as well.” Don Rizzo said.
“Please, Don Rizzo. Not my daughter.” Ramos begged.
“Why not? You find it easy to kill others children but when it comes to yours, you don’t want anyone to touch what’s yours huh. Well, I want you to bring her for me in two days time and if you fail to do that too, you are not getting my support and I can easily frame you for the murder of Lolita and put you in jail for the rest of your life. How does that sound huh?” Don Rizzo threatened.
“Please…. Don Rizzo not my daughter. I can bring any other girl to you to enjoy, but not my daughter.” Ramos begged.
“Nah…. I want your daughter and you’ll bring her to me along with that bitch named Raven. You understand me?” Don Rizzo said.
This was all too much for Ramos. He felt like he was being pulled in two different directions, and he didn’t know which way to turn.
He knew that he had to do something, but he didn’t know what to do. He was afraid of Don Rizzo and what he might do to him, but he was also afraid of what would happen if he did what Don Rizzo wanted.
He felt trapped, and he didn’t know how to get out of this situation.
“Please, Don Rizzo, I… I can’t do what you’re asking,” he said, his voice breaking.
“Oh.. no you will because I know you, Ramos. You’ll do anything to get power.” Don Rizzo said.
And it’s true. Ramos can do anything to gain more power, but the task asked of him was something he wasn’t willing to do, but he needed Rizzo’s help and he needed it fast if he wanted to destroy the Sanchez brothers who have been nothing but pains to him.
“Is there no other way… Don Rizzo? Anyone else except my daughter.” Ramos said.
“I’m afraid not,” Don Rizzo said, his voice hard. “Your daughter is the only way to guarantee my cooperation. Without her, I have no reason to help you. You need me more than I need you.”
Ramos felt like he was being backed into a corner, and he didn’t know what to do.
On the one hand, he didn’t want to give up his daughter, but on the other hand, he didn’t want to lose the chance to get back at the Sanchez brothers.
He was caught between a rock and a hard place, and he didn’t see any way out.
