A ping sound of my phone with a notification popping up on the screen, It shows a message from one of my boys back at Moscow "Two of our clubs just exploded."

What?

I make a call to father immediately and he picks it at one ring. "I assume you've seen the news" his groggy voice tells me he just woke up from a nap. "Someone's messing with us son. I know you're with your in laws but something has to be done" He pauses, I hear paper ruffling in the background. "I'll go see for myself. I suggest you wrap the shit up and fly back home" He finishes before cutting the line. My hand grips my phone so hard, I fear it might crack.

Andrei walks into the room with a tablet in his hands. "You should see this" He says as he hands the tablet to me. I take it and begin to read the news displayed on it.

Two of the Italian mafia owned hotels just exploded, taking hundreds of lives in it, The headline read. Above the headline is the picture of the buildings burnt to the ground. The air leaving my nostrils feels hot against my skin. I'm practically seething.

"She request for you to meet in her office" Andrei adds after collecting the tablet from me. I nod, my hands are shaking with anger and I don't even try to hide it as I make my way to Davinia's office. Someone is definitely playing with us. I'm curious to see how she handles the situation. I get into her office to see her behind her desk watching something on her laptop with Tiana beside her typing furiously on it.

Her eyes flicker to mine. The dim lights in the room illuminates her green eyes behind the glasses she wore, the sight of it does things to my body but we have other things to do so I ignore it. "I suppose you've seen the news" She says coolly and Calmly. I meet her behind the table. Tiana moves the laptop to the side to show me a video of what they're watching. I have to bend to get a closer look, this makes me closer to Davinia but that isn't the issue. It's her scent, a bit of apple and spice waffles into my nose, it's sending my brain to overdrive.

"We have a lead" Tiana mutters as she plays the video. It shows the club house under the Russian mafia before it explode. People are moving down and about, going in and out of the club. The video pauses abruptly, "I want you to watch the middle aged man that walks into the club" my eyes stay on the middle aged man with a black jacket and face cap on, his eyes are covered by shades. It's not even bright outside.

He walks into the club, more like bounce. He gets into the club and a few minutes later people start to run out of the building including the man, He walks out of the building. Now I understand, he didn't run out cause he already knows what is about to happen. He looks up at the cctv for a second before leaving the scene, a few seconds later, the building goes up in Flames. Rage builds in my blood at the sight. This is one stupid stunt and when I get my hands on the people responsible for this, they would wish they never had cross me.

"The same thing happened in the second video" Tiana mentions as she turns the screen over to her front and types fasts on the keys.

"Now take a look at this" Davinia says. The screen returns to my side and I watch another video but the building this time is the Lucchese's hotel. People walk in and out of the hotel as they do on usual days but a man walks into the scene and a red circle tags him. He walks into the building and after a few minutes, people begin to run out of the building only he didn't. The video pauses. My eyebrows furrow.

"if you notice in the first video" Davinia splits the screen and pulls up the first video. She zooms in on the man, on his wrist. "He was wearing a watch but after he got into the building" she plays the video and paused it when the man walks out. She zooms in on his wrist. "No wristwatch"

She cancels the video and returns to the second video. She zooms in on the man before he walks into the hotel, she zooms in on his wrist. "Same fucking watch" she seeths. Just like the first video, when the man walked out of the hotel he had no watch on his wrist. He looks around before blending in with the crowd. It won't be easy to get his face with the covering he has on, the shades especially. The fucker knew what he was doing.

The room goes silent but I can hear the blood rushing into my head. My fingers dig into the wood of her table. Someone really had the audacity to pull this stunt. I look down on Davinia to see her smirking. My eyebrows arches, "You know something, Anís?" I couldn't help but use that endearment for her. I mean look at her. She smells and taste like an apple. Her face burns red just like the apple, Anís. It fits her perfectly.

Her face is turning red but she doesn't try to hide it this time instead she looks up at me with the smirk still on her face. "Let's just say I have a very good hunch" she says. "Tiana will go on with the face recognition of the bomber and then she'll do her research on him" I stand upright and rub my chin slowly. I guess I'll be seeing Davinia Veleno in action after all. Just the thought of it makes me excited.
