5 CHAPTER 4

EMILY

After two long hours and something minutes we finally landed in New York. We didn't have anytime to waste so we jumped in a cab which took us to a hotel were booked online for us two days ago.

To say Williams was excited would be an understatement. He was practically jumping up and down on his seat like a two year old. His excitement made me want to gag.

"Williams please...calm down"

"You know you can call me Kevin right?" I rolled my eyes at his statement. We weren't even close to the name calling phase yet.

"I prefer if we stick to the last names for now". He frowned clearly not liking my response.

"I'll continue calling you Stone but you have to call me Kevin, if not..I'll call you Emily". I scrunched my eyes at him and he smirked at my reaction...

"Fine..Kevin. happy now?" He grinned like a  happy child..

"Very. Do yo.." he was cut off by the driver who announced that we arrived at our destination. I quickly payed him and got off with Willia..Kevin, rushing to catch up with my steps. Kevin insisted on getting the keys for our rooms. I had to admit, even though Chief was an ass, he clearly got us nice rooms for once.

We entered the elevator and made small talk before we both headed to our separate rooms, not before agreeing to meet at 9PM to head out to the club where our lead led us to.

The hotel room was nice, not luxurious but decent enough. I quickly unpacked and checked the time, finding it to read 7:15 PM, I sighed and decided to take a nap before we head out.

I was floating in the dream world when a knock on my door. I was up in an instant. I pulled my gun out and cautiously approached the door. I peeped on the hole and saw Kevin's curly brown hair and grey eyes staring straight at the peeping hole. I sighed and opened the door for him.

"What do you want Kevin?". He didn't even let me finish my question before pushing me out of the way and entering forcefully in my room. He was all dressed up in black jeans and a white tshirt with black shoes. I had to admit..he really look sexy.

"Don't tell me you're still not ready!"

"Ready for what?"

"We're heading to one of the biggest clubs in New York an.."

"We're going there yes, but its work related".. He ignored my response and made his way to my wardrobe, looking at the little clothes I had brought.

"What are you going to wear?" I rolled my eyes at his question.

"What do you mean what am I going to wear? I'll wear my usual clothes." I said in a duh tone.

"No! Definitely not. I thought you'd say that, so I bought a back up plan". I frowned at his words. He must've sensed my confusion as he pulled out a sky blue dress..a very short dress.

"We're not going to a club looking like cops." Wait..he was right..huh, guess he's smart after all.. I signed and nodded.

I grabbed the dress and made my way to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I put lotion on my body, grabbed my black thong, the dress was an open back dress with two slits on the   sides of my thighs. I combed my hair, applied my mascara to my lashes, and added eyeliner to my eyebrows. I then applied my nude lipstick and slipped on a pair of black stilettos that Kevin got with the dress. I had to admit, he did have a good taste.

When I got out the bathroom. Kevin smirked in approval.

"You look very sexy Stone. If I weren't your partner, I'd definitely ask you out." I smiled at his compliment

"You clean up well too Kevin"

"Okay enough with the complements, lets head out." I nodded.

We headed out of the hotel. Kevin hailed for a cab. After a 30 minutes ride, we arrived at a very luxurious and expensive looking club. Kevin got out and pulled me along with him. I scanned arround my surroundings, looking for exits incase we had to make an escape.

"Welcome to club Sin!" Kevin's words pulled me out of my thoughts. It was a strange name for a club but then..it was a club.

We made our way inside the club. The flashing of lights and smell of sweaty bodies invaded my nose. At least this club didn't smell like sex. The club was huge, with at least 6 bars, each with two bartenders shaking and mixing drinks. I lifted my head up and saw the VIP area. This club definitely screamed money. I saw a few celebrities and well known around the club.

"How did you even manage to get us in here?" I had to shout to Kevin's ear since the music was blasting through the speakers.

"Well, lets just say I'm well known around here." I frowned at his response but decided not to ask any further questions. Kevin pulled me towards the bar, and ordered us a few shots. I drabbed two and downed them in. I felt a little buz but was not drunk. I wasn't planning on getting wasted but I had to blend around with the crowd. I nodded towards Kevin and we split up to cover more ground, not before agreeing to meet up right here at midnight.

I moved towards the bartender who had been glancing at me for the past ten minutes. I winked at him and he made his way towards me.

"Hey there sexy lady, what can I get you?" I smirked and replied in a flirtatious tone.

"Can I get a martini please." He nodded fixing up my drink.

"Can I get your name sexy" I smirked flirtatiously.

"I'm Samantha, and what's yours?" I know, I'm awful at flirting.

"Caleb." I nodded letting him kiss the back of my hand.

"So what brings you here at Sin?" I sighed, looking around the club for anything suspicious that could blow my cover up.

"Well, I was looking for Marco Santana"

"How do you know Santana?"

"Well, he's a friend of mine but I haven't seen him in a few months and I was wondering where he could be. The last time I saw him was here, in Sin.."

"Well Marco was a regular here. Popular with the ladies too. He stopped coming here though after he tried touching the owner's sister. He was beaten to a pulp abd kicked out like a dog. I would be surprised if he would still be alive." I frowned, taking all the info he was giving me.

"Why would you be surprised if he was still alive?"

"Marco had a lot of enemies, he was a dick to many people and signed a dead wish when he tried touching Isabella."

I was about to ask him more questions about Santana but he excused himself when another customer waved at him for a drink. I sipped at my drink while looking around the dance floor and saw Kevin dancing with a girl with very little clothing. I sighed and made my way towards the dance floor. I had to bled in with the people and hopefully find anything about Santana.

I moved my hips with the beat, I danced with a couple of men. I felt a presence on my back abd turned to face Kevin. He pulled me towards him and started dancing. I followed his lead.

"What have you got?"

"Santana was a regular here. He also was known for being a dick and popular with the ladies too, so if you could ask around the ladies here, I'm positive one of them will know something about him." He nodded and pulled away and mingled with a few women in the club. I moved back to the bar shifting my eyes towards the VIP area.

My eyes met with beautiful cold brown orbs. The eyes belonged to a man, a very sexy and farmilia man. Antonio Moretti... I internally gasped, surprised to actually see him in person. I had been after this guy for months but never met him. He looked even better in person. His black hair was styled neatly on his head. His beautiful face that was carved by the gods starred directly at me. His strong chiselled jaw ticked, and he raised one of his thick eyebrow..he knew I was checking him out. I blushed but never broke eye contact.

He slowly rose from his seat, my eyes followed every movement he made. He was wearing black Armani trousers and a white amarni shirt that was rolled up, revealing strong toned arms covered in tattoos. He made his way towards the edge of the VIP balcony annd grabbed on the railings to get a better look of me. I slowly raised from my seat. It was like he was commanding me too. My body was acting on its accord. His eyes travelled from my head to my feet then back to eyes, leaving a trail of heat everywhere they went. He smirked, clearly liking what he was seeing. He licked lips and my eyes followed the movement. I slowly moved towards the VIP section, I didn't know why but I had to get to him. His eyes followed my every movement. It was like he was pulling me towards him, making me forget the reason I was here in the first place. I was about to climb the stairs when Kevin's body blocked my way, I snapped from the trance when gis panicked voice rang through my ears.

"..Stone!..we need to go now!" I didn't get a chance to reply as he pulled me towards the exit. I looked back at the VIP area hoping to see him one last time, but to my disappointment, he wasn't there anymore.

Kevin pulled me in the cab and instructed the driver to take us back to the hotel.

"Kevin, whats going on? What happened?"

"Our cover has been blown Stone! They are coming for us."

"What? Who is coming Kevin? How did..?"

"Antonio Moretti! You were right Stone. He is thw Italian mafia don!" My eyes widened. How did he know, I couldn't get a chance to ask as the cab was crashed by a black SUV.

I groaned at the impact, luckily no one was badly injured. I pulled iut one of Kevin's guns and got outside shooting at the four men who were now moving towards the cab. Kevin followed my lead  we shot three, while trying to escape the scene. I glanced around the street, and saw people screaming and running away from the scene. I grabbed Kevin's hand and ran towards the civilians. We blended with the crowd. I removed my shoes since they were slowing us down. I glanced around and saw 3 black SUVs still on our tail. We had to lose them so we ran towards park that was nearby. The park was full with people, there weren't any children because it was past midnight.

The SUV's passed by and we hid on the bushes. The patrolled there for a few minutes and left. We got out and left for the hotel. When we arrived, I was tired. We had to leave newyork as soon as possible because they would be looking for us. I knew it had something to do with Santana. I made my way inside my room, not bothering with checking my surroundings..big mistake.

Just as I shut the door, a figure slowly stood up from the couch, making its way towards me. I quickly switched the lights on and came face to face with none other than Antonio Moretti...I gasped moving backwards in hopes of finding something to defend myself with. A deep and muscular voice stopped me from my tracks.

"Ah..ah.ah! gattina One wrong move and your partner gets it."

"What do you want?" I said in a non panicked voice, but deep down, I was beyond terrified.

"You've been a very bad girl gattina, digging up in places you don't belong. You've been a real pain in my ass and now that we've met..I just can't let you go that easily!" I frowned at his statement.

"What do you mean?" He smirked and came to stand infront of me. His beautiful face was so close to mine that if one of us took a step forward, our lips would finally meet. He grinned evily, revealing his perfect white and straight teeth. He roughly grabbed my neck. I felt a pinch on the side of my neck abd gasped. His eyes met with mine and I felt myself getting dizzy. My limbs felt weak. My legs gave up and he his strong hands held me onto his warm body.

"vieni con me!" [You're coming with me]

Those were the last words before I fell away from consciousness.
