“Sure. It took me several days to uncover the culprit. He was good at hiding his tracks, but a new piece of spyware technology has come out, and I was able to use that as it was so new. The hacker didn’t have access to it yet.”
“That’s all nice and well, but who is it?”
“It’s Enzo.”
The room was so quiet you could hear a bullet drop.
“Enzo. How can it be?” Enzo’s dad asked.
“He’s family,” said Don Calo.
“Yeah, are you sure someone isn’t setting my son up like they did Dante?”
“I’m sure. Once I told Dante, he believed the same thing, so I hacked farther into his computer and I found evidence.”
“Like a manifesto. That sounds too convenient,” Don Calo said.
“No, it was checking browser history and purchases. He had scrubbed his computer well, but as I say with new technology coming out every day, I was able to piece it all together. If you want to look at the screen, you can see the images that I took.”
“Why would he do this?” The Don asked. “We’re family. We stick together.”
“Dante has something Enzo wants.” Enzo’s dad hung his head. “I didn’t think he would stoop to this, but he is obsessed.”
“With what?” the Don asked.
“Madison,” Dante and Enzo’s dad said at the same time.
“All this over a woman?”
“Yes.”
“I guess when he found out Madison and Dante were together, it set Enzo off. I remember when he came to me and asked for me to step in. We can’t get an annulment for the wedding. She’s made her choice.”
“This history goes back several years. So he planned to do this before Dante and Madison were together. There is information to suggest Lucca was next.”
“How?” Don Calo’s voice was hoarse.
“Real estate fraud and license revoking was something he had been looking up. This around the time Madison first was working at the club.”
“Why?” Enzo’s dad looked around.
“He wanted to be selected to take over the family business. He believed with Dante out, who I love like a second son, and my own son he would be next in line. Gabe is too young. I would never have picked him,” the Don said.
They all sat around the table lost in their own thoughts.
Enzo walked into the meeting room. “Was it not at one PM?”
“We opened early with a presentation you didn’t need to be here for. We found the mole.”
Enzo’s eyes got shifty and then he tried to make a run for it, but his dad blocked the door.
“How could you do this to your family?”
“It’s the Don’s fault he never let me use any of my skills that I learned in college to help out. I wanted to take over and I knew he wouldn’t choose me, unless I got rid of the competition.”
“So this wasn’t concerning Madison?” The Don asked
“After they were sneaking around together, I knew I had to do something. She was mine.” He looked at Dante. Rage on his face also radiated off of his body like tsunami waves that crashed on the shore. Ready to destroy everything in its path.
