"Fuck," Vito hissed as he ran his hand over his face. "They've kidnapped Zindel too, and I'm on my way there now."
"What happened with Zindel's security team?" Wolf asked.
"Most are dead, with only two in the hospital in critical condition."
"Sons of bitches! Wait, you're on your way there. Where? The hospital?"
"No, to where Zindel is. I have a tracker on him. And your guy might be with him," Vito said.
"Me and some brothers will meet you. Just tell us where," Wolf said.
"We don't know if they're even located in the same place," Vito said.
"We need to start somewhere," Wolf said.
"Fine."
Nathan listened as Vito gave Wolf the information.
"I'll see you there," Vito said, then ended the call.
"Looks like the Triad had the same idea you all did when you took Li and Xiù," Nathan said.
"I don't give a fuck. I know where my Minx is, and I will destroy them to get him back," Vito said.
"Does Rico know this happened?" Nathan asked.
"Of course, I told him."
"Does he know about Snoopy?" Nathan asked.
Vito didn't answer. Instead, he reached out to his brother, texting him to inform him about the Lords' missing member. "Now he does."
"Well, hopefully, both Zindel and Snoopy will be there," Nathan said. "So, do we all meet there and just go in blasting?"
"I'm sure they won't expect us to know where they are. We already have the element of surprise," Vito said.
Nathan nodded. "That is true." A part of him hated that he wasn't going to be able to participate in this bloodbath. At least his sons would get much-needed experience. It was always good to look at the silver lining. He texted Bailey to let him know that he needed to stay put for now. It was safer there until further notice.
"Okay, please be safe," Bailey texted back.
"I will." He slipped his cell back into his pocket before climbing into one of Vito's armored SUVs.
Nearing the location, Vito received a call. He answered when he saw who was calling. "Yeah?"
"Hold off on going for Zindel," Nico said.
"The fuck I will!" Vito snapped.
Nathan watched and listened as he was close enough to Vito in the car to hear both sides of the conversation.
"You fucking will," Nico snapped. "I'm still your fucking uncle, and you will respect me. But furthermore, this command comes from Rico, nephew."
"Why? Why does he want me to hold off?" Vito asked, his jaw tight with rage and frustration.
"Because you know we have Li and Xiù in our grip. Zindel will be safe because whatever he does to ours, we'll do worse to his," Nico said.
"And I'm supposed to allow shit to happen to Zindel?" Vito asked, then released more curses in Italian.
