The Knife In My Hand

Chapter Nineteen, Online

Point Of View - Elma Farfalla Bianchi

      Being back in my room heading to my desk and opening my laptop. After turning on my laptop I scrolled through my three different profiles and then clicked my illegal work profile. My first profile is personal and I call that one Blue Rose. The second one is my legal work profile and that's called White Rose. And the third one is my illegal work, called Red Rose. It's not my intention to do the colors of the US flag.

      I bend down to grab my USB stick from my ankle. The only way I can log on to my Red Rose profile on my laptop is with the USB stick. Now grabbing the black USB custom rubber bracelet off my ankle and plugging it in. A six digit code is requested and I put in 'K9B46A' as the code. It accepts it, the desktop comes up with a picture of The Rose Dragons Logo as the background photo.

      Before I start working I check the timer on the task bar which is on the left side of the screen and not the bottom. It says twenty nine minutes until I need to log in again. Sometimes my safe precaution annoys me but It keep the information safe and that's how it should be.

      Now going through the every other day paragraph from my different department heads of what happened today. Roger, The German Leader as a fancy title for one of my managers. He basically told me the whole family is missing me. Alvin is being Alvin. Martin is very badly regretting his decision and Theo has won another race in Germany. One thing that I have to know is what moves my main mafia families are doing. I can't be blind spotted by the families.

      Next Kenji informed me that the shuffle of personnel is going well right now. Asher told me the investigation is going well and they have a lead. After reading those I go to Bruno's memo and read that there is a current shortage of no traceable transportation. I go through other memo's before stopping at Destiny's and reading that Mila is doing well and gonna be on the plane with her tomorrow.

      Knock, knock, I hear someone at my door. Reacting quickly I closed the memos and shut off my profile properly. "Elma?" I hear Romeo's voice through the door.

      Wait a moment, inpatient Romeo. I immediately finished shutting off my laptop and got up while yelling, "Coming Romeo!"

       Turing the goldish color knob. Opening the dark wooden door. I see not just Romeo but Mateo and Mom. "Are you ready for your online shopping, Sis?" Romeo looked genetic to get started.

      "You're ready?" Mom changed her voice to concern for a second.

     "Yes, I am ready to shop." I used my fake enthusiasm to them and they duly noted it.

      Still standing in the doorway while Mateo brings out his phone and types something. "Everything is set up in the living room." My older brother Mateo informed me as he put his phone in his front pants pocket.

       Now I should grab my laptop. "Let me grab my laptop." I shared it with them.

      "All right." Mom put her hands together and turned to the boys. I went into my room while going to my desk. I heard mom tell the boys. "U-m boys, why don't you go to the living room."

      "Ok!" I hear both twins approve and their footsteps go down the hallway.

      While grabbing my laptop I hear footsteps entering the room behind me. "Tape?" Mom's emotions were curious and distracted.

      Now turning around with my laptop and charger in my hands. "The tape shows the areas that I have plans for." I told her while making sure my stuff is cleaned up.

      "You have plans, sweetheart?" Mom looked at me trying to read my emotions. Nice trying my walls are up and you see only what I show you.

     "Of course I do, Mom!" There was a bright smile on her face after her the word Mom. I walked into my closet grabbing a black full zip sweater and turning the light off.
