E.X.O.D.U.S (A Mafia Tale)✔️

19

Evening came fast and we were all at the dinning in Maxim's house drawing a plan.  We were going by road and a few men by air. I preferred road, it was discreet.

"So where's your wife?" I asked chugging down hot cocoa

"Yeah, I was meant to ask" Dutch agreed

"Never married" he said

"Why? You are beautiful...I mean, why will you want to spend your life alone?" I corrected turning red with embarrassment

Dutch chuckled while Maxim smiled

"Thank you but being in the military occupied my time and I guess I didn't want to make any woman regret being with me" he said

"Your parents?" I asked

"Dad's dead and mum's in Germany with my sister" he explained

"So you don't have kids? Even an illegitimate one?"

"Well...a lady did say she was carrying my baby once" he started playing with the coin in his hand

"So where's she?" Dutch asked looking around for probably a photo

"Dead. That's what happens when you lie to me, I kill" he said

I nodded. Good. I didn't need a simp in this mission

"Wow, that's brutal" Dutch said

Maxim shrugged before walking over to the kitchen. I glanced at Dutch and he smiled at me. I needed to make sure Dutch was all in on the plan, I get that he was scared and honestly , I was too but I won't let my fears stand in the way of Avtoritet's destruction.

"So Maxim, why did you join the military?" Dutch asked

"My dad was in the military at that time it felt so cool to have guns and say my dad was a general and all" he explained, his back turned to us

"That's cute"

"I am going for a dip in the pool, you can join me if you like" Maxim said walking to the back and we immediately followed.

The back was amazing. The biggest swimming pool I had ever seen was right in front of me

"Liz, I have no swim suit for you but you can come in..." Maxim started but I cut him off

"Its all good, I will just place my feet in the water" I said; I watched as both men jumped into the pool shirtless and began to swim

I sat at the edge of the pool and placed my feet in the water. It was not exactly cold but just perfect.

I wonder how Emilia's doing, I hope she's still alive and I pray that Avtoritet didn't figure out our plan. This felt surreal, maybe Avtoritet wasn't all that.

I mean, look, we had escaped from him and it is already past a day and he hadn't found us yet. I smiled, there was really a light at the end of the tunnel.

I felt water splash my face and I looked down to see Maxim as he chuckled at my shocked reaction

"It's weird to smile to yourself" he said

"And you were watching" I commented

"Couldn't help it" he shrugged

I looked back at Dutch, was this old man flirting with me? Yes, he was attractive he didn't look above 30 but...

"Oh, is he your boyfriend?" Maxim asked looking back at Dutch who was swimming and smiling at the relaxation he was enjoying

"Oh no, we are friends" I said immediately regretting it because now he'd think I was open for whatever he was going to offer.

"And do you have a boyfriend?" He asked looking deep into my eyes

"Y..yes" I found myself saying

His eyes turned sad but he still managed to keep a normal face "Oh, how? I thought you were kidnapped? Don't tell me you have Stockholm Syndrome?"

"What's that?"

"Falling in love with your captor"

Love with Commanding lord? I'd rather die...

"Oh no no no... " I said immediately

"Then who's he?" He asked smiling, I could tell it was fake

My brain began to think fast

"Well, he's um, tall. He has very UHM... Contagious laughter and he's someone who doesn't want me getting hurt" I said and my brain couldn't help but picture Vladimir. Yes I hated his guts but honestly, he's been the only one who has tried to help me get on Avtoritet's good side.

"He was not who bought you, yes?" He asked

I shook my head in denial "No, he wasn't"

"He sounds like a patient person, I hope he makes you happy" Maxim said

Patient? Ha!

"Yeah" I responded back

I breathed out in relief when he swam to the other end, Dutch swam closer to me

"Good one" he said as he approached me his voice low

I nodded "Aren't you cold?"

"I am but I love it in here" he said twirling making me laugh

After a few minutes, probably like 30... The cloud became heavy and it began to rain like crazy. We rushed into the house and locked the back door

"That's surprising" Maxim exclaimed drying his body with a towel. We locked every door and window and followed as Maxim led us to where we supposed to sleep

"You can share a room if you'd like or you can take this one here" he said

I decided to take a room to myself, I needed space.

"Thank you Maxim" I said grateful for everything

He smiled before walking towards his own room.

"Goodnight" Dutch yawned and walked inside the room given to him while I walked into mine.

I noticed that the window was open and I immediately rushed over to close it. As I leaned over to close it, I saw a figure leisurely walking under the rain. The figure wasn't in Maxim's house but outside on the street. His hands were in his pocket and he had on a hoodie.

He walked past and just when I thought he was probably a passerby, he walked past the street again. What's going on? Who's this person?

My heart began to race but I quickly calmed down, I wasn't in Moscow anymore, this was Kazan and I was safe. I closed the first window and moved over to the second one, when the figure raised his head and looked at me, he was even wearing shades? Are you for real?

He raised his hand and waved at me while my body froze. Who was this weird person? And why was he waving at me?, Another person in black came out from somewhere probably one of the uncompleted buildings and they both walked out together. Oh, maybe he was waiting for someone, my heart rate dropped.

Holaaaa!!!!

Another filler for us all...

Ha, I can't wait for the next chapter 😂😂

Just curious, what's your definition of love? Mine, sacrifice.
