BEING A MAFIA PRISONER
ESCAPE

It's getting dark. Outside the drizzling rain soaks the earth. Monica had just applied night cream on her body. Everything she needed was in her room.

Monica did not know who put all the make-up tools, until the body lotion on the ornamental table. Suddenly it was there.

Monica stopped her activities, when she heard a loud noise outside. It seems very busy. The girl looked at the clock on the wall showing the number of twelve nights.

Just a moment ago Luigi just let Monica out of her room.

Monica is calmer now after contacting Erinka. Gabriel and Erin are fine. That news means a lot to Monica. Although he is not free to let go of longing with his sister through talking on mobile phones, because a pair of eagle eyes Luigi always pay attention to him.

Before Monica leaves, Luigi asks Monic to examine her wound.

The sound outside was so crowded. Monica wondered what they were doing these nights.

Monica moved from her seat to the balcony and looked down at her face. It appears Luigi's men are compiling crates of goods into medium-sized containers. There are three containers lined up.

"What they actually do. Always busy doing this midnight activity" said Monica with a curious look. Wonder what those crates are.

The container is ready to go. Behind him is a Jeep. It looks like Luigi and Carlo are going to get in that car.

Monica saw Luigi wearing a black-and-black jacket with a dark brown leather jacket. The man gave orders directly to his men. It seemed like the crates were so important that he himself was holding her.

Before boarding the car, Luigi looked at Monica who was standing on the balcony. Luigi's momentary gaze made Monica's body bristle. He remembers when the man kissed her wildly a few hours ago.

"I have to leave immediately. He and Carlo are not here. Some of his men were careless because they were tired of working until midnight like this", muttered Monica while thinking. "There must be a penalty for escaping".

*

Monica could not close her eyes at all. His net kept staring at the clock on the wall. Counting every clockwork. The decision is round. Wanting to escape Luigi and Carlo are nowhere to be found.

The girl went back and forth while thinking hard. It was impossible for him to go through the front gate that many guards there were making sure of. There must be a foul through the back, Monica thought as she bit her thumb.

"Gabriel.mommy promised to see you soon. Mommy will take you away from this country, back to Russia. Italy is no longer a safe place for us to live" Monica murmured softly.

"Tig!

Monica looked at the clock. He seemed to be breathing heavily. "Now is the time".

Slowly Monica opened the door of her room and peeked out in case there were guards at the end of the corridor. There's no one there. Monica went straight out and settled down towards the stairs.

The large mansion looked empty. Even arriving downstairs there was not a single person standing guard. Not as usual.

Monica settles, heading for the pantry. He knew there was a door that was directly connected out.

Monica stopped her steps when she saw a shadow in the pantry. "I beg you. Help me get out of this place of God", inner Monica.

 Monica thinks it must be Dana. The woman never sleeps, she always watches over everyone in the stadium. Monica doesn't like it.

"Miss Monica? Is there anything that Miss needs? Let me get it".

Monic pulled the girl's hand away so no one would see them.

"Gretta help me get out of here. I beg. I want to meet my baby son. Please, just show me the way so the guards don't see me" Monica said as she cupped her hands to her chest.

Gretta looked at Iba Monica. He really can't see it that way.

"But this is very risky, miss. We could have been caught and even killed".

"You stay here, let me take that risk. I'm not going to get you too far into my problems" Monica said softly. He saw his watch showing at four in the morning. Still dark.

"Follow me" said Gretta, pulling Monica's hand.

Gretta stepped up fast. Monica followed behind her.

"Please watch your steps, don't make any noise" whispered Gretta.

Monica nodded her head.

"Look there, there's a garden. I've been staking around a few times, behind the park there's a gap to get out. Our bodies are the same, you can get through that little crack, Monic", whispered Gretta.

Monica nodded her head confidently.

"I'm leaving now. Thank you for helping me so much. I won't forget you Gretta".

"Wait on! Bring these. You're gonna need her". Gretta picked something up in the front pocket of the butler she was wearing. Give it to Monica's hand. "The amount is not much but enough for you to live three days on the run" Gretta said softly.

Monica looked at the rubber-bound money roll and a small folding knife.

Monica hugged Gretta's body tightly. "I'll repay your kindness Gretta–"

"Haiii.what are you doing there!!!"

"Monica ran fast, we got caught!", said Gretta in a panic.

"We ran off with Gretta. Hurry up..."

"No! I'll distract the guard. You go, meet your son!"

Gretta ran towards the opposite direction of Monica who was still glued in place.

He could see the guards chasing after Gretta.

"God protect my kind friend" said Monica immediately ran towards the place that Gretta described a moment ago.
