The Prisoner of the Mafia
TSM Chapter 42 - Always Saying No
Axton who just came out of the house approached Laura who was cool playing in a park with her favorite rabbit that Axton had given her. "Laura, it's late in the afternoon, why is it still outside?" Ask Axton.
Hearing her name being called, Laura immediately stood up and lowered her head in front of Axton. "I will soon enter the house of the Master" said Laura so gently typical of small children.
Axton smiled slightly, he rubbed Laura's head slowly. "Alright, don't stay out too long" Axton said. "I go first" continued Axton, who straightened the end of the suit and walked towards the car, while Laura began to lift her face as Axton left, he went back to his throat and picked up his rapidly growing white rabbit.
As Axton sat in the passenger seat, he glanced at Jack from the windshield. "Take me to the barn, I'd like to visit James for a bit" Axton later said. Jack just nodded and started the car engine, before long the car drove and the gate was opened swiftly by the guards.
Axton closed his eyes and leaned his head against the back of the chair, taking a deep breath as he recalled Arabella. Capturing a woman was apparently not as easy as he imagined, when James brought enough money he instead refused it and put James into his staff. Somehow for Axton Arabella is not quite exchanged for money, he is quite interesting and Axton seems to have been accustomed to the presence of Arabella in his home. Axton shook his head slowly, his eyes still closed, maybe Axton too long alone in his house, he said, arabella's presence is the only woman in the house and that's the most logical reason why Axton considers Arabella a silent entertainer.
“Do you hurt sir? I'll call Dr. Lo—“
“No, just continue the journey,” cut Axton quickly, Jack who heard it immediately fell silent, he returned to focus on driving and occasionally glanced at the car glass that showed Axton in the back seat closed his eyes.
Jack was quite worried about the condition of Axton's body that was too busy working, even if remembered again Axton had long never checked his own health.
Arriving at the warehouse, it appears that all workers have rested in their respective rooms, the sky has darkened and lights in lieu of light sources illuminate this building.
Axton went into a glass room and sat in his chair, two men were standing in front of Axton. “Call James to come here, there's something I want to discuss with him,” Axton said.
One of the men nodded quickly and walked out of the room to take James.
“This is the jobdask I gave to James, and it fits perfectly with what you suggested Sir. Yesterday James paid enough attention to all the tasks that are here, and today he has started working,” explained the man.
Axton made the map and read it slowly, he gave a job that could be said to be quite light, just moving some items from one place to another, he said, there's not enough work at risk that Axton gives.
Before long, the door of the room opened again, James came with his usual appearance, no neat word for the man. “Leave me and James a minute,” Axton said. The two men followed Axton, leaving James standing by the door.
Axton could see there was a fear of James. “Come,” said Axton.
With a doubtful step James approached, he sat down nervously and dared not look at Axton's face. “How about the work I give you?” Ask Axton.
James raised his face slowly. “I'm very grateful for this job Sir, I will work hard to free Bella,” James said.
Axton smiled obliquely, he closed the map and put it beside the table. “Before discussing the others, I want to ask you one thing,” said Axton who sounded so intimidating.
James swallowed his saliva hard, his heart pounding fiercely. “A—What is a Master?”
“I want to hear why you want to return to gambling with the money you borrowed with Daniel,”, said Axton.
