Alessia's nerves hummed as she waited.
The Morani family's response...
Imminent.
Alessandro's voice came through the comms device.
"Bella, they're taking the bait. Our men are in position."
Alessia's heart skipped a beat.
The plan...
Working.
Sophia's voice chimed in.
"Alessia, we have visuals. The Morani family's men are moving in."
Alessia's eyes locked onto the screens.
The Morani family's men...
Surrounding Marco.
Alessia's grip on her gun tightened.
The trap...
Sprung.
"Marco, it's time," Alessandro said.
Marco nodded, his eyes resigned.
The Morani family's men closed in...
And Marco made his move.
Alessia's heart pounded.
The firefight erupted...
Bullets flying.
Alessia's training kicked in.
She took cover...
Returned fire.
The Morani family's men...
Falling.
Alessandro's voice came through the comms device.
"Bella, we have Ricardo. He's trying to escape."
Alessia's eyes locked onto Ricardo.
The Morani family's heir...
Within reach.
"Got him," Alessia said.
Ricardo's eyes widened.
Alessia's gun pressed against his temple.
"Game over," Alessia whispered.
The Morani family's plan...
Foiled.
But Francesca remained at large.
Alessia's instincts screamed warning.
Francesca's revenge...
Coming.
As they secured Ricardo, Alessandro approached.
"Bella, well done," he said.
Alessia nodded.
The adrenaline...
Fading.
Sophia's voice interrupted.
"Alessandro, we have a problem."
Alessandro's expression turned grim.
"What is it?"
Sophia's eyes dropped.
"Francesca's escaped. She's heading for the docks."
Alessia's heart sank.
Francesca's plan...
Unfolding.
"We need to move," Alessandro said.
Alessia nodded.
The chase...
On.
They rushed to the docks, Alessia's mind racing.
Francesca's escape...
A trap?
As they arrived, Francesca's boat sped away.
Alessia's eyes narrowed.
The hunt...
Begun.
