Chapter 9 - NO MERCY
Vincent kicked in the heavy steel door of the main warehouse. Inside, Bianca and Sophia Bellini were cowering behind a rusted shipping container. Dr. Reed—who had somehow survived this long by crawling back to the Bellinis—was holding a trembling pistol to Lily’s head.
“Drop it, Moretti!” Dr. Reed screamed, sweating profusely. “Or I swear to God—”
Vincent didn't even break stride. He raised his handgun and fired a single shot.
The bullet struck Dr. Reed perfectly between the eyes. The doctor collapsed like a puppet with cut strings.
Lily screamed, dropping to the floor. Vincent was there in a second, sweeping the crying child into his massive arms, shielding her from the gore.
“Don't look, piccola. I’ve got you,” he whispered.
He handed Lily to Dante, who immediately rushed her out of the warehouse. Vincent turned back to the Bellini sisters. They were weeping, begging for mercy, offering money, territory, anything.

“You touched my family,” Vincent said.
He didn't shoot them. He pulled out a radio and gave the order for the Commission’s executioners, who had been waiting outside, to enter. The Bellinis would face mafia justice for stealing from the council. Vincent simply turned his back and walked out of the warehouse, ignoring their screams.
