Secrets Revealed

It had been a few days after the death threat did anything really begin to come together.

"Tybalt is still clueless as to what you did!" Bentley said with a smile. "He's checked every room, every phone, pretty much everything for a possible wire tap or of some sort. He's even checked the mainframe I hacked. My worm is one hundred percent undetectable by those except the creator. He's had his brother Lawrence run over ten diagnostics checks to find any shred that you did something."

"So now we have control over his systems?" Sly asked.

"Control! We practically own him now!" Penelope said with a smile.

"Great! Then wouldn't that mean that we could get in there and get Carmelita out?" Sly asked.

"No Sly," Bentley said with a frown on his face. "Tybalt is psychotic, and is quite capable of taking you down with his own fists. Not to mention that he has enough armed guards to practically run world war three!"

"GREAT!" Sly said in anger. "Then how do we pull this off?"

"Sly! I have been taking note of everything," Bentley said, pointing to a monitor. "I have video surveillance of Carmelita's room."

"YOU DO?" Sly yelled, looking at the screen.

It showed Carmelita sitting on her bed. She sighed. And then Tybalt came in. Once again, she tried to attack him, but he instead thrashed her.

"I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS!" she screamed, only to get whacked in the face, wher she then collapsed onto the bed.

"Temper, temper Carmelita," Tybalt said.

Sly wanted to punch the screen in anger for seeing Carmelita treated like that.

"You will go through with this Carmelita," Tybalt said. "Don't you forget that that's why you're here? Your mother may have been a cop, but as far as I know, your father called all the shots, whether the law or not. Remember Carmelita? How you were his little princess? Remember how your father was 'the don'? He was doing fine and then…"

"…He ran it into the ground!" Carmelita spat.

"Excellent!" Tybalt smirked. "So then he had to make a quick scheme to get back his money, so he planned to merge my family with yours. And do you know who wee the ones to tie the knot between our families?"

Carmelita just stared at him. Her eyes emotionally filled with napalm.

"US!" Tybalt yelled, grabbing Carmelita. "We were supposed to marry! But you ran away and became a stinkin' cop like your bitch mother!"

"Don't you call her that!" Carmelita screamed as she dug her nails into Tybalt's cheek and made a deep scratch.

Tybalt retaliated by throwing her into the wall.

"You will marry me as intended!" he said, leaving the room.

Sly couldn't control his anger anymore and put his fist through the monitor.

"THAT BASTARD'S GOING DOWN!" he yelled.

"Did I just hear Sly put his fist through one of Bentley's monitors?" Murray yelled.

"Yes you did Murray," Penelope replied.

"Sly, she's the offspring of a criminal!" Alexia said. She was just as shocked at the development. 'Carmelita is a criminal?'

"She's not a criminal," Sly grunted as he pulled his bloodied fist from the monitor's remains. "Just because she was born into a patriarchal mob family doesn't mean that she's a criminal. I would have expected the same view of things from you Alexia."

Sly left the room, probably to tend to his hand, leaving everyone staring. There was an awkward silence, that was ended with Murray yelling, "HOLY CRAP SLY! What the hell did you do to your hand?"
