Disclaimer I own nothing 50 shades. I have so much planned for Like Father Like Daughter. I have decided that Like Father like Daughter will be in two parts. An like with every situation the Grey's are put in, they will grow stronger together. I have updated my Pinterest page. My username is moonyblue0818.
Bob had requested this meeting to be just between the two of them. That was the first clue, something was really wrong. An the 2nd clue was the mixed look of grief and anger on his face when he arrived. The meeting was at Christians club. Danny took a few days off to take care of Jessie. When Bob arrived, Christian had a glass of whisky waiting for him. Witch was a good thing because he needed it, for what he had to tell Christian. After taking a long pull of his drink, Bob spoke.
"This is going to be hard to say Christian. So I'm just gonna come out and say it. This was no accident!"
Christian could not wrap his mind around those four words. Who could do something like that.
"Come again"
Bob closed his eyes, for a second before he spoke again.
"Jason and Aubrey's car accident was no accident. The driver drove straight for them. He did not try swerve to avoid hitting them. He went straight for them. An we ran his finger prints. He works for none other then one Keith Puddu."
Christian did not know, what to do. He was seeing red, like when that fucker threatened to put a bullet into his daughter. He threw his glass across the room. An it exploded against the wall, as if showing all the rage that was building up inside Christian. Then he flipped his desk. Bob barely had time to move. Then Christian screamed at the top of his lungs.
"DEAN GET IN HERE NOW!"
Dean ran into the room. He may have been on the main floor of club, but he heard him as if he was in the same room. He skidded into the room gun drawn. Because he had no clue what was going on. When he noticed, it was only Christian and Bob. He holstered his gun. Before he could speak, Christian spoke in the most Don voice he has ever heard Christian talk in.
"Assemble all the head capos. Tomorrow night at 9 here. Dismissed."
He called Apollonio & Tommy Gallo, they will be on the first flight out. He was calling in back up. Then he turned to Bob.
"Thanks Bob. Now I need you to pull out all the stops. I want to know anything and everything on Keith Puddu. An were is the fucker that killed my kids?"
"He is in the secured ward at the hospital. Some how the fucker got lucky. His injuries were bad, but not as bad as the Welches. The doctors says he will make a full recovery. He can be moved to the prison ward hospital in a few days, the doctors said."
"That's good, who is going to move him?"
"No one has been chosen yet, but I can always offer to do it myself. After all I am the lead on the case."
"You know that dirty cop, you told me about."
"Of course Christian. You said to keep an eye on him, till he is useful. I've been wanting to beat the crap out of him, most days."
"Well his time has come. You are his CO, he will be the one to move him."
Now Bob has known Christian long enough to know what he is thinking, with out him saying it.
"Good we can kill two birds with one stone."
"Exactly"
With that Bob left. Now he had to face the hardest task of all. Telling Danny and CJ that Keith Puddu is the reason, they have to bury their goddaughters parents. By the time Christian got home, Ana was already making dinner. Ana knew something was weighing on his mind , just by the look on his face. Ana walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his middle. Christian breathed in her beautiful scent. Something that has always calmed him down. Ana felt Christian's soft kiss to her hair.
"I was right Princess, its bad. Really bad Ana."
Ana pulled back, just a bit to look in Christian's eyes. Witch had unshed tears in them. Christian closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"The car accident was not a accident."
"What do you mean Christian?"
"Keith Puddu is the reason, why Jason and Aubrey are no longer with us."
Ana had this unsettled look on her face. A look, she only gets when she has mixture of emotions that she can't wrap her mind around.
Christian cupped her face and kissed her forehead.
"He will pay for it Ana, for taking our kids."
"I know Christian. I still can't wrap my head around it."
"I know Princess. I… No Danny and I and the rest of the men, will find him and make him pay. Apollo and Tommy are on the way. An we have three of the most feared men in Italy, staying under our roof."
That put the beautiful smile, that Christian loves so much on his Princess's face. She knew better then most, just what can happen when her daughter and those men get together.
"Ok now what Christian?"
That made Christian smile. Not just any smile. It was the smile that he only showed Ana. It was small and sweet and if anyone else saw it, they would never know he was smiling. Then Christian's special smile faded away.
"You have not told Danny yet. Have you?"
"No Princess."
Christian said with a bitter look on his face. He wished that anyone else could tell them. But he knew it had to be him. He kissed Ana's forehead then pulled out his phone. He scrolled down the his list of contacts till he found Mini Me. Then he pushed call. Still holding on to his Princess, he called his daughter.
"Hi Daddy."
Christian could feel the sadness in her voice. This is going to be one of the hardest things he has ever done.
"I need you guys to come over."
As Christian was talking, Ana mimicked eating.
"For dinner."
"Ok Daddy is everything ok."
Not once since she was little has he been able to get anything past his daughter.
"It will be baby girl. I give you my word.:"
Danny wanted to ask more questions. But she knew her Dad well enough. So she knew that what every was up, he did not want to tell her over the phone.
"Ok Daddy. CJ and I just need to get the girls ready"
"Ready?"
"They are having a PJ day."
Christian chuckled a bit.
"Just bring my Grandbaby's the way they are."
"Ok Daddy, see you in a few minutes."
With that Christian, hung up the phone. He took a deep breath. This was going to be a hard dinner. Because he will have to tell his daughter what's wrong. An he really does not want to. Then he went to his office. He called his father, Godfather and brothers and told them they needed to be at the Grove at 6:30. Witch should give them enough time for him to tell Danny and CJ. An with any luck enough time for Danny to let out some of her anger.
When Jessie and Jay baby saw there Granddad, they ran for him. An he picked them up into one big bear hug.
"Big Paw loves you two, so very much"
An he kissed both there heads. That made the girls giggle. An both at the same time spoke.
"We love you Big Paw."
He let them down and pulled Chris into his arms.
"How's my Kiddo?"
"I'm good Big Paw."
"Are you just good, what about hungry. Because your Mine made your favorite."
Chris's eyes lit up like Christmas morning. He loves his Mine's Italian Mac and Cheese. It had everything his Grandfather loved about Mac and Cheese and all the love of being an Italian. Witch put a huge smile on Christian's face.
"Why don't you get your Uncles and Aunt for Dinner."
"Ok Big Paw."
And with that Chris ran off to find his Auntie Sophia and Uncles GW, Nate and Teddy. Then it was Danny's turn to hug her Dad as he shook CJ's hand. Danny whispered in her Dad's ear.
"What are you not telling me Daddy?"
"I promise to tell you after dinner. Your Mom is going to take the kids for ice cream."
"Ok Daddy."
The family sat down and had a lovely meal. Danny kept eying Christian, as if she could read his mind. After dinner was over, Ana spoke.
"Who ever helps me clean up the dishes, gets to go for ice cream."
"Sorry Mom, I need to study for my driving test."
That made Danny and Christian chuckle.
"Study for what? You have been driving since you were 14 Fratelino." (Means Little Brother in Italian.)
That made Teddy roll his eyes. Everyone in his family knew he always went for perfection. Weather it was his baking or his school work, he always did his best in everything.
"Sorella you know I'm a stickler for perfection." (Means sister in italian)
"That you are Fratelino, that you are."
10 minutes later Ana left with her triplets and grandkids. Then Danny and CJ followed Christian into his study. They sat down, as Christian poured them some whisky. After Christian sat down, there was a dead silence in the room. After 5 minutes CJ spoke. Knowing full well that neither one will speak first.
"Uncle Christian what's going on?"
Christian sighed, before he spoke.
"We need to talk about Jason and Aubrey's car wreck."
"What is there to talk about Daddy, it was an accident."
Now Danny was really confused. Christian closed his eyes and took a very slow deep breath.
"No Mini me it was no accident. Bob called me, just before I called you. The driver of the other car was sent by Keith Puddu. "
CJ grabbed his wife's hand. Trying to keep her calm. But knowing it would not work.
"Dad please tell me, you did not just say that the accident that took my goddaughters parents, was no accident."
"I wish more then anything I could say that I miss spoke Mini Me."
That's when Christian and CJ saw it. That spark in her eyes. Like when you light a match. That told everyone, it would be in their best interest to run and hide. Christian has been told, the same thing happens in his eyes, when he gets beyond angary. Danny got up and started to pace the floor. Then out of no where, she punched the wall with all the strength she had in her left fist. She broke through the wall, she hit so hard. That's 5/8 inches of drywall cracked under the force. Something most men could not do.
CJ got up to tend to his wife. As Christian texted Elliot about the wall and Val to come and take care of his sister. By the time Val showed up Danny had calmed down a bit. But that spark was still in her eyes. It was not even five minutes of examining, that Val knew just how bad, she hurt her left hand.
"Well Danny, it looks like you have a boxers fracture."
"What the hell does that mean Val."
"It means you will be rocking s splint for at least, the next 6 weeks. You broke your pinkie finger."
"Fuckin hell"
"An you will keep it on Danny, because you can lose the ability in your hand if you don't"
When he said that, he said it with so much seriousness, all that Danny could do was nod yes. Christian let his son in, on what was going on before he left. He may work for the family as their doctor, but he did not deal with the family business stuff. He told his Dad he would let Sal know. About 15 minutes after he left, the rest of the family showed up. Mac and Carrick stopped dead in their tracks, when they saw their Granddaughter's left hand and the hole in the wall.
"What the fuck happen to your hand Ella?"
She was still so angry, but that did not stop her from being a smart ass.
"The wall wanted to fight and I won Granddad."
Both older men rolled their eyes.
"How bad is it Danny?"
"Bad enough where I will be in this splint for 6 weeks. An something tells me if I even think about taking it off, my little brother who doesn't own a gun will use one to shoot me."
That actually made Danny's Grandfathers smile a little. But it faded as soon as it arrived. Because they knew this meeting was not calle,d because Danny hurt her hand. With that they took the two seats in front of their son's desk. Danny and CJ on the couch as Christian's brothers spread out around the room.
"I'm sure you are all wondering why I called you here at the last minute and why my mini me did some redecorating to my study."
"Now that you mention it Big Bro."
Jason said to his big brother, with all the seriousness in the world. Just the simple fact that his Goddaughter was hurt, had him pissed off. Christian signed, this was not gonna be as hard as telling Danny. But it was still gonna be hard. So he was just going to say it all at once.
"Bob called me earlier about Jason and Aubrey's accident. He found evidence that it was no accident. That fucker went stright for them. An to make matters worse he linked the fucker to Puddu."
Everyone in that room started to curse. Christian was very thankful his beautiful wife took his youngest kids and Grandkids out for some ice cream. After the room quieted down a bit, he continued to talk.
"An the wall took the blunt force of Danny's anger, when she found out."
The meeting took a positive but angry turn after that. They talked about the plan for the fucker that killed Jason and Aubrey. An most importantly the game plan for that son of a bitch Puddu. So they now know just what they will do, at the meeting tomorrow with the Capos and Gallos.
The next evening after a nice meal at Bellevue, Danny and the men headed to the club. The six main Capos not including Christian's brothers were already waiting for them in the big meeting room. Apollo & Tommy arrived earlier today and where also waiting for them. When Danny and Christian walked in the room, all the men stood. They made their way to their seats and sat down. Only then did the rest of the men sit.
"Three days ago as you all know Jason and Aubrey Welch were killed. As you all also know I consider them both my kids. Now you all believe their deaths to have been an accident. Yesterday evening Bob Adams informed me that their deaths were no accident. The fucker ran into them, on the orders of one Keith Puddu."
You could hear a pin drop, it was so quiet in the room. Then out of no where a fist slammed onto the table. They all looked at the end of the table and it was Danny.
"The fucker will pay for my brother and sister's death. But I want Puddu 's head. The fucker may have drove into them, but Puddu was the one that sent him to do it."
After Christian and Danny said their peace, the meeting got under way.
"So Mr Ex informed us that Puddu is in one of his 5 houses. Bob got back to me where the house locations are. Buffalo New York, Las Vegas, Dallas Texas, Charlotte North Carolina and Rome Italy."
"Uncle did he have any clue witch house he maybe staying in?"
"No Danny. As far as he can tell all five houses are in use. But other then that, he can't say for sure witch one he is staying in."
Jason said to his Goddaughter.
"Well something tells me where ever he is staying, his old man is there. After all if he can't abuse his kids anymore, all that is left is his old man."
"Good point Danny."
MJ said to his niece.
"But how do we use that information to our benefit? "
As everyone was talking, Christian was thinking long and hard. About their next move. They had to do this just right or it could blow up in there face. Just then Christian cleared his throat. In that moment everyone in the room stopped talking.
"Here is the way I see It. We don't have enough information, to do anything. So here is what we are going to do. I want this dealt with between everyone in this room. We will break up into 5 teams.
Danny and I
Jason and Elliot
Frankie and MJ
Mac and Carrick
Apollo and Tommy
We will spilt you Capos between us five. Mac and MJ will have two because of there location. Each team will take a house. We can each use any of the guys here and the few trusted guys on my daughter, brothers or father's crew. Frankie and MJ I know you would prefer to use your guys, but I really think we should stick with what I said."
Frankie and MJ both nodded in agreement.
"We will gather intel for the next 4 weeks, because the locations are all over the map. An when the time is right we will strike at the same time. This is where you come in CJ. You will keep us all in constant contact. I want this to be fuckin perfect. Luke and Dean will look after the business side of things for the business side of things and we figure all this out."
Everyone in that room agreed it was a good plan. This will be hard a plan to excite, but it can and will be done.
Chapter 6 Tempers and Problem solving
It had been a long stressful two weeks since that meeting at Christian's club. CJ was kinda shocked at the mood swings Daniella was going through. She didn't go through that many, when she was pregnant with either of their kids. An Christian was not doing any better. Twice Ana and CJ had to make some special time, to help relief some stress for them.
Danny and her Dad were enjoying a glass of whiskey. They chose Buffalo NY , as their location. Puddu' s house is somewhere around Allentown. The area is not the finest, but it also is not a dump. Christian had Danny choose everyone's location. She said she chose Buffalo because it seemed liked the least likely spot he will be. An one of the first lessons her Father and Godfather taught her was "Never judge a book, by its cover".
