Chapter 4
'I am sorry for being late', the woman apologized when she entered the room.
It was a kind of conference room in the 56th floor of a very high business building. Scorpia owned the building. Usually they didn't meet here but for their actual assignment they couldn't lose time by travelling back to Italy.
The twelve people now all sat at the table. They were complete now, the head of Scorpia.
'Thank you for finally joining us', Dr. Medici said nicely and smiled to the other people.
Eleven of them were men, the woman who had arrived lately was the only female.
'So, what can you tell us about Special Agent DiNozzo?', he asked turning to her.
'He has been working for NCIS for over ten years now and was a cop in Baltimore before. Therefore we shouldn't mess around with him if we want at least one assignment being fulfilled', she explained.
'Our last four missions were destroyed by MI6. There is no reason why this should work out. Our organization has become ridiculous', a man from the other side of the table shouted. He was small and had a Greek accent.
All heads turned to him. He looked at the Dr. Medici who sat at the front end of the table and to the woman who sat right next to Dr. Medici.
'Then why have you joined us if we are not worth rising again?', the head of Scorpia asked. He was an impressive man, around forty years old, strong and muscular, obviously Italian but spoke good English, although with Italian accent, he was tall, dark green eyes and short, brown hair.
'I thought we would actually have a plan. And not take along a mandate by any lag who just wants a cop to die', the Greek man said.
'Well, then you think we are not fulfilling what we are meant to do? When our last four missions failed we should start with easy things and work our way up to one of the most feared organizations, shouldn't we?', Dr. Medici asked ironically and with a loud voice, but without losing temper.
He turned to the woman next to him and nodded to her.
Without hesitation she pulled out a little small gun she had carried in a holster at her black leather trousers and shot the man directly between the eyes. The Greek fell down and didn't move anymore. Nobody of the other head members even winced, the Japanese looking man opposite to the now empty seat carried on cleaning his glasses and put it back on his nose.
'Where have we stopped, Caroline?', Dr. Medici asked.
The woman put back her gun. 'We should not take along any unnecessary risks concerning Tony DiNozzo or NCIS. We should act fast and precise. As soon as our client is out of prison we should kill Tony', she said.
'Good. Mr. Sitaram', Dr. Medici turned to an Arabic man at the other end of the table, right next to the empty seat.
'You will make sure that our client gets free passage out of prison and to Canadian border and that he is guarded until we finished our mission.' He side-looked to Caroline. 'Then you make sure he pays.' Mr. Sitaram nodded.
'And you will carry on this mission', Dr. Medici smiled at Caroline who nodded.
'Anyone else wants to mention something?', he asked and looked into the round.
The ten men and the woman shook their heads. Scorpia's head included people from different nations but they only spoke English during their meetings. There were crime bosses of different cities among them, but also a professor, a lawyer and a physicist.
'Okay', Dr. Medici said. 'Then our meeting for today is over. I will let you know when we meet the next time.'
The men started to go.
'Ah, Caroline?', the Doctor said. She had stayed seated anyway.
'Would you mind to find a replacement for him?', he asked her and nodded over to the dead body on the floor.
'Do you have anyone specific in mind?', she asked.
Dr. Medici smiled. 'Yes. I've heard your little sister would finish her studies this month. Does she already have an occupation for afterwards?', he asked gently.
She smiled.
'I think she would really like the idea', Carolina said.
Dr. Medici nodded and both stood up and walked out of the office building. The Greek was found the same day floating in the river.
I'd appreciate reviews... ;)
