Chapter 144 The Mafia Don Announces His Decision

• The young Don, Piers Delano, had not been able to trace Hila, and he was growing uneasy. Not panicky, for Piers knew better than to panic; his wife was tougher than most people believed. But he had to alert her, and for that, he was reaching out to all the people he knew she would be in contact with,
• She had only set off on her bike, which she had discarded at a favourite haunt of hers, an old pub which was owned by a one-eyed ex-SEAL, who would lay his life down for Hila. She had once rescued the old man’s daughter from a drug-peddling gang, returning her to her father’s care.
• Piers drew up before the pub. If anyone knew Hila’s whereabouts, it would be old Carl.
