Chapter 14: The Codex
Stanley could see that he had screwed up. The timing aligned perfectly for his demise. Just as he lost Bambi, they learn that Bambi was the target. What is this if not his ill-fate?
"This is good... Now Paul Romano will do everything to find Mellissa," he said trying to let Tony see the silver lining of the situation. He didn’t want to die.
Randy agreed with Stanley. They’ve tried with all their resources to find where they are and it was not going anywhere. Paul Romano is much more well-connected. "You can join hands with Romano~"
"Join hands?" Tony scoffed. "Do not stop looking for Mellissa and Andrew. There are only a few who would dare to butcher Andrew Romano’s wife. Start there."
"You can talk to Paul, you b@Stard!" Randy started but was ignored by everyone in the room.
"If they want Bambi, could this be about The Codex?" Henry Arletta asked. "It can’t be the ones who tried to kill her last night. So, there are two groups?"
Codex is believed to be the secret ledger Don DeAngelo had that recorded all his dealings with every powerful man in the city. Many believed it was true although Don DeAngelo never mentioned its existence. Some believed it was with the eldest daughter as she inherited everything her father owned.
It is possible that’s why she was kidnapped with her husband.
But the rumors were that Bambi was the one who had that secret ledger. No one knows what the truth was. But that myth was enough to rattle the peace of those who dealt with Don DeAngelo in the past.
It was one of the reasons the girls’ lives were in constant danger. But this time it seems like someone wants the content of the ledger. And he is willing to go to any lengths to get that ledger.
