"Until we find a road sign or something, there's not much I can do about that." And that galled me to no end.
"Well, let's see if we can find a car at least. I'd rather be a moving target than a sitting duck."
It took me a moment to figure out exactly what he said and what it meant, but once I did I whole-heartedly agreed with Tony.
"How many sets of keys did you find?" I asked.
"Two."
"Let me see them." Maybe I could figure out the car by the design of the key.
Once Tony handed over the keys, I looked at each one before glancing up and looking around. "Look for a small car, probably a two door. A Fiat."
I hated Fiats, but at the moment I'd take what I could get.
It wasn't hard to spot considering there were only a few cars parked near the warehouse and two of them were trucks. We climbed in as quickly as we could and when I started up the motor, I made sure to keep the lights off.
"Keep your head down," I told Tony as I put the car in gear and started driving. If anyone saw us escaping, I didn't want him hit by a stray bullet.
This car was a joke. If we were chased, they'd catch us in seconds. It had no go power at all. I was just thankful we weren't trying to go over any mountain ranges. We'd never make it.
I grabbed my cell phone out of my pocket and tossed it at Tony. "Get Vinnie's phone number out of my cell phone, but use the one you picked up to make the call. As soon as you have the number, turn the cell phone back off. I don't know if we're being tracked or not."
"Is turning it on a good idea then?"
"Probably not, but I'm not calling anyone else and we need help." I was quickly losing trust in the people in our organization and that was not a good thing. There was a rat somewhere. We just needed to survive until we found him. "Put it on speaker."
"Who is this?" someone asked in a snappish voice a moment later.
"Vito Antonelli," I replied. "I need to speak with Mr. Borelli. It's urgent."
"One moment, sir."
At least they seem to know who I was.
"Vito?" Vinnie asked several seconds later.
"Mr. Borelli, Mr. D'Angelo and I seem to have found ourselves in a bit of trouble."
Tony snorted.
"What kind of trouble?" Vinnie asked.
"Our car was run off the road and Mr. D'Angelo and I were kidnapped. We managed to escape, but we have no idea where we are or where we can go to get to safety."
"Vito was beat to crap," Tony stated. "He needs medical care."
"We were kidnapped outside of Tortona, but we're by the ocean now."
"Try to figure out where you are," Vinnie said. "I can call my grandfather and have him send some men for you. You'll be safe at his estate until you can recover. I give you my word of honor."
"Well, I just saw a sign for the Pretoria Fountain," Tony said. "Does that help?"
"You're in Palermo?" Vinnie exclaimed.
Maybe?
"Luca is based in Palermo," Vinnie continued. "Let me give him a call and see if he can help you out."
