[B]Bella's Condo, Downtown Atlanta
COLLAB with [@Chulance][/B]
[hr]
Bella found herself pacing again. If it wasn't one problem it was another. Now she was just waiting on Hector to call about her current concern... Ramon and his whole operation getting wiped off the board like it was nothing. The drug supplier was Hector Salzara's, but this all happened on her turf. Bella didn't care that Ramon lost his life, she cared that she lost his cog in the wheel that represented her hold on Atlanta. She stopped as her phone vibrated on her kitchen counter. Facetime. She answered it, her face hard and cold.

[Color=magenta]"Hector. You have to tell me what the FUCK is going on."[/color] She was clearly passed the pleasantries. 

Hector tapped his thumbs on the keyboard, usually, he was the model example of calmness & precision. But things were getting out of hand he'd lost another 50k, and got word that some of Bella's best distributors were torn apart. 

“Adora Zayas, she must have an ability. As much of a nuisance as Marco was, he was nothing short of effective.”

“Sir, we were unable to get to Marco before local law enforcement, & media, it’s already made the news in Atlanta, college student’s head ripped off, two other victims torn apart by a superhuman individual they suspect to have inhuman strength or some ability to exhibit excessive unnatural force, an inside source from inside APD says they recovered Marco’s phone, but it’s severely water damaged.”

“A Few routes might get seized, a couple grunts arrested, that’s of no concern. But this stupid puta Adora has now managed to get a quarter-million dollars from me, & although I was no fan of Ramon, he was effective in moving coke in Bella’s network. “ He took a sip from a red bull can he had on his desk.

“You believe Adora Zayas, and whatever ability she wields is responsible for both incidents.”

“Greg Konnovich’s death as well, a CIA operative in his prime on our side, that’s a loss that’s unacceptable, she’s well on her way to becoming a problem more costly than the funds she’s stolen. Raise the bounty on her to $100,000, I want her dead seven days from now at all costs, leave!” Hector barked at his employee who took note of what he said and left to ensure the message was delivered. He picked up his phone, swiping to Bella’s name and pressed face-time, tapping his fingers on his desk until he heard a sound to indicate she picked up.

“Such a harsh tone considering all the problems are coming from your turf. Clearly, we’re dealing with a problem of a super-powered nature. As far as Ramon’s murder I’d like to know if you have any intel on the culprit as I have a problem and money to pay you to fix it. Adora Zayas, a woman I’d taken a liking too in the past, and a launderer with potential like you, she was swept up in The Incident. Some of my best found her, and according to Atlanta’s evening news they’ve been torn to shreds in a much more brutal fashion then Ramon’s team. The real question is what power might Adora have, what power did the person who took out Ramon have, oh and you know our CIA connect Greg Konnovich the invisible man who helped us get in a record amount of cocaine into Georgia he’s dead as well, at Adora’s hands….Suffice to say WE have a problem on our hands.”

[Color=magenta]"Let us get one thing straight. OUR problem is focused on your people. All because you were mixing business with pleasure we have three big players out of the game and money missing.[/color] Bella sighed deeply. She felt she had every right to bitch at Hector, but it wouldn't fix anything. [Color=magenta]"I can play the blame game all day, but we should definitely fix this... I got the name of a guy named Jace. I can't confirm that he was the one who hit Ramon and his guys, but I hear he got a business offer from this Jace guy today. No one knows who this guy is. He's the only abnormal slice of this shit pizza. I'd bet my life this shit isn't just a coincidence. You heard of the guy before?"[/color] Bella's calm and cool nature was beginning to take hold. She was still waiting for more info on this Jace character. 

Hector winced as if her words struck him like a blade, she'd put the situation into an entirely different perspective.  [i] I suppose I'm not blameless in this situation, Miss Nova has a point. [/i]  "Jace...Jace...you remember Cornell Williams? He got his nephews Devon, & Jace Williams moving product, and they got nabbed, according to my sources their reckless behavior is why they got caught and why a good bit of product was wasted. Cornell paid their debt, but I cut ties with them hmm." Hector wanted to think about this, the flame of vengeance was burning in Cornell but because of the relationship he'd had with his father, he spared him & his nephews.  "If Jace Williams has an ability then he's responsible, Ramon was his replacement, your father was right  I should have had them killed but I spared them because of past loyalties to my own father. Adora Zayas, & Jace Williams must die, they were both capable & dangerous individuals prior to powers, I can send extra manpower & weaponry if needed, but you yourself were vaporized Bella and yet your still here, Adora & Jace must die. If  it's necessary to issue any bounties on any of their associates contact Pedro and he'll issue the funds."

Bella nodded her head, the name Jace Williams seemed to echo in her head. Adora Zayas was secondary to her, but her actions would soon touch her money in due time. Hector almost deserved this grave he dug himself in, but Bella needed his organization.

[Color=magenta]"Jace Williams. It's crazy how he has ties to you too? I'm starting to see a trend here Hector... I can have him dealt with. I'll run it on my side. We will not create a fed shit show for two people. Their names and ties are enough... Hector if I end up having to kill them myself..."[/color] Objects around Bella began to tremble for a moment as she shut her eyes at the thought of getting her hands dirty. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. [Color=magenta]"There WILL be a change to how money flows between us. Protect your people and don't let her bait you. That's all I need from you. My father spoke highly of you. Don't make him a liar."[/color]

Hector's face turned into a scowl, Jace Williams was an unexpected nuisance to rise again, Adora Zayas a constant thorn in his side regardless of her new superhuman powers. "When your network is vast & reaching you tend to interact with a multitude of people. We're dealing with an entirely different ball game then before, I myself had a gun to Adora's head when she was disintegrated in front of me and my ship swept up in a freak wave. " He stopped speaking the whole incident still infuriated him so close to taking care of this loose end before a literal supernatural event intervened. "I do not intend to disappoint the reputation Victor left of me,  our friendship extended beyond business so this is personal to me.  If you do end getting blood on your hands directly, I'll make sure to compensate you accordingly Bella, you have my word. After all, you have to fight fire with fire, power with power,  let me know when they're dead."

[Color=magenta]"I will keep you posted. Please watch your back, Hector. I'm pissed at you, but it would be shitty to lose you to that bitch. Bye Hector."[/color] Bella ended the call and sighed. [Color=magenta]"Fuck... I just have to make some moves."[/color]
