THE GANG LEADER

BLAKE:

We've taken down 4 warehouses in a spam of a month. My men's lives were as risk, some of my members have died. Casualties always tends to happen in missions like this once. People always die. But they didn't die in bane. My enemies, most of them are dead, others are in hiding. Some left the mafia behind, leaving The Wild Dogs and Scorpions with little followers.

I've won.

"What's the plan boss? Don't you want to get rid of them once and for all?" Josh question, farrowing his eyebrows. "I do. But for now we're safe. I'm not going to put in jeopardy the safety of my men and Rodrigo's." I informed. My members had suffered a lot, putting my safety first. Not caring about their own lives. "Their safety will still be in jeopardize if we don't finish them." He had a point, but for now I had other matters to attend too. Right now, I'll have to travel to Spain. Rodrigo has always being there for us. And for that I'll personally gift him with some guns of appreciation. Keeping in mind that he offered his men to help us at our time in need.

On the other hand their's a ball, that unfortunately I have to attend to in two months. Members of other mafias will attend. Meaning I'll have an opportunity to make some alliances, sell guns, and partner up. Their support will help us grow, putting  others smaller gangs under our disposal. Being on good terms with other big mafias, put our reputation on top. Giving us more power and a reason to be afraid of us, that's the whole reason I'll attend.

I motioned for my men to leave, however one was left behind. He stood there until everyone left before speaking. "Do you need something?" I asked at the person who was left behind. "Boss, I've done a bit of digging. And I just have this feeling as if there's someone else infiltrated." He commented, his voice determined. "Do you have proof?" I asked, frustrated by his comment. "No, but I have this hunch. I just find it odd, how did she knew the code and had access to the guns?"

He had a point there. I sat there, thinking on his comment. "Simple, she somehow found that information. She had access to my office and everyone's trust. That woman had all of us fooled and literally could do whatever she needed to do right in front of us and none of us would suspect a thing."

Josh's face fell with my statement, but didn't say a word. As soon as we finished with this conversation he left my office. But what he said made me think, made me wonder of the possibility that there might be someone else who helped her.

I walked down the stairs to the basement of the warehouse. I made my way to the two room where my guests were staying at. Clark and the other guy, who I've never cared to check his name, stayed at. Their bruised naked bodies laid on the ground too weak to even attempt to escape. There whole body were full of cuts, slashed and all bruised up. Without a second thought I ended their suffering with a gunshot in between their eyes. I didn't have any use to them anymore.

"Boss." I female voice called. "You finishing up their suffering?" She smirked, raising an eyebrow while she sucked her scarlet red bottom lips. "I don't have any use to them." I replied, making my way to the exit. Her arm wrapped around my shoulder, stopping me from leaving. Anger and disgust filled my chest, as my stomach tightened under her touch. "So, I've heard you need a date for the gala." Tiffany interjected, I grasped her hand removing it from me. "I don't need a date."

The truth was that I do need one. You see, the mafia has their old rules which people follow. Which tends to complicate things. I've been a bachelor all my life, all my reign. I'm 33 meaning that at my age people are waiting for me to settle down, have a family, a wife, kids, an heir. Usually before inheriting the throne the heir gets married. For me that wasn't the case, since my father had died and the mafia needed a leader. But people are talking, not having a heir at the age of mine is rare. It gives the impression that the leader is weak and without an heir to inherent the throne means more risk for that gang.
