Ash's POV:
Brian and Woody came to the door soaked with rain, out of breath and splattered with blood. They seemed unable to speak, shaking and their eyes puffy from tears. My uncle, Chris wasn't with them. My oldest brothers Liam and Callum came into the sitting room where me and dad were sitting with Woody and Brian. "Céard a tharla?! What happened?!)" my father growled. Brian said nothing, instead he just stared at his shaking hands, Woody answered instead. "We got into a fight" he squeaked. My father wasn't happy with his answer, "and?" he was getting irritated. "And Chris... killed someone" Brian whimpered. We kill people often, it's not new, they've killed people too, it was part of their training. Liam was annoyed, "But where is he?" he asked, his hands clenched in his jeans pockets, covered in mud and paw prints. Before either of them could answer, one of the dogs ran in and sat down by Liam, followed by Sammie, my dad's secretary and consigliere, a serious looking man in his mid 50's, he's known my dad since they were kids (and in every picture I've seen, they always had the exact same hairstyle)
"Boss, one of our people inside the station has told us they found Chris' body at the scene of a gun fight along with the body of another man who has been identified as a member of the Cuban cartel" he told us. My mouth fell open and at the exact moment he said it, my twin brother Adam walked in, so we all heard it. Telling Rori and Torin will be hard, they loved Chris so much. "He's with your mother now" my father said before turning wand walking out of the room.
Our uncle Chris was our mother's older brother, she met our father when Chris took her to an event the mafias was holding. The story we had all heard so many times, he reminded me of my brothers, overprotective and clingy because I'm their only sister.
Marcos POV:
Seb came back with tears of fury in his eyes, face spotted with blood and his hair soaked from the rain. My Father came storming through the corridors, grabbing Seb by the collar of his slightly tacky silk shirt, "Cuéntame qué pasó! (Tell me what happened!)" he screamed, "Sebastián, te das cuenta de lo que has hecho?! (Sebastian, do you know what you've done?!)" he asked, it's been a long time since I've seen my father this worried. Seb tried to speak but my father continued, " Their territory covers just over a quarter of New York! We may not be able to continue doing business with them, what happens then? We lose profit, if we lose too much profit someone will have to lose their job and that person will be you because I don't pay you to fuck up my business!" was already exhausted from today so I got up from the brown leather armchair to leave the room, when I saw Julian standing in the doorway, not noticing that I was looking at him, he continued to watch Seb being shouted at by my dad. He seemed unbothered by the fact my dad was irritated and was just watching it all unfold. Julian has worked for us since I was a child, but he always seemed off, he just stood in the background watching everyone with an emotionless face. I think he felt my gaze as his eyes suddenly flicked towards me, before he looked at the ground and sat down on a nearby chair. I don't trust him. Diego is now dead, which means I will have to take on some of the jobs he was working on.
I ignore the scene in front of me and walk towards the door, as I opened it, Safia, who I'm guessing was trying to listen through the door, was sitting on the floor staring up at me. " I was just going to knock" she explained, "you don't have to come up with an excuse hermana" I told her before walking towards the stairs. I already had enough work to do, now I have Diego's on top of that and homework. I find the homework pointless; I already know everything high school can teach me, and I get top mar... Hold on, I don't. Not since that new girl came. Aisling, she doesn't even try to compete with me for top marks, because she gets them EVERY time. It irritates me, I've never been behind anyone other than my oldest brother Diego. I will beat her in the next test! Maybe homework can be useful?
