Chases POV

"Nah bro, they're like two whole different things" Asher looked at Carter with a look saying your unbelievable. "How though?" Carter said putting his arms up in question. I sighed. Here I am, at a diner, listening to these two idiots, argue over waffles being pancakes with abs. I'd simply tune them out but I'm sitting in between them.

"Your just jealous that you don't have some sexy abs like the waffles!" Carter just have him a cocky look and said with a girly voice "ashy baby, my abs are the sexiest things alive. Your delusional" it was silent, until they both shot out laughing. I just grinned in amusement. These two may be idiots but, even if I had the chance, I wouldn't trade them for anyone else. They helped me have a somewhat normal childhood.

When I wasn't training with my father, I was usually sitting at home, studying for hours on end. But Carter and Asher made sure to drag me out of my room away from the struggles of my life. Our mothers were all best friends so we grew up together.

We were all so close until we started to drift apart at the age of six, when my father decided to start my training to be the next leader of his precious Mafia. I didn't have time for them anymore, with being constantly busy every hour of the day. We only saw each other during school, but we were barely able to talk, as we had to listen in during our lessons. Come the age of 10 and they were fed up. They dragged me away from all my books and took me outside everyday, to make sure my life seemed a little normal.

I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt someone nudging me. I looked over to see Carter pointing his head towards the window we were sitting beside. "It's Leo's goons. What are they doing here? Are they looking for a death wish?" Asher said also looking towards them. I get up and exit the diner with the other two behind me. Carter speaks up "what are you three idiots doing showing your faces around here?" They look over in shock, obviously not expecting to see us here. "Ah you know, just chilling" Luke, the little leader of the three musketeers, as me and the boys like to call them. The other two were called..... yeah I couldn't give two shits about them to remember.

"Uh huh" Asher said. They all gave each other looks, silently communicating with each other, then they made a run for it. We bolted after them chasing them through the streets. After a lot of twisting and turning through different streets we lost sight of them. "FUCK" I shouted. No one gets away from me, especially those morons. I called in a few men to help look for the three idiots. For all we know they could have split up and gone completely different ways.

***
Me and my men had been searching for them, for around an hour, when suddenly, we hear voices from an alley we haven't yet checked. I turned the corner to see Luke and Nevaeh, of all people, arguing. Of course it's fucking Nevaeh. The girl practically turns up everywhere! First the gym and now here, in the ally, with someone who could have killed her for Shit sake.

"Oh yeah!? Wel-" before he could finish, whatever shit was going to come out of his mouth, I hit him over the back of his head with my gun, knocking him out. I looked over at her. "trust you to be arguing with the people trying to kill you" I say rolling my eyes. "Hey I'll let you know tha-" I cut her off by telling her to shut up. She replied by putting her ear in my face calling me a jerk and asking me to repeat myself.

We were cut off by Asher asking what happened to the other two. "Uhh They're knocked out?" She says confused, tilting her head to the side, like a puppy. Cute.

Carter then rephrases and asks who knocked them out. When Nevaeh said she did they all looked shocked. I wasn't, I've seen her fight at the gym before, she could handle herself pretty well. Next of all, Nevaeh's walking up to Carter, and hitting the pressure point on his neck, making him immediately fall unconscious. I kept my face void of any emotion, but inside, I'm dying to burst out laughing. Carter's big, fucking ego, is gonna be bruised when he wakes up.
