The mafia king and the mafia queen

Dark woods (Chapter 29)

Jasiel is the second youngest one. It's like he never smiles, he is the most ruthless one. His voice is always monotonic. I have seen him smile barely once or twice in my two years as the mafia queen, I mean I knew he smiled, the mask doesn't let us see. I had become the mafia queen few weeks after the forgotten year, yeah I call it that. Coming back to the topic, dark woods are a mafia gang. They are not as big as the Mexican, Russian or Italian mafia, but have always been against us. Now they will surely attack my place. I groaned, again they are trying it.

Evalina: Don't they have any other work to do? 

Nataniel: I guess you should inform your gang about it, and we all should go to Russia and make them stop all this mess they are creating. 

Evalina: Yeah. 

How am I supposed to convince my brothers now? I have to get the letter also. After sometime we all left. I hope my brothers might have not come by now, or I'll have to listen a whole lecture. I went home after removing my mask and the usual jumpsuit. I reached home and luckily they all were yet to come. I went to the dining room not in the mood of going upstairs. How am I going to convince them? I was thinking about this when someone jumped behind me, holding my shoulders, making me scream. 

Greg: Lini, it's me. 

Arlin: What the hell Greg. 

We both went outside to see the brothers going upstairs. 

Arlin: Guys. 

I said gaining everyone's attention. They turned to me. 

Arlin: Can we go to Russia for a few days?

I asked hesitantly. They all smiled, immediately agreeing, making me smile. Aside from the dark woods and the letter there is one more reason I want to go there, for my dad, Zavid. If not find more about him, I want to at least visit his and mom's grave. I might not remember them but they seemed to be very  important to me and loved me. I was really happy that I can go to Russia. I was about to call Cole when I remembered he and his mother are going out, Marco didn't join them as usual. And he hates calls during these time, he leaves his phone at home due to that. We all went to the dining room instead. After dinner we were still sitting there when I got a call, the ID showed Cole, did they return so early? It was a video call. All my brothers looked at me. 

Arlin: It's Cole, but none of you are gonna say a single word if you want to stay alive. 

With that I picked the call with a smile, not bothering to see my brothers' reaction. 

Cole: Hey Parker. 

Arl: Hey Cole. You and your mother came back early? 

Cole: Last minute mom got a night shift, so she had to go. 

Arl: Oh. By the way where is Marco, you never let me see him also. I only know he is your twin. 

My brothers stiffened but kept quiet. Did Cole tell them something?

Cole: He is not at home. 

He gave me a forced smile but I smirked in return. 

Arl: Brothers, come here, I want to show you something. 

They looked confused but came and surrounded me. Now they could see Cole, and Cole could see them. 

Cole: Hey guys. 

They just nodded, not even smiled. Their eyes said they knew who I was talking to. 

Arl: So let me introduce you all. These are my brothers and this is Marco. You are really a dumb person Marco, you didn't realise that in these years I know Cole very well. Cole and his mother have gone for the outing, it wasn't cancelled. Cole never misses the time with his mother, the reason he leaves his phone at home. He would never smile if he lost such times, even if he is talking to me. Also, I call him Evans. And if you can't talk to me like Marco, and have to act like you are Cole just because your brother doesn't let you, better don't talk to me. If you try calling me again using my brother's identity again, it won't be good for you. I think my brothers might want to talk with you, so I should go. Bye. 

I smiled evilly at his scared face before going. He knows I am Evalina, yet he tried this trick on me. I don't know why he took me to the cafe/club, but what I regret is not understanding at that time that he is not Cole. But the person in my dream hitting someone was Cole, I can never mistake him. That is supposed to mean both the brothers were there, then why did Marco act like Cole? I'll have to ask Cole about it. I had reached my room so I lied on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Maybe my brothers know something about it. I got off the bed and went to the dining room again to see they were about to exit, but I was late in seeing that and crashed into them, making me fall down. First time I have bumped into a group of people. I got up again to see them trying to control their laughter.
