Flashing her lights twice, the gates opened up and jaylah drove in. Pulling up next to the house, jaylah exited the car and walked inside. "jaylah" "Dominic" he grinned "good memory" "I don't forget. Lucian in?" "The office" jaylah nodded then walked to the office. Opening the door, Lucian spoke "GET OUT" 'not likely' jaylah entered and closed the door "I said.. jaylah" "we have shit to discuss" Lucian showed a slight nod. "I pissed you off and I apologize" "no one judges me or my friendship with kalem or any of those men. From the start he has been there for me like a lot of them" "explain it" "I was sent to work there for protection" "why there?" "So I'm not too close to uncle rayal" jaylah sat down in the seat opposite Lucian "keeping family away" "well I guess" "what's happened in that time?" "I made some good mates in that house" "those six right?" "Yep. I was accused of murdering a six year old boy and sent to the prison" "Bronxs grounds?" "Yep. Whipped everyday, starved and wouldn't have had water if it wasn't for Rey" "he was working in the prison?" "Yes. Just like those men, he knew I wouldn't kill a child. He cut a brick and was giving me water every three days and bread once a week" Lucian grinned "he went against his boss for you" "yes and technically I owe him my life" "that's not all that's happened" "no so I had asked Barron.." "rayal right hand?" "Yep. To help train me" "in what?" "Protection. Got a few hits to wake my ass up" "what?" "I needed a wake up call. I was feeling sorry for myself and he picked me up. Of course kalem and Christophe were there to help me" "good" "I went out shopping for clothes as I had hit my goal weight after being skin and bones. Anyway your men spotted me" Lucian took a deep breath "what happened?" "It was my fault and uncle rayal hit me a couple of times then left it on the hands of Barron. Ended up with a broken rib. Barron wanted to stop but.." "under order he couldn't?" "Yep then uncle rayal hit me in the same spot" "shit" "oh but it gets better. The day Giovanni came in was only a few days after it happened. Kalem was shot twice and I pulled his fat ass to safety" "causing more damage to yourself?" "Well yeah. He's a brother" "a close one" "very. As I stated I would die before someone touches him" "I can see that" "got shot in the leg and Christophe was there to carry me and fixed my leg while kalem was on the other table" "where does Sally fit in?" "Sally has been around before Bronx even started. She has done a lot for me. Helped nurse me back to health after the prison. Was there to shower me, bath me, dress me. You name it she did it" "Zaire" jaylah grinned "he is one of those annoying asses, in my damn face" Lucian laughed "there's always one" "he's good value. Was there to keep me sane through the years" "and annoys the shit of you?" "Yep in a fun way".
"Well there was another day that uncle rayal came in and knocked me out cold" "broke your cheek bone" "I guess it's still noticable" "yep" "kalem had a go at uncle rayal and carried me to my room. Well uncle rayal called a hit on kalem" "those bullets?" "Yep five to the back. They lost me five times" "all hell would've broke loose" "it is" Lucian showed a slight nod "you had a visit from him this morning right?" "Yep" "what was said?" "In short, uncle rayal didn't leave me there for Bronx to take advantage of me. I'm old enough and smart enough to choose who I want to be with. He told me, I just dug my own grave" "and you think he will hit Bronx and his men?" "Yep" "I want revenge. What he did is unforgivable. He killed our family" "I'm gathering that. What I don't get is why he let you live if he didn't want you around?" Lucian chewed on the inside of lip "that I don't know. Maybe he thought I would die anyway" "but to make me believe you were slaughtered?" "So you don't hunt me down. I knew you were alive though. It took me ten years to find out but when I did, I have kept a far look into your life" as the door opened up, Lucian looked straight at it. "bronx" "the car is where it was. Thanks" "it's fine" bronx took a seat next to jaylah "so you have known the entire time?" "Both situations. It turns out that dad hid it from both of us and rayal took the reins" "replaced all his men too" "yep. He took them out one by one" "now we have the issue of him wanting to hit Bronxs" "so we team up. I have someone inside" "not as stupid as Elliot I hope. He was ridiculous" Lucian smirked as he grabbed a file out and threw it on the desk in front of jaylah.
Opening the file, jaylah looked between Lucian and the file "he thinks he just works for uncle rayal right?" "Yep. I contacted him and told him the truth" "how did he react?" "He was always close with dad and mom" "yeah I'm aware. So he wants revenge?" "Yep. He plays the part well. I believe he's fifth" jaylah nodded as she looked through Brandons file "alright, so you are waiting for the go?" "Yep. I think it's best we introduce my men to yours Bronx. My house is unknown and safe while we aren't here" "right. I'm happy with that. When?" "Now" jaylah internally grinned. Lucian is much like her. When he wants something done, it's straight away. "Let's do it. I'm driving" "kidding yourself" "you aren't licensed" "yeah but I'm better" Lucian chuckled "whose car is that?" "Rey's" "nice car" "I think so. It goes fast" "well. We survive this, you better get your license" "argh she doesn't need encouragement".
Exiting the office, Bronx and jaylah followed Lucian to a large open common room. "Men" "boss" seeing Sarah look at jaylah, a small grin showed on her face "we have joined forces. We will be taking my uncle down" "yes boss" "good. Follow jaylah" "I hope you can keep up" Lucian laughed "move it".
Jaylah grabbed her phone out and dialled vexs number "you even have vexs?" "Of course I do. He's a brother" Bronx nodded.
Walking outside, they got in the car and jaylah connected it to blue tooth.
"Jaylah where the hell did you go?" "Rey knew. We are coming back with friends" vex internally grinned "the gates will be open. Tell em to park around back" "alright see you soon".
"Whose boss?" "Well you didn't call to warn them" "okay I see your point. they would've felt threatened" "correct".
Dialling Lucian's number, jaylah drove down the drive way as cars started to follow her. "Jaylah" "park your cars around the back" "left or right?" "Right" "done".
Seeing the gates open and not a man in sight, jaylah internally grinned. 'every man is with us' taking off out of the driveway jaylah grinned as she seen the other cars pick up and do the same. "I like their driving" Bronx grinned "why don't you have a license?" "Never needed it but I did learn to drive from Tyson" "what?" "Don't you keep track of your men?" "Obviously not as much as I should" "yeah I can see that" 'how does this woman always get around me and my men?. How did I not notice?' pulling up in the drive way, jaylah made sure the car was hidden then got out. "Well boss?" Bronx smirked as he looked at jaylah "take em" "what?" "Take the reins" "it's your men" "my men or not, you are my partner. It's also your brother and your uncle" "okay what happened to the boss?" "He fell" jaylah internally grinned "let's wait for them to come around the corner".
"Boss and jaylah are back" "so we wait?" "Yep" "oh fucking hell look at all those cars" kalem and Zaire both grinned "it's seems we might have enough human power" "let's find out what they have to say" "you don't think they will cross us?" "Nope" vex looked at kalem "you were there. what's it like?" "Lucian is exactly like jaylah" "then I trust em" "you put all your faith in one woman?" "Well she hasn't killed you has she?" Gerald grinned "nope" "so what do you think?" "I don't give a shit what he says, she has always done right by us" "he's not wrong" "alright so we wait for all of them to come in and see what they say" "I'm curious to meet this brother" "they look so fucking similar it's scary".
