Guns and Sons

Chapter 1

I look ahead as I cruise the streets of London.I try calling Leo but he won't pick up his damn phone.

"Leo please would ya pick up your cursed phone!" I screamed as I was redirected to voicemail again.

I drove right through as the gates opened and sped through the endless forest . Finally seeing the huge mansion in view I slow down and make my way to the entrance. I park quite abruptly before the door and head out.

I storm through the doors and head straight for the  mahogany doors to Clint's office.

Passing by a few terrified maids I pay no heed to them and knock . Last time I didn't I walked in on him and his wife Samantha doing the dirty. When I hear a faint come in I enter and sit down.

"Hello Pops . Do excuse my french but what bullshit do you expect from me  by asking me to find a faded black and white picture with no name ,surname nothing ,nada huh?"

"I don't expect anything from you but I do expect it from little Leo."

I huff and pout at him ."This better not be a waste of my time . I hope he's somebody meaningful"

He smiles at me ."Trust me he is somebody important alright" I knew that smile and it's one of mischief .

"What did you do?"

"Find him and find out"

"But pops..."

I began to whine. I knew I was acting like a kid but I couldn't help it . I started crying. Pops sighed and came round his desk and pulled me in his arms.

"What did they do now ?"he said clearly annoyed.

"None of them are picking up their phones." He gave me a look of irritation which made me sob more . Pops pinched the bridge of his nose and arose from his seat. Pulling his phone out he dials a number I assume is Nardo. The line connects

" Are you ignoring your mum boys ?"

"Khuluuu no ! We're just busy"

"But you answered me. What are you really doing boys ."

"We were out to have fun." I had quieted down before but then I started crying again. I took my stuff and stood up . I could here the boys ask if that was me but I didn't care. I walked out in tears and this was freaking everyone out except Pops . Today was just one of those days I just cried for petty stuff.

I walked out and hopped into my car and drove home . I saw a Lamborghini Aventador SV behind me and got angry.

An hour later I was back at home and I raced to the front door after recklessly parking my car at the front.

"Mom" they called out as I began to go up the stairs. Halting in my steps I look back at them .

"What?"I question..

"We're sorry . Why are you crying ? You never cry."

" I don't forgive you though boys . I have an off day where I don't know whether it will be good or bad and worse there is a ball which could mean danger yet you dissapeared leaving poor old mum worried. I bought you phones ,use them . "

"Just like you do right" said Leo with a hint of sarcasm and I couldn't help but laugh. I opened my arms and they immediately tackled me in a hug .

"Sorry momma . We promise to tell you where we go next time."

I wipe my tears and look up at them and then scowl.

" 5'2 is the worst curse one could have with six feet tall kids . I swear when you're 30 you'll be gum trees." They laughed at my statement and I ruffe their hair.

"We've got a ball to get dressed for c'mon."

I smile at them and head upstairs to my room.

•°•°•°•

Two hours later I descend the stair in a long floor length black dress with a slit by my thigh and a long train . As the dress was an off shoulder I wore only my necklace and my band. Two things I never took off.  I heard the boys say wow and I grinned.

"God we have to ready ourselves for all the old perverts who'll be staring at mom. I swear imma  punch one of them one day." I throw my head back in laughter and bite the inside of my cheek to hold back my smile as they both kiss each of my cheeks. I hook my arm between both of theirs  as we move to my Audi R8 Spyder. We get in and drive into the city of London .

Our journey is full of us shouting out the lyrics to Own Brand Freestyle by Felix the1st. I was crazy and it rubbed off on them. We stop before the valet and make our a way through the red carpet to the entrance of the ball with each of the boys beside me . Stepping into what seems to be the Foyer we are approached by a Butler .

"Ma'am this is a masquerade ball ,you need a mask ."

The boys whipped out masks and I stare at them in shock .

"What you get for not reading the card "said Nidas.

I scoff and turn around then spot a black mask on the ground . I felt the urge to pick it up and when I did it was beautiful. Reminded me of him. Putting it on even though it's not very feminine I give my son's a sad smile and the guards open the large mahogany doors. With my arms hooked in those of my boys I stand at the top of the stairs as everyone turns towards us.

We descend the stairs as people murmur among each other. We reach the bottom and my babies leave me settled by our reserved table and go to work on our plan.
