Their Time.

Chapter 1 - Meeting

You'd think being a Mafia boss isn't that hard, right?

I mean, you have hundreds of people under you following every command you give them, including your underbosses and second in command.

But none of that matters when there are constantly enemies coming at me with threats, shootouts.

And the stress of not making the wrong decision, as one wrong move, can lead to multiple deaths.

Lynx is my second in command. He's quiet, responsible, and normally doesn't talk to others besides us.

Meaning me and the other two assholes; Sayer, who is in control of the wear houses, and Eden, the computer hacker.

Those two never stop bickering about anything and everything, though they do come through when needed.

Those three have been along my side since we were all 13. We partly grew up together.

•••
My parents died at a very young age, leaving me with the unknown future of becoming a Russian mob boss. My uncle took me in after they passed, and I ran into Lynx shortly after.

Lynx had been living on the streets since he was 10. He's survived through underground fighting and has been doing it for 3 years.

He ended up helping me one day when a group of older men robbed and beat me senseless. Later when my uncle met him, he saw the potential and sincerity in Lynx, which led him to invite Lynx to stay with us.

A year later, Eden and Sayer showed up at our front door, begging for medical help. Sayer was carrying a beat-up, bruised, and shocked Eden in his arms.

My uncle heard them talking to me and came running to them. He took them in as well.

All along, he saw the potential for the future in each one of them to become a part of the Mafia, to help me become a successful Don.

Currently, we are dealing with the Italians stealing shipments, killing men, and sending threats.

They never quit, no matter how many times we continue to destroy them.

Fucking idiots don't give up. They should know they'll never  win.

I'm sitting in my office drinking whiskey and signing documents when Eden comes barging into my office.

"How many times have I told you to knock, hm?" I asked.

"Yes, I know, but we have a location for the Italians," he responds.

That gains my attention. I raised my brow, silently telling him to continue.

"They are at the Dens Bar. Lynx is dealing with the two men who we captured as of right now. So it's just me and Sayer."

I stand up from my seat and slam back the rest of my whisky.

"Let's go," I said.

We all head towards the 'Rolls-Royce wraith black badge' and enter. Sayer sits in the passenger seat, Eden in the back, and me driving.

I pulled out of the estate and followed the directions to Den's Bar.

———————————————
About 20 minutes later, we arrived. I park in a secluded area and turn off the car.

I turned to the boys and said, "Okay, we are going to wait until they come out, then we are going to follow them discreetly."

They nod back in response and sit back in their seats to avoid being seen.

——————————————
10 minutes later, we see the second in command of the Italian boss and some other men, whom I'm guessing are just underbosses.

They enter two different cars, pull out of the parking lot, and begin making their way somewhere. I followed the car on and followed them a couple of cars behind.

We followed them for about 15 minutes until they fucking spotted us because Eden told me to turn right as they did.

Fuck.

They speed up and race through the other cars that are driving on the street.

I speed up as well and begin cutting others off to gain on them. We did this for about 10 minutes until Sayer yelled at me to stop the car.

I slammed the brakes fast, causing the car to swerve off to the side and the tires to screech.

We exit the car, Sayer and Eden start arguing with one another while I look over our surroundings, not taking any chances.

"I fucking told you not to turn as they did. Now they know we are on their ass," Sayer yells at Eden, who screams back.

Omg, they never shut the hell up. This isn't the time to be arguing over who's fault it is.

"Will you both shut the hell up? It doesn't matter who blew it, they know now. We can't change what has happened. We need to get home and figure out what's next." I told them.

I turned towards them and saw a shadow peeking at us behind a tree. I locked eyes with the boys and nodded my head at the tree. They finally shut up and followed behind me as I approached the tree.

As I came closer, I could now see it was a girl with brown hair, wearing jeans and a sweater. I walk up behind her and watch as she turns, but runs right into my chest and shrieks.

"What were you doing, little one, hm?" I asked while staring down at her.

She finally lifts her head to look me in the eye, giving me the chance to make out her face.

Damn, she's beautiful. With big wide brown eyes, full plump pink lips that look so kissable, high cheekbones, and full brown eyebrows matching the brown hair and eyes.

I stop checking her out and realize she's been doing the same. I cleared my throat to gain her attention.

She finally answered my question. "I-I was going back home." I raised my eyebrows at the stammered answer, which was a lie.

"If you were going home, then why were you standing behind a tree?" I asked her, as her answer didn't add up to the position she's in right now.

I watch as she just stares up at me with her big brown eyes. I clear my throat so she can answer my question and stop staring at me like she wants me to kiss her, cause fuck I do.

I turned to Eden and Sayer and made a nod to my head, telling them to head to the car and wait for me. Which they did. I watch as they both walk to and enter the car.

I turned back to the beautiful girl and told her: "You need to get back home, little girl. It's dark and dangerous at this time of night. You should be in bed sleeping by now."

She scrunches her eyebrows, confused at my statement. She shakes her head and smiles at me.

Damn, she's got an addicting smile.
