Chapter 13

Ethan's POV

I was leaning against the kitchen island sipping on a soda and also scrolling through my dm's. I heard a loud crashing sound from outside and a car speeding away. I ran outside and saw Emily in the driveway with the motorcycle on her leg and she's not moving.All I could see was blood. I ran up to her and saw she was breathing but not awake.

I quickly dailed 911.As soon as the lady told me the ambulance were on it's way I lifted the motorcycle of Emily's leg. I then removed my shirt and held it against her head where the blood was bleeding out,trying to cotain it until the ambulance are here.

It wasn't long before the ambulance stopped and quickly took action. They scooped up Emily and drove her off to the hospital. I was in shock. I ran to my room and grabbed a new shirt and car keys driving of to the hospital.

After calling mom I sat in the waiting area.I hope Em is alright. I really wonder who these people are trying to hurt Em.I didn't tell my gang where we moved to and nobody ever followed me. It can't be someone in the gang. They all are laying low since that shooting we had. The police are hot on a few of our trails. I am one of them. Mom also hired David to investigate Dad's murder and Emily are getting clues.

Mother come running down the hall in panic.I grabbed her into a hug and held her. She started crying loudly and I could feel her body going numb. I held her tightly trying to ease her.

After mother contained her crying and was calm we sat down drinking a coffee still waiting for the doctors. "Ethan something is going on. Something bad. I didn't tell Emily what fully happened to your dad. Ethan you can't ever tell her. Not until the truth comes out. David are working on the case and he found some new evidence." Mother said.

I flinched a little."What evidence, and what about dad's death?" I asked. "Ethan your father was part of a mafia gang. He was the leader of the gang. Protecting the weak and innocent people in the bad area's.I don't know everything he was involved with because he didn't want it to influence our family or concern us with his work."She said.

I listened with all ears."Your father couldn't leave the gang as well because it was a life sentence if you join the gang.He really tried his best to leave but it wasn't an option. The night before your father was shot, he told me he had to attend a meeting. He needed to save his gang members. I don't know what he meant by it.But I guess that that meeting was a trap. Ethan now that he is gone they will want to take his place but also his money that he left behind. I think that these thieves are something to do with your father. "She said.

Moments come flashing back of the one night that we had a set up with a mafia king.He was a big mafia lord for lots of years. My leader was furious with him and wanted him dead. We never asked any questions when we had a job to do. We were setting a trap for the mafia king.No one ever knew how he looked because it was a rule in the mafia world. The king will hide his identity unless he has a personal thing with someone. That night he was wearing a black mask.

"Ethan you still here?" Mother asked over and over. I snapped out of my thoughts. I nodded. "Ethan I will find out the truth and if I get my hands on those people I will make them pay by sending them straight to the police." She said furious. I only nodded.

The doctors called out for us. We were relieved that Em is alright, only having a cracked leg and a small bleeding on her head. The doctors wanted her to stay little longer until they see that she's recovering smoothly. Mother was sitting beside her bed talking to her. I only leaned against the wall at the window looking out.

I got a message saying I had to meet up with Kyle and Zak. I looked over at Em and my mother. They were still talking. Em looked alright. I excused myself and walked out. Emily gave me a glance and I knew she wants to know where I am heading off to.

I couldn't tell them about me being part of gang especially after what happened to dad. I was on my way to the meeting spot. I checked for anyone maybe following me but I was alright. The meeting spot was at a old barn just outside of California. There was already two cars parked outside the barn. I climbed out and headed to the barn.

Kyle was standing at the entrance holding Amber in his arms. Zak was beating up a guy who was tided up to a chair.I wonder who the guy is.As I got near Zak, I saw a elder guy standing there in a black suit. Smoking a sigar. When he saw me he gave me a devils look. "Finally he shows up."He said. Zak stopped beating the guy and went to Mary who was holding a first aid bag to clean his bloody fists.

" I am Charles."He said holding out his hand to shake. He had a grip on my hand." Ethan. "I said shaking his hand. He laughed." I know who you are.Sit down and let's have a chat."He said sitting down on a chair. I wasn't feeling like sitting down so I stood in my spot." Alright."He said when he saw I don't sit down.

" Henry's boy aren't you." He said laughing. I didn't found it amusing." I would never have known if it wasn't for the gossip in NY.Just so sorry to hear about your father son."He said sarcastic." I didn't know you until I have heard. Just strange that your in my gang and not in your fathers. Unless your father didn't know."He said looking me straight in the eyes." It is a law not to tell. I also didn't knew my father was in a gang."I said feeling like I am boiling.

" Well, looks like Ethan boy are loyal. That's great. But he is a lair. He didn't say a word about moving to California."He said standing up from his chair and pacing around me."I was trying to protect my family."I said making a ball of my fists." You already put them in a lot of danger son. I have been sending two guys to your house. Looking for a girl named Emily. I believe she's the one who will become the next one to lead us to money.I heard that she was Henry's favorite child. What a shame, you weren't. "He said.

" You leave my family alone. They haven't done anything. "I said angry. He then grabbed me around my neck." They did something!! They got the police on my best mens tails almost locking them up. My business fell every since your father died and your family hiring investigaters!!"He hissed in my face.

"You can be glad that I didn't killed you.You can try to protect your family but I will still continue doing what I am doing. And you will not stop me." He said before letting go of my neck. He then walked of. I was boiling of anger. Zak looked at me in pity.

" Did you gave me up? Where you following me this whole time? I thought you where my fucking friend."I said. Zak didn't say anything." It wasn't us.It was Marco. He said that he believes you are hiding something. He was the one ratting you out."Kyle said walking closer. Amber standing at Mary.

"Bro we won't do such stupid thing. We know what danger we sit your family in. We sweared on our life that day that we don't say anything. We only founded out this morning about Marco ratting you out at the boss."Zak said.

" I am done with this gang. My family is in danger now and I need to protect them. Marco will get his punishment soon. "I said. Zak and Kyle looked at each other and didn't say anything." Zak we should finish this meeting and go. I have to be home early."Mary said walking up to us followed by Amber.

" Alright go wait in the car so long. We will be there soon."Zak said handing them car keys. I looked at the beaten up guy. He looked bad and his blood all over." Who is this guy? "I asked." He is giving away some information for the police. The boss brought him here and we had to punish him. "Kyle said looking at the guy with pity.

" Please... Please don't kill me. I have a daughter and wife. The police forced me to tell other ways they would have killed me. They are the fulfy bastards. Please. "He said. He then started crying." Let him go."I said kneeling down in front of him." If you lie to us about your family we will kill you.If you have a family move to a saver place and stop spilling us. Understood?"I said looking him dead in the eyes. When his hands was loose he reached into his pocket and took out a photo of his daughter laughing with his wife.I stood up and walked out with the guys. I needed to go see someone important...
