The Secret Between Us//Gallavich

22| On our side

MICKEY
I had been out for most of the day, searching all over Chicago for 3 people. Mandy, Fiona, Lip and Ian had been at the Gallagher house, doing research about moving. Of course, Debbie, Carl, Liam and a clueless Frank kept causing arguments, which of course, slowed them down.

There was one last thing to try before moving. There was only one person that Terry had ever trusted with his secrets. Me. Before I turned against him, he had told me 3 important secrets about 3 of his most trusted men.

Lying about my whereabouts, I hung up my call with Ian, staring at the Milkovich front door. I knew they'd be here. They'd be protecting Terry's house no matter what.

Barging in, I watched as Romero, Julius and Quinn stood up, their guns pointed at me.

"This is my house, bitch!" I held up the largest gun that I owned, glaring at the three men.

"You made a real big mistake comin' here." Romero threatened.

"You made a real big mistake by continuing to follow Terry's orders." I faced Romero, a man in similar shape to Ian. He was taller and had a bigger build. Julius sported a moustache as well as few tattoos on his arms and fingers, his black hair in a long ponytail. Quinn was the shortest out of the men, but he did have a lot of muscle to make up for his short stature.

"You all did." I continued.

"The fuck you talking about faggot?" Julius hissed.

"Terry isn't the man you bitches think. He's been lyin' to you for years." I put my gun away.

"Huh?" Quinn asked, confused.

"You all have been doing exactly what Terry asks of you, but you never thought to question him, or to find any dirt on him? I mean seriously, I have a shit tonne of dirt on every single person I know, just in case something goes wrong. Don't tell me you fuckwits haven't got at least some dirt on Terry?" I asked, each man shrugging their shoulders.

"Jesus Christ, guys. You are horrible criminals." I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, if you know somethin', tell us." Romero groaned.

"Fine. Romero, did you ever find out who murdered your wife and two kids?" I asked, Romero's face dropping.

"Tread carefully, Milkovich." He glared at me.

"I guess you didn't, considering Terry killed them. He was so pissed at you for ratting his dumbass to the cops that when he got out of prison, he killed them to spite you." I revealed, Romero's face going red.

"That son of a bitch!" He hissed.

"Julius, how's Mark doing?" I asked as Julius shook his head.

"Fuck off, Mick." Julius rolled his eyes.

"Did you know that Terry made a deal with the cops? In exchange for only a year in jail, he ratted Mark out to the Feds. He told them everything, from the Meth lab to the black market deals." I smirked, Julius punching the nearest wall.

"That fucker!" Julius yelled.

"And Quinn. How Terry fucked you over is simple. He falsely accused you of being a drug addict. He purposefully lied to your entire family in order for them to turn against you. You know why? He knew that you cared deeply for your family and he wanted all your attention on him." I informed Quinn, who sat down, clearly shocked.

"I want him dead." Quinn hissed.

"So do I. I'm proposing a truce. Romero, you can get justice for your wife and kids. Julius, you can get justice for your brother's incarceration. Quinn, you can finally try and reconnect with your family. All you three need to do is join my side, and in turn, join the side of my boyfriend and his family." I smiled.

"No way. We ain't working with the Gallaghers." Quinn shook his head.

"Fine. You three can live with the fact that you had the chance to get revenge on the motherfucker who ruined your lives." I gave up.

"See ya." I started to walk out of the house, but then I heard one of them sighing.

"Mick, wait." Romero sighed, causing me to turn around. With a smile on my face, I happily turned around, watching as each man stood up.

Within minutes, I was shaking their hands, finalising the truce.

After a few hours discussing details, Romero, Julius, Quinn and I arrived at the Gallagher house.

"I might have a plan." I smiled, revealing the three men.

"Mick, who the fuck are they?" Ian got really defensive. He was about to grab the bat, but I stopped him, smiling.

"They're men who hate Terry as much as we do." I smiled, placing a calming kiss on Ian's cheek.

"Really?" Lip scoffed.

"Yep. Terry killed Romero's wife and kids." I pointed to Romero, who waved, seeming hesitant.

"Terry got Julius' brother Mark incarcerated in exchange for only a year in jail." I pointed to Julius, who waved but stayed silent.

"Terry turned Quinn's entire family against him over false accusations." I pointed to Quinn, who rolled his eyes, seeming annoyed with this situation.

"Any of you try anything, and I won't hesitate to kill you." Fiona stared at each man, her voice full of distrust and seriousness.

"Hey, calm down. They're on our side, Fiona." I sighed, putting the bat back in its place.
