Zoey slept for most of the afternoon. Huddled up next to me, occasionally waking up to check that I was still next to her. Lana would bring some water and soup for her to try and get her to eat. She'd nibble here and there but not much as the coughing and sneezing wouldn't let her. "Take your medicine sweetheart." I said as I held the spoon full of red cherry flavored cold medicine.  "No daddy! Its nasty!"  She protested hiding under her pink frilly covers.

"Come on Zoey, it will make you feel better"

"No" she pouted as she uncovered herself crossing her arms. It made me chuckle a bit seeing how she was so much like her mother. "Well then, I guess you don't want to go see Grandma's  horses when you're better" I bargained.

"Horses?" Zoey's face lit up. "Yes Grandma Bianca has 4 horses at her house" I smiled. "Okay deal!" She smiled uncrossing her arms and accepted the medicine. Her face became puckered as she stuck her tongue out from the medicine, "when can we see the horses daddy?"  She asked as soon as she swallowed her medicine.

"As soon as you're better mo leanbh" I smiled as she huddled back into my arms.

My phone on the bedside table began to vibrate, as the screen lit up with  Eli's number  "What's wrong?" I asked.

"We got a McLaren following what appears to be our truck with Amir and a blacked out Lambo riding in front entering the property sound familiar?" He asked concerned.

"How did they get in?" I asked bewildered. The dead give away being the Lamborghini sounded a lot like one Leonardo De Leon's"

"They got in using the gate key" Elijah said, "they're  pulling into the driveway now, whats your order ?"

"Let them in, search them before they can enter, nothing lethal in this house right now."

"You got it boss" Elijah said uneasily. That's all I fucking needed right now the Leon calvary looking for another fight when Zoey is sick in bed. I pulled up the sercuity cameras on my phone while Zoey was nodding back off to sleep in my arms. The custom grey Mclaren 765LT with blacked out windows was the first to open it's door revealing Julian De Leon my wife's 3rd Oldest brother. I didn't get to see a good glimpse of him the other night, but seeing him now he took after my father in law a lot standing tall in a two piece grey suit  and a white shirt underneath.  From what Natalia told me he was the most quiet one of the bunch and had a thing for poison and chemicals. He worked handling the finances of their empire and serving as a liaison for all their business aspects.

My men quickly aimed their guns at him making him raise his hands to his head while they patted him down causing the driver of the blacked out Lamborghini to angrily get out of the car revealing Leonardo the 2nd oldest. He stood tall with his jett black hair parted at the middle and fell to its side, like the other Leons he was tall. He wore a black leather jacket a white t shirt and vans with blue jeans folded at the bottom. He has a knack for sports cars and street racing, always making a rukus for the police that Adrián then has to clean up or pay off. His current position was being Adrián's right hand.

Leonardo was quickly apprehended and searched. Both brothers looked pissed but it was amusing seeing them get searched after their stupid stunt they pulled off with their cousins and Uncle.  Lastly, out of the truck came Amir with Adrián the oldest brother, the one in charge of the Leon empire. He raised his hands behind his head which drew attention to his beaten face courtesy of me when he tried choking me out. The swelling had gone down but the bruises remained. Adrián said something to my guards causing them to standby while he helped Natalia out of the truck, followed by a rare appearance of Angel De Leon. The sheltered one, the one that  wasn't involved in their businesses at all, from what my wife said he was a talented basketball and baseball player, he like the rest of his brothers took after their father in height down to the jett black hair but was more on the tanned side from the frequent flights to California. Natalia was the only one who took after her mother in everything down to skin tone and fiery attitude. As soon as Angel exited the truck my men resumed their search and disarm procedures.
