In Control (HIATUS)

Ch 3: Sibling Troubles

Azrael pov:

I didn't come home till 2 am, which made waking up really hard. It's gonna be even harder considering I had to gear up for some stupid Hit Axe and I have to do today.

"Come on Azy, you gotta get up." Amilia shook me, half dressed and fixing her hair. She looked pretty, even if she didn't think so.

"I'm so sore though. Are the kids up?" I rolled over and pulled myself out of bed even if I didn't want to.

"They're up and making cereal for breakfast. I know last night was rough on you. Just cover your bruises." She finished her hair and looked for the top half of her business suit.

"Yeah, yeah." Changing out of my Pj's I grab some jeans and a black long sleeve shirt. Throwing the long sleeve on I quickly slip my legs into the pants and pull them up. I felt eyes on me when doing so.

"You're staring." I chuckled at Amilia. She had no shame at where she was staring. Her eyes looked hungrier by the second, if I wasn't so tired I'd be interested.

"It looks heavy." She blatantly stared at my crotch while I pulled my pants up and adjusted. Buckling my belt I walk over and give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Let me brush my teeth and I'll properly kiss you." She smiled and moved out of the bathroom.

I quickly finished getting ready, with the distraction of kissing Amilia and getting her lipstick on me. Cleaning my face up I go into the closet and find some holsters to strap to my body.

I strap one to my calf for a gun and sling one over my shoulders for two underarm holsters. I had to switch my belt because I needed one that would hold my mags. Grabbing a long coat I covered myself so the kids wouldn't see them.

"Alright birdies, to the car." I shouted as I descended the stairs. The boys came out of the kitchen wrestling and arguing over the front seat while Thena walked past them towards the car.

"Break it up. Your sister is ahead of you." I pull them apart and straighten them out. They whine and run past me to chase their sister.

I follow and lock up the house. They say their goodbye to Amilia as we drive off. I drop the boys off first and take Thena to her school next. Free for now I drive off to meet up with Axe and Damien.

It doesn't take long as we're meeting at a Cafe. Parking my car and getting out I see the two sitting at a table playing chopsticks with each other like they were middle schoolers.

"You two are dorks." I sit down with a smile, watching as my brother loses to the smirking man.

"You fucked me up! Go again." He held his fingers out to play again but I stopped them. We had more important things to handle.

"Any information on the man?" I asked Axe quietly. He pulled out a tablet and handed it to me.

"There's not much. People have seen him around some big names, word is he's trying to build alliances." Axe informed me while I read the documents we had on him. There really isn't much known about him.

"Mr. Midnight." He looked tall, short black hair and haunting gray eyes. He had a five o'clock shadow and dark circles under his eyes.

This and people's he's been around is all the information we have on him. It's unnerving how little I know of him or what he's doing. I know what every wannabe criminal and crime lord is doing. Inside and out of New York city.
