Chapter 20

"So Amber, tell how have you been taking care of my ugly brother?" Rose asked me as I passed the rice to her.

"Well I must inform you that I am the most handsome person okay troll." He said to his sister causing her to roll her eyes. "You are such a pest. I would have pushed you off the mountain if I ever had the chance."

"Would you two just eat the food and stop bickering like your still 5 year old kids." Keith said irritated that their ruining the food I cooked. I'm glad I cooked extra.

They looked at him like kids who are angry at their parents not getting the ice cream they wanted.

It was a bit quiet since everyone was eating and stuffing their mouths, except for Rose. She was more or less taking her time in eating.

"Berra this is the best food I've had in ages" Keith blurted out with his mouth still a bit full. "It's Amber, Keith. Amber". Hunter corrected him while Rose looked at Keith unimpressed. "Listen you call her Amber, I call her Berra since they both look alike."

"Don't compare my woman to her Keith. And didn't you say you moved on?"

"Well its not my fault they look like twins" Keith ignored Hunter question and tried to counterattack Hunter's statement but failed miserably. "So who is this 'Ava' character?" The couriousty in my voice very apparent. "You might not want to know" Hunter stated looking at Keith to check for his expression. "No no, no no it's fine, I have moved on, so I'll tell her." He took in a deep breath before he started.

"Ava was my wife. She was the only one that caught my eye and mind you I was a huge player and my reputation was of that of a cold player, merciless and she changed me. And mister over here wanted her dead.-"

"What? She was making you soft" Hunter said in defense.

"Sure" Keith replied with an eye roll.

"I was at peace, until the war we had with the British mafia ended and we won but they didn't take it well so they invaded our house thinking that it belonged to Hunter, who left me in charge while he had a meeting with another mafia and they shot her, 9 times." He looked at me when he said the last part.

"I am so sorry, I shouldn't have brought up the incident - "

"No don't apologize. It's good to remember a person you love or loved. There's no crime in that and I'm happy that you did. Reminds me of how amazing she was and I want to kill everyone in that specific mafia. Mostly their leader."

"I'm glad that the murder in you was fueled up even more. "Hunter said with a smirk. "Yeah but it won't last long." Keith announced to Hunter who let out a small sigh.

After dinner I was helped by Rose in doing the dishes while the guys went to Hunter's office to discuss some mafia matters.

"So Amber, what do you plan on doing to my brother once you fall out of love with him? " Rose asked a question that I very much was not expecting. "Well the love I have for him is still new and I don't think that I'll be ending things with him."

"You better stick to your words Amber. I've seen the affect you had on my brother when you left. I do admit that he is a nutcase and a total dickhead to me but I don't like seeing him all depressed because of a woman. You better treat him right, otherwise I'll introduce you to hell, you understand? " I looked at her with my eyes widened but a smirk later settled on my face.

"Yes ma'am."

Hunter's pov

"It's about the recent issue regarding the new recruits." Keith sat down the chair in front of my desk facing me. "What about them?"

"We found them in one of our wearhouses, east of the main base. Apparently they wanted to fill their drug stash, turns out they were working for the Brits."

"Do they ever let things go" I closed my eyes rubbed the bridge between them and sighed knowing that they will never stop until they win what they already lost. "Okay so their in the slammers right? "

"Yep. I don't know how they even managed to get into that mafia because they are seriously weak. It's as if the Brits planned to distract us with them while they plan something else. Like seriously they use the oldest most predictable trick in the book. " Keith rolled his eyes that the British mafia wouldn't be more original with their plans.

"Fine, I'll be there tomorrow. I want you to call Jackson and have him there by the slammers, morning, sharp. Understood."

"Sure thing." He said nodding his head, getting up and walking out of my office.

As he did so I took the documents on my desk and got to work with them, making sure that I have my whisky to keep me cool.

The next day

The car ride to base was absolutely boring, but then again nothing ever goes on at base, nothing exciting, nothing that ever catches my attention but just maintaining the mafia.

We arrived at base and when entering I had four gauds at the entrance and they semi bowed in my presents, and I gave them a slight nod in acknowledgement. I entered the building and walked down what seemed like an endless path of stairs, did all the security measurements needed for my entrance underground.

As the last of six doors opened I saw Jackson and Keith waiting for my arrival." Good, Jackson's here and early too." I put more emphasis on 'early' since he never really is early on most occasions unless we have some interesting missions to do or just one of his torcher methods.

"Yes. You I wouldn't miss anything that had to do with pain. Plus I do like inflicting physical pain on others, why do you think I joined the mafia? " He responded with a sedistic smile on his face.

"I always knew you were a phycopathic idiot." Keith looked down at him since he was a head taller than Jackson.

"Hey! I am no idiot you damn pole." Jackson said pointing up at Keith. "Yes you are... short stuff. " Keith declared the last part with a smirk on his face. "Why you- " he was cut off by my hand smacking the back of their heads.

"Enough with you two. How do I even deal with you two together? " I said rolling my eyes at the behavior of these dicks next to me.

If this keeps up, I'll never finish what I came here to do.
