King Mafia and Mago

Delulu Pills

After a whole day of drama, collecting dead bodies, and gaining a substantial loss of both his lover and his men and assets, the king was finally home. He, along with Charlton, entered the extensive mansion at nearly midnight, when everybody else was asleep, or so they thought. All the way through, both men had a long discussion until their throats hurt, and still, there were things that needed assistance.

Things were going out of the ordinary but at least everything that has happened so far was expected.

King was tired to his bones and so was Charlton, with heavy hearts that they ate some morsels of cold burrito before once again they focused back on their prioritized job. The work wasn't anything physical, like fighting a bull or something, but mostly wait game but boy that drained those heavy men out of their energy.

With eyes focused on occasional movements, Charlton sat across from the king at the king's mahogany desk with his tab in his hands while the other talked tiredly on a cell phone to one of the acquaintances regarding mafia stuff, drinking from his glass from time to time. Some while later, the king bid farewell and slipped the device on the table with a sigh.

"When will this night be over?" he muttered under his breath, rubbing his hands up and down his reddening face. Charlton glanced up at the crime lord and made a little noise for attention.

King only hummed in response.

"you should rest king.....maybe...take a nap for a while..." Charlton proposed, yawing himself behind his hand and King shook his head in dismissal. He was ready to vocalize his refusal as well.......but then....

Suddenly, the door of King's office banged open and in appeared a hard-faced Mr Xavier. The face of the man screamed flaming anger, fists tight by his side, nose red and proud, cheeks puffed and eyes dark and scary as he marched towards King with each step thudding against the floor as if to dig a hole in the ground.

Behind Mr Xavier was Jayce, biting his nails worriedness etched on his features, it looked like the man had tears in his eyes before he entered the room with his husband.

Seeing his father, King sprung to his feet and speedily walked out from behind his desk. Charlton also left his place to stand in attention in respect of the former lord.

"Father..." King greeted.

"What is going on king?....what am I hearing, is it true?" the older asked with gritted teeth, the calm Mr Xavier was renowned for was slipping away as he tried to remain composed and collected. The husband of his peered at King as well, silently asking the same question but with pleading eyes, unlike Mr Xavier's demanding ones.

"yes father, it is true. Mago has been kidnapped" king answered truthfully, sighing at the end when he saw how the older clenched his jaw tightly at the confirmation of the presumably rumour. Jayce gasped at Mr Xavier's back and fisted the older's jacket in his grasp at the news.

He gawked at King with wide eyes but King ignored his reaction as always.

The silence that fell in the room prolonged as both the son and father looked at each other. Mr Xavier stood tall and glaring, forehead creased and eyes glaring daggers while he contemplated the reality behind the delivered update about his beloved son-in-law's kidnap and compared it to the behaviour of his son, who in his opinion, should be ravenous for the blood of the one who snatched his love. While King stood quiet and waited for his father to reach the point and dart the most awaited question.

And that question wasn't far behind....

"Who did this?" Mr Xavier asked. The tone of his voice dropped an octave lower, it produced more of a menacing sound than normal and that took Jayce's attention in no time. King glanced at Jayce for a second before meeting eyes with his father and shook his head.
