Our Challenge

President.

Kade POV

"You know nothing about what happened with Estelle and William?" Jasmine questions Rosalie.

Rosalie shakes her head, "No, I only know they are both trying to obtain some type of world power.

Confusion crosses my face, "World power? What do we have that can help them obtain world power? We're just a mafia and partly work with the government.

Rosalie laughs, "You think you just working with some local government? Bradley has a team that works directly beside the president. Anything you are doing for the government is either benefitting the country or a danger to the country. Willam and Estelle know of Bradley's status."

She looks at all of us and then lets out a sarcastic laugh, "By the looks of all your faces it seems like you didn't even know."

Rosalie looks at me, "You're not just some mafia. Why do you think no one has ever heard of Black Dragon or know so little? Black Dragon is good but not that good."

I run through my mind and I look at Zaiden to see if he caught on to anything.

Rosalie takes a breath, "The team Bradley has that works directly beside the president is Black Dragon."

I shake my head, saying, "No, that doesn't make sense. If that were the case, it would mean every man and woman in Black Dragon, including their families, is compromised."

She rolls her eyes, "Think about it. How can Black Dragon be so hidden, especially during the time Zaiden was on a killing spree? The man that the tech girl kill while you was at some club."

Rosalie looks at Zaiden, "Did you really think no one saw you? There was a witness, they was dealt with before they can say anything to anybody."

Zaiden laughs, "Do you think I care that someone was killed for witnessing something?"

Rosalie laughs, "They didn't kill the witness. They erased their memory. Remember, Black Dragon is with the government."

I stop her, "How do you know all of this? Where are you getting this from?"

She clears her throat and looks at Zaiden, "Before we lost Haru, William had him do some deep research."

"Bradley struck an agreement with the president, ensuring that all members of the Black Dragon mafia remain confidential. The only member known to the president is Niall, who will succeed Bradley when he retires. This has been going on for years with every single president."

I bite the inside of my jaw, "Zaiden, we need her."

Zaiden looks at me, "Why? She told us everything she knows."

I shake my head, "No, she didn't. You know more than you're telling."

Zaiden clicks the gun and shoots beside Beckham's head. Rosalie screams, "What the fuck?! What else do you need to know?!"

Nancy walks in and stands beside Zaiden, "Haru separated the bomb and Rosalie. He also disabled the bomb and told me the location of it."

Rosalie takes in a sharp breath and Zaiden looks at me, "I'm pretty sure anything you will need we can find it ourselves."

I shake my head, "We  don't have time for that. We just found out that we are working with the president, we have to find your father and Lyric's mother, and we still have to talk to Scarlett and Joseph. We have too much shit going on and right now our best and safest choice is keeping her alive."

Zaiden shakes his head, "No."

"Zaiden! Put the fucking gun down!"

"No." He aims the gun at Rosalie head.
