"Bring the children in!"

Little squeals and cries echoed throughout the room. "Silence!" I roared.

They squealed but hushed none the less. "How long till the transactions?"

"They money will be wired to the account in two days!"

"How many children do we have?" I queried while staring at the repulsive little things.

"Twenty in all. One million for each child!" He said. I nod and smirked while pulling at a cigar.

"Carry them back to the basement. Set a meeting with Mr Deux."

"Okay boss!" He muttered and walked out of my office.

"Scar!"

"Yes Jinx!" I replied sternly. I still didn't trust her but I'm still working on it.

"The general requests you!"

"The 'general' requests me!" I spat. "Who is the fucking king of this pitiful city? He can't request me. Tell him come to me or if I come to him, I'm the last person he will talk too." I roared.

I built my way to the top of the food chain. That man is two levels below me. I scoffed in annoyance. Jinx nod and stepped out my office. I grabbed the file that I had to go through for maybe the hundredth time. This human trafficking business, brought in tons more income than only the drug trade. I had no idea what they were doing to those kids, but I didn't care. As long as I got my money. The kids ranged around thirteen to fourteen. So I'm guessing their either sex slaves or drug bangers.

"Scar!" The general roared as he slammed my door. I raised an eyebrow in amusement.

"Who the hell do you think you are? If I call you, come!" He yelled.

I rose from my desk and stood to his side. He glared at me and I smirked. I gripped his throat and slammed him against the wall. "You will fucking respect me old man. Next time I'll snap your neck!"

He gripped at his throat and stormed out. I scowled at the door. He needed to learn his place. This is my fucking city. No one and I mean no one, tells Scar Kenneth what to do.

"Aviolo!" I called.

"Yeah boss!"

"I want you to give the general 'a gift' for me. Nice and painful." The smirk on my face told him exactly my thoughts. He smirked and walked out my office.

Since Jinx betrayed me, I boosted Aviolo as my right hand man. He been respectful and trustworthy so far. I really hope he be as trustworthy as I think. You never know what sort of secrets one has. I learnt that the hard way.

Emotions is the enemy!

I had to remind myself, over the past three years, about those words. It made me survive so far. And kill me dead if it tries to kill me again. I lost the most important essence of my life and I will not allow anything to falter again.

"Scar, you have a meeting with the president." Jinx muttered.
I nod my head and walked out of my office. Jinx hands me a folder and I walk into the conference room. The conference room was furnished with dark oak wood. A long oval table was placed in the middle with adjoining chairs around it. The president sat at the head of the table and I scowled.

"Mr Jackson!" I glared.

"Miss Kenneth!"

"You do know that you're sitting at the head of the table!" I reprimanded him while placing my hands flat on the table and leaning closer to him.
