Gabriel stares at his reflection before he pulls his coat on and gets ready for the night, checking his watch lets him know he still has a few more hours before the meeting where he will find out who the new dealer in town was.

"Son, is this attire fit for the night?" his mother's voice makes him turn around to find her looking beautiful as always.

"Mom, you know you can do no wrong when it comes to dressing up, as always you look beautiful" he smiles kissing on her cheeks as he takes her hand wrapping it around his arm.

"So, what is this meeting once again?" Myra asks as both of them make their way towards their car.

"Someone is trying to kick us out of the business; we will be going in as one of the new prospective clients to him...

We also need to find out whoever it is that dares to go against us," Gabriel informs his mother who hums as she checks on her make up.

"Don't worry son, whoever it is will regret the day they even thought of going against us" she grins putting her lipstick away.

"Yes and please don't try to over do it last time your idea nearly got us killed," he warns his mother who can get out of hands at times.

"Oh please, I am a pro at this"

"Yes that's my point, try not to be provocative with men" he sighs before picking up his phone.

"Nicho, we are near there, any progress" he asks his cousin on the other line.

"No not yet, we don't know who the leader is yet, it seems whoever that is, is trying to be as discreet as possible, but one of my men is in, we will get the name and face soon"

"Okay, even if we did not get him now by the end of the day we may. Is Damien in position?" he asks to confirm once again.

"Yes, he is around the corner, just cut the line if anything goes wrong" Nicholas replies before Gabriel stops his car in front of the hotel the meeting was to be held.

"There are a lot of them" Myra replies as she once again wraps her hands around her son's elbow.

"Yes, it seems like we have a lot to think about when we go back home. Who would have thought we were at a risk" Gabriel smiles as he talks with him mother all the while his eyes roaming around to see some familiar faces.

"I knew Nicholas was not a good leader, look at the amount of men that are too happy to make a deal with someone else"

"Or may be they are as curious as to see who the man is that wants to go against us" Gabriel warns his mother with his eyes while she just innocently smile his way.

Showing their invitation card both of them gets checked for anything dangerous with them before they head inside the door behind where they see more people sitting in their respective seats.

"I will go get us something, mingle" Gabriel smiles leaving his mother at their seats as he walks away.

Gabriel looks around the room where he could see some of the familiar and some new faces talking and as curious as him. He stays away from any group as precaution so no one would know his identity.

"Anything yet?" Nicholas's voice comes through the earpiece he was wearing.

"Not yet, but it seems we will have to take a look in to the men we are doing business with"

"That bad, huh?"

"May be not everyone in here is here for the same reasons"

"Whatever that is just keep your eyes and ears alert"
