'Desire becomes surrender, surrender becomes power.'

"You're fucking drunk."

" 'M not drunk."

I rolled my eyes and watched as he stumbled on the sidewalk, a giggle leaving his lips when he uprighted himself. "Mario, shut up and get in the car."

He playfully glared at me and shook his pointer finger like a child, "You don't tell me what to do, 'm older so that's my job. Silly Lina," once he began to pat my head I wrapped my arm around his shoulders and guided him towards the passenger side of his car, gently shoving him inside to which he responded with a "woah."

"Do I need to buckle you in too? Or do you have it?" He smiled cheekily at me before wrapping the seatbelt around himself.

I shut his door and made my way to the drivers side, shaking my head, and shutting my own door and starting the car up and pulling onto the road with ease. I definitely regret bringing my brother Mario out with me tonight for my 22nd birthday, however, he ended up being my only company as the few friends I had invited bailed last minute.

I went easy on the gas, with there being only a couple of cars on the road. We were halfway home when Mario suddenly turned off the radio. I turned my gaze from off the road and glanced at him staring at me intently. I stopped at the upcoming stoplight before giving him my attention. "What?" one of my eyebrows  was raised as I stared at him expectantly.

His eyebrows were furrowed in concentration, "you know I love you right?"

I rolled my eyes, a small smile on my lips, "Yes I know you weirdo. What's wrong?" the abrupt confession, while endearing, wasn't a surprise coming from a drunken Mario.

"Nothing, just making sure. Everything I do is for you, you understand that right?"

It was only then, did I start to take him seriously. I looked in the rear view mirror to make sure no one was behind us and ignored the glaring green light ahead.

"Mario, what's going on? Is something wrong? Maybe you've drunk too much, lay back we'll be home in a second," I faced towards the front of the seat, concern still etched on my face. I was seconds away from pressing on the gas when Mario's hand gripped onto my knee, stopping me. I turned to him slowly, a soft glare making its way onto my face from how tight he was gripping. 

His hazel eyes were pleading, something I'd never seen in all the years I've grown up with him, "Do you understand?"

I nodded, my calculating gaze remaining on him until he finally relaxed, letting go of my leg and leaning back into the seat. A small smile appearing onto his face as he stared at me for a bit before facing his window. 

What the hell was in his drink?

I checked the stoplight again, ensuring it was still green, before gradually pressing onto the gas.

I, however, was unaware of a truck coming towards us at full speed. My brothers curses being the last coherent thing I heard before the horrific sounds of metal scraping metal filled my ears. The feel of Mario's arm being thrown around me protectively, clouded my senses before I felt the impact of the car flipping over. Glass immediately cutting into my skin as my mouth was opened in a silent scream. My head knocking against the roof of the car, almost rendering me unconscious.

My gaze wavered as the car stopped its turning, beside me I could see Mario choking, his breaths coming in heavy, forceful pants. The pain I felt in my lungs overpowering my urge to call out to him. From the shattered window of the overturned car I could see multiple pairs of black shoes. My mouth opened instantly, wanting to call for help, when I felt something warm dribble from out my mouth. The feeling of dread was he over me, already knowing what it was. I was going to die. My vision was blurry, and I was only able to catch small glimpse of what was going on around me. 

The passenger side door was being forcibly opened. Mario being pulled out. Guns being fired. And a masked figure looking in. I knew what was happening, the question was why.

I could hear people speaking a few feet from the car, their voices unrecognizable to me. The glare of headlights nearly blinding me as I slowly drifted off into unconsciousness.

"Boss..., he wasn't alone."
