After he mentioned his name he walked away leaving me with the 7 guys, who seemed speechless. I was still in shock, he was the man everyone feared, the reason people don't stay up late or walk around the street at night. I felt my whole body trembling; the realisation struck me hard, I witnessed a murder and he kidnapped me, I had just talked to him, he's a killer, a criminal and my friends whom I haven't seen in years are with him. My minds were spinning with millions of thoughts. I was on the verge of fainting when I remembered the guys in the room and looked at each of them, they were still staring at the door Alessio had walked out of. I gathered everything I had in me to be able to speak again. Then I cleared my throat and their eyes snapped back to me.
"So......this guy is your boss?" I asked looking at the floor, biting my lips.
"Yeah, basically" Scott muttered
My eyes snapped to him "Then anyone care to explain me how you guys got here in the first place? Why you faked your deaths? Or better yet, how you're in the mafia and working for Alessio Giovanni?" I trembled a bit.
They all looked down. Blake sighed and turned up to look at me
"Ally a lot had happened since we last saw each other. A year and a half ago, we were at the parking lot in high school and some fuckers from the other school were trying to pick a fight with Ryker and Celeb both of them weren't in their right mind at that time, Ryker's parents were going through a divorce and Celeb's were going through some money trouble. They were beating the shit out of those guys, but soon more of their friends join in and it was the same time the five of us arrived." Blake pointed at himself, James, Eric, Scott and Ash.
"It was like a fucking battle field until some teachers broke us up. We knew we were in deep trouble. It turned out those assholes' parents were fucking lawyers and police. We were lucky we only got expelled, it could've been much worse, and later we were either selling drugs or addicted to them but mostly selling. That's when we really ran in to some deep shit. The drugs were supplied by some guys we didn't know and that day they were demanding for some money that we didn't have. They took us to their boss, Alessio who was visiting Australia for some business deal. He gave us a choice, we were either going die or take the Omerta and work for him. Of course we took the Omerta and went to work for him, faked our own death and disappeared one by one so no one suspect anything and flown all the way here to America so no one recognizes us and we've been working here ever since, travelling for some occasions but mostly here."
Once Blake finished talking everyone stared back at me, these guys have been through a lot in a year and a half, they didn't have a choice into joining the mafia and they left their parents and their whole life behind just because they were in a bad place at the time.
"I'm so sorry" I muttered not knowing what else to do.
Blake gave me a comforting smile "Don't worry about it, we got all got used to how things works around here, being here made us stronger and not some teenage boys with bad attitude, our parents would be much better off without us, plus as long as we do our job we're respected here, we earn shit tons of money and we're all fine."
Now I really didn't know what to say, they didn't seem like they were sad, in fact they looked like everything was completely normal like this is what they wanted. But I couldn't get pass the fact that by joining the mafia, especially the most powerful one means that they've killed people before. I just can't imagine my childhood friends being a bunch of ruthless murderers.
"But the mafia is dangerous and illegal and not to mention you guys may have probably killed a person before. Guns, drugs, violence it's not right. You could even get killed" I frowned.
"Don't worry that pretty little head of your about it, there's no point in arguing now. The important thing we need to worry about is what we're going to do about tomorrow?" Eric asked. I chose to ignore the fact that he called me 'little' even though he was only a year than me, him, Scott and Celeb, While the rest are 20 years old.
"what's happening tomorrow?" I asked.
"Well tomorrow all of us are leaving for Italy to deal with some business and-" just before Eric could finish Celeb cuts in, he has always been the blunt one.
"and you're going to have to stay with the boss" he frowned.
I could've swore my heart skipped a beat, there was no way in hell I'm staying with him all alone.
