Girl Gang

Chapter 1 - Meet the gang

I have always been a leader. I know how to make people do things, make people respect me. I know how to get my way.

Ever since I killed the so called 'strongest ever leader of the Eagles'   I have been head of the gang. I sell drugs, make deals, train new recruits and I kill. To me, it's just life. I always get my way and if someone tries to stop me... they die!

My life was simple and easy. That is, until the Viper gang crossed the line. They showed up on my territory. It all started with one of my shipments getting sabotaged. I was pissed but in all I let it pass... well sort of. I let it past after killing the people involved. Obviously.

That's one thing you should know about me: I never let anyone piss me off and live to tell the tale. I get pissed and hundreds die.

Even though I dealt with that little misunderstanding with swift action, the Vipers did not admit defeat. So I set up a meeting with their leader, hoping they would come to their senses and back the hell off.

**********************

"Leave my territory peaceful and I won't kill you. Promise." I said my green eyes were filled with humour. I kinda find it cute when a little gang like The Vipers try to get all up in your face.

I could see the gang leader of the other side of the table clearly, he had black hair that seemed almost blue in this lighting and sharp features. It's sort of cliche the way I describe him with his five o'clock shadow of stubble but I can't deny it: this guy was cute. Sadly, he can't see me, nobody outside my gang could ever see me. I had my cloak draped loosely around me so that the hood created a shadow over my face.

I never show my face, it helped not to be known when you do my sort of job. And I never show my face because the man opposite me and his two under bosses that had stood next to his chair, were not as, what's the word?... As open minded as my gang. At the time I thought that they were all sexist assholes'.

I am probably the only ever female gang leader. So woman, in their eyes, were probably 'not worthy of leadership'. Well that's what I thought there perspective was at the time.But you never know, who was I to assume that they were like the others.  Still ,I don't regret not showing my face its usually the safer option.

My gang thought that I shouldn't be their leader when I first came to power over the Eagles. I soon sorted the problem out though, after killing their strongest member in front of them. Thats the reason why nobody other than my gang know I am female.

All the memories about when I came to power were running though my head, all whilst the Viper's leader rested his elbows on the table in between us. He rubbed his hands together with his elbow still resting against the table like he was simply just pondering a dream, not as if he was in the middle of a meeting that could be the death of him and his gang.

Either way, eyes never left mine as he whispered in a deep, masculine voice, "Oh why would I do that?"
My heart actually fluttered as the words left his perfect lips for some reason. I responded calmly: I never show my emotions to anyone.

"Because if you don't," I said as I chuckled to myself, talking in a tone that showed it was just a matter-of-fact kind of comment, "You will die."

He sat there, his face calm and still. I could tell he was contemplating what he proposed to do. I on the other hand, was certain I knew his next move. And as predicted, after a few seconds of silence, he sat back in his chair, his face still calm. His gaze lifted  from me, his eyes over the room that I always used for meetings. 

Although the warehouse was mine, I very rarely went there. It was cold and silent here. I like to hear things. Sounds helped me remember that there was life beyond my own.

"Eagle," he addressed me suddenly, using my gang name, "Take off your hood."

I hesitated. What did he say?! I never take off my hood. I wasn't expecting that and more importantly, I never hesitate. My under boss stepped forward, from behind me where he stood throughout the meeting, taking control of the situation in my defence.

"Eagle is not here to discuss looks," Alex, my second in command, growled under his breath.By this time I had recovered from my moment of confusion. "Do you wish to leave or to die?"

"I wish to see your face." Replied the leader of the Viper's, his voice hinting at a little annoyance but still seemingly calm.

"You may not see my face. Leave now or I will announce war between us!" I replied, raising my voice. Calmly, the Viper boss ran his hand though his jet black hair. That was when all hell broke loose...

The Viper gangsters had planned the whole thing. It was a trap!
