Kill or be killed

The snake.

I kept pacing back and forth outside the base, my blood boiling.
Never have I wanted to shoot someone so bad.

How the hell did he have the guts to say that...
Is he not afraid?
Now that I know what he looks like...

The whole point of today was to make peace with the Italian Mafia. But how did that go?
The thought of his face made me scrunch my brows and sigh.

He's ruined everything now.
I can't even do what Leo said.

"Ace, how was everything while I was gone?"
I asked entering the base and looking around.
So far it looked okay.
Everything was normal.

However ace had a nervous look on his face that made me glare at him.
His silence suddenly made me feel uneasy.

"what is it?"
I question taking my jacket off, not leaving his eyes.

"Boss, I went through some of our weapons and import information.."
He trailed off still feeling hesitant to tell me.

"Ace..don't waste my time"

He took a deep breathe and continued.

"Something didn't look right so I searched deeper and found out someone here is giving our weapons and drug importation to the Italian Mafia.."
He said fidgeting with his hands.

My face suddenly dropped as those words left his mouth, and my eyes widened as I tried to examine any form of lie.

What!
I pinched the bridge of my nose and looked down to the floor.

Someone here is on his side
But Who?
Who's going to be that fucking sly and brave to go behind my back and fuck me over.

And out of all people with the Italian mafia?!

Why the fuck does life have to be so hard. That means that information is being fed to him as well.

Hunters a fucking asshole if he's willingly taking all of this...

"Get everyone in the foyer"
I said going towards the stairs but Ace suddenly stopped me.

"Boss, just stay calm-"

"Now"
I said coldly.
After everything that happened with Hunter this was really the last thing I needed.

Going straight into one of the rooms I splashed my face with water before resting my hands down on the sink.

No ones coming to mind.
Who would do it..

I need to find out before they end up giving everything.
Also meaning I have to be careful.

Taking small breaths I walked down the stairs and saw everyone gathered around.

Seeing all the faces one stood out in particular..

Carla.
Not only did she have a smirk plastered on her face. But She hasn't been the nicest one around here and she clearly doubts me as a leader.

Carla's the only one who's had the guts to stand up to me so far.
Maybe she had the guts to fucking betray me.

While everyone gathered up, I thought for a minute, why did Hunter make things harder for himself.

He could have just agreed and we would have been stronger together.
Clearly he needs some of my things anyway.

Right now..I just need Leo.
Whenever I had a problem I would go to him and ask for help. But now, there's nothing I can do expect for hoping for the best.

"If you don't know anything by now, there's someone here....who has decided they want to go against me and sell not only my weapons but also our drug importation to the Italian Mafia"
I said clenching my jaw and making sure to look at each person dead In the eye.

Everyone started whispering to each other,

while I kept my eye on Carla, who looked perfectly calm .

"I just want to put this out there. If any of you even try to double cross me,  trust me you will wish you were never born, I will make you suffer so much and make sure your life is a living hell. I know I'm not good at this whole leader thing...."
I say staring at every single one of them in the eye.

"But that doesn't give you a right to think you can betray me. If non of you had the guts to do it with Leo. Don't fucking do it with me"

Silence took over the room and I wanted to get out of it.

"You have individual tasks, get on with it"
I ended my, so called 'speech' and watched them all walk away, still whispering.

Christopher came towards me handing me a water bottle.
Instead of taking it  I slapped it out of his hand, making it hit the floor.

He furrowed his brows and looked at me puzzled.

I sighed bringing my face up to his.
"I'm sorry, it's just too much. I'm not good at controlling my anger"

He smiled before bringing the water bottle to me.

"Boss- it feels weird calling you boss now..."
He said lightly chuckling.

" but it's never going to be easy but you just have to deal with it. Problems will come your way. It's never going to be easy. Take some time and it will be over soon enough".

I thanked him and went to check if the drugs were coming in fine and making sure there was nothing suspicious. I always hated coming near drugs, it was something I never thought of doing.

                                         ~

After a few hours, I was checking my emails in my office when someone knocked really hard. When I was about to rest.

"Come in"
  I say in a annoyed tone.

Kevin entered the room in a panic and ran up to my desk.
"Boss it's important.."
He said huffing out.

"well it better be fucking important that your
disturbing me now"

.He took a deep breath and I raised my brow waiting for him to speak.

"There's someone at the gate saying he's Leo's nephew"

"What!"
I suddenly yelled slamming my hands down on the desk and getting up.
Leo's nephew?

What the fuck..

I furrowed my brows and my eyes searched the room trying to process what the fuck I just heard.

If Leo's fucking nephew is here then he will be the Leader since he's related to him biologically. 

"Let him the fuck in"

I waited downstairs while they searched him before letting him in.
No matter what his age if he is blood related he will take my place.

He came in demanding the guards to let him go.
"Release him"
I said in a annoyed voice. He shaked him self off and looked straight at me moving the wisps of his hair stuck to his forehead.

He didn't break eye contact while he brushed himself off.

He had brown, wavy hair.
Dark eyes that..looked the same as Leo's...

Anyway can have those eyes..

"who the fuck are you ?"

Who does he think he is coming in here and saying he's Leo's nephew.
Where has he been all these years.
Why has Leo never mentioned him. 

"Has no one been listening to me...I'm Leo's nephew!"
He yelled while I just stared at him blankly.

"I've been saying since the past 10 minutes. Why do–"
Before he finished his rant I interrupted him.  

"Take him to the basement and tie him up"

"Yes- wait what! No! you can't do this!"
He suddenly started yelling while I just rolled my eyes shaking my head at him as he got dragged down to the basement.
