Kill or be killed

The truth

When we arrived home, I got Ace to lock Sanchez in the basement. I need to question him and figure out why the fuck he knows Hunter.

He embarrassed me in front of a lot of people and not to mention how he knows who Hunter is and what he looks like. I won't let him off that easy.

However, First I need to make sure how close we are to Finding out about this..traitor..

How comes as soon as I step up as the Leader everything is going down.
With Leo why did non of this happen?
Why the fuck am I always seen as a weak person?!
Because I'm a female?!

So much is happening and I can't deal with it all at once.

I entered the security room, where Dimitri
Was sitting and spinning a knife in his hand.

His hair was parted in the middle and some strands blocking his eyes.

"Finally washed your hair huh?"
I said sitting down next to him as he just smirked.

"What do you want?"
He asked putting his knife back.

"You know, you can't talk down to me"
I said since he always talks like I'm a child to him.

"Sweetheart I practically raised you"
He said turning to meet my eyes.

"Leo did"
I corrected him.

"Whatever you say.."
He mumbled.

"Anyway..did you find anything?"

"No. I looked back through all the cameras and haven't seen anything out of the ordinary"
He said sighing and i could tell he was tired.

"When was the last time you slept?"

"Two days ago.."
He said rubbing his face.

"Thank you Dimitri.."
I said smiling and his eyes widened.

"Now why is that the first time I've seen you smile in like 3 years?"
He asked and I just rolled my eyes.

"Right now your the only one I trust the most"
I said before getting up and leaving.
Dimitri kept his eyes on me through the screen in front of him and watched me leave.

Narrowing his eyes back to the computer before wiping out all the past recordings.

                                    ~

I went down to the basement where Ace was standing outside the door.

"Has he said anything?"
I asked but Ace shaked his head.

I nodded for him to leave, he handed me the keys and left.

I opened the door and saw Sanchez sitting on the floor.
His hands had chains around them that were bolted into the wall.

He slowly raised his head to meet my eyes before looking back down.
He didn't look scared nor panicked.

I shut the door behind me and walked closer to him.
I kept my eyes on him as I grabbed his wrist and opened the chains.

His arms fell by his side and he softly massaged his wrists.

I could see that he struggled to move one of his hands.
"What's wrong?"
I asked crouching down.

He looked at his finger and I could tell it popped out of its socket.

Not waiting another second I picked his hand up and harshly twisted it back into place.
Sanchez let out a deep groan.

"Now.."

He looked up into my eyes and I tried to examine his.
He was calmer than usual.

"How do you know Hunter?"
That was the first question I needed the answer to.
After that I would be able to tell whether I kill him or keep him.

"Me and Hunter worked together In the Italian Mafia"
He said with a low tone.

My face twitched hearing those words leave his mouth.
I did a background check on him but this never came up.
Either he got rid of it or Hunter did.

"This was before he was the Leader, And he was a nice person, cared about everyone. But when you killed his Leader...He changed, scared everyone. So I left and....that's basically it. I just left"

All of this doesn't add up

"So he just let you go? Like that?"
I said shrugging and he nodded.
He's lying. There's more but he's not telling me.

"Sanchez if you dont fucking tell me right now I will cut your neck open"

Sanchez sighed knowing he doesn't have a choice.

"I left because he killed my mother. Issabella. The day Leo had gotten hurt and died was because he went to the Italian mafia to kill him.  Because he killed his sister"

My mind took a few seconds to process that before I pinched the bridge of my nose.

So Leo never went over there to make peace.
He went to go kill Hunter but instead.....ended up getting killed.

If Leo couldn't defeat him...neither can I.

Why did he never tell any of us this.
We could have helped him and maybe he would be alive today.

But now there's another thing I'm confused about.

"There's one thing I don't get, why are you here?"
Sitting down in front of him I made direct eye contact.

"Don't you want to take over? Become the leader? Why haven't you don't anything yet?"
Frustration was coming out of my voice as I just wanted the simple truth.

"At first I came here to be the leader. Since Leo is my blood it makes sense for me to be in charge. But everyone here hates me. I wouldn't last a second"
He admitted.
And he's not wrong.

"But you wouldn't think that barging in here would make everyone accept you.."

"I know you don't believe me. But I am Leo's nephew. How would he feel seeing that you treat his only blood relation like this.."
Sanchez said and you rolled your eyes.

"Get up"
I ordered him and opened the door.

I led him upstairs and gave him specific rules. "Ok listen to me. I have the American Mafia coming tomorrow. I have to finish some work off so you tell everyone, no one can come when I'm in the meeting. And tell them to take you to the shooting range"

  "shooting range?"
He questioned in a confused tone.
"well if your gonna be here. You might as well learn how to shoot"
He nodded "Now get out, your presence annoys me.."

"Oh and Sanchez"
I said turning to face him

"If I find out that your lying to me..I won't give you a chance to explain yourself"
