Kill or be killed

We can reach there, Utopia

(Hunters POV:)

When Veronica fell asleep, I went downstairs to discuss a plan.
Everyone gathered in the lobby waiting for me to speak.

"As you know, this Dante guy is really messing things up. If Veronica can't stop this man. We are going to need a big plan.
Veronica doesn't deserve this, we need a plan that isn't going to involve her. She's already going through a lot. She finds out her real mum is a double crossing bitch, she's also pregnant with Veronica's step brother or sister.
And then...she finds out Dante is coming for her and her onl-"

Before I finished Veronica came pushing me out of the way.

Well fuck.

"Dante is not only coming for me. He's coming for everyone who knows me. Who cares for me. And who will do anything to protect me".
She said mainly looking at me and Sanchez.

"So. There will be no plan. I don't want anyone dying or getting hurt because of me. It's happened to many times and I won't let it happen to everyone here. Call me selfish but this will not happen if it means loosing everyone I care about".

She was about to leave when Christopher stopped her.

"Boss. I respect you so damn much. So if you think for a second that I'm going to leave you alone, especially at this time. You must have really gone mad".

Someone give this man a medal.
Still fucking hate him, but he did the right thing.

She took a deep breath, contemplating what to do.

".....fine. But remember. If it's a choice between me and you or anyone else.
You know what my answer is going to be".

She said walking out.
They all turned to me.
"What?"
I question. Do they need something.

"Go after her for fucks sake".
Christopher said shaking his head.
Right.

"All of you get back to work".

I say going to Veronica who was in the garden.
She was bent over admiring the flowers.

"You know we will get through this".
I say going up to her and resting my hand on her back.

"There's just one thing I don't get".
She stood up straight and looked at me in confusion.

"Dante and my father were really close friends. More like brothers. He would have told me if he was coming......."

She knotted her brows.
I'm really not following. What's she getting on to.

She widened her eyes, parting her lips.

"He knows something".
She said running back inside.

Her mind works in a way I will never understand.

I followed her down to the basement.
I slowly went down the stairs while she basically sprinted.

"Veronica calm down he ain't go-".

"WHAT THE FUCK".
Veronica shouted.
I knotted my brows walking down to her. She stood there shocked.

"What's wrong".

I look at her then to what she's looking at.
Fuck.
That ain't good.

He wasn't missing. In fact he was there laying. With a bullet in between his eyes.

"NO. THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN.......WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME".
She screamed punching my chest.

I held her from the waist trying to calm her down....did she?
No.

I caught her fists and spun her around, with my arm around her neck.

"Babe. Calm the fuck down".
I say in a low tone bringing my mouth closer to her ear.

Her heavy breathing went lower and she stopped resisting.

"Now. I'm going to let go and your going to act normal. Not like a fucking psycho. Ok?"

She nodded holding my arm.
I slowly let go, she turned around looking me in the eye. With a devilish grin.
Oh no.
She lifted her knee and.....you know what she did.

I fell on my knees holding my crotch. Why always there.
I groaned looking up at her shaking my head.

"You are so dead".
I say with my teeth gritted.

"Next time...."
She crouched down, so we were face to face.
"Don't call me a psycho".

She kissed my cheek and got up, leaving.

Bitch.

——————————————————

We spent half of the day planning what to do.
Veronica was unsure but eventually agreed.

After so fucking long we brought the Veronica we know back.

"So who the fuck broke in. Shot my Father. The one time I needed him to be alive. Either it's one of you or one of Dante's men came here but that's very unlikely, because our guards are on watch 24/7. Right?"

She said looking pissed.
"Umm. Well I didn't really say anything because I thought it was fine but about 5 days ago I saw one of the guards sleeping and the other wasn't there".

Ace said.
I looked at Veronica who was smiling with her fists balled up.

"Find out who those fuckers were and get rid of them. And you know what I mean by get rid.
Christopher you go and get what we need. Take Antonio with you. Hunter you and Sanchez go together and me and Britney will go. Ok? Rest of you......you know exactly what to do.

Oh and one of you take my fathers body and dump it somewhere. That fucker doesn't deserve a proper funeral".

After that we all had one thing to do.
Do whatever it fucking takes to stop Dante.
