Chases PoV
I really wanted to get that house for Katherine, you should of seen her face when we were in that neighbourhood. Seven months into the pregnancy and we don't have anything set up for the baby, no room, no crib, no clothes , no nothing! The house was pretty pricey and I had only just started a new job, there was no way I could afford that house any time soon. I hate to do it but I needed to get that house now before someone else buys it for their family, so I made a phone call to Oscar and told him one last time, I'd do his dirty work. Katherine would completely disapprove because it's illegal and I want out of this gang forever, but how could I say no?

I drove up to the house owners home so we couldn't settle a deal, Katherine didn't know because it was a surprise. She was at James house with Natasha hanging out so I thought I'll get it done now.
I arrived at the house and god was This guy loaded, his house was massive with a garage. I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer.
When the door opened a little boy was stood there, he had football uniform on and could only be about 7.
"Hey little guy, is your dad home?" I smiled
"Dad!" The boy shouted.
His dad came downstairs and waved at me.
"Charles what have I told you about answering the door?" He asked his son.
"I'm sorry"
"Go on go play." The dad smiled.
It made me think about when I'll be a dad, only two more months.
"Hi we spoke on the phone?" I shook the mans hand.
"Ah Chase?"
I nodded.
"Great I'm mark, come in."
I walked into his house and it was amazing, the furniture was stylish and the house was huge.
"Your home is lovely."
"Thank you."
We sat down in his living room where he had a book and pen.
"Well. I'll need £2000 in cash for your 4 month deposit."
"Yes, well I'm getting the money today from work, can I send it to you through the mail?" I asked.
"That would be fine." He smiled.
"Well it's sorted. I'll take the house off the market for you."
"Thank you so much!"
Mark walked me to the front door as I left. His son was stood here next to him and waved at me as I drove off, I was excited to have a daughter, god would I spoil her.

I pulled up at oscars house to get the money, I felt guilty that I was lying to Katherine and using dirty money to buy our first family home. When I pulled up at oscars it was actually quiet compared to most times. Antonio was outside smoking for one which I noticed, so obviously I went over and had a word.
"Toni.."
"Shit" he put the cigarette behind his back.
"Drag?" I gestured for him to give me the cig.
I took a puff of the cig and exhaled as Antonio just stood there next to me.
"Don't let your mum see you smoking." I warned him.
"I won't."
"Good."
I handed him it back and went into the house.

"Oscar!" I shouted.
"My favourite nephew!" He came around the corner and wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm only here for the £2000"
"Yeah sure you are! I knew that basic life would never been enough for you" he laughed.
I rolled my eyes and followed him into the car.
"Right homie. I need you to clean up someone's mess" Oscar began to drive downtown.
"What?"
"You know what I mean, 'clean' that shit up."
"Kill?" I gasped.
"Cmon, I've let you slack off long enough." Oscar chuckled.
"This is my last job! I could go down for this!" I screamed.
"Shut up! Your doing it."
The car ride was silent until Oscar pulled up outside of a Santos house.
"Oscar that's a Santo!"
"Your going to kill the man inside." He handed me a loaded gun.
"Your going to start a war!" I shouted.
"Get out."

I stepped out of the car with the gun at hand. I couldn't kill this man, could I? If Katherine ever found out she would never forgive me, let alone let me see my child? I'd be dangerous and a wanted criminal, but what option did I have? Oscar was watching me and I know If I let him down again he would hurt Katherine.
I walked up to the house, I slyly peered into the window and there he was, my target... sat on the couch with his wife, son and daughter. I couldn't do it, burst in there shoot him in front of all those kids.
"Oscar I can't do it, he has kids."
"Yeah well he didn't think about that when he threatened to kill your cousins"
I thought, I couldn't do this but he had already proven he would. What should I do?

The door burst open in one kick, his kids and his wife instantly cradling one another in the Corner of the room where as the dad was already stood up ready to fight.
"GET DOWN!"
"Don't do this! I have kids!" The man pleaded.
"GET DOWN!"
"Please!" He sobbed.
"get down.."
"I beg, not in-front of them!"
A gesture for the woman and her children to leave, go upstairs.
"THIS IS A MESSAGE, DONT FUCK WITH THE HUDSONS!"
The man continued to sob.
And there it was.

Bang.

Oscar whipped the blood splatter from his cheek. There it was, his lifeless body on the floor. Blood on the walls and on the carpet. You could hear his wife and kids howling from upstairs.
And I think then and there, as we climbed back into his car and drove away, every feeling I had in my body died.

I was numb.
