Reaper's End

[]Leo's POV[]

Everything is dark, so I pull out a flashlight and turn it on. It starts flickering and shuts off. Dammit. It's dead. I throw it as far as I can out of anger. Out of nowhere I heard screams, so I ran towards the direction, which led me to a house. The screams are coming from this house. My house, the screams are my sister's. The door appears to be locked, so I back up and run into it, breaking it down. I screamed her name, running through the halls. My feet stopped moving when I saw blood pour out in front of my door. I gulped and opened the door slowly. In the crack I see my sister sobbing. The door opened a little more and I saw my parents with blood on their hands, emotionless, looking at my bed. The door opens all the way and I slowly walk towards the bed to see my dead body. There was a knife in my back and there was blood pouring out and trailing out the door. I let out a blood-curdling scream and looked at my family. I walked up to my parents with tears streaming down my face.

"Why did you kill me?" They both turned their heads at the same time.

They both said, "We don't accept gays in this household,"

With that being said, my dad raised his knife and attempted to stab me.

I woke up with a jolt in my car and looked at my mirror. My face is wet from crying, so I wipe my face with my sleeve, then head into my abandoned warehouse. Being gay isn't accepted in my family or this gang. I was originally in a different one that accepted me, but I did so well that I got offered to be in the biggest gang of all. I remembered what my old boss said to me.

"Listen, Leo, I think you should take up the offer, you'll get more experience there. The only downside is they're just a bit homophobic. It's your choice, but always stay true to yourself."

I take a deep breath. I needed that money so I took up the offer. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Mario, one of my capos, walk towards me.

I nod at him, "What's up?"

"My soldiers are out taking over Chesterfield,"

"Sounds good, keep up the good work, Catanzano."

All of a sudden my phone pings. I pulled it out and looked at Mario and told him I'll catch up with him later. While walking to the table, I look at my phone.

Selena: Come to the computer room

I put the phone back in my pocket, straightened my jacket out, then headed to my new destination. Selena was nowhere to be found, so I called out her name while running my fingers through my hair. All of a sudden the door shuts behind me and I pull out my gun to protect myself.

"Well slow down there, lover boy, it's just me." she coos

I smirk, "What's going on here, Allesio?"

She slowly comes towards me and grabs my jacket and stands on her toes.

"I'm going to give you the time of your life." she whispers seductively in my ear

I chuckle, "What are you waiting for then?"

She pulls my jacket off, then my phone pings, ruining the moment. For her, at least. I take it out to check it.

Dylan: I'll be there in 10 minutes <3

"Ah, shit," I groan, "Trouble."

Selena rolls her eyes and crosses her arms.

"Another time, darlin',' I say as I grab her cheeks

I put on my jacket and ran out the door.

Damn. Dylan saved me. Thank you, Dylan.

I check to make sure no one sees me walking out. Looks like I'm clear so I dip and head to the restaurant Dylan and I planned to meet at. I walk in and search for him. He waves at me when he sees me. I smile at him.

"Boy, you are a sight for sore eyes," I chuckle

He laughs, "I missed you Leo."

He pecks my cheek and we walk to our table. A waitress comes up to take our order. I order a glass of water with a fruit salad, meanwhile he orders a glass of sweet tea with grilled cheese.

"Well aren't you staying healthy," he jokes

I laugh with him, "Maybe a little."

He pushes up his glasses and sits on his hands while waiting for his food. I admire him and notice he has a new earring. The drinks are here.

"New earring?" I ask while taking a sip of water.

"Oh, this?" he messes with his dangling cross earring. I nod, watching him play with it.

"Yeah, I saw it while shopping and I went for it. Looks nice, don'tcha think?" he smiles

I smile back, "Looks lovely, babe."

We engage in conversation while enjoying our lunch. When we finish, we walk outside while talking. My phone pings, so I ask Dylan if I could check it. I got a text from the group chat.

Grim Reaper: Come to Chicago ASAP

Dante: On my way

I put my phone in my pocket and looked at Dylan with sad eyes.

"That was.. my dad. I have to go to Chicago. I'll let you know when I'll be back. Okay?"

He nods sadly and gives me a big hug. I kiss his forehead before letting go.

"I had an amazing time. I can't wait to see you again. I love you."

"I love you too," he says before walking to his car.

I watch him drive away before walking to my base. I feel so bad for lying to him. Grim Reaper isn't my dad. He's the big boss of the gang, but we are like a family in a way. A violent one. I walk to my room to start packing. I heard a soft knock on my door.

"What's going on?" I heard a gruff voice say

"I gotta head to Chicago, Riccardo," I say, turning around while holding my duffel bag. "Reaper needs me. Do me a favor and tell the other capos that I will be gone for awhile."

He nods and walks away. I look back to make sure I have everything, then head to my car. I put my sunglasses on and head to the big base. I wonder what Reaper wants.
