I woke up in a hospital bed. I take in my surroundings, I'm not in the hospital but at our main warehouse's recovery room. We always had a doctor on call and everything we'd ever need for emergencies. I groan as I feel the pain in my left arm. I lift my arm and see I'm connected to an IV and a monitor.
Just as I look up at the gauze wrapped around my arm, the memories flood in. River. Rivers motionless body. He's gone. I can feel the hot tears threatening to pour down. I hold them in, this isn't a time to grieve. Not yet. I rip the IV out of my arm and left the room.
As I walk through the warehouse, small whispers were in the air. Everyone was trying to not make eye contact and looking busy. I know my facial expression said everything they needed to know.
I make my way to Rivers office and storm in there. Elliot is standing with ten of our best men chatting. He looked up at me as I walked in. "Hey! You're awake! Thank go- "
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPEND! How didn't we see this coming," I yell, cutting Elliot off. I notice his eyes were red and swollen and his face pained.
Everyone looks distraught and kept their heads down. Elliot looks at me with a cold hard expression. "Vix..."
"Answer ME. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" I said through gritted teeth. I balled my fists up as I walk to Rivers desk and slam them down. "WHO was that?" Pure anger and hatred laced in my voice.
"We don't know. We didn't set the meeting up."
"What do you mean—Why was River even fucking there. He doesn't take meetings like that."
"It was a favor. He thought it would be a good peace offering... Valerio Luna set it up." My eyes widen. That name. It had to be pure coincident right? "He promised to abide by Rivers rules if he took this meeting."
"Valerio..." I tested the name as if saying it for the first time.
"Him and his brother took over his dads' gang here in Brooklyn last year. They have been falling out of line so River thought this would be a good opportunity to a truce." Elliot's jaw tight and anger flooding his eyes.
"I know all about their dilemma. I had a solution, but River said he was taking care of it. They're responsible for this set-up?" I spat out.
"As far as I am aware of."
"Find them. Find where they are NOW. They will pay for what they did. Suit up and be ready. We leave tonight." I order as I walk out of the office.
***************
I was loading my gun in the armory when Elliot found me.
"We found their location. They're at their west side warehouse. We estimate only nine armed men and one female who doesn't look armed. What do you want to do boss?"
