Daddy's Legacy

Chapter 1

"SOFIA" He yells threw the gun shots then 

DARKNESS

Daddy was a business man. He was a boss. He owned hotels all over the world. Those who payed for the big house we live in. Him, me, my 2 sisters and mother. One evening I was watching YouTube when the maid can into my room "Miss Sofia you father would like to speech to you in his office"  "Thank you tell him I will be right down" "Alright" My father raised me and my sisters to be polite and respectful to everyone because you never know who and when you will need a favor from but he also told us to never depend on anyone to do everything yourself and do everything you can for others because its better to have someone owe you than you owe someone. 

I went to my daddies office and I seen him behind his desk in his usual suit. "Mami como estas" (Babygirl how are you) "buen y tu daddy" (good and you daddy)  "te tengo que decire algo " (I have to tell you something)  "what is it" "I had this conversation with both of you sisters when they where both 10. Now I have to tell you. What's my job?" "Your a business man" "For what business" "You own hotels." "Is that it?" "Yeah" "No I do more than just own hotels." " What else do you do?" "I am a Mafia boss. Do you know the Mafia is?" "No" "Do you know what a gang is?" "Yeah" "Well a Mafia is kind of a gang." "Whats the difference?" "Pues (Well) the mafia is a business that has friends and enemies all over the world and a gang is more like a group of people from the same town. I am a mafia boss I have friends that help me with my business all over the world but I also have people who want to hurt me and take my business from me all over the world." "Why do they want to take it from you?" "Because I am very powerful and I have a lot of money and a very big business and in the mafia world the bigger the business the bigger the enemy unless they are you friends and or partners." "Is it dangerous?" "Yes *takes out a gun* Do you know what this is?" "A gun" "This can kill you and everyone in the mafia has one. They can kill you at any moment it is very dangerous." "Than why are you in it" "Because it's a business that I was brought  into I will tell you the story later if you still want to hear it." "Ok" "But right now I am going to tell you want I do and what could happen. I am going to tell you everything then I am going to ask you a question so listen carefully ok" "Ok" " I am a mafia boss. I have a business. My business is transporting alcohol and weapons to all my friends. I have a lot of people who work for me and they do a lot. They go on missions. Missions that could get them killed but they do it because they are loyal. Loyalty is a really big thing you cant ask for it you have to earn it with a lot of hard work. I also trust those people. Trust is also really big and just like loyalty you cant ask for it you have to earn it. I kill people. Bad people. People who wanted to kill me who wanted to kill you to kill you sisters or you mom. People who owed me money. People who are after my business. I have sent orders to the people I trust to kill other people. It's not ok but I did what I had to do to protect you and me and my family. Estas buen. (You're ok)" "Si (yes)" " I have trained and practiced using a gun. I have trained to fight with my bear hands. I am considered a bad person and I am but all I do is protect my family the way I do it is not ok but it's a way. I am going to show you a video but if you want me to stop it tell me and I will ok" "Ok" 

He shows me a video of different things. A video of people transporting drugs, alcohol, and all kinds of weapons. A video of people killing someone. A video of people protecting there loved ones. A video of people in the middle of gun fight. People cleaning up a dead body. Things that would scare a child but not me. I understood everything my dad was telling me. I understood that this was a very dangerous world to be apart of. I understood that I could die at any moment. I understood that I would have to kill people. I understood this business. I understood that some people do it for power, some for money, some where put into this world with no choice, and some to save there families. I understood this world and I understood why my father was apart of it. He hasn't told me how he got into it but he did explain to me why. He explain this evil world to me just like he did to my other sisters. Just like he did to my mom. This talk lasted hours. He explained how it works, what he did, what he does, and how he does it. 

"Tienes miedo (are you scared)" "no" "por que (why)" "porque yo se que tu no eres una mala persona, yo se que tu ases muchas cosas que son malas pero por una buena rason (because I know that you are not a bad person, I know that you do many things what are bad but for a good reason)" " I am going to ask you a very important question. You can say no you can say yes. You don't have to answer me right now you can think about it. Both of your sisters said no and I am perfectly ok with it. I still love them both so much. Ok" "Yeah" " Ok ..... do you want to be apart of this world? Do you want to be apart of the Mafia?" *silence* "Can I have some time to think about it" "Claro que si mami (of course babygirl) when you figure it out come talk to me ok" "Yeah" 

I went back to my room and thought about everything my daddy had just told me. I thought about everything. The killing. Protecting my family. I thought about the day my dad can home with a bullet in his leg. My mom was angry and my sisters at the time where 12 so they already knew what was happening and they looked frightened almost scared to death. I was only 7 so I had no idea what was going on they just told me. "Don't worry about it. Daddy just had an accident." But now I know that someone shot my dad. Someone was after my dad. Someone wanted and probably still wants to kill my dad. I have to protect my family. I had made my decision. I looked over to my bedside table to my clock and it was now 4 A.M. in the morning. I have been thinking about this all night. Evaluated everything. Thought everything threw. I went to bed with my decision clear in my head.
