I lock the front door and climb into the car with my brother, who still hasn't told me his name, I don't make any effort to talk to him the whole drive to where ever we are going. I really don't know what to say. And I don't think he does, but he surprises me by trying to make conversation.

"My name is Edward, I am 21. You have 7 brothers in total. Our eldest brother Ace is 25, below me is Michael and Mario they are twins and both 17. There is also Giovani and Lucas who are 16 and there is your twin Lucifer who is 15. We all live in Sicily and the boys are so excited to meet you especially Lucifer." he pauses for a moment trying to gauge my reaction but I remain cold and silent. "We spent years trying to find you. So, we are glad to have you back, no matter what you think" we pull up onto the tarmac when my phone rings again. Sighing I pick it up.

"Boss just before you go off the grid, I wanted to update you on the snitch situation." Asher's voice says into the receiver.

"Go ahead," I need a break from work, it's exhausting.

"We found one other snitch and found out they are spying for the Russians," he explains.

"I will end the dirty Russians, I will crush every single one of them between my fingers, I will burn down their home until its nothing but rubble and ash." I seethe through my teeth, as I clench my fist through anger. "Set up a meeting before I declare war."

"I will let you know once I have set up a meeting." Once he says that I put the phone down, not wanting to talk to him. I put my phone on silent and place it in my pocket.

Edward opens the door for me and I give him a nod keeping stoic before walking towards the plane. I could really do with a drink or a cigarette right now. ignoring the thoughts, I walk towards one of the seats and sit down I am exhausted from all the never-ending problems. I usually don't sleep much but I am so tired. Ignoring my exhaustion, I pull out a MacBook from my backpack and get to work. Edward has been staring at me for about 40 minutes, sighing I shut my MacBook yawn and look at him. "What?" I ask exasperated.

"you're tired." he states.

"I had a few hours earlier, I'm good." I tell him. "So, thank you for trying to state the obvious, captain fucking obvious over here." I scoff, before re opening my mac for the second time.

"What are you doing?" he whines standing from his seat and walking towards me.

"By my guess you and the others know about me and my work?" I ask cautiously. Too which he nods and takes the chair next to me.

"Yes, you have the family genes. Another capo in the family." I just smirk, and continue my research.

"So, as my rival can you not read over my shoulder?" I can feel myself getting agitated as his head is so close to mine.

"we're family, and who knows I might be able to help you if you let me." moving my head slightly I get a full view of a pouty 'brother'. Shaking my head, I brush him off and carry-on working.

"oooh numbers" he comments whilst studying what I am doing "go to sleep little one," he whispers into my ear. The few hours I got earlier was the only sleep I've had in 4 days; I contemplate sleeping for a few minutes but end up getting annoyed.

"I don't sleep and as you can see, I am working," slamming the lid of my laptop down I stand up. Not liking how I even contemplated sleeping with the amount of work I have to do. "If you don't mind, I have some calls to make." Walking to the other side of the plane, I take out my phone and see 7 missed calls. As I am about to call Asher, Edward starts to speak again.

"Your 15, right?" I nod showing no emotion. "No 15-year-old should be the way you are, so emotionless, so angry, so busy. Even in our line of work none of the boys are like this."
