Taking a deep breath stealthily I open the door, holding the gun up in one hand. The hallway is dark but I can hear breathing and shuffling in one direction. As soon as I hear it, my trigger finger itches in anticipation I shoot on reflex. A groan and feet scuffling along the floor is heard as the noise echoes through the hall. Pulling the knife out from my trouser pocket and holding it up as the light flicks on. I rapidly blink adjusting to the light now being on. Turning to the direction of where the light is I see Lucas. He is in his boxers, with hair sticking up all over the place and a confused look plastered on his face. Turning back to where I originally faced, on the floor is blood smeared across the floor running in the direction of the stairs.
''Go back to bed Lucas, if you want to help keep yourself and Luci out of the way.'' looking back at him I see him wiping the tiredness from his eyes and he walks towards the bedroom Lucifer is staying in opposite his own. Following the trail of blood cautiously down the stairs. Half way down I catch a glimpse of a foot rounding the corner of the stairs and heavy staggered breathing can be heard. Whoever it is, is heading towards my office. When I get to the bottom of the stairs, my office door has blood smeared on the door knob. Holding the gun up ready, I push the door open quietly and I see the shadow of a man at my desk. He doesn't seem to notice me so I flick the light switch on. Andre is standing stark eyed at me. What the fuck is he doing here? He looks up and stares at me, shock and fear swarming his eyes as I sneer sinisterly. Walking over to him, he shakes slightly and I grab him by the back of his shirt collar. I pull him to me stabbing him in the thigh and pushing him to the floor as my phone starts to ring. Sighing I pick up my phone, my eyes never leaving the adolescent boy in front of me.
''What?'' I growl into the phone
''B-bboss someone tried hacking the mainframe 10 minutes ago and the main warehouse is in tatters we need you.'' I put the phone down not wanting to listen anymore.
''Fuckkkkk'' I growl pulling at my hair slightly. ''LUCAS! LUCIFER! DIMWITS GET YOUR ASS DOWNSTAIRS TO MY OFFICE NOW!'' I shout whilst pouring myself a glass of whiskey from the expensive glass bottle on the bookshelf in the corner of my office. Sitting in my office chair I sip the amber liquid, savouring the flavour. Eventually both of the boys' clamber into my office, still changing into clothes on the way down. Confused sets of eyes stare at my calm form as they see the boy on the floor and me sipping my whiskey.
''Sorellina stai bene?'' Lucas asks wearily.
(Little sister are you okay?)
''Why wouldn't I be? A teenage boy broke into my house, one of the warehouses burnt down, my soldiers are going crazy and apparently someone tried hacking my mainframe. So, I have to go back to the office. You two are going to stay here with this idiot, don't kill him I want the honours. I will be back soon check him for weapons and communication devices. Upstairs there should be a room full of weapons arm yourselves and be careful around the house. Don't tell our brothers I will tell Ace later; I might end up needing his help.'' I down the rest of my glass of whiskey before standing up.
''Nope I am older than you. Sorrellina I am calling the boys it is obviously not safe for you here.'' Lucas says
''I swear to God Lucas I can't leave my men like this. I built this mafia from the ground up. This is the only thing that is mine and mine alone. Let me fix it. I didn't have you or anyone looking out for me before I don't need you now. I love you both but I have business to attend to. And I'm not ready to go back, I saw Antonio twice after what he done. He crept into my room and followed me around the shop. I want two weeks away from that psycho.'' Lucas looks at me deep in thought. ''Please teddy bear'' he grins.
''Fine, but why is my nickname teddy bear?'' He asks confused.
''I will tell you later I need to go.'' I offer a small smile before going back to my normal emotionless facade.
