This is America; land of the free, home of the brave. In four major cities around the country, a criminal organization flourished in its dealings. The Four Aces, as they were known, is probably the biggest multi-generational gathering of gangsters and criminals in the land. They had a finger in almost every business which had to pay them a regular sum of money since the inception of the Aces' and the business' new alliance. In return, not the protection that the lowlife scum promised where a rival gang would happily lay waste to the business and the protection would be none the wiser; instead, the Aces provided protection like 'soldiers' to guard their investments and their interests. Because, you see, loyalty means everything to them. With the police cracking down on crime lately, they are stepping up their game. They need all the help they can get for one great heist that would earn them their crown.

You fight the outside war to keep your family safe but when the war is on the inside secrets are exposed, the good become bad, and the innocent become experienced.

FBI's Most Wanted by KittyHazelnut

It started with hustling pool. He needed some sort of income. Living off the streets at twelve years old isn't easy in any respect, but it helps to have money. Then came the pickpocketing. It's amazing how much cash someone carries in their wallet at a time. Just a brief bump and he can easily slip a hand in a pocket. He'd have to use the credit cards quickly. He could match a signature well enough that a machine wouldn't care. It would only be a matter of time until the card was canceled, but he'd have it long enough to buy a new pair of shoes or a jacket in the winter. And the cash, he'd save that for a rainy day. Then came the shoplifting. He finds its easier to steal directly from the source. Hiding a twenty dollar shirt in a hoodie pocket was easier than finding the twenty dollars themselves, and showing up at the grocery store right when it opens and shoving an apple down his throat when no one was looking isn't as complicated as it sounds. It was never supposed to get violent. He was just trying to keep himself alive. He didn't expect them to be home. But then he made a game of it, and he never truly realized how high the stakes were - not until there were weapons involved. He did what he had to do. He snatched the knife, and what happened to the man, he'll never know. It was a nasty wound, though. If he did somehow survive it, he'll almost certainly never walk again. That day changed everything. It opened up a world of possibilities. He's been breaking the law for months, but it never occurred to him that he could just outright ignore it. He'll do what he has to do, and he'll do what he wants to do, and no law is going to stop him. And that's how this seventeen-year-old Gabriel Adams became the FBI's most wanted serial killer.

The people always said to hurt her more then what they already did if she told anyone about all of if.

She only knew of one person that she could really turn to and that was... Well Siva, and the rest of us. That was almost 2 years ago. I never thought I would be telling anyone this story, but here I am, doing the crazy. So I'm going to start at the begining, the first day we met met Hana, and the day that we gained a new part of the family. A best friend, a sister, a loved one; Hana came into our lives faster then you could say I Found You.

The Hollingway Twins by EmmaLouise757

We have grown up in the reality that our parents should not be together. Our father had a lot of problems that our mom had covered up, or at least had tried to when we were growing up. My twin brother and I vowed if we ever met the right girl or girls we wouldn't treat her/them like our father treated our mother and we definitely would never get married. Then we met her and we knew we had to protect what was ours: Charlene Our family was unorthodox it was a joke. Mom had finally left our father after years of mental abuse and we learnt we had an aunt who was young enough to be our sister, but what we didn't know was that we had two uncles to the same age as Charlene our angel. They were devils in disguise wanting revenge for an accident that killed their mother and hers, though she had nothing to do with it. We took her under our protection but it wasn't enough they found her and made sure that she would pay for her sins even if their weren't any. Chester, and Henley were the brothers of my father, our sperm donor and the bane of our existence. Mom had finally got away from that despicable man and into the arms of another. Trying so hard to do the right thing by all of us we vowed to keep Charlene safe and with us, but that didn't stop them it never stopped them. Who will fall first and who will fail in the claws of love and hate?
