Chapter six

Antonio's pov

The warehouse was filled as I walked towards the middle with a few of my men in tow,

Andre was busy beating an offender mercilessly, as blood ran down his fist he continued to punch the man whose face was unrecognizable now, as blood covered his face and it was as swollen As the buttocks of a roasted pig.

Andre asked him again as his voice roared like thunder in the warehouse, the man just muttered something and relaxed.

As Andre was about to hit him again I shouted "stop!

And walked towards the two my expression darkened as i looked from one face to the other and then I adjusted my tuxedo and squatted close to the bloodied man as I looked him in the eye I asked him

Where is my shipment? Looking straight at his only remaining half-closed eye,

I did not blink as he tried to look at me through the blood that covered his eye, I waited patiently for him to speak.

And then he said incoherently " I do not know".

I replied "I looked at him once more and asked again this time I said I know gina your wife and also I know your son too, be a good boy and speak before they lose you!

He said once more " I do not know"

I am going to kill you not because you stole I said, but because you stole from me and lied when I asked.

I took the gun from Andrea's holster and pulled the trigger.

Blood trickled down this time from a lifeless Jonny as his head fell to the side and his body looked peaceful.

He stole from the wrong place, youngsters are too eager to be at the peak I thought.

I looked at Andre who was shocked about what just happened and gave him back his gun and walked away.

He knows what to do with the body I did not have to tell him to dispose of it, as I got to my car my phone rang.

"Hello"

Boss, we found the rest of the guys and where they were hiding "

Did you find my shipment I asked 

Yes boss it is inside the building none of it has been sold it is all intact

I trust it is with you then.

No boss it is...

I hung up presumed julio would know exactly what to do I did not need to teach him that

If I had to teach all the boys about the business I will be out on the streets right now they have to figure it all out on their own and if they misbehaved they know the end of the matter was a bullet. Leaving my Barretta.

As my car pulled onto the road leaving the warehouse I called mike who was keeping an eye on amber and he gave me a soothing knew about her.

And how she was doing finally she was slowly letting go of her anger and I would watch her some more.

She is a past that could haunt me, a beautiful past that I have nurtured into a weapon and yet I will use her to my satisfaction I thought as a smile crept on my face, she is all mine I said aloud after mike ended the call.

The driver did not hear me I know and even if he did he knows saying anything could cost him his life and that of his family.

We stopped at Kendall Stones' office which was a frequent stop for me as she is my lawyer and the legal shield that kept the government and other business partners on their toes.

She is herself a don in her field as she was connected to all the top judges and whatever she wanted was granted.

As it was popular among her fellow lawyers that a case against Kendall was a loss in court.

She had her firm and all her lawyers were ivy league graduates except her like she picked only those who aced in their study and was made of true grit.

Her underlings competed on how to win her attention and there was only one way to do so with Kendall.

Win a case in court, not any case but one that brought in the big bucks as lawyers changed per hour and Kendall always stood for clients who could afford her.

Those with money and legal issues no lawyer was willing to tackle in court,

So I saw Kendall well she was a pure definition of a mafia boss 

But in her case, she is the boss that controlled a group of lawyers who battled the legal war for people like me.

As I walked into her office Kendall was seated in her black leather chair and her attention was fixed on her laptop as she continued to type.

Good afternoon me Antonio you are welcome she said with her whole attention still fixed on the laptop.

I smiled and sat after I told Marco to shut the door.

He stood outside and did as I asked.

What will you like to drink I asked my fridge is stocked she said

Oh Kendall that is very nice of you but you know I am not here to drink.

Then what are you here for mr Antonio?

You know better you called me here, I do not have time to waste, I said beginning to feel irritated.

I am here tell me what I need to know I said.

She began "two days ago a letter was brought to me about you".

She tossed the letter towards me and asked did she do it or not.

I do not pay you to ask me such questions I barked!

I kill people who raise their voice at me you know, and you will not be the last or the first 

So accord me the respect I deserve I retorted

Now ask gently I will reply to you.

Did you kill mr Jose or not I will like to know please, your answer will determine my course of action.

Or was it you or one of your boys?
