Your King Is Back

"Why? Why? Of all jobs, Mitchell!" Mum wailed and I watched her from my chair with my legs on the table and my hands folded behind my head not minding the injury on my arm.

"Mum calm down, just listen to....

"Listen? Listen? Oh God!" She exclaimed and I almost laughed at her dramatic wail. I signalled to Ruby, my sister, to calm her down but she rolled her eyes and I sighed. Seriously?

"Mum I love what I'm doing." I said, taking my legs away from the table.

"Oh really? You love carrying guns, shooting at people, trafficking drugs, engaging in massive shoot outs, risking your life? Mitchell what you're doing is the same thing as signing a death sentence. Being what you are is a huge risk. You're still young..you're just 23, why did you do this to yourself huh?"

"Mum listen to me."

"No you shut up and listen to me! I'm your mother and I know I shouldn't be making decisions for you but I have to at this point. I didn't give birth to you for you to join some suicide gang and engage in a deadly game, you have to quit!" She said sternly with the tone of finality and I chuckled..quit? Not in this world and not in the next.

"That ain't gon happen." I said, taking a bunch of grape from the tray of fruits in front of me.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to." I said nonchalantly.

"Ha! Romeo..are you hearing this? Are you listening to what your son is saying? See the position he is. Look at his arm just look at him." Mum said to dad who was sitting with his arms folded, watching the whole drama and not saying anything since this whole conversation started.

"Mum..it's just a little shot on the arm." I said and she chuckled bitterly.

"It will soon get to a big shoot on the chest, do you think I'll be myself if you die?" She screamed and I covered my ears.

"Abigail your voice is raising you've got to calm down." Dad said for the first time and I smiled and winked. He shot me a glare and I winked again. Thank God this place is sound proof.

"You know what? Come on, come rest. I'm sure your blood pressure is rising by now." Dad said as he went to mum who was busy crying on the floor. I don't even know what to do. I'm a mob boss so what? I like what I'm doing and I'm not ready to quit. Even tho if it means going against my mum's order. I love her so much but I can't quit. There's no way I can even quit. The door banged close and I sank into the cushion. I'll go talk to her when she's calm.

"Mr.Mitchell, ya happy now?" Ruby said as she got up from her seat. I rolled my eyes and stood up. I took a glass of wine in my hand and I walked to the transparent glass surrounding my office giving me a clear view of the city below.

"Why did you tell her?"

"Tell her? Dude you went missing for two fucking days. We went to your house, we didn't see you there only for mum to see bunch of guns in your safe."

"Well, how did she know the password."

"I gave her the password."

"Dammit Ruby!" I seethed, throwing the glass of wine at the wall.

"What? You know how manipulative mum is and besides, I didn't know you would be keeping guns in your safe."

"Just leave .I'm not in my right senses right now." I said and she sighed. She came to me and pecked me on the cheek.

"Don't think too much  I know you don't like offending mum. Just give her time." She winked and patted my back before she left. I sighed and slumped on my chair. I ruffled my hair and swerved left and right. She's right, I don't like offending mum. I chuckled at the memory of how I got shot on the arm and that particular girl...that crazy girl..

|•TWO DAYS AGO•|

"Frank you copy?" I asked through my ear pod as I got down from my car. I adjusted the collar of my shirt and I smirked. I walked into the arcade with my men trailing behind me. I sighted King at a table and I took mighty steps to him.

"Red." He beamed as he saw me and I nodded.

"It's good to see you too King." I sat down and my men stood at my back. Two sluts came to me and I winked at them.

"So tell me, what have you been up to?" He asked taking a sip of Brandy.

"Nothing much, just the normal culture " I replied, picking up a strawberry with a toothpick. I looked round the arcade and I saw my men around in different disguises. Is that Frank as the DJ? It's hard to recognize him in that mustache. 

"Wait for my order." I muttered loud enough for my men to hear. I stared at King in front of and I smirked. Too bad he'll be dead tonight. Do you know why he's called King?

Well, that's because he's the biggest and the boss of all mobs - he's the King in this game and in this game, you have to get rid of the top dog to be the top dog and that's what I'm doing tonight.

"Three, two and...

I made eye contact with Frank and I nodded slightly. 

"One."

At at my command, a gunshot blasted and everyone got disordered..time to strike.

Well, this is my plan. I had my men disguised here because I didn't wanna raise suspicions. They're gonna engage in a shootout and I will be the "hero". T'm gonna act like I'm saving King and then..boom!I'll kill him afterwards. He's 65 and he can't walk properly, making my job easier.

"What the fuck is happening?" King exclaimed as he got under the table. Other mobs have joined the shoot.

Well, who the hell wants to die? No one, so they have to.

"We need to get you out of here." I yelled. Yelling because if how loud the gunshots were. I took a a gun out of my suit and cocked it. I pulled him out from under the table and I took his hands as we shot out way to the door. Do you know what's funny about all these?

I'll tell ya, other men in this room will find this a perfect opportunity to kill King because everything is in chaos. His men are busy shooting in order to keep breathing, no one is available to protect him but he has me, for now that is .

I shot a man trying to pull his gun out. I pushed King under a table and I stood on it. I took out my pocket knife and I smirked. Time to dance. I jumped on the pool table and I threw the knife into a man's throat. 

"Get the fuck here and help me." I said to my men and in no time, they came to where I was. I left the motherfuckers for my men to take care of and I left with King. We rushed to my car and I drove off with him..

"Thank you Red." He said and I smirked

"Anytime."

I looked at the front mirror and I saw two cars chasing us..this is about to get bumpy.

"You can drive right?"I asked

"Yes."

"Good, take the wheels."

I released my hands from the stierring wheel and he quickly held it. I went to the backseat of the car and I raised it up revealing all kinds of guns. I took a combat rifle and I cocked it. I opened the door of the backseat and I gave a F you sign before I started firing. Okay, two cars with two shooters each..hmm..not bad.

They fired at me and I kept dodging and using the door of the car as shield.

I targeted at the head of the first driver and I fired straight into his skull. The car lost balance and it hit  the second one causing them to both roll into each other and crash over the bridge. Well, that was a  beautiful sight to behold.

I went back into the car and I told King to shove over. I took over the driving and I drove a distance before I finally stopped.

"Get out." I said coldly.

"What?"

"Get your freaking butt out!"

He gulped and scurried out of the car. I took my pistol and I got out of the car. I pointed my pistol at him and he shivered.

"Wha...what are you doing?"

"What does it look like King?" I said with a smirk. He pulled out his gun and tried to shoot but I kicked the gun out if his hands.

He tried to run but I shot his two legs making him to crash on the ground.

"Oh king king king." I said as I strode towards him. I bent to his height and he glared daggers at me. I chuckled and patted his head.

"You didn't see this coming did ya?"

"You motherfucking betrayer." He seethed in pain and I tsked.

"You are talking about betrayers when you're the leader of that particular group. You sent one of your minions to my own abode to steal informations from me. You turned my followers against me..why? Because I'm more intelligent than you are?" I said and he had a shocked expression on.

"Oh, you're surprised? Well, don't be. I'm Red, I know everything and I also know that in less than 20mins, your son will be here because he knows I have his poor little daddy here. Don't get me wrong he's not going to come to save you, he's going to come so he can end your life and I won't let that happen because I wanna kill you myself and because I don't want you to die of heartbreak. Seeing your own son betraying you and killing you with his own hands. Isn't that so heartbreaking?" I said in a sad mocking voice. "Well, I'll save you the heartbreak. Good bye King, greet the devil for me. Tell him I'll probably join you guys in hell in the next 50yrs." I said with a smirk and I drove 3 bullets into his skull. Eww, ruptured skull..

I took out my sticker and I glued it on his mouth..

The sticker that says "RED"

I stood up and I saw a car rift to a stop in front of me..knew the motherfucker would come.

"Nas, I didn't expect you to come this early." I said tucking my gun at the back of my pants.

"You maniac!" He tried to punch me but I held his hand Midway and gave him three straight punches to the face.

"Look, I just killed almighty King. I don't wanna kill his precious son you know." I said and he removed his hand from his bleeding nose..

"Here, take a tissue and wipe that thing off your nose. It's making me wanna puke."

I stretched a tissue to him and he wanted to shoot me but I was fast enough to kick the gun out of his hands and elbow him on the stomach. I gave him two kicks to the face and I smashed his head on the windscreen of the car...

"You're one pathetic human being Nas and I'll end your pathetic life for you."

With that, I shot him twice on the head and I spat out. I placed my sticker on his head and I dusted my hand. I wanted to enter my car but I got interrupted by the siren of the police..great...just great! Five police cars parked in front of me and I hummed in interest.

"Put your hands behind your back and kneel down."

One of the Santa Clauses said and I flicked my tongue. Not that they could say me do that anyways, I'm always masked in my red mask. It covers my nose down to my jaw.

I turned and put my hands behind my back with a smirk. Can't wait for this to go crazy. The one that was ready to die came to me and tried to hold me..

"Hi." I said and he looked at me like I was crazy..

"Goodbye." I said again and before he could react, I grabbed the cuffs from him in a swift and disfigured his face with it. I used the man as a shield and I smiled at the shocked faces of the santa clauses.

"You shoot, he dies..you know that right?"

"Shoot him!"

What? I'm using one of them as shield right now but the commander is saying they should shoot? Even the others tried to oppose.

"But sir, we'll shoot him with Red."

"Yeah..you better listen to him." I said..

"I said shoot him!!!"

Okay, maybe this Commander isn't so nice. They all started shooting and the poor guy received the first round of bullets. I hid behind my car and I brought out two guns. With twelve bullets in each.

I got out of my hiding place and I shot down four police in a flash.

I dodged as many bullets as I could and I shot at them. I tried to shoot again but my gun clicked. Oh oh..

The commander smirked and cocked his gun. There are 2 police men remaining and that includes the commander. He shot one at my chest and I groaned. The force made me swerve to the back. He shot another one and I went further to the back. He shot another one to my tummy and I groaned. My back is already at the railings of the bridge. He smirked and shot the next one to my arm and I lost balance. He came to me and pushed my off the bridge. Oh well, and that was where my life ended..

Just kidding, I'm Red, I never die. I splashed into the river and I took off my suit jacket. I tore my shirt and tied it on my wounded arm. I took off my bullet proof. Yeah, I was wearing it all along. I took it off along side with my mask and I swam off, destination, I don't know.

It wasn't long before I found the river bank. I crawled out of the river and I collided with the soft sand. It's probably midnight or late night right now.

I got up to my feet and I started walking. This place looks like an island. I walked along a bushy path and I took out my phone from my pocket. Thank God it's is water proof. I switched it on so as to be easily located.

I kept on walking and I quickly hid when I felt someone pass between the bushes. I sneaked quietly and I saw a person picking up woods..I sneaked to the back of the person I wasled quietly to the feminine figure and I covered her nose. I pulled her away from where she was to a more secured place. I left her mouth and immediately, I felt a sharp pain on my groin.

"Fuck!" I groaned in pain.

She picked up a stick and wacked me continuously.

"You..good..for..nothing...motherfucking.. scumbag." She said and continued to wacked me as she said each word.

"Lady just chill..I...

She didn't let me finish my statement as she continued to wack me. I got furious and grabbed her hand, smashing her back on a tree.

She stood up breathing heavily. She wiped her mouth with the back of her palm and her eyes went to my arm.

"Bl..blood?" She said as she came towards me.

"What...what the hell happened to you?" She asked and I hissed before turning to leave.

"Wait, I can treat you. Your arm is loosing a lot of blood numskull. Stay, I'll be back." She scurried away and I looked around before I sat on the ground. She came back after sometime with a white box. She sat beside me and she removed the blood soaked shirt I used to wrap my arm.

She wiped the blood around my arm with a tissue and I just watched her do her thing. Is she a doctor?

She soaked tissue into methylated spirit and she breathed in.

"This will hurt." She said and before I could say anything, she placed it on my wound.

"Hell! Why didn't give me a headstart!" I yelled

"I told you it'll hurt!" She yelled back.

I hissed and she rolled her eyes before picking something like scissors. Tiny scissors, she placed it on the face of the would and she successfully picked out the bullet.

She cleaned it up and she bandaged it.

"What kind of job are you doing that you got shot?"

"Why don't you keep your stupid mouth shut?"

"If that's your way of saying thank you then, you're welcome knucklehead." She said and I scoffed..I can never say that.

She went to dispose the used tissues and then, she came back.

She sat beside me and she passed me a canned Pepsi.

"What do they call you?" she asked but I ignored her.

"Hey! No one ignores me when I talk!" She snapped and I turned to look at her with venomous eyes. She shivered and I smirked..good!

She rolled up her sleeves and I marveled at the tattoos on both of her arms.

"Did you get lost?" I asked.

"Well, I ran away form camp." She said with a shrug.

"Camp?"

"Yeah, school camp, we were going on a treasure hunt and I took that as an opportunity to run away because I was bored. I planned to return but...I lost my way and I can reach them because my phone is dead."

"Crazy." I said and she chuckled.

"Yeah..so how did you get here?"

"Long story that I don't wanna say." I said and she eyed me before lying down.

"Rubbish." She muttered and I gave a lopsided smile. I laid down with my hands folded behind my back and I sighed. I brought out my phone and I saw a message from Frank.

...coming...

I hummed and kept looking at the moon... I just can't sleep.

                      |•PRESENT•|

A boat came the next morning to come pick me. For some reason I didn't want to leave without leaving the crazy girl a note so I just wrote a short note to her and placed it beside her and also, I sent a chopper to go pick her. She'll definitely be grateful. I didn't even ask for her name, well, if the universe wants it then, we'll surely meet again..

"Ready?" Frank asked and I nodded before stepping out of the car. We both walked with commanding aura side to side into the underground mob house specially built for meetings of all mob bosses.

They think I'm dead? Well they should think again..

The door was opened ajar for me and everywhere went to a pin drop silence as I walked in with my shoes making majestical sound. I walked to my suppose seat that was being occupied by an intruder.

"And what are you doing on my seat?" I asked coldly and he gulped before standing up with trembling legs. I sat on the chair that has "King" embedded on it and I leaned on the table.

"Your king is back!"
