The Gangleaders

Ace's POV:

I yawned and stretched my arms. This made Chance groan and roll to the other side.

"What time is it?" She asked sleepily. I took my phone from the bed stand. "11 am" I said.

"Ugh, it is time to get up" Chance said and stood up from the bed.

I was still laying and couldn't bring myself to stand up. After few minutes I felt something hit me.

"Okay! I am up, up" I said and jumped from the bed.

When I finally managed to wake myself, I went into the bathroom and did my morning routine.

Chance was ready before me so she went downstairs to make breakfast.

Boys weren't at home today. Mason and Jason were checking out the stuff which was delivered to us few days ago. And Max I think was out to train with Blair.

When I walked downstairs I enjoyed the silence of the house.

No arguments no video games sound not a sound of yelling and running.

"What a beautiful morning" I said and walked to the kitchen. Chance chuckled. "I know right? I didn't know house can be so silent" she said and handed me pancakes.

"Wow, you could cook! "I said playfully and looked at the pancakes. "Are you sure you made everything right? I mean am I gonna die if I eat it?" I said as I sat at the table.

Chance rolled her eyes and looked at me. "Ace, if I wanted to kill you I would have done it long time ago. But, you are alive so shut up and eat" she said and hit my arm.

After the breakfast me and Chance decided to play video games.

"I won!" Chance beamed proudly. I sighed and put down the controller.

"I thought you would lose again. But you are a fast learner" I said and she smiled.

"Tell me something I don't know. "Chance said and I rolled my eyes.

"Let’s go to the gym. I am bored, I can't sit and play video games anymore" I said and stood up.

Chance agreed and took the keys from the counter. We got out I locked the door and Chance started the engine.

"Also, we should see how things going on with Blair. I want her to go on a mission with us today." Chance said.

I looked at her confused. "We have mission tonight?" She quickly glanced at me and turned her attention back to the road.

"Ace, sometimes I wonder how you became the gang leader. Your memory is terrible." She said.

I smirked at her. "I tend to use my memory for more important stuff, rather than the gang work" Chance rolled her eyes. "Yeah, sure"

We soon parked the car and walked to the gym. In one of the rooms Mason and Jason was finishing up with the weapons.

There were lots of guns also different kinds of bullets. But none of this draw Chance's attention. Her attention was only on the knifes.

They had rose symbol in the back and a little rose ivy carved to the knife itself.

Chance took one of them and played it around her finger. With smile on her face she put it to her jeans.

"Is everything good with this?" I asked. Jason looked at table where were weapons and to the paper.

"Yeah, for now everything is good. We will move on to next package soon." He said.

After helping boys to carry weapons to the basement we went to the main training room.

Me and Chance was looking around for Max but didn't find him there.

But Blair was there-training with other gang members. "Max told us that he will be here with you. Haven't you seen him today?" Chance asked Blair ans she shook her head.

"No, in the morning I saw him come here with Mason but after that he wasn't around" She said. Chance looked at me we both were confused.

Why would Max lie?

"Um, guys. We found something unusual. Look at it" Mason said as me and Chance walked out of the training room.

When we looked at him. We saw that he had a box in his hand.

Not that box again

We quickly dragged Mason into the room. Jason was there as well.

"I swear if it is the same thing. I am gonna kill that shithead" I said angrily and opened the box.

But this time the content inside of the box was different.

It was a photo of just two people holding hands. It was took in the night time and from the back. You can't really tell who this people are.

And of course, the note. 'I know'

Chance explained guys about the previous box while I was searching for some clue about the person who send it.

Again, the box was just simple without anything on it. Just plain box with the photo and the note inside it.

"But what can it be?" Jason asked. "It is certainly about some secret but who's secret?" Mason continued.

And then it hit me. I know who's secret it is. But it isn't my mission to tell it everyone.

He must say it himself or it will harder for him. I knew that it is gonna pop up some day.

I moved my hand through my hair and turned my attention to the door.

Max walked inside and was making his way to the gym when Chance called him over.

"Hey, guys how are you?" Max said and looked at us and then to the box.

"Max do you know what things inside the box mean?" I said and pointed to the box. Max looked at me confused and picked up the photo and the note.

He looked at picture for a minute and then read the note. His eyes went big and he looked at me for help.

I shook my head and pointed at guys. "Um, care to explain what happened?" Chance asked both of us.

Max let out a breath and looked at them. "Um, guys there is something I was keeping from you. But before you say something else. I was afraid of your reaction so that’s why I hid it. "Max panicked said quickly.

Chance put her arm to Max's shoulder. "Dude, just breath and tell. I swear whatever it is I am still gonna be your best friend" she said and

Max smiled. He took a deep breath. "I am gay"
