"Benito, it's Benito, he's dead."
"I GOT TO GO!" he said harshly as he put away his cell phone. He grabbed his clothes and abruptly left.
"Well," I looked around for my landline.
"Michael, can you come pick me up"
"Didn't go well?"
"No, it went really well, now mind your business and just come get me,"

"Benito, it's Benito, he's dead."
My father's words played in my head over and over again. I didn't care much for Benito but he was family and his murder was a direct hit on my family. There was no other way of seeing it. Someone was calling us out and as the new leader of the Morretti family syndicate, I knew I had to take action and find whoever was responsible for this. I arrived at our warehouse and Luca was ready to report.
"Your father and Uncle will be here tomorrow evening," I looked over to the bar and Luca followed. Someone handed me a scotch on the rocks. I downed it and then had another.
"Did anyone know Benito was here," I asked Luca
"No,"
"He brought this on himself, I could have protected him," I shouted.
"Riccardo,"
"What!"
"He was killed at the Viper Room," Luca said.
"s**t!"
"What?" Luca asked.
"I was there, I was f*****g THERE!" I couldn't control my emotions. If I hadn't been busy with that fine piece of ass I would have probably been there to stop it or at least catch the fucker who did it.
"We pulled the surveillance,"
"AND?" I said impatiently.
"There are only about a dozen women going in and out of that area, his security and that's it," Luca explained.
"You think he was waiting inside for him the entire time,"
"Possible, we are integrating the owner and his team, could have had help from the inside,"
"You think?"
"There was another body," Luca said. "A waitress, her throat was slit."
"Maybe she helped and then they had to get rid of loose ends," I said.
"Possibly, but we know this is bigger than some random waitress and Benito," Luca added. "They might try to come for you next."
"Benito is an i***t," I said. "Keep me posted, I'm going home." I grabbed my jacket and headed out to my car. I wondered if going back to that chicks place would be a good idea or not. She was fine as hell and I kind of could use another release. I figured it was too much trouble so I headed to a gentlemen's club that was under our protection. I entered an immediately was escorted to the back private area.
"Anything in particular?" they asked.
"The brunette and then you can have the other three come in," I said. I sat in the comfortable spacious couch and waited for the sultry brunette to come in. She was barely wearing anything. She smiled but I just gestured for her to get on her knees. She did as she was told. She quickly got to work and I closed my eyes, picturing the last thing I remembered for early tonight. I wish I could have kept her lips on my c**k a little longer. I wanted her but I would use this w***e for now. I pushed her down further on my c**k and she choked.
"I don't know how but I will find you again," I thought to myself. I had my fun with the three ladies and then headed home. I had a lot of work to do. I needed my rest because I knew I wouldn't have much of it until I find the asshole who dared to pick a fight with my family.

"Jax," I said shocked. "Where is Michael?"
"On a job, doll," Jax smirked.
"Take me to the Viper Room, I left my car there,"
"I know you didn't bring your mark here,"
"No, I had personal business to conduct," Jax rolled his eyes. I know it was risky but It was totally worth it. Jax drove me back to the club and I headed over to my car.
"Looks like the mob is still here," Jax pointed out.
"They didn't shut down the club," I said.
"They don't want to make a scene," Jax added.
"Want to have some fun," I smiled.
"Oh, bad bad girl," Jax wicked psychotic smile slowly covered his face. We both headed into the club. I pulled Jax to the dance floor and began grinding on him. Maybe for most, coming back to the place of their hit was a bad idea but for us. We took pleasure in it. We did it all the time. We were untouchable anyway.
"Doll, you're going to start something, that I think I am going to have to finish, whether you like it or not," I was trying to get a rise out of Jax so I was glad to hear it was working.
"Do you see what I see," I glanced over my shoulder.
"No rest for the wicked," Jax said. Benito's security and who I assume were members of his family were here. "Looks like you started a war."
"Against who?"
"Does it matter?"
"You think the other side is here too?" We both looked around and observed every person in the club. No one was remotely looking at what was going on where a bunch of men were yelling and going up and down the stairs that led to the private area where Benito was killed. My phone started buzzing.

Capture not kill
I put away my phone.
"Well, it's going to be a long night," I said.
"I told you, no rest for the wicked," Jax said. "Need some help."
"I just might," we began to head to the front door when I once again bumped into a familiar face.
"Le mie scuse signora," I recognize this handsome gentleman as the other guy I met at the club the other day. I knew they were friends so I was hoping the one I just slept with wasn't here too. I didn't have time to play. I had to work to do.
