Mafia Queen

Jewel

Teela's POV

Three months after we added Rose to our lineup, I wanted to kill every man in the room. She was timid and they feed off of it. Trying to break her, she stands her ground fairly well, but I can tell she still needs to grow thicker skin. Keeping Donna at bay is my main focus at meetings. I thought I had bloodlust, she was insatiable.

"Oh, is the new Mafia Boss going to cry?" Kyeem sneered.

I grabbed Donna's arm before she could launch herself across the table. I give her a look and she sits down fuming. Jade sits on my other side with Rose next to her. She shifts her shoulder to position herself between Kyeem and Rose.

"Look, the other little girls playing at being the big boss have to protect her," he laughs.

"Be careful what comes out of your mouth. You have just taken over for your father a month ago. If he didn't tell you what I am capable of, those that have been here from the start of when I took over my family can," I said coldly, evenly, dripping with distain.

He shut his mouth and leaned back. His reign would be short, I would make sure of that. The meeting was boring, just tons of testosterone beating their chests on how powerful they are. The four of us rolled our eyes. When it came to the meat of the meeting, they all quieted down. Their fathers had handed them empires, and they didn't know what to do with them.

"Now that you have all stroked each other's egos, let's get down to the real business. We have had multiple break-ins and thefts of cargo from ports and convos. What are your plans to require the goods and take out the gangs responsible?" I inquire.

"My security firm has already acquired the information on their next hit. They will stop and capture them before they can complete the take-down," Kyeem responded.

"Why have they not taken the gang down before now?" Jade asks.

"We only have intel on where they intend to strike next," he said in a low voice.

From the door I heard, "The gang is called Black Hawk Down, and they have head courters on the Upper East Side."

I looked up to see a young woman with pale blonde hair walking in carrying a tablet. She stops behind Kyeem and looks directly at me. "I can send you the address if you like," she replies.

Donna, Jade and I exchanged looks and nodded. "You men are dismissed. You can do no more in this meeting," I said to the crowd.

They glare at me and grumble but get up and leave. I watch as Kyeem stops and stares at the girl. I can't read his face, but I know he is not pleased with her outburst. He is the last to leave. I gestured to the seat that he had been sitting in, and she took a seat.

"Name," I start.

"Emerald Jewel Wayne. I go by Jewel though."

"Teela, Jade, Donna and Rose," I say, indicating each member as I say their name.

"I know who you are. I just don't know how you got to where you are."

"That is a story for another day. Let's talk about the intel you have brought before us," I say cleanly.

She moves closer and hands me the tablet. I scan through everything that she has in the file that is open. I am impressed.

"How did you acquire all of this?" I ask her.

"Using my family's security system, I hacked into the mainframe and found gangs that were around the area where the next hit would be. My i***t brother got the information about that in his own way. I don't know how, but I wanted to verify that he got it right. That's why I hacked in. I found out who was working in that area, along with known affiliated gangs. Found correspondence between gang leaders and a read-out that showed all the traffic that we do. Our routes and times for deliveries. I was able to wipe it off their servers and then encrypt it on our end so they couldn't get back in."

I stare at her impressed. "You have single-handedly stopped further issues with deliveries and exports. We need someone like you on the court. Are you in?" I replied to her.

"Do I have to sign something or learn a secret handshake?"

"No, something a little bit more," I said, getting the look the other three understand.

Once I have her number, I text her an address. With instructions to be there in two hours. She leaves, leaving the current court alone.

"Please don't ask me to bring him. You know I can't," Rose says once the door closes.

"You are far too sweet to do what needs to be done. He's not my type. Jade, Donna?"

They look at each other and their eyebrows go up, "Settle it like adults? Rock, paper, scissors, shoot," they both say.

Jade wins and looks at me, "Anyway, I want to get him there?"

"Yes," I confirm. "Just make sure he is still alive."

Jade leaves to start her part. I send Donna to collect the needed tools. When it is down to Rose and me, I look at her.

"I want you to come this time," I began. "It will toughen you up to take part in what we are about to do."

"I don't know if I can," she replies, looking down.

"You never know what you are capable of until you do it," I assure her.

She looks up and nods her head. I drove the two of us to the meeting place. Donna arrives a few minutes later. Her eyes locked on Rose in surprise. "This is a treat," she said, hugging her. "Welcome to the best time you will ever have."

An hour later we hear a car. Jewel comes walking in. I nod to her. "Before the fun starts, I need you to make it look like your brother was summand here by a gang leader. Can you do that?" I ask her.

"Yes I can," she confirmed, pulling out a tablet and typing across it. When she finishes, she puts the tablet away, and I nod at her. She looks at the array of tools Donna has placed on the table and I see a small hint of the same joy Donna, Jade and I have in doing this. She may not want to be a part of it, but she will defiantly like to watch. We hear him long before we hear the horse's hooves.

Jade rides in on her black stallion, Demon. Dragging Kyeem behind her. Donna and I unhook him and attached the chains to the hook hanging from the ceiling. I can already see Rose ready to throw up. He has massive amounts of abrasions from being drugged over rough terrain. I smile and slide out of my clothes. We didn't bring a change and this was going to get messy.

I walk up with a knife in my hand and place the blade against his chest. Carving a Q in it. He screams out. The others follow, and soon there is a PJ and PD next to mine. Donna holds the blade out to Rose. She takes it with a shaky hand. She takes a step up to Kyeem and carves a PR below my Q. When she steps back she almost drops the knife. Jewel catches it and steps to her brother. She carves a PE below the PR. He is already breathing hard, and we haven't even really started.

I walk to the table and pick up the gardening shears. Stepping towards him, I grab one finger and in one swift move cut it off. Blood sprays and covers my face. I don't wipe it away. I just move to the next and keep cutting, until all of his fingers are gone. I hear someone throw up, Rose I am sure. Jade comes to my side holding the nut crusher. I smiled and nodded, stepping away. She did miss out on this last time. Placing one of his balls into the crusher, she squeezes and there is a satisfying crunching sound throughout the warehouse. Jewel steps up beside Jade, "May I?" she asks. Jade hands her the ball crusher and she crushes his remaining one. A satisfied look on her face.

I hear Rose throw up again. I quietly walked over to her and took her hand, guilding her to the table. "All we ask is you do one thing. You made your mark now take back what he stole in the meeting," I said to her.

She picks up a pair of needle nose pliers and I watch her with great interest as she steps up to him. She grabs his head, placing the pliers at his eyes, she rips out his eyelashes on one side followed by the ones on the other. I had never thought about using them for that. I will have to remember that one. She steps back and looks at him dead square in the eyes, blood draining from where the pliers had ripped off some of his skin. "I don't cry for puke like you," she says in a strong voice.

I nod approvingly and turn back to the man standing before me, barely breathing. "Know that we take great pleasure in your pain. And as one final insult," I took the hunting knife I had grabbed off the table and in one swift move cut his p***s off. The echos of his scream filled the warehouse. The last thing I do is hand a pair of gloves to Jewel and nod to the gun. She puts on the gloves and picks up the gun. Placing it against the back of his head, execution style, she pulls the trigger and his brain comes flying out the front of his head. Splattering on the ground in front of him. Somewhere in the warehouse, Rose throws up again.
