Chapter 1
It started on a quiet night, 8 years ago, a family sitting having a meal together, a mother sienna aged 30 and father Jacob aged 32 in a loving embrace, a brother Silas aged 14 and sister Jenifer 10 joking and laughing when the silence was broken with a loud pop, and another, and another, the once quite room now filled with gunfire. The mother still on her chair unmoving, the father on the floor with his son in his arms against the floor, the daughter crying for her mother.
Jacob lifted his wounded son of the ground and grabs his daughter and rushed them into the car at the back of the house, banging started at the front door as they were running through the house, as they got to the car the door burst open and men dressed in black came running in with all different guns ready for war. Jacob placed his son in the back and then fastened his daughter up, got in the car and as he was pulling away the men came running out shooting at the car, jacob drove as fast as he could and was able to get away before the men were able to follow in there vehicles.
Jacob pulled upto the hospital, Silas was taken into surgery with a bullet wound in his stomach, the police were called to the murder of sienna , Jacob had no idea why someone would do this and swore he would get revenge for the murder of his wife and attempted murder of his son.
8 years later
Jacobs point of view
It’s been 8 years since sienna was killed and I’ve came close to finding them but they always slip through my fingers, I still don’t know why they killed her, the organisation wasn’t built or made till after there attempt to kill me and my family. Silas survived, but he is as consumed with vengeance as I am, Jenifer, Jenifer blames me, blames me for not being able to save her mother, for not finding the murderers yet. I will find them, even if it’s the last thing I do.
In my pursuit of finding the killers I have made some mistakes, it was about 4 years ago, I can’t get it out of my head and can’t rid guilt I feel. We followed a lead and it led us to a small town, we were told by our spies in different organisations that the one that called the hit was in a house at the end the of town with an old oak tree outside, when we got there we wasted no time in shooting the place up like he ordered for me. When we got inside my heart clenched and guilt flashed through mine and all of my men’s eyes. It was a family cuddling in a couch, the father trying to protect his daughters. The mother on the floor next to the couch. Looks like she was bringing popcorn from the kitchen. As I looked around I realised this man was well respected, was a high ranking police officer, the mother a school teacher, the girls, one looked to be a few years younger than my daughter maybe 8 and the other the same age as my son the youngest girl was dead cuddled up next to her father, the eldest daughter on the other side of the couch laying lifelessly, as I was lost in thought feeling guilt I had just killed an innocent family and my men were on guard and looking around.
A cough broke the silent room, it came from the eldest daughter, SHE WAS STILL ALIVE, we rushed her to a hospital and laid her outside the doors as not to be spotted, we seen doctors and nurses run out and take her inside, I heard a few weeks later she had made it and was going into a foster home. I tried to find her, see if I could take her in without telling her my involvement and give her a good life that she would’ve had if I hadn’t taken it from her but I’ve had no such luck, anyone I spoke to said they couldn’t give me any information on her where abouts just that she’s in a foster home in my city, but wouldn’t tell me where.
It’s been 4 years and I still can’t find the girls where abouts, all I have is her name, scarlet Whitlock.
Silas pov
It’s been 8 years since my mother was murdered, my dad started up a criminal organisation but he refuses to call it that. We’ve hunted for my mothers killers but had no luck. I’ve mostly either drunk and partied, or hook up with random girls or beat the s**t out of people for my dad and who disrespects me. I’m well known In This city and everyone fears or respects me. Tonight me and my boys jack, Sean and Lucas are going to a club in the city tonight, hopefully get some piece of ass. jacks a buzz kill since his fiancé Megan got pregnant, Sean doesn’t no when to call it quits, I worry sometimes when he’s with girls, I’ve heard some people say that he sometimes gets to rough, I’ve never seen this with him but if I do I’ll put a stop to it, he’s a good guy and I doubt he’s done these things. Lucas is my best friend, he’s been there with me since before my mother died, when I take over my dads organisation he’ll be there with me as my second in command.
A few hours later we’re ready in our way into the city, my sister Jenifer is coming along with her friends, Sarah and Jessica. Sarah’s had a crush on me forever, always throwing herself at me when she gets a chance, Jessica though, she’s quiet and hardly speaks when I’m around.
We’re taking 2 cars, with us jacks driving and so is Jessica, I don’t care who drives as long as it’s not me. Twenty minutes later and we arrive at the club, it’s called blacks bar, it’s got both male and female strippers, drinks cheap and they have me on vip access. When we get in we’re seated in a corner booth and drinks are brought to us instantly, this place is my favourite club.
