The members of the City Council gathered at their hidden hall, in the outskirts of Olympia city .
Noone would ever think there is any sort of building around that area.
But that was where Don Draco and his men had their secret meetings .
Draco , who lived in Seattle, with other members arrived later in the day. While others who didn't live in Washington, received the broadcast audio of their meeting via Airdrop .
"This meeting has been scheduled to be held today for some vital reasons. First is concerning our next movement with the Mexican client. Juan sent a threat and since then, he's been lying low . But I do not think he's probably relaxing, so we should get to work. " Draco started.
Jeremy and Kevin stood at the main gate of the calm premises. Of course, no one would enter the place ,but they were just there for formality sake. Evans, the driver waited in the car.
"Second , is to announce that my son's betrothed has been brought home, forcefully of course. Ray is the heir as you all know and if he doesn't get married as soon as possible, our mafia would face the risk of being shortlisted.
An heir is the strength of every mafia. Juan's son is married already and that's probably why he thinks he has more authority than us. "
One of the members, Dominic spoke;
"That's a good idea, Don. It is equally your responsibility to make sure Ray gets married before the next mafia season. "
"Of course. Now the next agenda is concerning Don Juan and the entire Headers. We need to send a warning this once. The Mexican client is trying to back out as he seems aware of the impending clash between us, but I won't let that happen. That deal must be sealed and delivered by us, the city council. "
"Sure Don " Reginald , the calm but most evil after Draco said next.
There was a minute of silence as every one of them thought of a suggestion concerning the matter at hand.
That deal was more important to them than the money. It would help them gain more power outside of the US and navigate smoothly through the laws .
"An Idea, Don. " Mr Liam , another member, sat up to speak.
Draco motioned for him to speak.
"A letter bomb . We can send a Molotov cocktail in a letter. "
"No! " Reginald disagreed immediately.
"They didn't send a harmful threat. According to Don, they sent a gun and bloodstained dollars. We can't send a bomb first. "
"Time - delayed bombs aren't so dangerous, Reginald " Juris , another member, seconded Liam.
"Well, I suggest a rifle. For all I know, we have more weapons than the Headers. A rifle and a rubber bullet. " Dominic suggested.
"With a picture of him, containing the rubber bullet " Reginald smirked.
That was a perfect idea!
Draco gave a wicked smile.
"I'll go with Dominic's idea. We'll send it by tomorrow through Jeremy ".
Everyone clapped at the Don's plan.
"I need to contact Mr Diego. I have another sweet offer for him. " Draco smiled at his phone.
Mr Diego was the name of the Mexican client.
He was one of the members of a powerful mafia in Mexico as well.
Every member of the City Council arose, bowed to Draco and left , except for Reginald.
"I want to get a list of our next plans. The Headers seem to be ready for war this time. " he said to Reginald.
"Send them via Airdrop as soon as possible. And oh, I'm ready to spill blood as well " he grinned widely and left the hall.
Getting to his Bugatti, Evans opened the backdoor and he entered alongside Jeremy and Kevin.
They were supposed to move to Draco's warehouse, where he stored arms and contraband.
As soon as Draco got a message from Frank, he changed the idea of going to the warehouse.
"To the villa, Evans " .

I gradually tried to open my eyes. For sure , I knew I wasn't lying down on a bed , because my back ached.
I finally opened my eyes but still couldn't see clearly. I tried to use my hands and at least rub my eyes, but it seemed my hands were tied.
The thought of that made me forcefully open my eyes as I recalled how I was abducted by unknown people.
I glanced around and noticed I was in an empty room ; no furniture, no appliances at all , only casement windows that were slightly open for ventilation purposes.
I finally caught sight of two men who turned their back on me.
"You! Why did you bring me here? What have I done to you?" I yelled, shedding tears already .
One of them turned and I recognized him to be the one that dragged me into the car.
"What do you want from a young lady like me ? Who sent you?" I screamed again and the second man turned and walked towards me.
I got scared immediately.
He bent to my level, while the other guy handed over a cigarette to him.
Puffing the smoke into my face, his coarse voice came next;
"I sent them , dear Lorna ".
I recognized that voice immediately, the voice that made my mom scared.
"Mr Draco " I stuttered, tears choking me already because what I dreaded the most had come to pass. What my mother and I were fighting and working against!
"It's Don Draco. I needed to fulfill my promise as you and your mother didn't bring my money yesterday. Did you forget ? " he said, puffing another smoke to my face.
I coughed and cried as I realized that the previous day was the deadline for us to send the money, which we haven't even gotten.
"And from today, I will become your father-in-law.
You need to stop crying already. My son wouldn't like a whimpering lady for a wife "
Father-in-law, my son, Wife....were all I heard before I fell into a total blackout.
