Evolution: The beginning of a new era

Tragedy strikes again

Sam had sent the party invitation of Maxim's birthday being held at the villa during the weekend. Emerlda knew Burns had taken her warning lightly, she said, "I need to get back to America." Sam closed the study room, "We just buried Luka, shouldn't you be mourning?" Emerlda looking at Sam replied, "I need to resolve this matter before it gets out of hand…" "What is more important than Maxim's birthday? I was hoping we throw a party this weekend to cheer him up. He seem shaken by Luka's death." Sam was now kissing Emerlda's neck teasing her. Emerlda removing Sam's jacket said, "You are growing on me, I…like it." Sam and Emerlda had wild steamy s*x in the study room, in the middle of their romantic moment Maxim knocked, "Mother, could l have a word with you." Emerlda with a smile of shame on her face replied, "I will meet you downstairs in a bit." Maxim as an obedient child sat on a couch waiting for his mother. Sam grabbed Emerlda's hand when he tried to escape, after several minutes she joined Maxim downstairs. Maxim had a tendency of biting his nails when he was nervous, Emerlda holding his left hand asked, "What is making my boy nervous?" Maxim with teary eyes busted out in tears, "I saw the news, I am scared this bad people will hurt my mama. Lately l have these weird dreams." Hugging Maxim close to her hart replied, "Mama will protect herself and her little prince, how about we cheer for the upcoming birthday party. I bought a gift you always wanted." Maxim's eyes quickly brightened, he rushed upstairs to take a bath before dinner. At dinner table an enthusiastic Maxim was describing to Sam his vision of a party, "Uncle Sam, I need a parking spot for my new car. I will be driving it myself…no one is allowed to touch my steering wheel. Right Mama?" Emerlda agreed to every request his son made, Sam was wearing a ring Emerlda gave to him. Her heart melted as she looked at Maxim and Sam, so this is what a family felt like? The warmth and friendly environment, at last she had accomplished what her father and mother failed. Daniel was assigned to keep an eye on Burns and his crew until the weekend was over.

Burns was sweating at every second that passed by, he kept glancing at the clock watch hanging on the walls of his office. Roy was infuriated with Burns decision, but the pack had to quickly patch up broken bonds in order to live. They moved their families into safe houses, to protect them if the situation becomes bad. Tim and Bob were fully supporting Buns decision to save their asses, they gathered with just an hour left till the deadline Emerlda gave them. Burns and the crew gathered at the warehouse, Roy had a loaded silencer riffle, "This is an opportunity for us to attack. Maybe we can launch rockets to attack her plane for we h****k it…" "Don't be ridiculous." Burns had soggy baggy eyes, Roy pointed a gun at Burns head, "This is all your f*****g fault, your greed for easy money has gotten us into this mess! Now we are like a bunch of little kids waiting to be punished…living in fear of a bitch." Burns looking straight in Roy's eyes replied, "When the mission were smooth your mouth was shut. I didn't raid the b***h myself and certainly didn't wish for all this to turn haywire! If you aren't going to help shut your mouth and sit your ass down." Gritting his teeth, Roy sat on his seat, Bob handed Burns a file, "I have a friend who can help us, she needs a cut on the honey bar. At this rate she is our better option." Tim looking at his tablet said, "A party is being held at her villa to celebrate her son's tenth birthday. Big names are attending the party, she is quite important." Burns starring at Tim responded, "As a gang boss and the President of an elite company of course she is important. The security will be tight, so we need a long-range killer." Tim examining the area handed Bob the tablet, "Luckily the woods are ten kilometres from the house, and the view is quiet clear. If we f**k this up, this will be our one-way ticket to hell." Burns looking at his team said, "I have sacrificed enough to be here…" "f**k you, you sacrificed Neil and Steve. Don't take any credit whilst your ass is roaming around!" Roy yelled at Burns; Bob held Burns from hitting Roy. Roy kept blabbering his mouth, Bob said, "We have one common enemy, let us focus on this Borstov and then settle our difference."

Maxim's birthday party was filled with Russian chaebols and gang leaders, for a day of preparation Sam had done an outstanding job. Emerlda tapping her glass, raised her wine glass, "Today we are gathered to celebrate the life of my one and only son, Maxim Borstov. I wish you a happy birthday my little Prince, cheers!" Emerlda bent down to give Maxim a kiss on the cheeks, looking at the crowd she said, "The fate of Evolution lies in your hands my son. To Maxim and Evolution!" Everybody echoed the room as they repeated the same sentence. Everyone sang a birthday son for Maxim, a large cake was brought in. Emerlda had double the rate of guards, hosting a party was risking his son and Sam's life. Emerlda blindfolded Maxim as he escorted him outside for his massive present, the other kids gasped as they saw the car. Before Emerlda opened Maxim's blindfold she felt a sharp pain through her chest, when she touched the area, she saw blood on her hands. Sam caught her head before she hit the ground, everyone rushed inside, Sam shouted, "Search the woods! Get the cars ready!" Maxim with a horrified look on his face shouted, "Mama!" The sniper shot straight through one fuel tank with a bomb, one after the other the cars exploded. The sniper looking at his time said, "I was expecting so much from you Devilish Angel. This was too easy; a queen always sinks with her castle." Sam tried to stop the bleeding; Maxim was quickly taken to his room. One after the other the sniper shot bombs at Emerlda's house trapping everyone inside, this person's intent was to kill. After a personal satisfaction the person dialled a number on a burner phone with a female voice she said, "The task is complete." Sam managed to rescue Maxim and Emerlda, their condition were critical. Emerlda during the explosion lost both her leg hand and leg. When the ambulance arrived, they quickly assisted the two surviving humans who were lying under a tree at the backyard. The whole villa crumbled on the ground; no bodies were recovered as they were all burnt down to ashes.
