"We're taking my car", Laura said taking heading over to her car.

We got in and the door closed.

"Does she know... about us?", Own asked.

I took the cigarette from Laura because she was about to start driving.

I took in a lot and released it

"Nope", I said casually.

"Dude... that's bad", he said again.

"I know", I said.

"You have to tell her", he said.

"I will, for real but... she's going to take a lot of time to process it", he said.

"Process what exactly? Don you and I know that your princess cannot handle any shit we do, she's probably the type of girl that's gonna cry and tell her daddy and they're going to advice her to do the right thing which is to run away or out us out to the police", Laura said.

"Ivy wouldn't do that, I know her", I said.

"You know her?? what exactly do you know about this girl ?", she asked.

"Dude how did you meet her?", Owen asked.

"In a strip club, a fucken one night stand, somehow she was able to find him and she's asking for money to take care of the baby, a typical set up that he's not seeing ", Laura said.

I groaned.

Fuck this girl.

"Dude, is that true?",Owen asked.

"Yeahh".

"C'mon man you know I'd always support you, but this shit is crazy, you're marrying your one night stand seriously? does your dad know?"

"Listen Owen, nobody knows except us and Ben and that is where it's ending, I don't give a fuck if she's a a gold digger or whatever, she has my child, dad wants me to have a family, it's perfect, everything can go back to normal after dad dies", I said really getting pissed..

"Luther..", Laura began.

"Don't fucken call me, till you die", I raged.

She swallowed hard, "I'm sorry".

"Now please, don't say a word till we get to where we're going, focus on the road", I said in an end of discussion tone.

The ride was quiet, very very.

She pulled up in front of his house.

She got her phone and made a call. and put it on speaker.

"Where are you?", she said.

"I've seen your car, I'm coming", then seconds later, a man in a black hoodie came and sat at the front seat with Laura.

"Where are they?", she asked.

"They're inside, they're having dinner now", he said.

"Street Cameras?"

"Already disabled"

"What of the inside security?", she asked again.

"They've been drugged to sleep, all of them".

"What of the Camera in their house?", she asked.

"All disabled", he said.

"So we can go in?", she asked.

"Yes boss", he said.

She pulled out a stack of cash, "Here's an extra tip, thank you", she said and be left the car.

"That was really smooth Laura", I said.

"I'm sure your fiancee can't pull half of it", she said and left the car with her gun.

I rolled my eyes, drama queen.

I got out with Owen and we marched into their house.

Laura pushed the door open, they screamed.

"Awwn, family dinners are my favorite", Laura said with sarcasm.

Mr Hampton, his wife and two kids were at the table with their maid, they all looked terrified.

"How the fuck did you get into my house?", he shouted.

"Why weren't you in our meeting today?", Owen asked.

"I... I..."

"You know it's disrespectful when your elders call for you and you ignore them", Laura said.

"Where are the documents you were asked to sign?", Owen asked calmly.

"I didn't sign it, my company said no that they don't want the Cowper family involved", he said shaking.

"Why not?", Laura asked.

"They don't want to get involved with society", he said.

"Well that's too bad because you're in society, and you work with them so they are already involved", Owen said..

"They... they don't know I'm in, it'll ruin my entire career ", he cried.

"I.. I want out!", he said.

"Out of what?", Laura asked.

"Society, Mafia, everything, I'm tired, I don't want to do this anymore ", he begged.

I gave a short laugh and walked up to him.

"Hampton ", I called calmly.

"Don", he said and fell on his knees.

"Have you ever seen or heard someone leave society alive?", I asked.

He shook his head.

"Do you want to die?", I asked.

"noo", he cried.

I handed him a document, "Sign it so we can get out of here ", I said.

"I can't ", he cried.

My gun clicked and I shot his Maid dead. His wife shrieked.

"Cover your children's eyes, it's traumatizing.

", Laura said.

"Do you know why I shot her?", I asked.

"Because I don't kill children, instead, I'll wait till they become adults then come for them, and I couldn't hurt your wife because I know what I felt like living without my mother, not recommended. But I can make everything easy for you and kill them all, that way no one is left out ", I was very calm about it.

"Now, sign it and we'll go home happily and you can attempt leaving society for all I care ", I said.

With shaky hands he picked up the pen and signed, everywhere.

His wife was crying, covering her children's eyes, staring at the maids body.

"Here", he said handing it over to me.

I gave it to Owen.

"Do the photocopies and send me the original ", I said.

He nodded.

"Listen Hampton, I'm just going to say this, you knew what it meant joining society, you knew you had a family, and you know the pressure it was going to get you into, but you wanted the money and power that you forget the reality that it's going to be bloody here. If you try to run away, they'll find you and they'll use your weakness against you, your family, so I don't know what you're thinking, but if you don't want to die, just do whatever it is they tell you to do and try not to loose everything ", I said headed towards the door.

"Have a good night Mr Hampton ", I said leaving him on the floor shaking in fear.
