2 ( Calder)

"She went all out didn't she boss" Zane asks as we pull up outside the hotel Sandra has booked for the weekend.

"She did" I agree with a hard sigh "Have a team sweep the top floor and make sure there's no unexpected guests, have them pay the manager to keep the floor vacant and off limits to any and all staff" he like always gives me a short nod and gets out of the car signaling for the guys in the next car to follow him.

Dropping my hood I crack my neck with a groan and take a deep breath to try and relax "It's been awhile Col" Timothy my most trusted man and closest friend says drawing a small chuckle from somewhere deep within me.

"That it has old man, but after this I can comeback and with a vengeance because she, she is just the beginning"

"Cal why did you wait so long to do this" his question is a valid one and the only answer I can give is fear and grief. Fear of losing myself to this world of blood and grief for losing my soul reason for living and grief from losing myself, because a huge part of myself died with her, but all I tell him is "I needed her, them to feel as if I had moved on and they were safe. I wanted these murderers to feel like they weren't being hunted. I wanted them to have a false sense of security" I've know Tim for decades now and can tell he's about to pull his wise old man act and give me his unwanted advice.

"Well all I can say is this is a long time coming Col and sometimes shit like this can mess with your judgement"

"Tim if I needed fatherly advice I'd dig mine up" tight lipped and with a shack of his head he turns around and slightly chuckles saying under his breath how I just sounded like my old man.

The day Jazmin started middle school was the day we moved to the country estate and I stayed out of the public eye and kept my identity a secret for outsiders. At the time my father thought I was acting insane and he was worried for my sanity. Shit a mafia boss in hiding from the world isn't something unheard of but a boss who hides his face behind hoods and stays in the shadows is.

Jazmin hated the life we lived and was against what I did, what our families line of work is but she accepted it and trained as she was told. I only wish that I had thought her more maybe just maybe she would have been able to fight back.

"Penthouse one and three are cleared out and we were able to set up cameras in penthouse two, Sandra and her guests were checking in as we were leaving" Casey says sliding into the seat next to me and just stares making me both uncomfortable and angry.

"What the fuck are you looking at"

"Nothing boss man it's just good to actually see that ugly mug of yours" he chuckles holding his hands up in surrender when I pull out my gun and click the safety off.

"Easy Calder I'm the best hacker you got" 

"Yeah and if you weren't you would have been dead years ago" he winces knowing I'm right.

Four years ago we found a peck in our system and found the rat was one of my hackers, Casey was on exterior patrol as a tower guard and his talent for getting into trouble with government was going to waste. He himself set out to fix the system breach and found the rat all from his post, after that he was moved into as he calls it layer and has done very well for himself, that is until two years ago he made the mistake of bringing some slag back from a bar and she had a kill code she tried to use to bug our system and bring down the motion sensors and security systems for our warehouses.

I wanted to kill him for the mistake but Zane wouldn't let me so he was tossed in a cell for a month and docked six months pay, shit I'd be on my best behavior to if I lost half a million a month for six months.

"Oh did you see the way that girl at the restaurant kept looking at me" I hear her voice come through the tablets speaker bring me back to the task at hand.

"Set up a few men around the club and give them the freedom to get close to her and her friends. Also call Davon and ask him to send over a few girls we don't know what they'll be into, we need to get at least one man or women in that group" 

We can get in with out having an inside man or women but I need to try and get her alone I don't want to take the risk of getting someone innocent involved in my revenge, and I need to try and get the identity of her last guest to make sure she wasn't one of the people involved in my daughters murder.

"Have you heard from Lane she's never late" comes another female voice and I'm assuming it's Hannah.

"She's been acting all weird the last few days and it's starting to get on my last nerve" comes Sandra's voice in the distance "I already told her to fucking stop being a little bitch, I mean yeah I was apart of it but it was Drew and his friends that killed her" the other girl laughs and agrees with Sandra.

A door opening and closing can be heard then the sound of high heels on the marble floor echo through the hall followed by the ding of an elevator.

"Move to the next location" I instructed though the ear piece and we all move out.
