                                                                   Marcellus

Dammit!  They got through the gates, so that means my guards are all dead! Fuck!

I look down at Jamie huddled on the floor, and spot her mother, and run over to her quickly, not wanting to waste another second. Roman looks like he is playing it smart, and making them fall back from this area, along with my men backing him up. I would just take her and run, but I cannot abandon my men like that. Gunshots are being fired left and right out there, and I won’t let them fight without me. 

 “You need to take Jamie, and  get her out of here! I will come and find you guys, and don’t even think about taking her away from me! I WILL find her, no matter where you take her, remember that.” I tell her in warning to her mother, not wanting her to get any bright ideas. I don’t even give her a chance to respond to me. This part of the house is now empty of any men, and I need to get to them before it’s too late. 

 As soon as I reach the foyer, the front door is wide open, my walls and windows have all been hit, and shattered by constant gun fire . Angelo,and Luca are both on each side  of the door frame, ducking and covering, and taking shots at my father's men, while they use all the vehicles outside as their cover. 

 “Are the rest of the men outside?” I say as I run over to Angelo’s side quickly trying not to get shot through the open door frame. 

 “Yeah, Roman, and his men ran them out, they barely even got in here,  I don’t think your father was aware of the meeting with the Russians. I don’t know what your sister told them but it wasn’t good info.” She wouldn’t have known that I was meeting with Roman, she was never around during my meetings, so there's no way she had a lot of information to give, but the point is she gave him something. 

With my back against the door I peak my head out to get a good look at what’s going on. But I see a head pop from behind one of the parked vehicles in the driveway, I immediately move back into cover right at the time the other onlooker takes his shot at my exposed head. I have to admit, his bullet would have been spot on if I wouldn't have reacted quickly enough. 

  “We need to get rid of these men in the driveway so we can  help the  others, there is a lot of gunfire going out there!” 

 “Who the fuck are you barking orders at Luca? Where’s Mario?”  

How fucking dare he tell me to abandon my men.. He’s lucky I don’t kill him where he stands, no one gives me orders! 

Luca huffs in frustration, and gets out of cover to take some shots at the men  firing at us. 

 “He’s down in the basement, he has Greg.” Angelo yells through the gunfire. Greg had to have had a part in this, I just know it. Looks like I  finally have a good reason to get rid of him.He will die for betraying me, and this time Jamie won’t stop me from killing him. As for my sister, I have no idea what I am  going to do about her.  She’s so young and has only ever wanted to prove to father that she could be useful to this family other than to be married off, or sold like a cow to his enemies. I can’t hate her for doing this, but I am downright furious! And I will never be able to trust her again...

“We  got them! We will go help Roman, and the rest of our men! You go question Greg with Mario, we really don’t need to worry about you being in open gunfire Marcel! There aren't a whole lot of them anyways. This will be a fucking cake walk. Let me do my job Marcel, you’re the boss! We’re  the soldiers. It is an honor to  protect the capo!” 

 “Again!  You don’t give the orders around here! Mario has it handled I’m sure. Let’s go!” I yell at him, losing my patience.  I start to walk out the door stealthily, and with my gun at the ready,  just as I am about to exit the door, I suddenly feel meatal slam into the back of my head, and everything abruptly goes from daylight to  black as midnight. The last thing I hear is………..

“It won’t knock him out for long! Let’s hurry up and get this over with!”

 I jerk awake to the feeling of water being splashed on my face, my whole body practically launches from the ground in a fright, making whoever is standing around me back away in fear. 

It takes me a minute to realize where I am and what is going on, but then it hits me! The attack! Someone hit me in the back of the head! And Jamie? Is she okay? Did she get out okay? 

 “What the fuck happened? Where is Jamie? Who hit me?” I ask, getting on my feet. Luca, Mario, Alessandro, and Angelo are standing around me with their guns still at their sides but obviously not in a defensive manner, so that must mean they got rid of my father. 

But they fucking disobeyed me.

“I hit you boss…” Angelo admits with no fear, I run up on him immediately, grabbing his collar, and slamming him into the wall by the stairs, in the foyer. 

 “You hit me huh? What makes you think you can hit me and get away with it? Why shouldn’t I kill you right now Angelo?” I demand with my face so close to his I can see droplets of my saliva running down his chin. 

 “I did it to protect you, it was for your own good! You weren’t even out that long, it was easy! We got them all, everyone is dead! We just need to go find your fiance.” I release him immediately realizing I need to find her. Her mom probably took her to safety by now, but I should check the backroom before I assume that she is already gone. 

God  dammit, she better be okay, I hope Mia is okay too. 

 “Has anyone seen Mia around?” I ask as I start storming quickly down the hall, leaving them to follow me , and then…..  I suddenly stop dead in my tracks when  I almost stumble over a limp body...I start to cuss and kick it away until I seee who it is…. I jolt back in horror, and grit my teeth at the sight of my baby sister's body laying face first in a pool of her own blood, her blood still seeping from the bullet wound in the back of her head. 

“Who did this?” I say, turning to look behind me at my men, waiting for them to give me an answer. My voice sounds so far away, all I can hear is the cries of  rage screaming in my head. Who would do this to her ? She might have betrayed me, but she was just a kid, a young girl who wanted to be loved by her father. She may have not seemed that way but she was just so confused, who ever did this will fucking pay with blood.

 “Capo, we don’t know we don’t even remember seeing her go through the door. We have Greg in the cells, he might know something.” Mario said to me.

 “Or maybe they know something.”  Luca chimes in, nodding his head in front of us. I turn back around to find Roman, and his men, along with  Jamie standing there way too close to Roman for my liking. They are all crowding around what seems to be another body on the ground. I couldn’t tell who because there were too many people surrounding it. Jamie's eyes looked different, blank even, a look I know all too well, a look used to mask pain. 

  “I killed her Marcel!” She says to me, awaking me from my cold stare at her shoulder brushing Roman’s.

What is she talking about? There has to be some type of explanation, it must have been an accident, there’s no way Jamie would do something like that. 

  “Jamie what-” I say  as I come closer to her but she yells at me to stop, so I do, and for the first time in my life I’m terrified. But only terrified at what she’s about to say 

                 “Marcel I killed her! I killed Mia! And she deserved it, she killed my mother, and then nearly my brother. I shot her Marcel, she is dead because of me.” She has no tears of regret, her voice doesn’t shake, or falter, Jamie killed my sister, and has absolutely no remorse for it. After everything I fucking did for her…..

 “You mean even after I spared your brother for trying to kill me! She was just a child!” I yell at her in a rage, my heart is burning with hatred for her, just the look of her disgusts me! I want to rip her limb from limb, and listen to her suffering cries! I want her to feel the pain that she has caused me. 

“You will pay for this...you all will pay for this.!” 

 “Marcel please!” She cries, and then Roman has the nerve to pull her back from me. How dare he touch what is mine to destroy! How fucking dare he intervene like he is her savior! I am her savior, and I am her downfall, and that is how it will always be! He can’t hide her from me !

 “Let us go Marcel! Live to fight another day in respect to our dead!” Roman interrupts my thoughts, making my blood boil even more. But even through all my hatred, and rage. I can’t deny that my sister doesn't deserve another second of not being put to rest.               

“Make no mistake Roman! Jamie is mine! I will find her, and she will will pay for what she has done today , and anyone that  stands in my way will pay the consequences along with her.  You have five minutes to get your men, and her off of my property, or I will make sure to kill you all this  very second..” I don’t see Jamie anywhere anymore, all I see is the crowd of men spilling through the backdoor, along with the dead body who I am guessing is Jamie’s mother wrapped in a white sheet. Roman took my warning seriously, and he is already scrambling out the back door as well. 

“You're Letting her go?” Angelo asks me walking up close behind me. 

   “No. I told her I would never let her go, and I meant it. I’m going to find her one day, and she will get whats coming for her.” I answer him, 

  “Angelo, you will address me as your Capo.” I tell him harshly. I feel him lingering behind for a bit longer, and then sigh in defeat at my answer. He steps back from me without another word. 

“So what now Capo?” Mario asks me, sounding a little too mocking but I ignore it. 

“We find my father, and we kill him first. It’s time to officially claim the head of this family."
