“So, what do you suggest?”
“Lo you’re not actually considering this shit are you? We made sure this place was locked, there’s no one getting in here.”
“I hear you Dev, but that was all good and well when it was just us, but now we have five women, four of them pregnant and the baby. I’m not willing to take the chance. What did you have in mind Mancini?”
“I have a place picked out already.” There was a shift in the room. We’d always only trusted each other and the old man. What he was asking us to do went against everything we believed in.
Whatever he was, whoever he was, he was good because he read us without a word being said. “It’s too late to start second guessing whether or not you can trust me boys. Start getting your women together and let’s get the fuck outta here. Think about this, they already know where you are, and believe me, unless you want to find yourself in a Waco situation, you’ll leave now. Unless of course you’re not going through with your plan.”
That shit was a lot to take in. I don’t think any of us had ever thought of this. Lyon and the others were supposed to be coming here since our place was more secure and the shit started here. Law hadn’t had time to get his shit together since he’d been busy hunting down the fuck that had killed his family, and Lyon though he had good security lived in a residential area with too many people around. Anything jumped off there were too many variables to think about.
Since I was the one running this particular show, my brothers were all looking at me, but they know I would never make that play lightly. I studied the man as I went through all that we had learned thus far about him.
Lyon had been the one to bring him in, though he’d gotten his name from a fucking mobster. For all that, there’s something about Colton Lyon that demands loyalty and respect, the guy’s as true as anyone I’ve ever met outside of my brothers.
“Be true, never betray your brother because he will never betray you.” My words were meant for Mancini since my brothers and I already lived by that creed.
“The way of the warrior, Marcus Aurelius.” I knew he was a smart fuck for all that he’s a well-dressed thug. “Okay, brothers we are. Now let’s get a move on before Lyon goes on a rampage and fuck everything up before we get started.”
“If we do this we can’t leave today, we have a few things to take care of first. We’re gonna need a couple days at the least.” I don’t know why but I trusted him. Besides, if he made the wrong move I’d end him before he blinked.
“So you will come?” He posed the question to all of us.
“Well Cord, you’re calling this one, what do you think?” Lo asked and I looked around at the others.
I nodded at my brothers but I could see that they were already on board. “I’m guessing this place of yours is top secret and there’s no point in us asking where?”
“You’ll know soon enough. Let’s make the calls.” If last night hadn’t happened I would’ve given this some time, but I was sure that if I was wrong in trusting him, that my brothers wouldn’t back my play if they didn’t agree. I was also very sure that I could protect my family if it came to that.
I would threaten him, but I was sure it wouldn’t make a difference; he’s like us. I’m banking on that. Ty on the other hand isn’t too shy about making his feelings known. “You fuck us over Mancini I will take you out with my last breath.”
“You can try, but it wouldn’t come to that. I pride myself on my honor and integrity. I live by a code, same as you do, and I take that shit very seriously.”
Each man took his measure but it was Connor’s nod that sealed the deal. “Okay, then let’s get this shit started.” Con started for the door. He’d be thinking about his woman and unborn kid and how to make the move as effortless for them as possible. From the sounds of it, this was going to be more than a weekend trip. Shit!
“Wait, if they went after Lyon already what’s to stop them from coming at him again? And what about Law and Creed? We kinda got them involved with this we can’t just run off and leave them to face the fire.” I couldn’t get behind that shit. Everyone was set to come here in the next few weeks or so, but a lot had changed since we made those plans and they were gonna have to pack their whole families up for an extended vacation.
“I’m way ahead of you.” Mancini smiled.
“I’d like to be there when you tell Lyon he has to uproot his family and go into hiding.”
“I’ve got that covered too.” He held up a finger and got busy on his phone again.
“Hey uncle Mal how’s it going?” He was a split personality or some shit the way he went from spy or whatever the fuck he was to somebody’s nephew. “I need a solid. I need you to put a bug in your boy Lyon’s ear.”
“What about?” He gave whoever was on the other end a condensed version of what was going on and pressed him to get Lyon on board. “He’ll come. How’s my baby sister?”
“You mean the tyrant? She’s fine why don’t you go see her, she’d love it.”
“Your pain in the ass old man already called and ordered me to New York. No respect.”
“He probably needs someone to run herd on her for a few days, give himself a break.” Ty was about ready to blow his shit at Mancini’s little family hour, but funnily enough I was more relaxed now that we were making strides.
“I’ll wait to hear from you. I’m not looking forward to heading out that way to drag his ass in.”
“I’d pay good money to see that. Is my son in any danger over this shit?”
“I don’t think so, his involvement was minimal at best.”
