The Comeback Of The Sole Heir

Be my cohort

Madison

I clenched my fist in anger as i alighted from the limo, my goons surrounded me as i walked into the hotel. Rogers killed my son and had somehow managed to escape for the past 8 months, but today it was going to end. How i wish Rutherford was with me. But I have to make sure that they never find out about Rutherford as he is my hope of ending all these problems.

“At last the long awaited Madison is here.” Rogers had a slick smile as I walked in. As much as I wanted to reach out for his neck and strangle him so hard until he drops dead, I had to maintain my calmness. I have been trying to convince the table that I am fit to be the next head and I can't ruin my chances. 

“Gentlemen, evening.”

The Red Table meets rarely as we try as much as we could to evade all law enforcements. Till date, no one knows any member of the Red Table and we try our possible best to keep it that way.

The Red Table consists of seven members, Silverado Magana ex Head of the table, CEO of Silverado Empire. He was the only member of the table with a legal source of income. However, he sponsored most operations of the table but unfortunately, he was killed few months ago giving me the opportunity to become the head that I have always dreamt of. 

Next is Roger's Thorne, a crime boss running criminal operations in over 16 states in the US, ranging from drugs, arm deals and other activities. Yuli Tarasov, a Russian arms dealer notoriously known worldwide for trade of guns and ammunitions. 

Haru Ginjiro, leader of the an American-based Japanese Yakuza, he was the security of the Red Table using the might of his Yakuza Ninjas to defend The Red Table in its operations. Next is the Castillo Brothers - Daniel and Edward Castillo. Part Italian and part American; they were known drug lords taking over the family business and operating majorly in Spain, Italy and the United States of America although they were based in the US, dealing in all manner of drug trades in both countries and eventually began smuggling internationally. 

 Eliora Paz, the youngest and only female member of the table. Referred to as the Mexican Baroness, she solely took control of all Mexican crime operations in the United States after she had succeeded her father few years after he had died during a cross fire with Interpol. And me, a CEO of Angelina jolie's Hotels a popular place among politicians and men of high calibers because of the professional sex services of our girls.

“So why the hell did you call for this meeting Madison?” Eliora blew a ring of smoke as she dropped her legs from the table.

“To know why my son is dead.” I was trying really hard to hide my anger.

“How is that any of our business?” Yuli adjusted on his seat.

“Rogers ordered a hit on my son.”

There was tension in the air, although no one was surprised.

“Point of correction, Madison. I took out a necessary threat to the Red Table.” Roger fired.

“Necessary threat? What threat is this that the Yakuza is not aware of?” Haru seemed confused, he had not been told of any threat. “Explain in details Rog.”

“You see, Madison here has a son in the US Military, one of the best who is responsible for nearly all the busts on our operations for the last 30 years.”

Roger had a way with words and was good at twisting words to his advantage. He was sure to exaggerate issues and this was no different.

“So I have no reason not to believe that Mr. Madison here might have been leaking some of our plans or secrets to the US Military.”

Part of the rules of the Red Table is that none of the secrets or any information whatsoever was to be released to anyone regardless and any act threatening the table was treated immediately death. They couldn’t risk a traitor amongst them.

“I have done no such thing, my son has been in the army over 30 years and I’ve not laid eyes on him since then until I saw his dead corpse at his funeral service because of you Roger!”

“I only did what I did for the safety of the table. You have been making silly comments on dissolving the Red Table if we don't make you the head. How do we know your son in the army wasn’t part of your plan?”

The table began to make sense of what Roger was pointing out.

“Sorry for your son’s death, but I think I speak for the table when I say, Rog did what was best for the table. However, whether or not you were involved is still unclear but the fact that you still remain a part of the table, we might give you benefit of doubt.” Daniel finally said.

Daniel is the calmest of the group, he never made any decisions without speaking or thinking thoroughly. He was the strategist of the table. I need no prophet to tell me that Roger has won and if i press further it would be to my own peril.

I stood and left the table. Come what may, I'm not going to sit back and allow this to slide past. I slipped back into my limo, to meet the worried face of Rutherford. 

"How did it go?" He asked.

"That sly Roger managed to slip away again. Ah. I just hate him so much."

"Don't you think it's time you think about my offer?" The young man asked with furrowed brows. 

I had met him lying down almost dead in front of my house few years ago. I made to overlook but couldn't when I read a letter beside him which read thus "The son of Silverado". I quickly called my doctor who secretly treated him from the poison which was injected into him. According to the doctor, the poison was supposed to kill him in split of seconds but he managed to stay alive and that remains a mystery even till today.

"Fine. I'll help you get your revenge while you help me get mine too" I winked as he smirked mischievously at me.
