The Crimsons (House of Mafias)

Chapter 3 (Who did it?)

Shaun Crimson's POV

The excitement of what is to come was too much that I couldn't relax in my room anymore. I quickly changed into another black outfit, ready to go out for a party, and took the Bugatti centodieci's key that was on top of my table.

Not going to take chances, I took one of my pistol and tucked it behind me, in my trouser. Then I went out and hopped into my Bugatti centodieci. After ten minutes' drive, I got to the Lord's club, which belongs to Jayson. When I got out of the car, the usual happened. Everyone kept hailing me for no reason.

Could it be, because I'm Jayson's brother?

No. Maybe because I'm too hot.

I walked inside the club and hot chicks were everywhere, busy dancing to the DJ's throbbing music. I went to the bartender and requested for a little bourbon, which she was about to give me before I got obstructed by a random chick. Her blonde hair color, complimented her fair skin just the way her beauty matched her hour-glass figure.  

"Are you up for some dance, pretty boy?" She whispered into my ears but instead of giving her a reply, I was busy staring at her lips.  So fresh and red like a newly harvested tomatoes.

She asked again and I replied with a smile. Like who would miss a dance with such a pretty goddess.I abandoned the bourbon I requested for and followed the girl.It doesn't matter how I get high tonight. I'm sure her body will perform the same function as the alcohol I was about to take.

I wrapped my hands around her waist from behind and gently rock her body. I wasn't good in physics but I still remembered the first law of motion. A body remains at rest unless an external body acts on it. And I could feel her body acting on my little fella down there.The party started to get really interesting and I was feeling the effect of the dance on my little fella. 

Long live the DJ who kept blasting the club with good rocking songs. 

We were going deeper into the dance and before some things could go down, a call ruined the moment. We stopped as I pulled out my phone to see the caller. And it was Jayson.

Screw you, Jayson!

He just ruined a good moment and it was a necessity that I picked his call.

"I'm sorry pretty, I will have to take this" I excused myself from the hot chick and went outside.

" What's up Jayson?" I was literally angry behind the screen but faked a calm voice.

"Are you coming home for dinner?" 

Wait, he just ruined my moment because of dinner? Shoot me! He really needs to give me a better reason for this mess up.

"Why man? Is anything up?" I inquired.

"Yeah. We got business"

Fuck me. I totally forgot the reason I came to this party and got twisted with some hot chick.

"Alright bro. I will be home in a jiffy" I said, rushing back into the club.

The chick was still waiting for me and I didn't want to ruin her night so I went to her to inform her of my movement.

"Hey pretty, I will be leaving now" I said, giving her a friendly peck on her hand.

"You mean right now?"

"Yeah. I got something urgent to attend to" I said, already going out.

" Wait. You haven't told me your name yet"  she said.

" Shaun"

" Okay Shaun. My name is Sophia. Sophia Dawson!" she said and I nodded as I was already closed to the exit door.

"Do you mind if we exchange contact?" I barely heard her.

" Maybe next time, pretty!" I yelled as I was already far from her reach.

If fate would have it's way, we could meet again and finish what we started.I got inside my car and was driving back home but the image of the sexy chick just got glued to my mind. Remember what your ex did. A tiny voice in my head, reminded me.

Scram! I will never get twisted with any other girl. I just increased the car's acceleration and when I finally got home and went inside,  Jayson and Harry were already at the dinning room. Since I didn't drink at the club, I joined them at the table. Thanks to the hot chick.

What was her name again? 

Damn. My brain just deleted her name against my will.

Nevertheless, I still got something to keep my mood up. Which is the business Jayson spoke of. But before asking Jayson about the business, I asked Harry about his hand and he gave me the kind of reply I liked to hear.

"Less pain I guess" he said and I gave her a smile.

Jayson was the patient one so he allowed us to finish eating our dinner before calling for our attention.

"We got business to do boys" he said. 

" Coke or berries?" Harry gave him the coded question.

That was a way we communicated with each other when talking about the mafia business. Berries actually meant firearm business while Coke meant drug business.

"Coke" Jayson replied harry.

"How big?"  Curiosity laced my voice

"Very big. Big enough that it will need fifty men to guard it " Jayson replied.

Bloody cash!  For fifty men to guard just a single transaction means that it's going to get bloody but some good cash will surely fall out.

" Wow! That's a whopping sum of money, bro!" Harry yelled out in excitement. 

" Yeah. And  Jaime said that, the client will be needing it tomorrow" Jayson said.

"But tomorrow is too sudden!" Harry yelled.

" It doesn't matter. I've already called the men that will be delivering it" Jayson added.

I already knew why Harry said that. He definitely wanted to be among those who would oversee the deliveries. I wasn't trying to rub it on his face but I still got to ask him out of the dept of my love for him.

"Do you think that you can go with that?" I said, pointing to his injured hand.

" I can manage. Anything for the Crimson family."  Harry  smiled, which made all to giggle.

" Now, let's finish up boys." Jayson said, standing up to take the plates to the kitchen and we all followed him. But the usual was bound to happen. And that was, abandoning the dishes to our one and caring elder brother, Jayson. He never complained so he was cleaning the dishes while I went for the last part of my dinner. To finish the big jug of orange juice that was in the fridge and that is what I did. I slowly drank from it until it got empty and nature did to me what I hated the most.  To belch like a cow.

This got the attention of Jayson and Harry and I gave them a weird smile. In less than five minutes, Jayson was done with the dishes so Harry and I followed him to leave the kitchen. Jayson went outside to ensure that the security guards were on high alert and they were. So he came back inside and we all climbed the stairs up to our rooms.

"Good night boys."  Jayson said from his door.

"Good night bro" Harry replied first.

"Night Jayson" I said but got obstructed by Jayson.

" We need to talk" he said and I slowly followed him to his office.

How come he didn't forget about that. Like, does he has an alien's brain?

We got to his office and I sat at the chair facing him.

His glare was burning my eyes out but I still got to maintain eye contact.

"You guys have been doing something for a week now, right?" 

Should that be a question? 

Cool. You want to give me the smart ass question, right? Then, I think I should match up with your energy.

" Like what?" The level of the curiosity on my face was more than normal.

"Like deliveries" he went straight to the point, exhausting my smart ass moves.

"Yes" I stressed.

"Why?"

Z

"I just wanted to help out" my sincerity made him to sigh.

" You know Shaun, I'm your elder brother and it's my responsibility to play my role. You don't need to be indebted to me, okay?" His sincerity was on another degree that I almost tear up.His sincerity is the most tormenting part of our discussion. Now he just got my heart weakened.

"You don't need to also think about the incident that happened earlier, okay? I have settled the police" he got me again and I nodded.

But I was still very curious that I asked " who is that brainaic that actually discovered it?"

" She's a new recruit and her name is violent Harlin. You don't need to worry yourself about her. Because, she won't be interfering again"

" Alright"

" Goodnight Shaun"

" Goodnight"

I guessed we settled it amicably. Though a little emotion was felt. After leaving his office, I went into my room. The mess in my room didn't budge but were still waiting for me.

'You stupid lot almost got me into another trouble.'

I angrily gathered the paper balls  and threw them into my waste basket, before jumping on my bed like a dead log of wood, and travelled between space. Travelled to the lala land. 

***

I heard voices in my head and I thought that I was dreaming. But the voices just kept getting louder and louder until I jolted up from my bed to see Harry standing before me.He really have a knack for ruining a good bed rest.I yawned and stared at him for some minutes as if he was an alien. 

"Why the look, bro? Aren't you going?" He inquired.

"Going where?" I questioned, groggily.

" For the deliveries" 

"This night?" I asked as I could tell that I was still dozing off.

" Bro! It's already 7:00AM" 

"Seven?" My brows raised and my sight landed on my wall clock.

Fuck shit!

I quickly jolted down from my bed and ran like a madman into my restroom. In less than ten minutes, I was done with the shower.

"Why didn't you wake me up  on time?" I asked Harry as I kept flinging my clothes out of my closet, looking for a perfect one to wear.

"I did but you were too deep in the lala land" he still found a way to make the situation funny.

" Screw that, bro!" 

"How's this?" I asked him after dressing up. 

"Sharp" he snapped his fingers.

Then I took my gun and we went out of my room with Harry.

"We're leaving bro" Harry said to Jayson when we got down.

"Not eating breakfast?" Jayson curiously asked. 

"Maybe when we come back we can talk about food." I  said.

Money first.

Then I and Harry were going outside when Jayson told us that he had already called the men that will be following us and we nodded in unison. We picked a random car from the garage and drove to the location where Jaime and the other of Jayson's men were, then we all drove to the client's warehouse.

An unusual event happened. Some unknown gunmen opened fired at us and we did same. We instantly shot seven down while two of our men were shot in their leg. When they saw that we were overpowering them, they wanted to escape but Harry immediately ran after one of them and hit him hard with the butt of his gun. The rest successfully fled and we didn't care about them. We were only concern about the one we caught and the client.

"Take him" Harry ordered one of the men as the rest followed me and him, into the warehouse. It was fucked up. The client's men were down and the he was abducted.With anger already fuming in me, I yelled as I shot three bullet into the air.

"Damnit! Let's get the fuck out of here!" My brows furrowed as the sentence came out of my mouth as an order.

"I will drive" Harry tried to tell me calmly but my IED caught up with me as I yelled at him.

"No Harry. I'm driving"

"Give me the keys, Shaun!"

" I said fuck off!" My brows arched at him as my voice deepened.

I tried hard to control myself but it wasn't working. I just wanted to tear a city down with my anger. We got into the car and I drove my car on high speed back home.Jayson was already coming back from his work when I was driving home so our cars met at the gate. 

"I heard the news boys, and that's why I'm already here" Jayson said as he came down from his car.

He came closer to me and aided me in breathing. I was reluctant to follow his guidance but I later gave in and after three minutes, I found myself slowly calming down.

"Who the fuck put his life on the line by attacking the Crimsons?!" I guess my anger wasn't completely gone as I cursed.

"Don't worry boys. We will surely find out. I heard one of the gunmen was caught, right?" Jayson asked and Harry nodded.

" He's in our warehouse" Harry said.

"Good. Now let's pay the shooter a visit and find out who the fuck he's working for" Jayson cursed for the first time and this gave me the assurance that this was going to get bloody.

I like bloody stuffs.

We all entered into Jayson's Rolls-Royce boat tail, as we were heading to our warehouse.
