The Boogie Man: A Mafia tale

Apple does not fall far

Kendrick

I arrive to the house; I had my men meet me at the pool house with the twins. I did not want to alarm them with their mother’s dead body; I made the last decision to stop in and check on Wallace first. Before I could make it to the porch, there is a loud noise in the back that causes me to rush to the back of the house. The garden is usually lit up with lights, with a continuous timer that Elizabeth is addicted to checking, but tonight it is eerily dark, and the path can only be guided by the house’s and street’s lights.  I make my way to the pool house to find my men arguing like some teenagers.

“What is going on, where are the twins!”

The dumbest one, Jack looks over at me, “Look boss, we brought them in and they said that they were going to the back to change clothes. I knew they were taking too long, and we went and checked they were gone.”

“We have been tossing the place up and down looking for them. They kept saying, ‘You guys are acting weird.. this do not make any sense…where is my mom.. our sperm donor would never get us let alone send his goons.’” Dylan says in his bratty voice, that last remark had to have been Kody.

I take out my phone and dial Wallace’s number, this is the third time tonight that I have called him; it rings multiple times with no answer.

WALLACE: Dude! I am working, why do you keep calling

ME: WHAT THE HELL DUDE! I told you that you cannot do that crap to her, it has to look like a legit break in.

WALLACE: Chill out, I got this. I am working my other magic if you know what I mean. You cannot be the only one who can play. Now what is up, what do you want, I am wasting gloves.

I shake my head, for someone who makes as much money as he does, he sure does sound like a cheap bastard right now.

ME: I brought the kids here, but my i***t men have let them escape.

It takes a minute for him to respond.

ME: Hello!!!! Have you heard them in the house!

WALLACE: My bad no, I have not, but I will listen out for them. Where are you?

ME: In the pool house, I am going to come over.

WALLACE: NO!!!!!!! I want to work in privacy I am almost done, who all are there with you

ME: If I have never told you this, you are a psycho. It is just me, Jack, and Dylan. Just come over when you are done; and clean up please. Make it fast so you can help us with the twins.

WALLACE: Over and out.

Freaking weirdo.

“Boys let’s split up. We need to find the twins and get this done. I want to end all this tonight. Logan will handle the asshole and I want to finish off his cubs. Now let us go.”

De’and I am in the back of our all bulletproof, tinted, all black Mercedes. Mason is driving like a bat out of hell, while De’ has tapped into the video surveillance, majority of them in the house are down now. Before they went dark, we did see Elizabeth tied to a chair bloody and beaten which harden my heart even more. De’ comes across film of some men bringing the twins in, then shortly after the twins jumping out of the window and running into the woods. That is all we needed.

We finally get to the neighborhood; kill the lights and I instruct them to park at my house. My men arm themselves and we separate, De’ is with me.  Elizabeth’s garden is a beautiful maze I know by heart from many nights of stalking, I mean watching her. When we get close to the house one of wanker’s men is walking around searching, I kneel and give my team hand signals to quietly dispose of anyone in sight. Before I can finish, De’ rushes the guy and snaps his neck. I glare at him and he shrugs his shoulders, impatient bloke; one (yes, I have a counting disorder, sue me).

I hear a rustle in the bushes, and I swing my pistol to the sound and find Kadence. De’ starts to run to her, but before he makes it Kendrick grabs her from behind and puts a blade to her throat and stands directly behind her, and another man runs into De’ and shoves a blade into his side. They tussle and fight and De’ gains the upper hand removes the blade and stabs the guy in his chest. Now he is sitting up on his knees, holding his right side, basically holding his breath, watching Kendrick.

“Everyone put your f*****g guns down, or I will slice her throat wide open.”

“Everyone put your guns down.” I yell to my men, my own guns up in surrender; I place them on the ground.

“Tell all of your men to leave!!! When I feel I am safe, Kadence and I will walk out of here and I will leave her down the road; you have my word.”

“You are not leaving here with my f*****g niece you psycho.” De’ is pouring blood, my daughter is my main concern, but if I want to save my brother, I need to end the arse-hole soon.

“All of you get the f**k out, now!” My men run out the way we came, I hear De’ cursing under his breath. He places his forehead to the ground and yells.

“How did you do it? You were always two steps ahead this entire time.” Kendrick chuckles, “You saved everyone but Beth, at least I get joy from knowing that b***h is dead.”

Kadence has remained stoic this entire time, but with that news, her demeanor cracks, I see her body vibrates.

“You better f*****g slice my throat now, because if you do not, I will find you and I swear on my mother’s life I will end you very slowly. I will pill the flesh from your f*****g muscles piece, by piece and I will feed it to you and your pretty little wife.” The venom in her voice made me shiver.

“Damn.” De’ is literally just staring.

“Kadence, do not provoke him just hush baby girl.” I plead with her, but I think the damage is done.

“Listen to your Daddie Kadence. O, did your little w***e tell them who their father was.”

“Call my mother a w***e again and I will cut out your tongue. And no, she did not, but I am glad I did not come from your weak ass blood line.”

I cover my face, yep he she is psycho like her pops, and she is going to get herself killed.

“Beth.” Kendrick whispers

I turn around and my heart stops.
