Quinton called up Anna, one of the most trusted in my circle. She's a shorter girl with short hair and bangs, high cheekbones and a petite frame. Her green eyes are framed by dark lashes, giving them a deathly look despite her sweetness. She also happens to be one of my closest friends and the best thief I've ever met. She stole a politicians wig off his head once when she got bored. His wife was mortified. I couldn't stop laughing.
Two other of the more buff guys came to help with the hard stuff.
When they came in I went over to Anna, she smiled at me and I took in her light pink sundress and chuckled.
"You shouldn't just assume that we won't be doing any dirty work, Anna. You might mess up your pretty little dress," I sang in a teasing way as I walked past her.
"Maybe I'll mess up your pretty little head," she called behind my before running up and jumping on my back.
"Get off," I said in a dead pan voice, she dropped and stood to attention," We have a mission and that requires complete and total focus."
"What is it?"
"We're kidnapping the heirs to the Dragon mafia."
"You know where they are?"
"One of them is currently naked and in the guest room down the hall," I told her as I loaded my gun, her jaw basically unhinged it dropped so far down," It will be your job to go get him and escort him to my office. Take Douglas and Miller with you."
She glanced at the two buff guys behind us, Douglas and Miller stood about five feet away looking like they just got leave from the United States Marines with their muscle and stature. If Hernandez tried to get away he wouldn't make it ten feet before they caught him.
"Might I ask why he's naked and in your house, boss?"
"No, you may not. Now get going, he'll need a few minutes to wake up and get dressed and I want to get a location on his brother as soon as possible. I already swiped his phone on the way out of the room this morning and have Nicky working on it right now."
"So you were in the room with him!"
"Get going, White."
She smiled and nodded to me before turning on her heel and marching out, Douglas and Miller in tow. I shook my head and chuckled. Anna has no real sense of my power which is probably what I like best about her, she's more friend then employee.
Going down the hall to my office I realized that it would have been extremely hard for Rico to realize who I was on my own. The only pictures I have of my family are packed away in an old photo album along with the larger one of my father and mother in my office.
It's not his old one, after my parents died I was put into the care of my Aunt Sabrina on my mother's side, she didn't really pay much attention to me but she did pay attention to one thing- the money she got from selling my parent's house and furniture. I was lucky enough to have snuck in here with Quinton one night and fill a few boxes with some of their things. Everything else was sold for alcohol and drug money, resulting in her being put in jail last year for possession of illegal substances.
This effected me little to not at all because I was already nineteen at the time, owned my own house and was in charge of the Angels. I was just beginning to be known as the Queen of Angels at the time and my castle was a large house by the sea.
I love this house, it has the perfect location and view. A two story faux chateau house with six bedroom and a four bathrooms. The long windows are everywhere they need to be and no where they don't. It has two real fireplaces instead of those phony ones most houses have and enough a shingled roof.
There's not a thing I would change about my castle, not even if it were a real chateau could I love it more.
I sat down in the big leather chair in my office. Its not really like most the offices people would imagine mob bosses having, it has a light wood desk with a tan chair and a large window to the left with a magnificent view of the Atlantic framed by cream curtains. Next to the door is a medium sized photo of my father surrounded by smaller framed articles on him from the local and national newspapers.
He never was shy, I thought to myself. A knock sounded on the door.
Anna walked in with that undying smirk on her face," Are you ready for him?"
I nodded and she stepped aside for Rico to be escorted in by Miller and Douglas who both had strong grips on his forearms. He'd tried to run.
They put him down harshly in the chair opposite me. He sent me a glare as he sat up in his chair.
"How ya doin'," I asked all cheery.
"Cut the crap, what's your real name and who sent you?"
"No one sent me."
"Bull-"
"I'm the one who sends people," his eyes widened. He had underestimated my rank. I stuck out my hand across the desk to shake his hand," I'm Mary Duke, Queen of Angels."
"Why do you want me here?"
"Well, since you're so new to the area I figured you'd stay with me-of course your little brother as well- until your father could come get you."
"No thanks."
"I don't think you understand, I'm not asking. This isn't a scene, its an arms race."
