Zander

The minute mom walks out the room from scolding us, I look around the table and see all my brothers suffering like I am. Having enough of this shit, I stand, throwing my napkin on the table. Murphy reaches for my hand, but I push it away. I need space and I need to get to work. Mom’s right. We’ve all been getting lazy. Especially me. I should’ve figured she would take notice to me sending my crew out instead of doing the job myself. Not anymore. She wants us to get our heads out of our asses then that’s what I will do. I’ll show her I still hold my power in this state. I understand it. She wants to make sure we don’t forget who we are and no one else does either. Well, I’m going to show her I know exactly who I am and make damn sure no one in this state ever forgets it. Just like dad said, they will come for us and we need to show no weakness. Zander Stern has no weakness.

As soon as I think it, I stop at my car. I do have a weakness; my wife and my girls. But I’ll be damned if I let anyone come for them. Time for me to earn my keep in this family and make sure my girls have everything left for them to run one day.

I drive straight to Murphy’s casino. Needing to get the information I want, before she can arrive and try to calm me down. Going straight for her books I find what I’m looking for. Bobby walks in and asks,

“Hey man, haven’t seen you in a while.”

Looking up at him, he sees my face and blanches in fear.

“I know but that is all about to change.”

Writing down an address on a piece of paper, I hand it over to him.

“Here, I need you to call the crew, tell them to meet me at this address.”

As I start to walk out the door I turn back and tell him.

“Bobby, I need you to go back to keeping close detail on Murphy. Don’t let her out of your site.”

“Is there a problem I should know about?”

“No, not yet. Just do what I asked.”

Before he can reply, I briskly walk out the casino and go straight to the first address on the paper I wrote out. This guy owes us ten thousand dollars, which he will be paying today.

I knock on his door, then after a minute, I knock again. This time he answers but when he sees me, shock and realization show on his face. He tries slamming the door, but I manage to block it and that's when he takes off running through his apartment. Shit! I hate when they run. I don’t know where he thinks he’s going? Shaking my head at how stupid this is, I run after him, catching him fast and throwing him down on his knees.

“You know who I am, I see.”

He nods his head.
