Chapter Eight

Several hours later

Emily closed her eyes as she pressed her back against the wall trying to ignore the sounds of bodies being taken away. Her father was talking with her husband and his friends. The man who had attacked them, the one she had shot, had known Bracken. From what she heard the name of the man whom she had shot was Craig. He’d worked for The Family since he was a kid and had been loyal until they killed his father.

Donnie, Luiz, Tonio, and Jake had killed his father, and he’d sworn his allegiance to Damon Seagus.

“Craig was a good man,” Bracken said. “His father, he was stuck in the old ways. Even when I saved him from your fathers several years back, he was still determined to follow their orders. Man was loyal to the very end.”

“He was loyal to a cause that was all but dead,” Donnie said.

“Not to him. You need to understand that when fresh blood takes over, there are always a lot of the old timers who struggle. They remember the old ways. They remember being protected, and a lot of mess happens in the process. At least they’re still alive, as are most of their family and friends, Donnie. This shit, it’s not a game, and you four have been playing this as if it’s a game you can just restart.”

“This isn’t a game to us,” Jake said.

“It’s not? Then why have I heard more whining about how you four want to completely annihilate The Family?” Bracken asked.

Emily had heard her father talking many times over the past couple of years about those four men. He admired them for having the courage to take out their own fathers. What he always said was he hoped they had the wisdom to know what they had really done. They had simply sped up the process of them taking over, and with it, put their own lives at risk.

Silence met her father’s question.

“You all thought you had the choice to walk away. There is no walking away. Now you should see that more than ever before. I was fucking dead to The Family, but I couldn’t just walk away. The moment you become part of this world, there is no backing the fuck down. You make your place, and you work like hell to get your fucking loyalty worth something. Those men I have, they would die for me, and they would die for my family before they saw anyone else take my place. All four of you have that capacity. I see it inside all of you. If I didn’t, we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now. Get your heads out of your fucking asses, and fix this problem.”

Bracken moved away, and when Emily opened her eyes, she saw her father standing in front of her.

“Hey, Dad,” she said.

“You made me proud tonight, baby girl.” He pulled her in for a hug and kissed the top of her head. “Thank you for protecting those women.
