"Do not disgrace this family, Son. You do your job and watch out for your little, damaged sister. You would do well to remember that. You can leave now." Jin, head of the family and gang of the Triads; the most feared criminal gang in downtown Chinatown, and also known as my father. He orders me away without looking up from the supply of cocaine on his desk as he weighs each wrapped package. He passes the drugs to the two girls who are down to their underwear without blinking an eye. It’s normal to see half naked woman around here, human trafficking isn’t anything new and it really disgusts me how he treats people. Am I going to turn into him by the time the family business is placed in my hands? Will I treat my sister as if she’s a disgrace or when it’s time for me to claim a bride…will my heart be so cold that not even she can break through?

His order is a daily reminder that if I fail my family, I better start running because if I'm caught, I'll just be another body found in a dumpster behind one of the diners in Chinatown.

"Yes, Father." I bow at the waist and straighten when he clears his throat in a dismissal.

Quickly spinning on my heels to exit his office, I keep my facial expression neutral as I pass his guards that glare daggers at me.

Don’t show your anger, no emotions.

I hate when my father talks about my baby sister that way, she can’t help that she has Tourettes… it’s what makes her special and unique in my eyes.

I shake off the rage creeping to the surface, ignoring the way my father’s guards place a hand on their guns. They would like nothing better than to see me dead, not liking the idea of me taking my father’s place one day, making me in charge. I'd rather not have anything to do with it either, but when you're forced into this world, there is no escaping. You're born into it and you die in it.

I glance at my watch, checking the time only to see that I'm late to head over to Logan's. I received a short text last night from him telling me to come right over in the morning, and that shit was going down. At first, I thought it was about the package of drugs from the station downtown that went wrong, but he would have told me to come over right away last night if that was the case. It's something else, once again this world doesn't ever sleep and it's one thing after another. I’ve known Logan since elementary school, our mutual brutal households tying us together, and our friendship never bugged our fathers. They practically pushed our friendship the moment they found out. Father says that the crime families should stay together, good for business, but to never forget that everyone is an enemy and to trust no one, even your best friends.
