"Yes," the clipped tone of an older man answered the call at the first ring.

"I have an assignment for you. Chase Fenix out of the city and I'll sign the contract." Michele said, his fingers tracing the new window gracing his office.

There was a brief pause on the other end.

"You have a deal."

He'd been contacted multiple times by the same man seeking to expand his business in New York and wanting to make Michele, and therefore Guerra, his partner. On the streets, he was known as simply Ortega. He'd taken over a failing drug empire and was about to rehabilitate it by going into other business ventures. With Michele's financial expertise, as well as his severed ties to all the other big players in New York, he'd thought Guerra would be the best partner.

They'd met a few times to discuss terms and division of power once they'd unite forces, but Michele had been reluctant because he hadn't trusted the man.

He'd heard the rumors from Ortega's time under Jimenez, and he knew he wasn't the most loyal subject. And in Michele's mind, once a traitor, always a traitor.

But given Rafaelo's affiliation with Fenix, and subsequently to Carlos Jimenez, he needed someone who knew how to work in that particular area. He needed someone who could defeat Carlos and leave the way clear for Michele to get to his brother.

A smile pulled at his lips as he saw all the potential scenarios playing before his eyes.

He wasn't the person Rafaelo thought him to be. No, far from it. Just like Rafaelo hadn't been the person he'd portrayed himself to be.

They'd both played their roles. His brother's had been driven by his insurmountable guilt, while his own had been a role given by his sire—playing the rogue, prodigal son and showing a careless face to the world.

Behind closed doors, they'd schemed and schemed, until all plans had reached their pinnacles as he'd killed Benedicto and Cosima and exiled Raf, finally taking the power for his own as it should have always been and paving the way for the ultimate destruction.

Too bad his sire had not been there to see it—his death an unforeseen bump on the road. Still, he wouldn't let that stop him from accomplishing what they'd both so painstakingly planned.

Soon, his brother would cease to be a problem, his sire's assassin would pay, and the architect of his greatest misfortune would perish.

The balance would finally be restored, with everyone getting their due.

Plopping himself on his chair, he leaned back, lighting a cigarette and staring at the cloud of smoke forming in front of him.

Ah, but victory would be sweet indeed.
