Christians POV

We had spent days tracking down Sergei Sokolov. He was the first of many men and women we would have to take down before we could finish off Victor. We had already gone after many people, but it seemed as if the ist was endless. But even though he was one man he held a lot of power, it was something that was a common occurrence. Sergei was the head of the Russian mob, at least a large portion of it. Russia being so large it made the mob, into several mobs. He was young, his father having died when he was 14, but it didn't make him dumb.

No Sergei was a smart man. He was now 28 and there was a reason he was still around. His father had spent all 14 years before teaching him how to take over, how to survive. And to think we would have just left him alone if he hadn't involved himself with Victor, that man had a way to slip into everything. It wasn't just any involvement either, in order to fund his project for Victor he had turned to human trafficking. Selling drug, weapons, and gambling that was nothing. But selling a human being into anything was not something I, or the others, could let to continue to it was because it hit close to home, or perhaps we did care, either way we would not let it happen if we could stop it. So we made a plan and tracked him down.

Adrian, Dimitri and I sat in a booth in a dark corner in a shady as fuck club. The good thing was no one paid us any attention. Though maybe it was not as shady as I thought, this club apparently had a certain clientele for a reason. Everyone here was either drunk or far too drugged up to notice us, but there were many who seemed to be taking advantage of this. I didn't even know why we were here, Rose seemed to have the situation fully under control, no one but Sergei seemed to be paying her any attention, but that made sense he had apparently claimed his prize and people knew better than to mess with what Sergei believed was his.

"Did she really just have a baby a few weeks ago?" Adrian took a sip from his drink as his eyes roamed Rose up and down.

Although Rose was far from my type I had to admit she was good looking. And Adrian was right she looked amazing for just having a kid. She wore a small tight red dress, that hugged her curves and made her breasts look, well huge. Or perhaps that was because she was feeding a baby, something that I will not lie by saying was odd. Seeing her breastfeeding tiny Luka had made me see her in a new light. She was our Rose our number two, but she was so much more. She had a slight swell in her lower abdomen but it wasn't bad looking at all. If anything her pre baby body was glowing. Rose was glowing and this man, Sergei was eating it up.

"Why are we even here, she can clearly handle this?" I asked the question directing it towards Dimitri, he was the reason we were here. This mission after all had been Rose's not ours.

"She just had a baby we need to make sure she doesn't over exhort herself." I looked at the man and laughed.

It was clear as day why he had insisted that we come. He didn't want anyone near, let alone touching his Roza. But he would never admit that, if he did he would have to also admit he still had it bad for Rose. I understood why at first he avoided her, now it was just ridiculous. Guilt racked our fearless leader though, even if Rose had long forgiven him. It was clear his mind would drift elsewhere, all the time It was also clear he hated himself for taking Rose and possibly hurting her, and it seemed to kill him more that he could have hurt their child. He just needed to put his own pride aside before he ruined the chance at being with her.

"Hey I mean if I get to see her like that I'm all for following her around." Dimitri glared at Adrian as he openly checked her out again. "I mean shit look at the way Sergei is looking at her. And his hand on her knee is totally telling me what he wants to do to her."

And to think I was the one who liked to play with fire. Adrian was playing with a burning blue flame, I knew why he was doing it though. There was only one way to get to Dimitri, by working him up to the point where he snapped. The more Rose put herself out there, the more the man tensed. Normally it would take a long time to do that to him, but Rose was his exception. Every second that ticked by caused the man to burn even hotter with green envy. He wanted her, he just had convinced himself he didn't deserve her. Sometimes the man made no sense.

"Looks like she's got him on the hook." I watched as Sergei paid for his and Rose's drink and started to help her stand his hand falling low on her back, no doubt believing he was going to be getting some action.

They walked out the front door and we waited a few minutes to follow. I watched as Rose slipped into the mans red Beamer, alone. There was something about that woman that made men want to trust her. Sergei had left his guards in the club, intending on being alone with his beauty in red. Too bad he would be the one wearing red after we were done with him. Rose had some major plans for him, and none of them included pleasure, perhaps some pleasure for herself, but definitely none for him.

He sped the whole way back to his place. What was even better was that he decided to bring Rose to his more secluded apartment, the one no one even his guards knew about. It was on the outskirts of Moscow, it was his apartment to find refuge. You'd think that over 10 years being a gangster the man would know better. It was a well known fact that men thought things through with wrong head, and I suppose gangster or not he wanted some. And as far as he was concerned he was going to get it. His father would be so disappointed, his father had raised him better, had taught him to never trust anyone.

"Hurry up." Dimitri got out of the van we had in a rush, heading towards the building Rose had just rushed into, or more so been pulled into.

"You know she can do this herself." Acting a bit braver than I should I grabbed Dimitri by his arm and yanked him towards me. "What is your problem man? She knows what to do. She has weapons. Rose is just as trained as we all are. She has done this more time than we can count."

"Are you questioning my authority?" There was no denying the spark that shot through Dimitri. No matter what he would always assert himself as a leader, and I was questioning his motives. What he needed to remember was that we had promised each other that we had to work as a team, that we were all equal. It had been a while, but we were still on the same team.

"You know he's right Dimitri." Adrian stepped between us, quickly taking Dimitri's anger with me and turning it on to himself.

"We said we would do this together, that's what I'm doing." Dimitri's shoulders sagged in defeat as he seemed to notice what he had been doing.

"Let's just go I'm sure by now Rose has him on his knees naked begging for mercy." He had a point, Rose worked quickly.

After avoiding the guard on duty, and figuring out what floor Sergei lived on we made it just in time for the main event. Rose never disappointed. She had the man on his knees naked, with her gun pointed at his temple. For being a dead man walking Sergei still had an air of confidence surrounding him. His eyes flickered to Rose, arousal still in them, not only that it was clear in his manhood, I rolled my eyes and gagged. The sick bastard was turned on by what was happening. I suppose being who he was, death was always just around the corner.

"I brought company I hope you don't mind." Rose's eyes flickered towards us as we closed the door behind us.

"Didn't know you were that type of girl." A smile played on Sergei's lips as he took the three of us in. "Odd combination if you ask me. I just call first dibs in fucking you."

Suddenly Dimitri was on the man. He clocked him hard on the chin in a killer upper cut. Not jealous my ass. Sergei fell over on the floor, blood spilling from his now split lip. Dimitri stood over him an evil smirk on his lips, it had been a long time since Dimitri had gotten this much action, he craved it. It was times like these when I knew Dimitri was still healing and still trying to find his way. simply because he hesitated to him him again. It was also then that I understood why he kept away from Rose, he didn't want to hurt her anymore, he was having problems with his control. Silly man.

"Well now that that's out of your system." Rose stepped around Dimitri without missing a beat.

She forced Sergei back onto his knees and put her gun against his temple.

"Now I just have a few questions for you. What did Victor offer you in return for the money?" Sergei huffed so Rose slapped him with her gun, causing him to now bleed from his temple.

"He said you would come." I stepped closer without thinking. "He said I was a dead man walking, and I thought what did I have to lose."

"You have a wife, children." Sergei now did not seem so confident. "You didn't think I would come into this empty handed now did you."

Rose walked around the man and stood in front of him. She knelt down in front of him making sure to hold his eyes with hers. He looked back, not backing down. Rose knew something he did not want her to know, but he was not going to give in that easily. The man had fight in him, but it was a fight he was going to lose. He couldn't reach his alarms, he could not reach his guns. We had planned this out to perfection.

"He promised us weapons." Rose smiled softly and inched closer to the man.

"What weapons?" Sergei looked back to us and we stared back.

"He claimed to have weapons as strong as nuclear bombs, but without the complete terror of them. Weapons that could help me reign like a king, but still have people to rule." He looked back to Rose shrugging his shoulders.

"Did you see them?" You could see the curiousity in Rose's eyes,but it also helped us see the defeat in Sergei's eyes.

"Victor is not the type of man who needs to show proof. I can assure you he has these weapons. He has them because he can, because he is a man who gets what he wants when he wants it. He knew about my wife and daughters too. But he knew more than that. And he gave me an advance to my weapons in pills." Sergei lifted his head well knowing what was going to happen next.

We already knew what pills he was talking about. The pills to control. The pills that had once controlled us. Victor was now handing them out to get people to work for him, in return he was controlling more people than we could ever imagine. Victor was far stronger than we thought, Victor was going for total world domination.

Rose pointed her gun and shot Sergei in the head. The blood and brains splashing on her dress and on me. But we walked away like nothing had happened. Dimitri pulled his duster off and slung it over her shoulders before walked ahead of her. We had a long way to go but we had more information. It wasn't what we had wanted to know, but it was better to confirm it.

"So where to next?" Adrain lit a cigarette as we piled into our van.

"I need to get back to Luka. My breast fucking hurt." Rose looked back towards us and winked. I gagged loudly, there were some things I never wanted to know.

"They look pretty full." Adrain waggled his eyebrows at her and she laughed.

I did not miss the side ways glance Dimitri gave her as he drove away. He had noticed it too. This was going to be far too complex.
