Naruto and his cousins were talking when the door opened and the vampire they put their trust in to watch over the kids entered, "Guys, look I know I fucked up, and it won't happen again, I swear. I found the families of those boys and they are dealers trying to come up so I set up a deal for later on today with them."
Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked to his confused cousins, "Um, okay we see you trying to make amends, " Naruto suddenly raised his gun and shot the vampire in the head, "But we don't play behind those kids."
"We use him as bait for the Five, we can get some descriptions on them and hunt them down." Benard said
"What about the Hunters curse?" John asked
"We will take care of it." Naruto said before Rebekah entered
"Wait. We can use them." Rebekah said
*For what?" Casey asked
"The cure."
"And what would any of us want with the cure?" John asked
"We can weaponize it. You guys still have an organization of vampires lurking around." Rebekah said
The cousins raised an eyebrow and shared a look before Naruto shrugged, "Okay, I'll talk to the witches and see what they can do." He said
Later
Naruto, and Casey walked over to Reggie who was talking to some young dude, "Whats good Reg?" Naruto asked tapping up Reggie who did the same with Casey
"Sup man, this the little nigga dude was talking bout." Reggie said
"You know Micheal?' Casey asked
"Yea we did time together, we would've died if it wasn't for Kanan and Reg."
"Hn, well Micheal fucked up." Naruto said causing the man to frown, "We out our trust in him to watch over our kids and protect them but he failed."
"Aye, I understand I'd do anything behind my baby girl." The man said
Naruto and Casey nodded, "You heard about the hunter's?"
"Yea, they been attacking wolves and stealing their venom and shit."
"We going to feed them Micheal to get an I.D on the fuckas so we want you to watch over and call us." Naruto said
"I got you." The man said
*Dont fuck this up, Dre." Reggie said getting a nod from Dre
*If you do this, we will start funneling you some product to put food on your table and in your daughters mouth."
"Shit, I'm wit it." Dre smirked nodding before he walked off
"Kids got potential." Casey said getting a nod from Reggie and Naruto
"And ambition, to much I'd say and that could be dangerous." Naruto said before they walked off
"Aye you know the code he's a rat he's gone." Reggie said
Later
Naruto drove an stolen so down the road as John, Casey, and Benard loaded their guns, and they all used their hearing toisten out for any chatter, "We got a Escalade coming up, it could be them niggas Michael was telling us about."
"We ain't got time for these fuckas, y'all be ready in case they try something they hear for the drywall we get the cash and we strap up and lay these niggas down if they with Naruto and his gang."
"I hear you but we need to keep one alive to figure out what Naruto and them other niggas look like."
Naruto sighed, as his phone rung, "Whats up Lester?" Naruto asked putting phone on speaker, "Make it quick kinda in the middle of something right now."
"I got some high-risk shit in the works, I need you and your family to help me. Big payday for everyone involved."
"Okay, we'll be in touch, got to go." Naruto said hanging up before he parked the car at the house in the back of the cul-de-sac
The cousins got out the car all with hoods on, and John carried the duffel filled with counterfeit money,
Naruto knocked and after a moment a man cracked the door open, "Courier service, we have a package to collect." Benard said as the man looked to other three that were looking around outside at the ther houses
"You got the grip?" The man asked
"You got the brick?" John asked tapping the duffel before they heard crying as the door opened
"Sorry bout that man my girl just lost her son." The man said with the drywall made to look like a brick in hand
"How that happens? Didn't word get out that all violence was to stop for the next week?"
"Fuck them vampires and they orders. You want the crown you got to take it." The man said causing Naruto to scoff
DC tossed the bag into the mans face and pushed the man back into the house with his Glock-19 against the bag and shot the man in the face, the cousins entered the house and slammed the door with Retro stating by it as his cousins stormed inside and went through the house and shot and killed everyone inside including the kids who survived last night
Looking out Retro saw dealers storming out their houses strapped up and heading over, and he gripped his Assault SMG and began to shoot through the window causing the dealers to quickly scramble for cover and return fire
DC ran over and helped return fire as Naruto and Lean went out the back, and snuck behind some houses and ran into some dealers who were trying to go around and quickly the cousins put a bullet in the two men's head,
Coming from behind the dealers who were firing back Naruto put away his Glock 19 gen5 pistol and grabbed his AR-15 Dedicated 9MM the was stranged beneath his jacket, as Lean grabbed his M4A1
The cousins wasted no time and mowing down the dealers as they squeezed the triggers
Hearing cars behind them, Naruto turned around and saw a van trying to run them down so Naruto oushed Lean and jumped onto the hood and shot through it causing the driver to get a bullet through the dome and veer off into a house as Naruto jumped down before sirens were heard and the 4 ran into an alley as cops arrived and got out of their cars to chase on foot
Jumping a fence the four ran into the middle of the road and split up with Naruto continuing forward John going right and Casey going left while Benard got onto a motorcycle and sped off
The cousins ducked the cops until they each reached one of their own safe houses that were set up all over New York and proceeded to burn their clothes and take a long shower,
Later, Privilege Nightclub
Megan, Stephanie, Brittany, and Tabatha were at one of their clubs in VIP watching as Micheal drunk some alcohol, he was under compulsion to just act how he usually does they watched as he threw money in the air, "You sure this is going to work?" Tabatha asked
"Biggest party going on in New York, tonight. And if your a hunter and know just how infested New York is with the supernatural you know a vampire or two will be here." Megan said as they watched as bald head man walk over and talk with Micheal before they shook hands and Micheal suddenly flinched and tried to pull his hand away but he was suddenly staked and when he slumped against the man he made a show of helping the corpse out to the back of the club, as the wives called their husbands
Dre saw what happened, "Fuck!" He cursed before he made a call but found the line busy
Naruto and his cousins were outside the club and hung up with their wives and looked up as the backdoor to the club opened and the hunter exited with Micheal, "Need a hand, man?" Naruto asked
The hunter looked up at them, "Naw I'm okay, my brother had a little much to drink."
"I don't mean to be rude but your brother seems to have a stake in his chest." Benard said causing the hunter to frown before he dropped the corpse and pulled his gun but he suddenly tensed when Megan gripped his arm and forced it behind his back and snapped his arm at the elbow causing him to scream in pain
"1 down 1 to go." Casey smirked walking up and kissing his wife before he kneed the hunter in the before knocking him unconscious
6 Months Later
A couple of months went by and with the Hunter bound beneath the club, they learned a lot about him, his name was Conner and he and another hunter who had left New York were sent here by some professor named Shane, who just so coincidental a new professor at Bonnie's high school
James and Tommy had begun to work for Lobos who wanted to meet with Naruto and the others but Naruto and the others refused to meet with someone who was high up on the Feds watch list, and while they were we'ree well they were believed to be a myth,
The Hand had pulled back from New York, Naruto figured it was to gather more intel on his family and their operation, but he wasn't worried about them, James got the green light for his club but Naruto inserted himself as an owner to make it not seem too out the blue for a new face to enter the club scene and have people take a deeper look into James who got to name the place and would work as the manager,
Audrey had also got into her new self as a Hybrid very well, and told Naruto she wanted to be an actress so they began to do skits that were posted on his Instagram as practice,
Currently, Naruto was holding his phone and smiling at the camera ss he recorded himself, "Good morning my brothers and sisters, and today I was awoken by my beautiful black child and asked a question that I felt needed to no just addressed onto her but to all my brothers and sisters." Naruto said as Audrey acted annoyed while in her pajamas, "Now child please tell the people what you have asked of your father?"
"Can I have some bacon?" Audrey asked
"Could she have some bacon!?" Naruto yelled as his other kids, Bonnie, and Stephanie held their hands over their mouths to stop laughing loudly, as Audrey sighed "You have to be specific child, was it turkey bacon, beef bacon, squirrel bacon?"
"Pig back"
"Pi-Pork! The devils' meat!' Naruto yelled aghast as Audrey growled, "Now why would you ask your father to make such a thing, child?"
"Cause it's in the fridge." Audrey said pointing to the fridge
"WHY is it in the fridge, is the question. It's not in the fridge for you to take the devils bait, but for you to be smart enough to throw it in the tra-"
"What is wrong with you?" Audrey asked loudly
"What you will not do is talk while I am speaking, child!" Naruto said loudly as the family laughed, while Audrey turned away to hide her own laughter as Naruto smiled at the camera, "I am sorry my brothers and sisters for my attitude but please raise your children correctly. God bless you, my brothers and sisters." Naruto said glaring at Audrey from the corner of his eyes before he ended the video and began to laugh as he hugged Audrey and handed her the phone
"You retarded." Stephanie smiled walking up and kissing Audrey's head and Naruto's lips chastely
*Whatever, okay y'all know the drill." Naruto said looking to the kids, "You listen to Bonnie, and finish all your homework and be in bed by 10:00 asleep. Not playing the game, or on your phones."
"Yes, sir." The kids said before they all hugged and kissed their parents' goodbye, and went to go finish their work
"What about you?" Stephanie asked
"I'm going to practice my magic." Bonnie said getting a nod from the two
"Okay just don't overdo it." Naruto replied kissing her cheek and walking off
"Call us if you need anything." Stephanie said kissing Bonnie's cheek and walking behind Naruto who opened the door for her
*Have fun!" Bonnie waved as the two smiled and left
Later
Naruto drove his Pegassi Tezeract a new model he designed in competition with his cousins, they were heading for the club Truth since today was the grand opening, "Are you sure James with a club is a good idea?" Stephanie asked
"It's been months since this was in the works and your asking this now?" Naruto asked looking to her as she shrugged, "It was Ghost idea, he said it would help clean more money for him and Tommy."
"And help you find more thots to put your dick into." Stephanie added
"Same thots that be between your legs right?" Naruto asked smiling as he leaned over and kissed her as she smiled at him, "I only agreed because with this Lobos cat, comes a lot of heat. We need money coming from every direction."
"Yea, but Lobos doesn't know what you look or sound like." Stephanie said
"Right, but I don't think James' head or his heart is in the game anymore. I think he wanted this club as his escape plan." Naruto said causing Stephanie to frown
"Will you guys let him leave?" Stephanie asked
"Depends on how it plays out." Naruto said getting a nod before he parked in the VIP lot across the club and they got out and saw the line wrapped around the corner from people trying to get in,
The two walked to VIP and shared some champagne with James and Tasha, "Look at this place man." James said to Naruto as they sat in VIP, "Your living the dream."
"Me, what about you?' Naruto asked his cousin who looked at him, "This was your idea. You own this place as much as I do. This was your vision. Your old man would be proud."
James smiled as Naruto brought him into a side hug before, Kantos walked up and knelt beside the couch, "Head count's at 400 and it's not even midnight. Fire marshal told us to keep it under 325, so if he shows up, we're fucked."
Naruto and James nodded, "Place is fucking bananas. You might be worth the risk." Naruto said
"I told you that's all behind me now, and I delivered. It's the best goddamn nightclub opening the whole year. My whole database turned out." Kantos replied
"Yeah, you know the right people. And it's banging tonight, but we stay in business if we keep the music hot, the women hotter, and make it damn near impossible to get in this fucking door." James said
"Even for my VIPs?" Kantos asked confused
"Come on, fuck your VIPs. We gonna redefine the word." James smiled before Kantos left and James driver Shawn Stark, Kanan's son walked over, "Hey, boss. They want you guys downstairs." Shawn said
"Who?" Naruto asked
"Tommy." Shawn answered
Naruto sighed before he, and James stood up and he looked to Steph and with a shift of his head she nodded and excused herself before he headed after her
"Should I come, too?" Shawn asked James
"You wait in the car." James said before he followed after Naruto as Shawn sighed in annoyance
Naruto and Stephanie were on an elevator, when James arrived, "Where's the butler?" Stephanie asked
"He's in the car."
"Of course he is." Naruto scoffed, "Why you keep him around?"
"We promised Kanan we'd look out for him."
"I didn't promise to babysit. You told K that you'd show Shawn the ropes. After he busted his knee that should've been the time to bring him in, but you made him your driver. If he ain't going to sell shit, or kill a mufukka then he got to go." Naruto said
"Shawn is family."
"Just cause he's Kanan's son doesn't make him family." Stephanie frowned, "Shawn is around everything, he sees and knows a lot about what we do, but he is soft, he's eager, which is good, but if he doesn't learn he will become a liability and we don't tolerate those."
"I'll toughen him up." James said
"Look, you practically raised Shawn, we know he means a lot to you, but you need to remember Kanan is getting out in a year, and we back on the warpath. We can not have liabilities while we are expanding. So Shawn needs to break his curse and man up or he needs to be your driver and only your driver.."
"I hear you." James nodded before they got off the elevator and saw Tommy kneeling beside a sobbing blindfolded woman while her boyfriend was beaten up and held to watch her, "What the fuck is going on?" James asked
"Ghost, meet Miguel Alvarez and his fiance Maria." Tommy said
"Why are they here?" Stephanie asked
"Cruz was driving his route when this motherfucker jumped him, shot him in the head." Tommy reported
"Cruz, so he got-" Naruto began
"The money! A whole day's paper."
"We get it back?" Stephanie asked
"No. He handed it off before Victor tracked him down. Wasn't enough to kill greedy motherfucker stole Cruz's phone, led us right to his place. Found him in bed with her. The moron thought he was home free, about to have his celebration fuck." Tommy said before Naruto shook his head and walked away with Tommy, Stephanie, and Ghost behind him
"Why the fuck would you bring him here? It's opening night. We got a full house upstairs." Naruto asked
"I thought you'd want to teach this motherfucker a lesson." Tommy said
"And the girl?" Ghost asked
"He needed some persuasion to talk." Tommy shrugged before Naruto shook his head and walked over to Maria who sobbed before she was stood up
"Calm down." Stephanie said in Spanish behind Maria as she slipped on gloves as Naruto looked to Miguel as he walked over to him,
"I'm going to ask once, and only once." Naruto said as he put on gloves, "You didn't hit my moneyman by chance. Someone told you where to go, who to hit. All I need to know is who."
"Man, I ain't gonna tell you shit." Miguel said causing Naruto to nod and smile
"I believe you." Naruto said before Stephanie grabbed Maria and covered her mouth and nose causing the girl to struggle but Steph was stronger and taller, as her yellow eyes gleamed
"Maria!" Miguel yelled his eyes glowing amber yellow before Naruto's hand found his mouth and nose and with a grip turned Miguel's head to the side, exposing his neck before he bit him
Miguel and Maria both struggled and eventually grew weaker until all movement seized before they were dropped without care,
"Take them back where you found them, burn the house. Gas leak." Naruto said before he and Stephanie walked off with Ghost and Tommy following
"He knew nothing about who hired him, just that it was a female with some all pink sneakers." Naruto said
"You think that was a good idea, killing the girl?" Ghost asked
"She heard our voices. That's enough." Naruto said, "This shit makes no sense. We had 60 drivers delivering product tonight, right?"
"61, Sabueso caught a bachelor party. Had to stay on to deliver." Tommy said
"And this motherfucker here hits Cruz when he's holding the money from all the day runs?" Naruto asked
"Plus we did that brick drop tonight." Ghost said
"The wholesale shit?" Stephanie asked
"Right. So Cruz is carrying today's cash from our whole fucking organization. The whole fucking organization. If he gets here 20 minutes later, after he's made the drop at the house, they get nothing. What does that tell you?"
"Asshole was working with one of our people." Tommy said
"What if it's someone who knows our fucking business?"
"Taà nos, Rock Street Killers, Soldado Nation." Stephanie said
"Why would they bite the hand that feeds them? They fuck with us, they lose their distro." Tommy frowned
"Because everybody hates middle management, man. Maybe they wanted to go straight to the source." Naruto frowned
"Shit, none of these guys got the stones to fuck with Lobos or the Biju directly." Tommy scoffed, "We all are wolves but Lobos is a crazy ass fuck."
"Still, the Soldados or Hermanos Taà nos wanted to take us down, they'd hit all our people, all at once." Ghost said
"Which means we have to take everybody off the street now." Naruto said
"Close the store?" Tommy asked shocked
"We can't afford to get hit again. If one of our people is behind this, we don't know who they're working with. We don't know who to hit back. We can't stand around with our dicks or pussy for the lady, in our hands waiting on the other guy to make his next move." Naruto said pressing the button as they all looked to Tommy who sighed and took out his phone
All across New York, dealers working for the business got a text and immediately abandoned their tasks and went home
Ghost and Stephanie saw Naruto in deep thought, "Nick, you got something on your mind?"
"I have to tell Lobos we got hit. I don't know how we got hit, could be the phones or the routes. With the amount of weight we have, we can't stay closed for long to change up the routes."
"So how long until we reopen?" Stephanie asked
"24 hours. But while we closed keep washing the money." Naruto said getting a nod from Ghost before the three reentered the club and people were prepared to call it a night
"You coming home with me?" Stephanie asked
"Naw, I'm going to stay till close and I'll be right over." Naruto said getting a nod before the two kissed, "I love you."
"I love you." Stephanie smiled before she left with Tasha
"What happened down there?" Tasha asked as they left the club
"Ask James. You know I don't talk about the business with anyone but my husband." Stephanie said causing Tasha to sigh
"I think Ghost is changing. He's been acting strange since Naruto gave him the go-ahead for the club."
"Naruto thinks he wants out." Stephanie said causing Tasha to look at her
"Impossible. Why would he want to get out?"
"That's a good question." Stephanie said
Later
The club was closed as James stood across from it, "See that, Pop? I did it. Your boy did it."
"Yo." Naruto called walking up to James, "What's been up with you lately?"
"What you mean?"
"It's obvious that something has been on your mind for the past few months. If you got something on your chest, get it off."
Ghost was about to speak but Tommy walked over, "I've been looking all over for you guys. Everyone got clear. No problems. Nobody tried shit."
Naruto nodded as Ghost sighed, "We lost 5 mill with Cruz, and with the store close that number is climbing." Ghost said
"The money ain't the real problem. No, the real problem is we need to find out who the fuck is behind this. Miguel was a pawn. We need answers. Quick. Especially after I tell Lobos we got hit."
"Shit, I say we don't tell him. He ain't gotta know about this. We pay him, get the fuck out of there." Tommy said
"You're not going." Naruto said causing the two to look at him, "Our business got hit so the heads have to go and smooth this shit out. Only six months we've been moving his shit. We got no history built. Lobos finds out about this, and we ain't say shit? It's a war on our hands and with the Hand still lurking about its something we don't need." Naruto said frowning
"Maybe they the ones that hit us." Tommy theorized
"Unlikely, Miguel was a werewolf, the Hand hates wolves." Naruto said sighing, "We got Lobos product sitting in a goddamn shipping container losing money by the minute. I'll have someone move his shit but it'll be slower."
"I'm just saying, Lobos, sets fire to people." Tommy groaned
"That guy was fucking his sister, man. We gotta give him his money. Cash." Ghost said
"Yeah, I got my half, but it's out at my mother's. I'll bring it tomorrow. Hey, I heard back from Drift."
"That guy over in E.O.?" Naruto asked
"He wants to get up with us next week. Talk about buying from us."
"Nah, we gotta hold off on Jersey. Not till we find out what the fuck's going on. Can't expand under fire." Naruto said getting nods from the two, "I'll get up with y'all tomorrow."
Naruto left as Tommy asked Ghost about a waitress, and would get home to find Stephanie and Rebekah asleep,
Morning
Naruto moaned as he opened his eyes to see Rebeka straddling his chest as she and Stephanie pleasured his morning wood
Few Moments Later
Stephanie was making plates for the kids, as her mom Erica watched Tatiyanna as Audrey walked in singing as she posted the video she and her dad recorded last night, "But how do you expect me to live alone with just me?
cause my world revolves around you it's so hard for me to breathe!"
"Audrey, what are you doing?" Stephanie's mom asked
"She's rehearsing, Mom." Stephanie said placing a player on the table
"The auditions for the school play in a month, and I want to be prepared." Audrey smiled
"I'm talking about your outfit. It's not flattering in your shape, baby."
"Yo." Naruto said walking in glaring at Erica, "Hell you doing?'
"I'm just saying, she's a beautiful girl she should wear that nice dress I bought her?"
"Nobody wears dresses to school, Big Mama." Audrey said
"And she can wear whatever she is comfortable wearing." Naruto said
"Okay, sorry." Erica replied before Naruto kissed Tatiyanna's cheek
"How are you doing, princess?" Naruto asked
"Good, will you pick me up today?" Tatiyanna asked
"Yup, then we are gonna go to the park and have lots of fun." Naruto said getting a wide grin from the 7-year-old
Standing up Naruto walked over to Audrey, "Dad we already got 1 million views."
"Aye," Naruto said as he and Audrey high fived
"But that's because you already have a following on Instagram?"
"Well your daddy has to try his hand at everything baby girl, just like your uncle John roasts people your uncle Casey makes skits and your uncle Benard dances, we some talented SOB's." Naruto smiled before his phone rung, "James, what's up?...
Okay, send me the address."
"Wish I could stay and have breakfast with y'all but I got a meeting. Audrey, go terrorize your bothers dreams please."
Audrey smirked and vamped out of the kitchen and in a moment Adonte and Roger screamed as they woke from. a nightmare as Audrey's laughter was heard causing Naruto to smile
"See you tonight." Naruto said kissing Stephanie who smiled and returned the kiss before Naruto walked to Tatiyanna and kissed her forehead, "Bye baby."
"Bye, daddy."
"Adonte, Roger, get y'all asses up and ready for school. And I bet not hear y'all been acting up or y'all going to have to see me." Naruto said walking to the door
"Kay!" The boys yelled as Naruto walked out of the house
Later
Naruto and his cousins were in an SUV out the hotel Lobos were staying at when his one rung, "Ghost, what's up? Bout to meet the Mexican."
"You recognize the name, Simon Stern?"
"Stern? What about him?" Naruto asked
" He's one of the biggest nightlife investors in New York. His office called. Stern told Page Six to write up about Truth. Wants to sit down."
"Stern is a snake he tried to take the girls club when they were starting up, don't trust him. I'll hit you later, I got to go." Naruto hung up
Hotel
Felipe Lobos looked out the window and frowned as Ghost and Tommy were late before turning around and flinching when he saw Naruto, John, Benard, and Casey
"Felipe Lobos nice to finally meet you." Naruto said
Lobos looked between the four and laughed, "Naruto, Dc Young Fly, Retro Spectro, Spectro LeanandCuisine, yes it is nice to fo ally meet you."
Casey tossed Lobos money onto the table, "We know you've heard about what happened, so it only made sense for us to come and look you in the eye and tell you the sit to. Is being handled." Casey said
"Hm, when I hired When, guys, six months ago to be my New York distributor, I was guaranteed a certain level of professionalism. Ghost told me that the Kings, the Bloods, the DDP that none of them were worth my time.
I believe the exact words were, "They're gangs and we're a business." Hmm? He also told me that only you guys could guarantee me a safe and secure pipeline with no interruptions."
"Then maybe next time you want to meet you go to the people in charge and not a Primera." John said
"In all honesty Ghost and Tommy dealing with you blindsided us. You come with baggage that we don't need, and while this all part of a longer discussion we have to get to the bottom of this."
The four began to leave but Naruto paused and looked to the vampires enslaved to Lobos, "Piece of advice, enslavement is a taboo in this city, if you hear to long whatever spell that binds your vampires to you will become undone."
Lobos looked to the 4 vampires standing around the room that had been his families attack dogs for the centuries with a frown before he looked back to the cousins and found them gone
Later, Park
Naruto smiled as he watched Tatiyanna play with her friends, while beside him sat Stephanie's cousin, Ruiz, "If I knew who ordered it, yeah, they'd be dead already." He said
"Hm?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow
"My money guy, same as yours. They shot my boy, Angel. Shot him right in the back of the head. He had a baby on the way." Ruiz said as Naruto frowned, "Now, look, I know, okay, you work with other crews. You have to stop this before it goes any further. I could lend you men, extra protection."
"Nah, me and mine are neutral, we don't do favorites. Easy way to lose trust with the Taà nos and Rock Street."
"You can't trust them anyway." Ruiz said
*They would say the same about you." Naruto replied
"We are family. What's the difference between me and Ghost?" Ruiz said
"If I wasn't married to your cousin, you would've tried to kill me by now, right?" Naruto asked causing Ruiz to frown, "Thought so, as for Ghost we practically raised that boy, and he earned everything he has. You want more, step up." Naruto said
"Maybe there's something else that we could work out." Ruiz said causing Naruto to look at him
"Naw we good, if you do us a favor then we owe you one. Which is why we don't do favors.." Naruto said as he got up and walked over to his baby girl who ran to him as Ruiz glared at him with amber yellow eyes
Dinner, Naruto's Penthouse
Naruto and his cousins along with Tommy were at the dinner table as Bonnie shook her head, "Yall so close have you guys never fought?"
"When we were younger we had an apartment, they fought over stupid stuff." Megan said
"Like what?" Jazmine asked
Flashback
Naruto sighed tiredly as he walked into the apartment and headed for the bathroom when he entered he saw a roll of tissue on the sink almost gone, "Fuck man?" He asked before he grabbed the roll and walked out to the living room, "Aye yo what's up with this?" He asked causing the three to look up as the girls were in the kitchen talking and looked in "Yall always leaving this little ass piece of tissue, how Im supposed to wipe my ass with that?" Naruto asked tossing the roll into John's face
"Bitch!' John yelled punching Naruto in the face as Naruto stumbled back and blocked Johns follow up and flipped him onto the ground before Casey hit him in the back of the head and Benard kicked Casey
The girls watched as the four fought, "Really?"
End Flashback
Bonnie and the kids looked at the four, "Over some tissue?' Bonnie asked
The four shrugged
"It was the principal." Naruto said
Bonnie scoffed
The family continued to eat, tell stories and laugh before the men went into Naruto's office, "Soldado Nation got hit, too." Naruto said
"No shit." Tommy said surprised
"Ruiz got a full shipment of weapons from his Florida connect last week. Our drivers can have full use till the shit blows over or until we catch the motherfucker. He offered to have his people ride with ours."
"Fuck that." John said
"The guns, though, that could work." Tommy said
"They could but not from Ruiz." Benard said
"Ruiz wants a seat at the table, always has. We can't trust him." Casey said
"The guns though. Police stop a driver carrying recreational weight and some cash, that's one thing, but a gun in the car, you're looking at intent to distribute, plus the weapons charge. Kanan got what 15 years?" Ghost said as everyone frowned
"You got a better idea? 'Cause we gotta open up the store or Lobos will move on.
Not to mention our people off the clock and our customers finding new places to cop." Tommy asked
"Let's say we find the motherfucker and it is one of Anibal's people or Rock Street Killers or whoever. Then what?" Ghost asked Tommy as his cousins watched the interaction
"Then it's on. Then we take down the whole fucking crew. We show them. We show everybody. You can't fuck with us, like the old days before Kanan went inside." Tommy said looking to Naruto and the others who smirked
"We were young then. Mobile. I got too much shit going on now to go into hiding. The kids, the club-"
"Oh, wait, so now the club dictates what we do with the real business instead of the other way around? And we opened up the Laundromats to clean the money. I was fine with that, but then you said, "Let's open up a nightclub. So we can hide even more." So I agreed. To hide the money. Period."
"What if there could be more than that though, man? What if it's our retirement plan?" Ghost asked looking to his cousins
*You want to go legit?" Benard asked
"I don't know any old drug dealers, they all are dead or inside." Ghost said as the others frowned, "The kids can't inherit a drug business. They can inherit the club."
Naruto suddenly vamped into Ghost's face causing James to tense, "Tommy get the men back on the street, with straps." John said getting a nod from Tommy who left looking at Ghost worriedly as he and Naruto stared each other down
"You have a lot of balls, Jamie." Naruto said
"I just-" Ghost began but Naruto put a finger up
"You come to us, about the club to hide your money, then we find out you and Tommy made a deal with Lobos behind our back, and with the new heat, he generates we move shit around to fit his operation into our plans. Then the day after we get hit, you talking about wanting out." Naruto said
"Okay, the timing is bad but-"
"The day you unlocked your gene we told you that there was no backing out." John said
"I remember." Ghost frowned
"Good, because you have kids that don't change anything. If anything it should make you go harder that they have the lives we all didn't get to have." Benard frowned
"Kanan comes home soon so that means we are back on the warpath. Find the bitch who put Miguel up to killing Cruz, and find the money. " Naruto said
"I got it." Ghost said nodding before he walked off as the four watched after him
"Keep a close eye on him." Naruto said in Japanese getting nods
"What do we do? I aint with killing James." Benard said as everyone frowned
"Do we let him walk?" Casey asked
"Maybe, after this Lobos shit settles down. We give him the club and let him live." Naruto said getting shrugs
"The cop that locked up Kanan is being looked into for corruption. Only a matter of time before K is free." John said getting nods from everyone
Later, Truth
Naruto walked above the dance floor to Kantos, "What's up?" He asked
"The DJ brought back up dancers who are not in the contract."
"Just keep the party lit, we pay the agreed-upon price and whatever he is paying his dancers to come out of his cut.' Naruto said getting a nod
" Listen about Simon Stern." Kantos began
"Stern stays the hell out of here.'
" But with his backing, we could go international."
"Before or after he takes the club for himself?' Naruto asked causing Kantos to frown before Naruto saw James talking to Angela, "Shit." He cursed before he saw Tasha glaring, before she stormed off, "That aint good."
"Boss?" Kantos asked before Naruto placed a hand on his shoulder and compelled him
"Every time you see James with that woman you tell me, you will not remember this or reveal yourself to James." Naruto said looking away down to Angela and James who hugged, "Fuck!'
Pulling his phone and texting the group chat of his wife and his cousins and their wives he texted, "Ghost reunited with Angie."
"Aw shit!" They all replied
Dawn, Brooklyn Warehouse
Ghost walked up to Tommy as they watched their third in command distribute untraceable guns to their dealers, "Julio tell them to check the guns?"
"First thing I said to him." Tommy replied watching, 'Think it bothers them they don't know who they're working for?"
"You think the fry cook at Burger King knows the fucking CEO? They wouldn't know that motherfucker if he walked in and asked for extra ketchup." Ghost said causing Tommy to chuckle, "Don't forget. One of these people might be the reason Cruz got jumped in the first place."
"Yeah, well, let's hope he or she is afraid to get shot." Tommy said
"We'll know soon enough." Ghost said before Tommy held a Glock out to him
"Our soldiers are strapped now. We should be, too." Tommy said only fir Ghost to co time to look at him, "All this shit going on, how am I gonna explain to Tasha I let you run around with no piece?"
Ghost sighed and took the gun, "Let's get 'em out on the street. Time to make the doughnuts."
Later
Tommy collected the money for the Club and slipped in some dirty money for the deposit. Ghost had a lunch date with Angela where they talked about the past, while Naruto had a meeting with Shane, Bonnie's new professor
With Angela
Angela with books and papers walked into the room as her boss looked at her, "Was just about to send out a search party for you. You're never late."
"I know. Sorry. Lunch ran long." Angela said looking to the woman who frowned at her, "Frankie, I know you went out on a limb for me. I'm not gonna blow it."
"If you do, it's both our asses." Frankie said before a man who looked like a douche walked by,
"Congrats on the promotion, Valdes."
"Thanks, Saxe." Angela said as Saxe walked to his seat as Angela's secret lover walked in,
"You're on this now?" Angela asked
"Just got assigned. If I request reassignment, they're gonna ask why." The man said with a shrug before the meeting started
"I'm Francesca Lavarro, chief of criminal division, along with my deputy, A.U.S.A. Angela Valdes. I'll be leading this task force.
Our goal is the prosecution of one of the most notorious drug traffickers in our hemisphere, Mexican national Felipe Lobos. Lobos's brutality and vicious nature are well documented. For everyone's safety, please remember the task force is top secret. And no one, not even your families, can know the name of the target of this investigation."
"Agent Medina, can you please bring everybody up to speed on Lobos's movements in New York this week?" Angela requested causing a Mexican man to stand up
"Lobos landed at Teterboro Airport on Tuesday. Once a year, he comes to New York to meet with his banker and his American attorneys. Now, he did make those meetings, but I followed him to a third, to meet this man Carlos "Vi bora" Ruiz. Leader of the Due Loco set of the Soldado Nation gang. We learned that Lobos has one single distributor for his product in New York City. Two, he's not entirely happy with his distributor. And three, Soldado Nation and Ruiz are too low-rent for Lobos. They're not organized enough to distribute his product. And he was not shy in telling Mr. Ruiz, he did not give a fuck!"
For some reason that was considered funny to the men in the room,
"We have permission from the Mexican government to detain and prosecute Mr.
Lobos if we can build a compelling case against him. We can't touch him unless we know we can put him in jail. Who can give us the names, places, and dates we need to convict Lobos? His New York distributor.
Unfortunately, we have no idea who that is.
We do have a profile of the type of criminal we're looking for. He's a highly organized individual with an established network in place. He already knows how to move money through the system, is violent enough to control his territory, but still has something to lose something Lobos can threaten to keep him in line. So why is Lobos looking to replace him? What could've gone wrong? There must be some element out of his control. Whatever the reason, this problem between Lobos and his local guy is exactly what we need to exploit, because the man we're looking for is in grave danger from Lobos and from us.
We can give him a way out, but only if he decides to take it." Angela said as everyone looked over the profile
One of the dealers was on the elevator and on her phone when she saw a couple get onto the elevator and saw a tattoo that sent red flags so she tried to leave but was grabbed and turned into a knife slash to the face before her eyes glowed yellow and she clawed the man's face, causing him to scream as he fell before she drew her gun and shot at the woman who revealed herself to be a vampire and vamped away the dealer seeing her pink sneakers,
Quickly the dealer called Julio, like she was supposed she as her face stitched itself back together,
