Disclaimer I own nothing 50 shades

The next morning at the oldest safe house the Greys owned. Christian and Carrick were enjoying a hot cup of coffee waiting for the others. They were only waiting about 20 minutes before the first knock on the door came. It was Apollo and Tommy. Christian shook his cousins hand and gave his Uncle a hug as Carrick did the same. With very straight faces, Carrick and Apollo started to talk. After all the older men will be running the meeting.

"Carrick I was hoping, I would not get the call in my life time."

"Apollo I was hoping, I would not have to make the call in my life time."

It did not take long before James Bruno and his son Jimie and then Frank Esposito and his son Frankie Jr to arrive. After they said their hellos, the men got down to business. After all Carrick and Christian were the only two that knew why the call was made. Carrick stood up to address the room.

"I want to thank you all for coming in such short notice. I know the hope was that no one would ever have to make or receive the call. But a threat has come to light for my family and I believe its only a matter of time before it comes after yours.

That made everyone in the room sit up, even straighter.

"As you all know that we have been looking for the Longo boys for the kidnapping of my youngest Granddaughter. With the strength of all the women before her, she escaped those assholes. Badly injured but with enough strength to make it to her sisters. Its been a hard couple of weeks but she is almost fully recovered."

.

All the men in the room had a look of pure relief on them. They all cared about that girl very much.

"The Cobra made his very first trip to the states, to help find the Longo boys. His men found out that the Lucchese family maybe working with them. An last night it was confirmed that Lucchese was in fact hiding the Longo boys. We caught one of the Longo boys last night , so we have only have three left to find. An we have to move on the Lucchese family and move fast. Because they would know by now that we have have one of the last four remaining Longo boys."

Apollo cleared his throat to speak. As you see no one but the Greys, Russos and Lamberts knew what happened to the youngest Longo boy.

"What do you mean one of the last four Longo boys? I thought there was five brothers."

Carrick turned to his son, to speak. After all his son was one of the two that took the lead the night the youngest Longo boy took his last tortured breath.

"After Sophia got to Danny's house, the youngest brother showed up at the Gates of my house with another video. In no uncertain terms, I told my men to get the fuckin asshole to the warehouse. Or the next bullet that comes out of my gun with be put in Dean's head. My men pointed out that we could use him to advantage, but if you saw the state the Longo boys left my daughter you would want revenge also and fast. Even if it was just a little bit. Well everyone got a piece of the fucker. But in the end Danny and I took a page out of my Godfather's book and cut the mother fucker up piece by piece, still very much alive. Then we shipped the pieces to his brothers. After our families where safely at the safe house we choose to send them to."

It was safer the less people, hat knew where the family was hiding out. But the news also made the men in the room actually laugh out loud a little. Witch felt kinda nice, with knowing whats to come. After Christian finished speaking it was Carrick's turn to speak again.

"Now that all the facts have been given it's time to get down to business. I've been thinking long and hard since I made the call yesterday, An I think I know why the war over 50 years ago, lasted so long."

That made all the older men in the room sit up a little straighter, They can remember it like it was yesterday, how bad it got. An their families where so much bigger then back then. They really can't afford to have that happen again. They have so much more to lose now. So all the men where interested in what Carrick had to say.

" I know that this packed is meant to be kept between the ones in this room. But I think our problem was just that. We didn't have enough hands on deck. Now I'm not saying to tell everyone. But I do think we need to include the the under boss in our families and maybe one or two blood family not made. ."

All the men in the room started to think long and hard about what Carrick just said. All the men knew, that their fathers and Grandfathers would be rolling over in their graves at the simple idea of giving up a long kept family secret like this. Then after that they really thought about what Carrick was truly saying. An the more they thought about it, the more they understood what he was saying. Apollo spoke up first.

"My Old man would be pissed off, but I don't give a flying fuck. My Grandson TJ's wife is given birth to my first Great Grandchild any day now. We can't let a war happen, now or ever. We have so much more to lose now, then over 50 years ago."

All the men took another minute to think. Then one by one all 8 men agreed that this would be the best thing to do to keep their families safe. An Apollo added that they should let Marco Lambert Sr in on everything. After all when Carrick and Mac put their heads together, they never fail. At least that's the way Apollo put it. Carrick not telling most that over the many years that Mac and him been friends , they had have some epic fails. But this was not the time to think about that.

Then the men rolled up their sleeves, they needed to come up with a plan as fast as possible. The sooner they have a plan, the sooner this will be over. After almost two hours, they had a game plan that all eight men where proud of. One by one the men and their sons made there leave. Each men wishing the others luck on their part of their plan. Then all that was left was Carrick and his son.

"Dad?"

Carrick was putting on his coat as he turned to look at Christian. An he saw something in his son's eyes he has not seen in a long time. It was uneasiness that only comes out when, he can't come to terms with the conflicting thoughts in his head. It was one of the only ways he shows his vulnerability.

"Yes Son."

As he said this he brought his not so little boy into his arms. Some thing he has not done in a very long time.

"Don't worry my boy, we will stop this war long before it gets out of hand. Our family will be home, before you know it."

Christian looked at his Dad and smiled. Then he put on his coat and they left for the grove. It was decided on the way home, that Carrick would tell Mac. As Christian tells his brothers and Danny.

About an hour after they got to the Grove and the Guys and Danny got back. Carrick took Mac in the kitchen as Christian took the rest into the study. "What's going on Carrick?"

Mac could tell his best friend and brother had something big on his mind. An it was a lot more then the up coming war. As the seconds clicked by, Mac got more nervous. After what felt like hours, Mac spoke.

"Just fuckin say it Carrick. It can't be as fucked up as the upcoming war."

Carrick chuckled a little, he could never keep anything from his brother in everything but blood. He has no clue how he kept the balance pack from him.

"I have never been able to keep, anything from you."

"Never"

"Well almost anything Mac. When I took over for my old man all those years ago, he shared a secret with me. A long kept family secret, passed on from Father to son. An only kept between the two of them."

Mac was truly interested now. But he would not pressure him in to telling the secret. After all he also has a long kept family secret, he has not told Carrick. So all Mac did was kept his mouth shut and let his brother talk. An Carrick proceeded to tell Mac everything. At the end of his long winded speech, Carrick finally looked Mac in the eyes. At it felt like years to Carrick, before his best friend and brother spoke.

"Hot Dam, when do we put the plan into play. An who else knows about it."

Carrick smiled for the first time in days, as he pulled Mac into a brotherly hug.

"Christian is telling his brothers and Danny now. No one outside those in this house is to know. Not even the Cobra."

"Understood, now after that long speech . I would say you earned yourself a beer brother."

Mac walked over to the fridge and opened to tall boys for him and Carrick.

Meanwhile, Christian was finishing up the meeting with Elliot, Danny and Jason. They were just as understanding as Mac. After his brothers and Danny left his study, Christian made two phone calls. The first was to the Cobra. They may not be able to tell him about the balance pack, but he is a big part of their plan. So after he hung up with the Cobra, all they could do was wait for his call sometime tomorrow. Then Christian locked the door to his study and called the love of his life.

"Princess?"

"Yes Christian"

"How are you and the kids doing baby?"

"We are holding our own. But I'm worried about Sophia."

"What's going on with my Little Princess?"

"With everyday that goes by, her anger is growing. She is trying to hide it, but I know. Danny maybe your clone, but Sophia is not far off with her anger and temperament Christian."

Christian pinched the bridge of his nose. He was worried about this. He knew just how bad her temper can get. He knew she would never let it explode around her Mom and the others. But like himself and Danny, they turn that anger in on themselfs. He needed to get them home fast.

"I understand Princess. We have a plan in motion and with any luck you all will be home by the end of the week."

"That's great Christian."

"I will call our Little Princess in a little bit and talk to her about what is going on. It may help with her anger. I love you my Princess, my everything."

"I love you Christian, my everything."

An with that they hung up and Christian went to find his Dad and Godfather. He joined them for a cold one. Along with his brothers and Danny. It was a quiet evening that night. All of them, had the same two things on their minds. The upcoming war and their family. Around 9:30 Christian said his good nights. All he told them was that he had an important phone call to make.

He made it to Ana and his bedroom. He changed in to his pj bottoms. Ana normally wears the tops, if she gets cold. He smiled when he saw the bottle of his Ana's perfume that his Princess left for him, on his dresser in their walk in closet. He was so tired last night he just slept in his clothes and used her pillow. He hid his cologne in her bag before she left. This has been a long standing tradition between the two of them. He got comfortable on Ana's side of the bed and grabbed his phone. An scrolled through his contacts and found his little Princess and clicked it. It only rang once before Sophia picked up.

"Dad is everything ok? No one got hurt, did they? Did you catch the…."

"Catch your breath Little Princess. I will answer all the questions, I can. But first how are you feeling?"

This kinda pissed Sophia off. She did not want small talk, she wanted answers. But she would not show it. Like she would not show her anger in front of her family. It was a real problem that her father and sister still deal with. But of course they have gotten kinda better over the years.

"I'm good Dad my ankle is not stiff anymore. Val says I can start kick boxing again, when we all get home."

That made Christian smile. He loves kick boxing with his girls. He just prays to god that this plan works. It has only been a day and he his missed his family so much.

"That's great baby girl, I can't wait to get my butt kicked by you."

That made Sophia laugh for the first time, since before she was taken. Witch was perfect, because that is what Christian wanted.

"No one has been hurt. I give you my word."

That made Sophia breath a bit easier. Knowing that her family was ok. Now Christian will tell her a little bit of there plan.

"Your Grandpa Carrick and I came up with a plan, to end this before it starts. An get you guys home by the end of the week."

"That's great Dad. What's the plan Dad?"

That put another smile on Christian's face.

"We are going to take out the Lucchese Family in a big display of power, that should send the Longo boys running like the cowards they are."

"That's great Dad. How are you guys going to do it?"

Hearing his daughter, talk like this made him so happy. He could hear less of his daughters anger and more of his baby girl.

"That my baby girl you will have to wait and see. I give you my word, you will be the first text I make before it all starts and when we finish it. Then you can see it for your self on the news.

Chapter 6 Take them down one by one

Christian stood in the hotel bedroom of Jessie Lucchese. The youngest son of Luke Lucchese. Jessie was sleeping with his body wrapped around one of the most appalling hooker's he has ever seen. He signaled to Danny to drug the hooker, as he walked around to the head of the bed. He pulled out his gun and as he was about to place it on Jessie's temple , he pulled a gun out from his pillow and shot the gun.

Danny pulled her gun and shot the fuckers hand. Making him drop his gun. It happened so fast Danny, could not even tell where the 1st bullet hit. That is till she heard her Dad swear.

"Dad are you ok?"

It took Christian a few seconds to answer his daughter.

"I'm fine Danny, the fucker just grazed my shoulder."

With that statement Danny spoke into her ear piece.

"I want the fuckin clean up crew in here, within five seconds of us leaving this room. The Don's blood better not fuckin dry."
