It had been a week since I kicked Cat out of my car in the middle of nowhere. She hadn't come to my house and she hadn't come to the club. I hadn't heard anything from her. Billy came in every night this week. He'd try to chat me up I'd turn him down and get one of the girls to take his order. He always came in on his own and stayed for nearly two hours then left. I hadn't seen anyone from his gang all week. But that was all about to change.

It was half one in the morning and I had been here since ten o'clock this morning I was just about ready to crash. The club was packed it was a Saturday night after all and Ejdj was working tonight, he was the most popular Dj in all of Boston and he worked for me. I was walking back to the bar when I saw them walk in. Darley and his crew. There was eight of them and Angie and Cat was with them. He lead them, he strolled through the place like he owned it. God I hated him, he made me sick. How could any woman want to be with him? All he wanted from them was one thing and after he got it he'd throw them out before you could say good-bye! I had heard the stories. That he was a god in bed, that he could have any one he wanted that he had gone from top lawyers to junkies. One thing was certain he had to have a few kids around the place you couldn't sleep with that many woman and not get at least one of them pregnant. Poor kids is all I could think. I was woken from my thoughts by some-one calling my name. I looked up to see Jen one of my top barmaids calling me. I walked behind the bar.

'Yea what is it?'

'We're a bit short handed' She nodded her head towards the Darley's. There was no one to serve them. Part of me wanted to run and get someone to serve them but I was Murphy, I was the leader of the most feared gang in nearly all of Boston. I could face these. I walked over to them. Mr. Darley had a big grin on his face.

'What can I get you's?'

'I think it's about time we had a little chat don't you'

'I don't see anything for us to talk about now you tell me what you want or you get the fuck out of my club it's up to you' He leaned in close so that no one else could hear us.

'What if I told you it was you I wanted?'

'I'd tell you to go fuck one of your little whores cause there is no way you're laying one fucking finger on me'

'I could make you scream without using my hands' His smirk grew even bigger.

'Ain't goina happen, like I said hell would freeze over before you'd get your dick inside me' Now I had a smirk on my face and he frowned. Then suddenly he stood up and walked away. Well it looked like he was walking away when really he was walking around to my side of the bar. I walked over to the entrance that he was almost at.

'What the hell do you think your doin'?' I put my arms out trying to stop him from getting in. He didn't say anything he just lifted me up and throw me over his shoulder. I started kicking him and telling him to put me down. Jimmy walked over to us.

'Hey put her the fuck down and there won't be any trouble' but Darley didn't like that he took his gun out and drove it into Jimmy's gut.

'Listen hear you little fucker me and my boys are goin back there to have a little chat with miss Murphy here and if any of you fuckers try to stop us I won't fucking hesitate in putting a round of fucking bullets through you o-k?'

'Ok' Jimmy stepped aside and let Darley carry me into the back. His boys where following close behind. He threw me down in my chair. I straightened up and looked at all of them.

'You can get out of here' I pointed to cat.

'Why should I?'

'Because you ain't part of the Murphy gang or the Darley gang that's why!' I was standing up now screaming.

'I thought we were family? I thought you cared about me?'

'Don't you fucking dare throw that back in my face! I've done fucking everything for you if it wasn't for me you'd still be living in that fuckin tiny apartment with your ma and da and you'd probably have a baby on your hip! So don't you dare blame me for this! Know get out!' I had to take a deep breath after that, I never showed my emotions that much in front of people I usually tried to keep my cool but Cat was pushing me to fare. She didn't say another word she had tears in her eyes when she left and I suddenly felt a pain in my chest. I cared so much about her and I had just caused her pain. But I had a job to do, I had to deal with Darley. I couldn't show him that I had a weakness I had to show him that I was strong that I couldn't be broken. So I let my little cousin go, I let her go and cry on her own.

'What do you want?'

'To fucking get this deal started' I walked over to my cupboard and took out the maps of Boston. They had different colour lines on them to show where one gang's territory started and another ones ended. I spread it out on my desk. Every one gathered around it.

'Everyone else get out we don't need you all here' I looked at Darley and he nodded. He knew this was the only way to get what he wanted so he went along with it.

'You heard her get the fuck out!' he screamed at them.

'Do you want me to tell them where to go ain't no point in all of us sittin outside doin fuckin nothing' Bodie asked.

'Yea whatever just make sure none of them fuck up' Bodie nodded and left. It was just him and me. Hopefully this will be over soon.

'Looks like you got your fucking wish just you and me baby'

'Some one kill me' I whispered.

Three hours later and we were still arguing about it. My heals where off, hair was tied up in a loose bun and all I had on was a black string top and skinny jeans. Billy was smoking his tenth cig and had kicked off his boots and coat he was sitting there in his lose jeans and black t-shirt. We had drank a bottle of jack and had started our second. We weren't even close to being drunk.

'We have to divide it somehow we can't just have every one fucking running around every where' He just wasn't getting it we needed some law and order.

'Look if we fucking share all of it and then fucking tell everyone where to go everything will be fucking fine you gotta fucking trust me'

'Trust you don't make me fucking laugh you're the one working for your fucking father, does he even know what you're planning?'

'What fuckin difference does it make?'

'It makes a hell of a difference you think bones is goina let you walk away with all his money?'

'It ain't his fucking money its mine ok its fucking mine I'm the one who tells those fuckers what to do I'm the one who built the Darley fucking empire I'm the one they fucking come after when they want to take us out, I'm the one with the fuckin bullet wounds and what the fuck has that fucker got? More and more fuckin money' Darley was standing up screaming now, His arms where flying every other way. He had just opened up to me told me what he thought of his bastered of a father and I hadn't even asked him to. What was I suppose to do? Was I meant to hug him and tell him everything would be ok? Was I meant to open up about my past and the two of us could talk about how we ended up here? What was I meant to do? I didn't care about him and what he'd been through I didn't want to know this was business simple as we didn't need to know each other's past. We needed to know that the other one was goina do their job.

'No one will know your boys around here they might not trust them, we could introduce them slowly maybe that would work but one thing's for sure I'm not having our meeting place being that mental hospitable. It's either goina be here or at my house' I looked up at him to see he was staring at me. He looked shocked, he probably thought I was goina ask him more about his dad and his feelings or something but instead I brushed it aside and pretended he hadn't opened his mouth. But part of him looked relieved as well.

'What? You goina stand there all day or are you goina say something?'

'Fine I need a list of your guys and I need to fuckin meet them'

'So I'll introduce you to my guys you introduce me to yours you make sure everything is runnin smoothly in the south and I'm giving you an extra bit to look after and I'll look after the north you need me or any of my guys you contact me and the same goes for me and it all becomes Murphy Darley territory you mess with one of us one mess with all of us deal?'

'Darley Murphy and you got yourself a deal'

'Murphy Darley I own more territory your gaining way more from this then I am'

'Fine you got yourself a deal, now how you wana seal this' He winked at me. I put out my hand.

'Like business men, a handshake and a glass of jack' the look on his face was not a happy one. I was smiling, if he thought it was goina be that easy he was gravely mistaken. Just as he was about to put out his hand in walked Jen.

'Sorry am I interrupting something?'

'Jen you know the rules you knock first'

'Sorry I just wanted to know what time you're planning on shutting up at?'

'There's people still out there?'

'Yep, come on its Saturday night and Ejdj's in the house last time he was here we didn't close till nearly six'

'What time is it now?'

'Five'

'Ok I'll be out in a sec tell the girls to stop serving' that's the one good thing about being feared. No one dears report you to the cops for being opened past your hours. Truth is one night we were opened till 12 the next day. That was some night. I held my hand out again and Darley shook it.

'Ok you know where the door is' I put back on my heels and let my hair down. Had to look good for everyone. I walked out of there without looking back at him.

Billy's P.O.V

A hand shake that's all I got. She didn't even look back when she left. I walked back to the bar where she had headed to. The place was still packed; this place must be a gold fucking mine. I saw her heading up to the stage where the Dj was. The minute she stepped on it every started clapping and cheering.

'Well well well! Will you look who decided to come out and party yall!' the crowd started cheering even more.

'Hold up hold up! I didn't come out here to party'

'What you come out here for then baby girl?' he put his arm around her waist and started rubbing her side up and down.

'I came out here to tell you it's time to go to bed' she winked at the crowd and they all cheered, they were all standing there waiting to see what would happen next.

'Baby girl before you take me to bed I got a song for you' he put on this really sexy song and Murphy fucking shocked me. She started dancing. She was bumping and grinding against this dude and everyone was cheering for her and everyone started dancing again. She was the sexiest creature I had ever seen. Watching her was better than being in a stripper club. I wanted to be that fucker. I wanted her before but know I had to have her I needed her. The song ended and she stopped. She took the microphone again.

'I'm sorry everyone but it's time for this bad boy to go to bed and by the looks of things there's a few others that are ready to' she winked again and everyone cheered they loved her and who wouldn't she was sex on legs and her moves whoo-heee!

'Yall of been great tonight I'll be back soon and maybe next time I'll get my baby girl up here earlier' they all cheered again.

'Hey remember safe sex is the only sex!' everyone screamed the last part with her. The lights went off on the stage and there was some music playing quietly as people started to leave. I walked over to the bar where the girls were getting ready to leave.

'Hey what's the fucking story with them two?'

'Who?' it was that girl Jen.

'Murphy and that Dj dude'

'There is no story Danny found him a couple of years ago back when he was nobody she gave him a job everyone fell in love with him, became a big hit, now every club wants him, he plays all over the place but all Danny's got to do is call him and he's here, he does it for free most of the time to'

'They ever get together?'

'You kidding me? No he's got a girl plus Danny wouldn't do that to Rob-

'You still here?' I turned around to see Murphy.

'Jen here was telling me about your Dj'

'Eddie, yea he's great always gets the crowds and you can work with him, she tell you his dad use to be a Dj back in the day, that's how he came up with the name, he's Eddie junior so one day someone said ej the Dj, Eddie put it together and its stuck ever since' That's the first time she's ever talked to me normally.

'I'm heading out girl ok? The vip area's clean'

'Its fine thanks Jen for tonight you did great'

'When I tell everyone to get out that means you to Darley' she walked around telling everyone to get out. I slipped up to the VIP area so she wouldn't notice I was here. When everyone was gone and Murphy had locked the door I slipped down stairs. She tied up her hair and started put on some music, it was some band. She started cleaning up while singing along to it. She had a pretty voice. She still hadn't noticed me. Her back was to me.

'You goina offer me a drink?' She turned around quickly and pulled a gun on me from where I don't know cause she moved that fucking past. I put my hands up in the air.

'Whoa now all I wanted was a drink'

'I told you to get out, this isn't goina work if you don't listen to me' She tucked the gun into the back of her jeans. I lowered my hands. She sighed then said,

'Fine one drink then your gone do you hear me'

'Fine one fucking drink then I'll go' I never said how long it would take me to get throw that one fucking drink. She got me a glass of jack.

'Now drink up and get out' I took a sip of it.

'So when did you get your fuckin tattoo?'

'Your unbelievable' she walked off and started collecting beer bottles and cleaning up any spills.

'What time you fuckin start working at?'

'Ten'

'Fuck' it was nearly half five now and she was still running around cleaning up. Why didn't she make the others do it? Anyone could see how she built up an empire, by working hard, being a bitch and trusting no one.

She started singing along to the music again and swaying those gorgeous hips of her's. Gorgeous was a word I never fucking used but it was the only fucking one I could think of to describe this girl that and beautiful.

'What time you goina fuckin stop working at?'

'That has nothing to do with you'

'That's where you're fuckin wrong; I gotta make sure you get home ok'

'And whys that?' she had walked back to the bar to clean up the glass's she had collected.

'Cause I fuckin promised Cat I would, girls been fuckin worried about never stops fucking bitching to Joe about how fuckin worried she is, why? I don't fucking know'

'Of course you don't, your Billy Darley you don't care about anyone do you?'

'You don't fuckin know anything about me, your too busy fuckin judging me, well guess what sweetheart we're the fuckin same'

'And how the fuck do you make that out?' She had both her palms down on the table, she was standing right in front of me her stance was strong she was showing me she was not to be messed with. She was so different she was standing up for herself answering back showing me that she didn't even want to be my equal she wanted to be higher, she wanted to be in charge and it was kind of turning me the fucking on.

'We like to be the fuckin one in charge, we're both fuckin feared, can't fuckin trust no one, always some fucker after us, we both got a little idiot we gotta fuckin look after can't have that, what do you chicks call it?'

'Sole mate'

'Yea whatever the fuck that's supposed to be' There was silence between us, I could tell she was thinking over everything I had said looking for something she could disagree with but she couldn't, everything I had said was true, it was fuckin scary, this chick fuckin scared me the way I kept fuckin opening up to her.

'Doesn't make us the same though, deep down inside we're different, deep down inside there's that little thing that separates us'

'It's time you faced the fuckin truth you ain't no fuckin different then me you fuckin think your better but you ain't, you run the same shitty assed streets I run, your able to take a gun and kill some fucker without blinking just like me but you know what your fuckin right we are different I'm able to say who I fuckin am I'm Billy fuckin Darley, gang lord baby' I stood up and had my arms stretched out saying look at me bitch. She lend in closer.

'But here's the question Darley, you might be able to say who you are, proud even but are you proud of what you do because there is a difference trust me there is' She started walking to the back room. But then turned her head to look back at me.

'I'm able to say who I am Darley but I ain't proud of what I do but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do' And with that she walked into the back room. I didn't follow her instead I downed my jack and left. She knew that's what I was going to do she knew that her last statement would shut me up, it would get rid of me. Truth is what do you say back to that? I was fucking proud to say I was Billy Darley but was I proud of what I did? Truth was I hadn't a fuckin clue. In this world you didn't question that sorta shit you did what you had to do, you did it to survive. Was I proud of it? Was I proud of the fact that I got my fucking money by feeding addicts by sucking them further and further into this fucked up world they were in, by robbing and killing innocent people, by putting desperate girls on the streets and making them sell them fuckin self's? I didn't fucking know.

Please leave a review I would really love to know what you all think!
