Chpt.4
My mind was thinking about the Bolero family when I got home.
What does Apollo know about them? I thought to myself. I walked from my room to Apollo's. I then nocked on his door.
"Come in!" Apollo called. As I entered I saw Apollo on the computer playing with Wizard. "What do you want?" he questioned, keeping his eyes on the computer screen.
"What is the Bolero Family?" I questioned. Apollo sighed.
"They're not good people." he replied.
"Well that sums everything up." I said sarcastically. Apollo knew 'they're not good people' wasn't enough information for me.
"The Bolero family was a notorious crime family in Gotham about seven years ago. They practically owned Gotham and could get away with anything. The leaders name was Mario Bolero. Unfortunately for him he was shot and it seemed like the crime family went with him," he answered.
"Who shot him?" I asked.
"Apparently it was Mario's own bother, Luis Bolero."
"But why did Luis want to kill his own brother?" I questioned. I could tell Apollo was getting irritated and wanted to get back to concentrating fully on his video game.
"What else? He wanted his brothers power." Apollo answered.
"But how…" Apollo cut me off.
"You have questions, go to the Bat cave. I'm sure the computer has tons more information than I have." Once Apollo finished the sentence, he went back to helping Wizard as King Author.
"Brothers." I muttered. I walked out of his room and went down to the Bat cave. I read some articles and was shocked that there was more behind Mario's death. It said that although Mario was a notorious crime lord, he also had a wife, and a daughter. Luis used that to an advantage. Luis killed Mario's wife and kidnapped his daughter, Shannon, leaving a note saying he wanted more than a million dollars for Mario's daughter's safe return. Mario, loving his eight-year-old daughter, forced himself to comply. Mario went to an abandon warehouse, where the trade would take place, with the money. Once inside Mario saw his daughter bound and gagged to a chair, with Luis behind her. Mario handed the money over, and Shannon was untied. Then Luis shot Mario. Luis disappeared under police radar, while Shannon was never found.
"I wonder what happened to that little girl." I said to myself.
