Chapter 3: Enjoy the Night

(Y/N)'s car drove right past a fresh familiar corpse on the ground, he suddenly patted his hand on the driver's shoulder as they pulled into the Wilted Rose's parking area.

(Y/N): "Get that guy and dump him into the Bay will yah?"

Driver: "Yes sir Mr. (L/N)."

(Y/N): "Thanks, here's $50."

Albert stepped out first and opened his umbrella, holding it beside the left side door where (Y/N) was sitting. (Y/N)'s kingsman shoes clacked against the wet pavement as the two made their way to the front door. (Y/N) tilted his fedora down as Albert followed close behind making sure his buddy's new suit stayed dry this time.

Albert: "Come on can we go any faster? I'm getting soaked in this rain and it's only getting worse."

(Y/N): "Don't get your panties in a bunch we're almost there."

He joked, Albert groaned as the pair were now only a few feet away from the front steps. (Y/N) and Albert ascended the stairs and eventually they reached the front door. (Y/N) opened it and quickly stepped through, rubbing his shoes against the rug to prevent loud squeaking noises.

A young man in a waiter's uniform quickly stepped up to the front counter.

Waiter: "Ahh, Mr. (L/N)! It's a pleasure to have you in here again."

(Y/N): "The pleasure's all mine, I have a reservation under the 'Vincents'."

Waiter: "Quite so, they have already entered, the Ashford's and the Von Geistenherz' have also arrived."

(Y/N): "Very well, I hope I'm not late to the party."

Waiter: "No sir you are just on time."

Albert shook off his wet suit and the umbrella he carried with him as (Y/N) straightened both his collar and tie one last time before he walked into the rented space for the night. Three of the other families were already there and conversing, with the (L/N)s the only ones who weren't present.

The adults were all in a corner smoking and discussing, their enlarged cigarettes already clouding almost the whole room. Their sons and daughters though, they were all talking to one another on the dance floor while a nearby band played Jazz music. Smooth and rhythmic, (Y/N) grinned and strode towards the small group of fellow youngsters. Just enjoying each others company, as (Y/N) walked past the adults he heard a man's voice. Mr. Frederick Von Geistenherz, kingpin of a huge illegally run salt mine that made him and his family hundreds of thousands of dollars. On top of that he commands a ring of hitmen that eliminate any prying eyes that look into his sleazy, salty life.

Frederick: "Hey, it's (L/N)'s boy! Guten abend meine Junge. How is ze drug business?"

(Y/N): "It's as fine as it gets."

(Y/N) addressed the man, not even bothering to look over at him. The group of 4 teens he was approaching noticed him; Anna Von Geistenherz daughter of Frederick, Elena Ashford daughter of Harrison Ashford and the siblings Tony and Nooria Vincent, children of Darryl Vincent, A corrupt African businessman who runs most of the illegal trading docks that dot the city's coastlines.

Elena: "Well look who's arrived."

Tony: "Hey, (Y/N) what's up!"

(Y/N) chuckled to himself.

(Y/N): "If it's all the same to you folks, I'm doing extremely well this fine night."

Tony: "Haven't seen you in a while, how's the drug business?"

(Y/N): "Had to bag in a guy tonight, I'm late because of him. Almost lost 5,000 dollars because of the little snake."

He disappointingly said, shaking his head.

Anna: "Very vell, ve're not holding it against you. Ze Mafia life is a life of ze uncertainty."

Anna inquired, Nooria nodded in agreement.

Noorie: "Yes, it is a hard life. But a life with hardships always hold the best rewards."

Tony: "I agree with you sis, (Y/N) you don't have to regret anything about protecting your family's wealth. We here all understand that. That's how Mafia works."

(Y/N) and the others nod, Albert finally enters with his jacket slung over his shoulder just then, Anna saw him and rushed over to him.

Anna: "Mien liebe!"

She cried out, hugging Albert. The two of them kissed in the full view of everyone in the room. Anna and Albert were already together way before, but tonight they saw an opportunity to spend a log romantic moment together. (Y/N) and Tony both cheered for him, Tony tipped his bowler hat towards the two and gave them a thumbs up.

Tony: "You got it Big Al!"

(Y/N): "Take it easy on 'Frau Anna'!"

(Y/N) and Tony both laughed.

Albert: "Shut up you asses."

Albert jokingly laughed out, holding Anna's hand tight as the two began to slowly dance to the rhythmic swings of jazz.

(Y/N) looked at Tony, raising his eyebrows a bit. Patting his shoulder with his hand.

(Y/N): "Got a girl yet?"

He asked, lighting his cigar he snuffed out earlier.

Tony: "Yeah, she's a nice one. Really nice on the eyes, I'm actually thinking of marrying her. Not yet of course, my dad told me not to take things too fast..."

(Y/N): "You do you, ain't no shame in loving someone. Keep that in mind..."

Elena: "But what shame is there in love anyways?"

She walks up to (Y/N), smiling. He admired her in her dark dress, short curly hair, white gloves and leather boots. He took her hand, bringing it up to his lips and giving it a gentle kiss before lowering it for her.

(Y/N): "Elena, you're even more lovely than last time I saw you."

Elena: "My what a gentleman..."

(Y/N) gave her a sly smirk, his usual confidence and ego easily showing.

(Y/N): "Might I have a moment with you?"

He asks, she nods. Holding out her hand (Y/N) takes it and gently leads her to the dance floor. Amidst the smoke and smooth jazz of the night the two interlocked hands and began to slowly dance.

Elena: "Enjoying the party?"

She asks, giggling a bit.

(Y/N): "Much more now that we're together. Does your father know about us?"

Elena: "He has no clue. Not yet..."

She mischievously sneers, (Y/N) utters a low chuckle as the pair continued their waltz together. Swaying side to side as their hands gently grasped one another's. Elena and (Y/N) had already known each other for awhile. Their relationship beginning with a meeting between the (L/N)s and the Ashfords. A debate over territory that ended in a mutual co-operation agreement. But through all this, (Y/N) still a younger child at the time, found himself unable to pull his eyes off of Harrison Ashford's daughter. She had for the whole time noticed the then shy boy's wavering gaze towards her and immediately knew of his heartfelt feelings.

She gave him a kiss on the cheek before the (L/N)s were about to leave, (Y/N) remembered this for years as they met again multiple times where they kicked off their relationship together. Until came the time, (Y/N) confessed to Elena not just his full honest love... but his plan for them both to become the most powerful people in the country. Which involved a vast criminal empire, (Y/N)'s vision got Elena's attention almost immediately.

The plan? Accumulate enough weapons through secretive deals with the Ashford's unmarked weapon trafficking system which was Elena's part in it. Distribute all weapons throughout smaller crime gangs throughout the city, which will escalate conflicts between them, make even more money for the (L/N)s and raise crime rates to unprecedented levels. Thus will prove the mayor's 'incompetence' where the next phase begins...

(Y/N): "Excellent my love, Operation Alcatraz is proceeding just as I planned."

Elena: "You're always so over the top when you're talking about your plans."

She snickered. (Y/N) smiled back and felt a bit embarrassed.

(Y/N): "Sorry, it's just so satisfying to see months of planning in place. And we... are almost there.

Elena: "Ohh, exciting..."

She eagerly said.

(Y/N): "But... we have a slight problem on our hands."

He regrettably said.

Elena: "Oh, that's unfortunate..."

(Y/N): "It truly is, but my men are taking care of it as we speak."

It was just then, (Y/N) heard a small ring in his pocket. Exclaiming in disappointment, he swiftly apologized to his partner as he brought out his phone. Leaving the dance floor and even the room quickly. He passed by his father who had just arrived.

(F/N): "Ahh, (Y/N) ho-"

(Y/N): "Can't talk father, I have businesses to tend to. Maybe later?"

He quickly strode out of the Wilted Rose flipping out his phone and placing it to his ear.

Jeremy: "Hey, Boss. It's Jeremy, we found where the 'Eggs' are located. The Downtown Slicks Gang has them..."

(Y/N): "Good, I'll gather as much men as I can and head to your location. The Downtown Slicks shouldn't be underestimated, we kill them on sight if need be and get the shipment of 'Eggs' back."

He whispered angrily into the phone, Jeremy's voice came out as almost a shuddering reply.

Jeremy: "Right sir..."
