Gunshots were heard and bullets were fired.

I hid behind a brick wall and rolled a metal ball on the floor. Using it as a kind of reflector, I could see the nearest guy and stuck my head out for one second to shoot him and his body dropped.

Twentieth person down

Yea I was keeping count

"I heard the sound of Damien's signature machine gun and looked down at my glock.

I headed towards the back and began to shoot whoever I saw

21

22...

26...

Shit they saw me

I quickly hid behind the crater as two other guys began to shoot rapidly at it.

I took a deep breath before throwing a stone towards them distracting them for one second I shoot both of them and they dropped dead on the floor.

I ran towards where they had come from hiding behind a brick wall as I reached a passageway, I held my gun my five senses as alert as ever.

I heard ruffling ahead of me and pointed my gun towards the sound when Viktor came out and I lowered my weapon.

He was my father's right-hand man and he was Russian he had betrayed the Russian mafia after they killed his family because we captured him.

"pochti vse mertvy, tol'ko nemnogiye sbezhali" He said and I nodded. (Most of them have been killed sir, only a few escaped)"

"Round everyone up we're going back" I ordered pulling at my wrist. When I was avoiding a bullet earlier I had twisted my wrist with the way I landed on it.

It hurt but nothing unbearable.

....

We arrived back at the warehouse and I headed towards the Davis mansion.

I heard a voice calling to me while the rest of his men headed back to their courts.

I arrived back home in no time.

"Theodore what happened to you?!" My mother asked like it was the first time I had come home bloodied and bruised.

"Did you succeed?" My father asked.

"Yes father" I replied and he finally smiled at me.

"Welcome home son come join us for dinner" he said and as I walked over to sit down my older brother Alex stood up and left.

I supposed I was unsightly to him.

My father basically ignored his presence as he refused to join the mafia leaving me the second son to take on the duty.

I couldn't complain and it wasn't so bad.

"Alice! get the first aid kit and call the doctor!" Mother ordered.

"Oui madame" Alice the head maid answered and went to carry out her task.

"Mother I am fine" I assured.

"Why then is your wrist hanging?" She asked.

"It's not it's fine Mother" I replied grabbing my hand with the other one.

"You broke your wrist?" My father asked.

"No father it's Nothing, just a little scratch" I said and he stood up pushing his chair back, he walked over to me.

He pulled my broken hand away from my other hand holding it and pressed unto it I suppressed a groan and maintained eye contact with him.

He had thought me to never show any sign of vulnerability no matter how bruised I was.

"Are you sure?" he asked pulling at the hand making it hurt a lot worse.

"Yes, father" I replied and he stared at me for a while before releasing my hand.

"Grace" he called and the chef walked out.

"Yes Mr Davis" she replied.

"Get dinner for Theodore he had a very exhausting day" my father ordered and grace went on to perform her task.

"The doctor is here madame" Alice said and he was led in by the butler.

The doctor smiled as he arrived.

"Hello Theo I heard you were hurt" he said walking towards me when he noticed my father.

"Ah Mr Davis good evening to you" he greeted.

"Good evening Mr Rowland , Theodore seemed to have broken his arm" my father said looking at me and I dare not break eye contact.

Mr Rowland sat beside me and pulled at my hand way more gently than my father.

"Hmm it seems to be a fracture but nothing too serious" he said.

"I do not have my equipment here shall we head over to the hospital?" Mr Rowland asked.

"Of course Mr Rowland let me have dinner" I said and the man smiled in understanding.

"Follow him now Theodore and you are unsightly to see at the moment" my father complained.

"Get yourself cleaned up all the blood on your body is disgusting, get your hand treated before you return" my father ordered.

"Yes father" I said and my mother smiled seeming happy with the decision.

Wasting no further time I followed Mr Rowland as we left the house to his hospital which was not far from here.

I found my sister sneaking back in and it was funny she thought nobody knew about it.

I looked back at the house as I entered Mr Rowland's car.

All my father did now was sit at home or behind his desk and give others sending me out with his men threatening me that I would never take over if I didn't prove myself worthy.

"Everything okay Theo?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Thanks for your concern, everything is fine Mr Rowland. I said ignoring the grumbling of my hungry stomach.

Pulling out my phone I checked for any notification scrolling to find Hayley's contact.

There was no call or message

Did she dare ignore me?
