CHAPTER SIX

At Alfred Apartment,

Tracy and Diana were playing a game on Tracy's phone, laughing and chit chatting, when the door cracked open.

Larry staggered in, it's obvious he's drunk. The girls stopped their games.

Due to his inability to provide for the family, he got extremely frustrated and went into drinking. From there, he started gambling in hopes of making it big and supporting his family.

But that turned into a really bad habit and he started doing it regardless of how much he needed to provide.

He also got violent but wasn't able to lay a hand on any of them because Daria, a black belt in taekwondo, flips him to the ground every time

She doesn't accept his violent ways but doesn't want to hurt him either so she settles for flipping him to the ground each time he acts out

"You..," he stutter, pointing his finger at Diana

He staggered towards them in an attempt to hit them, but Diana was quick to flip him to the ground, like she always does.

"Stupid drinker." She sneered.

"You can continue flipping him Every Time, he might damage his spinal cord." Tracy complained.

"You like him hitting you right?," Diana asked sardonically.

"No..but you can't continue…

"But he can continue drinking and hitting you." Diana cut her off.

Hide out…

A figure walked into the old cracked wall building, the wall was peeling and the ceiling tiles were stained with paint damage from a dilapidated room.

He puts on a hoodie which covers his head, only his back view is seen as he approaches the gangs of thug- looking boys.

"Boss!!" They all hail him, immediately he joins them.

"You comply." His voice echo through the Spartan room

"You will see the light of the day." The gang chorus.

"You disobey." He said.

"You find yourself six feet above the soil." 

"Redhead Empire"

"We're the devil advocate"

"We have a mission tomorrow but before then, Kennedy, where are the traitors?" He yelled.

"Captain, godfather said we should leave him in the cage untouched." Kennedy said.

"What did you just say?" He gripped his neck

"That's.. what god..father said.." he stammered.

"You dare you tell me that." He growled, still holding his neck.

"I'm sorry boss." Kennedy pleaded in tears.

"Bring him now!!!" He clamored

"Godfather, go with the cage key." He replied shakily.

"Find a way to bring that bastard here or you want to…

"Be six feet in the soil." The other gang chorus, finishing his statement for him.

"But godfather..

He pointed the gun at him, Kennedy became mute immediately.

"Do my wish." He barked.

"And what's your wish???

A voice said from the horrible entrance.

"godfather." They all stood and bowed slightly.

"You enjoy going back on my words right??..

"Why did you say he should be preserved instead of chewing him raw?" He yelled

"Not ever meat you chew." The godfather said.

" Then, what's it used for??..

"Snake!!!!" godfather Don yelled.

"Don't question me and listen to my order." 

"Now, Kennedy, Lotus and Snake, prepare for tomorrow's mission." godfather Don said.

"Alright father."

"This time we have to be careful, you all heard of Oephus' death." He said

"Yes!"

"After the mission, we are going to plan on how to bring those animals, father and son down." He grin mischievously.

"That's the aim father." They chorus

"Love that, Redhead Empire!" He roared

"We're the devil's advocate." They chanted loudly.

"Let's have a little party." Lotus said, bringing out cognac from his bag.

"You all can go on with the party, Snake met me in my car." godfather Don said, leaving them to their celebration.

"Yeah!!" They screamed happily

Kennedy starts the expensive alcohol and pour in each cup, they'll go wild on their drink.

Next day 

At crownstar company,

Numerous reporters and cameras were already waiting in front of the company, when Martin's car halted, and he came out together with his mother.

Camera did their Jonas as they started to walk to the entrance which is barricaded with a yellow ribbon.

He began receiving flowers when they got to the middle and gift from the staffs

WELCOME BACK HOME BOSS was demarcated with the ribbon.

Till they got to the ribbon, the gift kept coming. His secretary passed him scissors.

Together with his mother, Martin cut the ribbon, a thunderous clap followed by the staff,as the camera began clicking.

As he step into the office, he was surprised to see word being arrange on the floor "WELCOME TO CROWNSTAR COMPANY, WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE YOU AS OUR BOSS"

The office seems to pulse with life and excitement.

"Congratulations and on behalf of our staff and supervisor, we would like to give you a warm welcome. With your great experience and dedication, I know that we'll accomplish amazing things together. Once again welcome to the CROWNSTAR company boss." The secretary speak delicately

"Thank you so much my wonderful workers." Martin said.

"Now, like get to work, after work today, we're gonna have a big welcome party for our boss." Humble, the secretary said.

"Thanks so much for this, looking forward to seeing how effective we'll work together." Martin said, before leaving for his office.

His pristine office was impeccably clean and Serene, without a single dirt in the place. His office was opaque in more ways than one, reflecting the exact standards he held his employees to.

He sat on the luxurious office chair, and placed his leg on the table leg, resting back his head.

He picked the phone cell, and put a call through the secretary.

"Hello Humble."

"Hello." Humble reply on the other end.

"Where's my P.A"

"We just got a new P.A, and she's to resume work today."

"Why isn't she here by now?"

"She will..oh! She's here already."

Martin cut the call immediately.

He was arranging the files on the table, when the door flipped open but he didn't bother raising his head up.

"Good morning sir." Tracy said politely.

"Is this the time you're to resume on your first day of resumption." Martin scolded, as he talked, he straightened the stuff on the table, making sure everything was square and properly spaced.

Tracy scuttled off when she heard the sound of the familiar voice.

"And where did you think you were going!??

Martin looks up at his table to see the less expected person.

"You!???..

"Fire me boss." Tracy Burst out.
