///The Grand Escape///

We got off our plane and checked into a hotel. Then, we made our way to my room to discuss the mission. Aspen immediately jumped on the bed and we all rolled our eyes at her childish antics.

We put our luggage down and Santiago took out his laptop to start hacking.

"What information do you have on Juliana Regan?" I asked Santiago after a few minutes.

"Juliana Regan: 63 years old, no children, has depression and takes depression medication. She has been the Boss of the American mafia ever since she was 18 years old. She is the sole reason why the American Mafia was able to grow and prosper to become the number 1 mafia over several decades." Santiago said as he read the information off his laptop.

"Hmmm...do you have any idea where we could possibly meet her?" I questioned.

"Yup! She usually goes to Reyna Nightclub on Friday nights." Aspen inputted as she glanced at Santiago's laptop screen.

"So that means she might be there tonight." I concluded.

"Whoa, Miss Granny is still going to the nightclub at 66? I mean like...get it I guess."

Aspen let out a small giggle, her ice-blue eyes sparkling, "You are so funny babe."

Vanessa sent her a flying kiss.

We entered Reyna Night club at 11 p.m. Vanessa and Aspen were wearing matching red dresses while Santiago and Ricardo were wearing tan pants with white dress shirts.

I on the other hand was wearing black pants with a black dress shirt. My sleeves was rolled up, exposing my tattoos. Since were the top 5 assassins in the Devil's Den, we were allowed to go outside during missions. So on several missions, the gang and I often made trips to the tattoo shop.

Although are tracking collars were exposed it looked like part of our outfits and blended in well. Since the collars were so thin, it looked like a regular choker.

We were all wearing matching jewelry and we looked sexy. Many people had to do a double take when they saw us.

"Let's split up to find Juliana Regan." Riccardo suggested.

"Sure, but Aspen is coming with me," Vanessa said with a wink as she dragged a blushing Aspen away to the dance floor.

Ricardo also dragged Santiago off somewhere, leaving me alone.

'Well shit.' I thought.

I shrugged my shoulders and made my way up to the fourth floor. The bouncer stopped me and said, "Sir, this is a restricted area. This area is for V.I.P. only."

"Well lucky for me, I am one." I smirked as I showed him my black card.

After inspecting my card for several moments, the bouncer let me in.

I looked around.

'Hmmm...this seems to be the floor where they do BDSM. Nice,' I thought as I saw some naked people walking around or crawling on the floor with chains and collars.

'Well shit, just my luck. Miss Regan is here on this floor.'

I remembered how she looked and I can tell instantly that it was her. I made my way over to her. I noticed that she was playing with two female subs and her cold gaze fell on to me.

"Let's talk."

"Why should we?" Juliana countered back.

"I have some interesting news."

This got her attention as he motioned for the two subs to go away.

After I told her the gist of it, she sat for a while in thought.

"How old are you boy?" She asked.

"14." I replied.

She rubbed her temples in deep thought, "Alright then. I'll help you guys. I happen to be looking for someone to become my heir. I think 2 years is enough time for you to become the next Don."

I smirked, "Perfect."

"Oh...and call me grandma."

"Okay so everyone knows the plan right?" Vanessa asked for the millionth time.

"Yesss!!!" Aspen shouted.

"Just making sure. Let me repeat it. So we pretend to kidnap Grandma and right when we are about to kill her, someone mysteriously blows up the entire warehouse, killing all of us in the explosion. Before this, we unlock the tracking collars and it will be destroyed along with the warehouse. Obviously Cruz will investigate and find out that we all died. With that, we are free!"

"Free!!!" Aspen chimed.

"Babe." Vanessa said.

Aspen blushed and said, "Sorry. I got to in to it, hehe."

"Okay now, let's go kidnap Grandma." Vanessa replied with a grin.

---

After we 'kidnaped' Grandma, we pretended to stab her but suddenly stopped. Then we untied her and we took off our tracking collars with the key we stole from Cruz. We tossed the collars and left the warehouse so Santiago can edit the footage.

If Cruz were to check our location, then he will just see us still in the warehouse. Then, with the help of Santiago, we finally exploded the warehouse. Aspen was given the rights to press the button.

BOOM!!!

The entire warehouse explode and at the same time we were able to destroy our tracking collars.

The Assassins' of the Devil's Den were officially no more.

[2 Years Later]

"Boss, grandma wants us to collaborate with the Russian Mafia Heir." Santiago, my underboss said.

"Whatever." I said, not really listening to what he said which I knew that I will soon regret.

"Okay, I'll inform grandma." Santiago said as he took his leave.

After two years of fucking training, I finally became the Boss of the American Mafia 5 months ago. Training was absolute hell, I'd tell you that much.

When Juliana took me in, she also took in my four friends. She adopted Vanessa, Aspen, Santiago and Ricardo however she did not adopted me because she was afraid that my family might find me.

The reason why she was able to adopt the four was because their family did not want them and that was why they sold them to the Devil's Den so she had no worries adopting them.

I understood this and did not take it to heart. In my heart, she will always be grandma. She gave us a warm and loving home and for that, we are forever grateful.
