“We. We will find out what it is, as in me and the boys. You three stay out of it. Billy is dead because they wanted it so, only one group of people could have truly wanted that and it’s not Franco.”

“Fucking right. So it’s the Fontaines.” I jump in.

“Nick, you know what this means.” He gets up in my face, serious as fuck.

I growl at him.

I know what it means alright. I do.

The Fontaines are serious motherfuckers no one wants to mess with. There’s four brothers who are bosses and a large family who rub shoulders with the government. People high up that could fuck us up and screw everything we have.

They’re what we call neither here nor there in the underground and everyone knows to stay the fuck away from them or you and yours could end up dead. We’ve seen it happen. Our uncle and cousin were killed because they shit all over Fontaine plans.

We’re powerful as Giordano’s, but even I know when to admit we’re not as powerful as them.

So fuck yeah I know what this means.

Great. Just fucking great.

“So, I’m supposed to just sit down and watch while you do whatever you do and Tommy dies?” My voice comes out showing more emotion than I would like.

He rests his hand on my shoulder and sighs. “Nick, trust me. Calm yourself. This is above you and we don’t want to start a war. He said Fontaine, it could be any of them. We have to be careful. I will find out what I have to, and do what I must. I’ll work from the ground up.”

I bite down hard on my back teeth, seething. How the fuck am I really supposed to stay calm?

Who would?

The Fontaines have been sneaky as fuck since forever and there was something they didn’t want us to know, something that involved Tommy.

Vincent walks away without an answer from me and it pisses me off.

I’m left with my two brothers though who get me the most.

I look to them and find Gabe already watching me.

“Nick,” he begins. “Just let me know when you decide to do whatever it is you’re going to do and don’t fucking run off by yourself.”

“And let me know what I should say when you ask me to cover for you,” Salvatore smiles.

Yes… they were already there in thought with me.

Vincent could do what he wanted and do things kosher, all his way. Tommy is my best friend. I would be the same if it was any of my brothers. No way am I going to just cool off or cool down.

No, no, no…

“Thanks guys. I absolutely will.”

We walk off together but I’m still seething.

I’m seething and I seek distraction again. I think of my angel doll, with her perfect body and perfect everything. I can’t wait to touch her tonight.

She’s what I need right now to calm me. I do need to calm so I can plan and figure things out in my mind. I need her for the jolt of wildness she gave me yesterday.

When seven comes I’m still seething from the shit from today.

But I don’t know what enrages me more. The day, or the fact that she didn’t show up.
