"Come on," Quinn smiled, pulling back. "Let's head in."
I reached for the door but Quinn slammed her hand onto my leg. "Wait!"
"What?" I looked at her in slight panic. Her mouth was opened in shock, her eyes wide as she stared towards Oreo's front entrance. I followed her gaze, and immediately found what she was looking at.
Blair was walking out of the restaurant, laughing…
With Grayson fucking Parker.
We watched with shared horror as she got into Grayson's car, the two of them not noticing us. As they drove off, my concern increased. Not because her hanging out with them was not a one-off… but how happy she looked with him.
He already had her wrapped around his finger, and she didn't even know it.
Chapter 4
Thelastweekofschool before break was on us before we knew it. I was almost happy for a break. Not so much from the school work, but the need to juggle several blazing infernos while trying to live a double life.
I was called back into HQ for a gang meeting. I was genuinely surprised they even bothered to include me, but apparently even the bottom feeders were required to attend.
The top asshole himself sat in the meeting room, in his obnoxious chair waiting for everyone to take a seat. He called it his throne, like he was some king. That's the type of person Harmon was. He considered himself untouchable, royalty… but all he was, was a royal pain in the ass.
"Listen up, pricks. I don't have all day. We are going to be moving into phase two of our operation."
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. I had been under the impression that only the inner circle knew the ins and outs of the operation. Apparently, that was not the case. It appeared to just be me that had been largely left out.
Harmon stood up from his chair, his brown hair polished back. He was a mafia try-hard, doing his best to impersonate The Godfather. Even with his tall frame, he never could quite nail that air of authority or fear. The truth was, he was a coward, hiding behind Lucas and his lackeys. He was brutal, sure. But only when he had his army by his side.
That was probably the only thumbs up I could give my father. He wasn't afraid to be on the front line, putting himself out there. He had no fear, no sense of mortality. Whereas Harmon did whatever he could to be sheltered and protected. At the end of the day, he only cared about his ass and he would happily let everyone fall and burn if it meant saving himself.
"The Black Spades have involved themselves in our operation. We knew this would only be a matter of time. But it means we must strike harder and faster. This is our gateway to taking over their territory. We must kill the girl. I expect nothing less than success." He looked around the room, his brown eyes narrowing. "These failed attempts will not be accepted. If the Spades don't kill you, then we will."
No one said anything, but I could see a few people give concerned glances to others. The most worrying part was these people were older members. The Argento kids sat with eyes full of insanity, lusting for blood.
We were raising killers, moulding the youth. And they loved it.
My eyes landed on Gid, who looked at me with a grin. Harmon's son was as ruthless as his father. No… he was as ruthless asmine.
Next to him was his sister Rina, her green hair sticking out like a sore thumb while she popped a piece of bubble gum. We were the second generation, purely born and bred to take over our fathers.
A shaky hand raised in the air. Harmon looked at the older member with annoyance.
"What, Burgess?" he snapped.
"Sir, why are the Spades involved? Isn't this a bit risky? Is the 18 year old child really that important?"
Harmon sighed, whipping out his gun. He pointed it at Burgess, firing a shot without hesitation.
I watched as the man slumped over, his body hitting the floor with a thud.
"Because I fucking said so," Harmon hissed, ignoring the dead body on the floor that was pooling out blood. "Anyone else want to question it?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Good. We'll be sending in my prodigies and their circle. I want eyes on the Black Spades at all times. Other operations will continue as normal and I want full updates. Now, fuck off."
The sound of chairs scraping on the floor filled the room as everyone stood and starting filing out. I stood, ready to exit when Gid stepped in front of me.
"Well, well. Look who's here. Having fun at your elite school?"
