“Who did it?”
“Are you hurt?” we all ask at the same time. She shakes her head and pushes through us and rushes to my bed-side table, grabs the remote and flicks the TV on turning it straight to the news.
“Channel—”
She cuts me off. “Shut up and listen, Royal.” She turns the volume up and the three of us creep in closer to see what has her panties in a twist.
“Just in, the plane that alleged mafia boss, Bishop Murdoch and his brothers, King, Knight, Rook, Gage and his brother-in-law Vincent Murelo, were traveling on from Miami to New York has gone down.”My heart stops.“Police and fire were first to the scene and sources say the bodies of the six passengers have not been located, leaving the other four crew members injured and in critical care. The captain and co-captain didn’t make it. Now over to Jenny who has local police chief with her. Jenny.”The camera switches over to another woman who stands with the wrecked plane at her back and a man in a police uniform beside her.
“Thank you, Kelly, I’m here with police chief Lawrence. What can you tell us about the missing passengers?”
“We’ve found five sets of tire tracks that come in one way and out another. We believe that the six passengers have been taken and that this isn’t some random crash. We believe this flight was targeted—My cell ringing pulls me away from the TV. When I see my mom’s name, I quickly answer it.
“Mom, what the hell is going on?” I snap instead of a greeting.
“Royal, it’s your father–” My mom is one of toughest people I know and she isn’t scared of shit, she can make my father bend to her will with one look. Hearing the fear in her voice has me clutching the phone so tight I fear I’ll snap it. When the others crowd around me, I put it on speaker phone. “The plane went down and they–”
“I know, we just saw it on the news,” I say cutting her off.
“You and your cousins need to get on the next flight out of Utah and come home.” The four of us exchanged a loaded look before I ask.
“What the hell is going on, Mom, tell me the truth.” My voice is cold and emotionless. Whenever I panic or worry, I’m somehow able to shut all my emotions off and feel nothing. It’s a blessing for me and it will be a curse for the fuckers that took my father, I’ll kill them all.
“I just received a video, your father and uncles have been taken by a cousin of mine I didn’t even know I existed.”
“I thought grandpa killed all your family?”
“We did as well, son. Apparently he missed one and now he has come after us.” Hearing her sniffle and know she is crying kills me to not be there with her.
“We’ll kill the son of a bitch for thinking he could ever fuck with our family,” Chaos snarls and the rest of us hum our agreement.
“That’s all well and good, except the bastard is the governor of Miami!” I shoot each of my cousins a look asking if they are ready for what is about to happen. Each of them nod.
“We’ll be on the next flight out,” I growl.
“Royal?”
“Yeah, Mom?”
“I won’t survive losing him,” she sobs. My mom loves my dad with every beat of her heart, their love makes me never want to settle for anything less. They have set the bar so high that I fear no woman will ever reach it.
“You won’t have to, I’m my father’s son and I swear to you, I’ll burn the fucking city to the ground until I find the bastard who dared to fuck with us. We are the Murdoch’s and we never fucking give up!”
