“We need you to finish taking over Miami. They own the whole of Colombia and have allies all around South America. We need the numbers Miami affords us to go to war against them in order to make sure we come out on top with minimal casualties on our side.” B nods and bites the corner of his bottom lip as starts to think up a plan.
“Okay, we need to get on a plane and get the fuck to Miami so I can lock that shit down, then we go to war,” he declares.
“What about the kids and the girls?” Gage asks.
“We send them all to Aspen,” Bishop says leaving no room for argument. Knight, Gage, Rook, King and me all chuckle. “What?” Bishop snaps irritated.
“If you think for a second your sister, wife, or sister-in-laws are getting on a plane you are out of your fucking mind. The only way Carlina is leaving is if I drug her and that isn’t going to happen because my girl can track my ass to the end of the world just to kill me.” I roll my eyes when all five of her brothers smirk. I flip the fuckers off. We stayed holed up in Bishop’s office until later that evening. By the time we all come out, I’m fucking tired, hungry and ready to call it a night. King, Knight, Rook, Gage, Luka and I all make our way down to our houses. I smile at the sight of all the front porch lights on, even Luka’s light is on.
“Get yourself a fucking girlfriend so my wife stops doing shit for you!” Rook forces out, earning a laugh from the rest of us.
“Dude, my sister is always going to worry about me. Plus, who says I don’t got someone?” That has all of us slamming to a stop and facing Luka, who frowns. “Why are you all looking at me like that?”
“I thought you were gay.” Luka reels back as if Gage smacked him.
“Why the fuck would you think that?” he snarls.
“Well, you never have a girl over and it’s not like we have ever seen you with anyone so I just assumed,” Gage defends with a shrug.
“Why the hell would I bring a girl back here to see all your ugly faces?” he says, and brushes past us, continuing on to his house. The five of us stand here and just watch him. Just before he enters his house he turns back to us and flips us off. The five of us laugh at his expense.
“He’s so full of shit,” Knight rasps out.
“Ya think?” Rook tacks on.
“There is no way he is getting laid, he doesn’t have the fucking time,” King adds.
“Speaking of getting laid…” I let my sentence trail off as the four of them turn to glare at me, causing me to laugh. Even after all these years, they still hate knowing I fuck their sister nightly.
“You disgust me!” Rook grits out as he storms off toward his house.
“You’re a real fucking prick,” Knight bites out as he follows Rook toward his own house. King and Gage just stand there shaking their heads with smiles on their faces.
“I’m too tired to defend my sister’s virtue, night fuckers,” King says as he follows after the twins, heading home.
“Your sister lost that shit years ago, bro,” I call out. King just flips me off over his shoulder. I shake my head and laugh as Gage and I slowly head back to our own homes.
“I have a bad feeling, Vin.” I pause and turn to face him, the dreadful look on his face indicates he isn’t fucking with me.
“What do you mean?”
He looks around as if to make sure no one can hear what he is about to say. “I have this feeling that something bad is about to happen. I can’t explain it but I feel it in the pit of my gut.” I eye him warily for a beat. Out of all the Murdoch brothers, he is the one I am closest to.
“What has you on edge about this?”
He shakes his head and scrubs a hand down his face. “Have you ever had a feeling where you know you’re on borrowed time?”
Frowning, I shake my head. “Can’t say that I have.”
“I feel like my time is about to run out, Vincent. I feel it, like this war will be the end of me.” I reach out and place a hand on his shoulder and give him a gentle shake making sure he can see the seriousness in my gaze.
“I will never let you fall, brother. I got your back, always. You will come home to your wife and daughter. I’ll make fucking sure of that, you hear me?” He nods but I can see it in his eyes that he doesn’t believe a word I’m saying. I’ll just have to prove him wrong because there is no way I am leaving my best friend behind.

After getting something to eat, I head upstairs and go to the spare room to shower so I don’t wake Carlina. After I finish up, I head for my bedroom but pause at the sound of voices. My bedroom door is slightly ajar so I peek inside to see my wife and daughter sitting on the bed with their legs crossed under them.
“I get it. What you want is different to what I want, Mom.”
