Mafia Queen

Chapter 3

-Willow P.O.V.-

The car ride to the underground would be about a 45-minute drive since we live a little way from town. So, on the car ride I decided to go over the plan again with Blade and smooth over all of the details.

“So, what did your contact say to you about what is going to go down when we get there?” I asked Blade. He looked over at me and sighed, uh-oh.

“Alright when we get there, we need to park at the gate entrance then only us two will be able to go inside. Once we are inside, they will meet us at the front door to take us to the boss of the underground who will then make sure we are telling the truth. Also, I think they want to change the deal a little.” Blade stated. Change the deal? What kind of change, ugh why do people need to make things so difficult?

“What kind of change would you like us to make? I mean dang we are already handing them a perfect deal, so why aren’t they wanting to jump at the opportunity?” I said with a bit of annoyance in my voice since this is not going smoothly like I wanted it to. Why can’t people just let things go the way that I plan in the first place?

“I think they may want us to deliver Marco to them instead of them coming to us to get him.” Blade said.

“ARE YOU FUC*KING SERIOUS?! How do we know that once we bring Marco, they won’t try to take us down as well? HUH? How do we know that we can trust them?? I have built this Mafia sh*t of respect and trust; I am known for trust. They are not known for trust. They try to take everyone and everything down that they can.” I yelled/calmly said to Blade. Okay, now I am pissed. Like how do these people just expect me to bring Marco to them when they wont even let us drive past the damn gate?? Also, none of my men can come in with us like fuc*king hell.

“Sis, I know, okay? Don’t worry we just need to hear them out and see what they say. I am sure we can come to an agreement without having to start a war with them since I know you see this as disrespect. Just calm down, we are almost there.” Blade all but said in a calming voice thinking that will work for me. I just nodded in response because I needed to get ready for this meeting and killing them needed to leave my thoughts.

“Madam Willow and Sir Blade, we are here outside of the gate like you requested.” Our driver said to us,

“Thank you. Just wait for us here.” I said to our driver as Blade and I were getting out of the car. We walked up to the front gate to where two guards stood waiting for us. I guess they were making sure that my driver was actually going to stay where he was. Ha, they should know me by now. I am always a woman of my word.

“My driver is staying right there, but if you don’t believe me, then waste your time by standing there watching him.” I all but said with annoyance in my voice to the two guards there. That got their attention as they both looked at me then nodded. They requested that we follow them so they can lead us to their leader. Making sure to add in there that they meant no disrespect to me when they were staring at my driver. I nodded respectfully to let them know that it was okay. It is all about respect within this world.

The two guards then walked us to the front door then led us inside leading the way for us. The place was kinda big for being underground. It was a warehouse that was in the middle of town. Honestly, no one would really be suspecting a thing if a bunch of cars were coming and leaving, same with trucks as well. Everyone thinks this is just another factory or business. Once you walked inside, you were met with an open floor plan. As we walked through, I could tell that this underground group was a pretty nice group. They were not some hoodlums that just threw themselves into this world, but they actually owned part of this world. At this moment now I understand why they didn’t really trust the plan. I was known as one of the Queens of our world and if I wanted to take them down I could without any problems. So, they probably feel threatened with me just offering them this deal. Hopefully, we can meet in the middle about this plan. The two guards led us up some stairs that lead to a huge office in the middle of the warehouse then they opened the door for us to walk in.

Once we were in “Ah, Welcome to my underground operation! It is a great honor to actually meet you two.” The underground boss said as he held out his hand for us to shake. Blade shook his hand first then I followed after him.

“It is great to meet you as well. I am Blade and this is my sister, Willow. Also known as the Mafia Queen.” Blade stated to him as we all sat down. Blade and I sat in front of his desk while the underground boss sat in his seat behind his desk. I nodded once Blade was talking.

“I am Val. I am the boss of the underground, and don’t worry I know all about you two. I have nothing but respect for the both of you, especially the Mafia Queen herself. Now I am not going to beat around the bush, I would like to change a few things about the plan. There is nothing wrong with the plan at all, but I must admit it isn’t every day that you get something served to you on a silver platter.” Val stated making sure to not use a disrespectful tone.

“I completely understand, Val. Now let me put your mind at ease while I tell you the reasons for handing you a silver platter. Number 1: This is not a trick whatsoever. You have never disrespected me, and the underground is quiet. You guys do not stir trouble which is what we want within this world. Number 2: Marco lied to me. I don’t tolerate being lied to. It is the biggest form of disrespect to think I am dumb enough to not find the truth. Number 3: I found out that Marco beats his kids. Coming from a childhood of being beaten then that is a sore spot. Number 4: I am sick and tired of cleaning up Marcos' messes. He doesn’t understand this world, and he is creating too much noise. Number 5: He used his son instead of being a man and coming to you himself. If I did something, then I will either fight my way out of it or walk and give myself up like the Queen I am. But I am not dumb or stupid enough to do anything that would get in something like this. Marco acts on emotions which is not what you do. Xavier doesn’t deserve to pay for his fathers’ mistakes. Marco needs to be a man and pay for them himself.” As I was talking, I was surprised by Val because I do not think he was ready for me to have an actual reason. I always have reasons for the things I do, and I always state my reasons. I am not one to beat around the bush since honesty is the best thing to do. Once I was done talking Val nodded then cleared his throat before he spoke.

“Honestly, my respect for you has grown. Anytime I ask someone for reasons or an explanation they can never give me one. So, I thank you for living up to your reputation. Much respect. Now after hearing your reasons, I would like to make a small change. Instead of meeting at your house for us to grab Marco, could we meet somewhere to do the exchange? I would suggest here, but I do not want you to feel like we are trying to set you up. Xavier has stated that he wants to see us kill his father. I do not blame him since his father tried to get him to pay for his deeds.” Val stated.

“I understand now why you wanted to change the location to here. Xavier does deserve to see his father get killed, I agree. We will get Marco then meet by the front door of your warehouse to trade off then you can kill Marco on your property. Marco deserves to be killed on your property. Do we have a deal?” Val looked at me surprised that I agreed to having Marco brought here. Blade also looked surprised.

“That would be amazing. Thank you so much, Willow.” Val said with nothing but sincerity in his voice.

“Okay let me make a phone call and I can have Marco here within 20 minutes.” Val nodded. I pulled out my phone in front of him to make my phone call. I have nothing to hide and making this phone call will prove to Val that I am not setting him up.

Once one of my guys answered the phone “Hey, I need you to go pick up Marco and bring to my location. Once you arrive at the gate then call me to let me know. Bring Marco gagged and tied up. I do not want Marco thinking that this is a friendly visit. He deserves to be treated like dirt.” My guy on the other side of the phone said okay then hung up.

“Okay, now we just wait for my guys to call me when they are at the front gate. They were already waiting at Marcos place. I always have plans and eyes on the ones that disrespect me.” Val nodded at what I said then we started normal conversation to pass the time. Val also asked me some questions about what I do about certain things. I can always share my knowledge with people who want to learn. I mean you may think that is something you are not supposed to do since you give away how you think or how you see things, but I am always on a different level from these other guys. After about 15-minutes I got the call to tell me they were pulling up to the front gate. Val stood then Blade and I followed him out of his office to the front gate. Once we reached the front gate there were my guys sitting in the car waiting.

Once they saw me, they got out then went to the trunk to pull out Marco. Marcos hands were tied, and his mouth was gagged. He looked around frantically trying to piece together what was going on, but he froze while turning pale once he saw me. Then the front door opened again with Xavier walking out. Gah, Xavier was a good-looking man, but I swear I have met him before. Shake it off, I need to get back to the business at hand. My guys dragged Marco over to Val to which Val looked at me to get my okay to which I nodded to let him know that Marco is all his. Val grabbed Marco roughly and dragged him over to the front door. I then cleared my throat to which everyone looked over at me.

“Marco you are here to pay for what you owe to them. I also handed you over to them because you disrespected me. You lied to me saying they kidnapped your son when you actually gave them your son for the payment you owe. I am not here to bail you out this time. I am done with you and what you stand for. Val here is going to take you and he can do whatever he wants with you. One last thing, say hello to my father in hell.” As I spoke, I got closer to him till I was right in his face. I said the last sentence with nothing but venom in my voice. Marco paled and peed himself from fear. He knew the underground was going to kill him and I just handed him over like he was trash. I backed away then nodded to Val. Val pulled out his gun then made Marco kneel before he shot him in the head, Marco fell over bleeding. Blade, Val, and I all nodded at each other then went our separate ways with Xavier following Blade and I. Blade then got in the front seat while Xavier and I got in the backseat of our car. Our driver got on the road to go back home. I’ll get Xavier a car to take him back to his home when we get back to my house. I was not going to take him somewhere as if I was in a taxi. Plus, I had a lot of work I needed to do once we got back. This Marco mess is finally over and now I no longer have you worry about his messes. I no longer have to bail him out. Thank goodness. What broke me out of my thoughts was Xavier clearing his voice; he was looking at while he did that. I just raised an eyebrow at him then he began to speak….
