#nr 1

Henry and Malcom flinched as they heard voices inside the office.  

It seemed like one of the others under Luca’s control messed up.  Now Huuga was taking it out on Luca.  At first they were with him inside the office, but Huuga send them out, for a ‘private conversation’ with Luca.  

All of them knew what that meant.  And no one liked it.

Silence fell and after a few seconds the door opened and Luca came out.  The two were just into to see the blood before Luca wiped it away with back of his hand.  

He handed them a piece of paper without a word and kept on walking.  

Silent Luca was not a good sign. 

“What do you want us to do with this?” Henry asked carefully and glanced at Malcom.  The other guy just shrugged.  

“Call them” Luca said coldly “They are coming with us”

Malcom and Henry swallowed.  That did not sound good.  Luca was in a really, really bad mood.

“Um...” Henry started “Luca, Sir?”

“WHAT?” Luca snapped at him.

“What are we...  going to do?” 

“You’ll see” Luca growled as he walked down the stairs, hands balled into fists.  He let out a shaky breath.  If he snapped now, he was going to make a mistake that he cannot afford.

So he picked up speed, hearing the two behind him cuss.  Ignoring them he, continued down.  

This was not going to be a good day.

Jason sat at the table, arms crossed as he watched the man in front of him.  “That’s bullshit” he said leaning back.  

He could all but feel Henry and the others behind him.  

The restaurant was empty, as per Huuga’s orders.  This was one of his many investments.  

“And how would you know that?” the man asked. 

Jason looked at him with a raised eyebrow.  “Because I’m not an idiot” he said annoyed “Now.  Let’s start at the beginning.  You took something from my boss, killed two of my men and now you think we will not retaliate against you?  That’s just stupid”

The man studied Jason for a moment before he also sat back in his chair.  

“Your boss thought it was good idea to send a hand full of his people to sort this out, letting a brat do the talking” he said with a sneer.  

Jason smiled sweetly at the man as he leaned forward on the table.  

“My dear Tomas” he said slowly “Do you know which one of Mister Huuga’s lieutenants are considered the most dangerous?”

Tomas narrowed his eyes at Jason.  

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about the list” Jason said “The one that ranks all of the mafia and other organization’s lieutenants.  From most dangerous to least.  And don’t pretend that you don’t know what I’m talking about”

Tomas tapped his fingers against his arm.  “Get to the point, boy”

“My point being, you don’t even know who you’re talking to” Jason said “My name is Luca Montgomery.  I am currently at the top of the list”

For a moment there was complete silence in the restaurant.  

“What do you want from me?” Tomas asked, a slight tremble in his voice.  

Jason smiled.  “I want what you took from my boss” 

Tomas’ eyes flickered through the room before he reached into his pocket and slid a thumbdrive towards Jason, but kept his hand on it.

“This” he said “But I want compensation for this”

“Alright” Jason said, hearing the group behind him gasp “I’ll give you 50″

Tomas’ eyes widened and he quickly pulled the drive back.  “As soon as I see the money, you can have this” he said.

Jason motioned for one of the other guys that came with him.  The man stepped forward with a briefcase and placed it on the table.  He nodded at Jason before stepping back.  

“You came prepared” Tomas said.  

“Always” Jason said, tilting his head slightly.

Tomas took the briefcase, opened it and glanced inside.  He nodded and closed the briefcase quickly before throwing the drive to Jason, who snatched it out of the air.  

Jason glanced at the drive before holding it out over his shoulder for Henry to take.  He got to his feet pushing the chair back. 

“This meeting is over” he said “Get out”

For a moment there was silence before Tomas did the same.  

Jason held out his hand and when Tomas shook it, he pulled the man closer, whispering something in his ear.  

Tomas’ eyes widened.

For a moment it looked like Jason flinched before Tomas shoved him away a knife in his hand.

Without hesitation, Jason drew his gun and fired one shot.

Tomas fell to the ground in a lifeless heap.  

Jason holstered his weapon turning to Henry.  “Get that cleaned up” he said, one hand pressing against his side “We’re leaving”

Henry nodded and turned towards the other men they brought with them.  

“What just happened, Sir?” Malcom asked as he fell into step next to Jason “Why did he attack?”

“Don’t worry about it” Jason said through clenched teeth.

The car pulled up in front of them.  Malcom opened the door and got in, followed by Jason and then Henry as he caught up with them.  

Jason leaned back against the seat, eyes closed.  “Take us to Halo” he said.

Immediately Henry and Malcom looked at him.  He slowly pulled away his hand.  Blood stained his shirt.  

“What the hell?” Henry said “When did that happen?”

“When do you think?” Jason asked annoyed, putting pressure on the wound again.

***

Halo watched Jason with a raised eyebrow.  “What did you do?” he asked.

“Why the hell do you think I did anything?” Jason asked annoyed.

“Because you don’t get hurt unless it works to your favour or you did something stupid” Halo said “So tell me what did you do?”

Jason closed his eyes for a moment.  “Nothing that you need to worry about” he said “Now stitch me up”

Henry and Malcom stood in the door watching.  Neither of them allowed him out of their sight even for a second.  Like Halo, they blamed this on him again, not that it was a surprise.  And it was kind of his fault.

“Stitch up my Lieutenant, Halo” a voice said from the other side of the room.  

All the eyes snapped towards Huuga Shin as she walked into the room, widening.  

“Boss” Jason all but growled under his breath.

That made the other three stare at him instead with shocked expressions.  That was not the way you talked to THE Huuga Shin.  And not after you already into trouble with him earlier the day. 

“Luca” Huuga said with a warning tone.

Jason bit back a groan and just closed his eyes.  His side were on fire.  They managed to stop the blood, but he still felt slightly lightly headed.  

“Sorry...  Sir” he muttered after a moment. 

Huuga nodded.  “Now Halo” he said looking at the other man “Fix him up”

The man grumbled under his breath.  “Go sit” he said, nodding toward one of the chairs “Take of your shirt”

Jason pushed himself away from the wall and slowly walked over to the chair as he took of his jacket and shirt.  Halo glanced at the wound and winched slightly. 

“What did you do, run into the knife?” he asked.

Without a sound Jason sat down on the chair, leaning back.  “No, but the guy that had the knife was quite angry” he grumbled.  

“Did you take care of job I gave you?” Huuga asked. 

Jason opened his eyes slightly, looking at the man.  “Yeah, that’s what I got this for”

Huuga nodded. 

Halo froze for a moment before he glared at Jason.  “You see!” he snapped “You caused this to happen.  Most people doesn’t want to get stabbed, but you?  I swear you do it for fun”

“Thank you, Luca” Huuga said “The drive?”

“Henry” Jason said, closing his eyes again.  

Henry jumped slightly but quickly took out the drive and handed it over to Huuga.  

“Well done” Huuga said and looked over at Jason “Don’t do anything stupid again any time soon, you hear me, Luca?”

Jason flinched slightly as Halo started putting in the stitches.  “Yes, Sir” he said

Huuga nodded and left.

Henry and Malcom breathed out.  They had no idea how Luca could be so calm while the Boss was there.  

“You need to be careful” Halo said as he worked “This is a deep wound.  Don’t rip the stitches, it’s not going to be easy to fix”
