"Now." I said then looked at Sam and Corey. They both grinned at me then closed the door.
"They can't be in here for this." Will said and looked at Sam and Corey. "I don't think you remember who's actually in charge." I said and sat in the chair across from him.
We spent the next couple hours going through everything he was doing.
As of now nothing was suspicious but I would have to keep a close eye on him before I even thought about bringing up the fact that Julia was still here.
I didn't want to involve her in the craziness of this life.
It was going to be hard to shield her from it but I wasn't going to leave her. I would protect her as fiercely as I possibly could.
"Alright. I'll be watching you." I said to Will as he nodded. "I have nothing to hide, sir." He said as I turned to leave the room.
"Good. Let's keep it that way." I said then left with Sam and Corey.
When we got to my office, I unlocked the door, chuckling to myself about how Julia made fun of my passcode.
Not many people knew my birthday and especially none of the gang members did. It had never been an issue to have the passcode be that.
"Honestly, you're kind of a badass." Corey said as Sam closed the door. "Yeah, you guys thought I was bad when I was in charge of you." I said with a laugh.
"You're softer on us." Sam said with a chuckle. "Because you don't typically make stupid mistakes." I said then sat down.
"So what are we doing today?" Corey asked as they sat across from me.
"Not really sure yet. We need to find Adam and kill him, he's causing way too much trouble." I said with a sigh.
"The governor actually has it out for him, so we won't do the killing. We'll let him get tortured so he can rat his little gang out." I said with a grin.
"Damn, you get the governor involved in your crimes?" Sam asked as I nodded.
"If we behave and do what he says then we are taken care of in the state of Washington." I said as they nodded.
"Sick." Corey said with a chuckle. "So we basically have to find him to turn him in at this point." I said and looked something up on my computer.
"He's really good at escaping, huh?" Sam asked as I rolled my eyes.
"Annoyingly so." I said with a sigh then focused on my computer.
I ended up working for an hour or so, getting things organized again before I sent people on their missions for the day.
"Alright, time for some action." I said and looked at the guys. "Hell yeah." Corey said as he and Sam stood up.
"What are we doing?" Sam asked as I checked my gun to make sure it was ready to use. "Gonna go kill someone." I said with a chuckle.
"My favorite task." Corey said and clapped his hands together. "Yeah. It'll be fun." I said then led the way out of the room.
It felt good to be back in the action with the people I considered to be my brothers.
Being back on our mission of killing a drug dealer that killed a senators kid wasn't a typical way to bond with your friends but it was how we worked.
I wouldn't want to do this job with anyone else.
"That was fucking fun." Sam said as we got back into my car. "Yeah, I think we should talk about maybe having you guys join secret society." I said with a grin and started the car.
"You know we would love to, but we can't move everyone up here." Sam said with a sigh.
I knew that it logistically couldn't happen but I missed having them all around.
Now that Jules was back in my life I didn't want to be a part of the secret society as much.
I didn't want her near the danger that was this gang.
There was no stepping down there. There was only one way to get out of it.
I would have to be killed.
"I should have never left." I said and started driving back to my place. "I knew you regretted it for Jules but do you regret it for our gang, too?" Sam asked as I nodded.
"Yeah. I do." I admitted and focused on the road.
It was hard to grasp the concept that I would rather be less successful but I guess it wasn't so crazy to want to be surrounded by people who made you happy.
We drove in silence for a little while before we got to the store. I wanted to grab a couple things so Julia wouldn't be bored.
I knew it would suck feeling so trapped again and I hoped that one day there would maybe be a time where we could live freely.
I wanted her to be able to go to the grocery store by herself. I wanted her to have friends and be able to go out with them.
I wanted to be able to talk Julia on a date without a gun being in my pocket.
There was never a point where I could fully relax with her because people were constantly out to get us.
It just wasn't fair to Julia for her to have to live like this.
