"Doesn't little red riding hood have a wolf ?" He raised his eyebrows at her.

"It does, but it's not the same wolf."

"It's the same thing, same bad wolf." He nonchalantly replied.

"It's not the same wolf!" She angrily spat.

"It is."

"Okay okay, stop arguing." I interfered. "If you both can't agree on a story, why don't I sing you guys a lullaby." I smiled.

"No we're fine!" They replied quickly. I raised my eyebrows at them and they both looked at each other, as if communicating with their eyes.

"What we mean to say is... We are very very sleepy." Kiara faked a smile. "We don't need a lullaby."

"Yeah, we'll be fast asleep before you even get out of that door." Kai nodded.

"Okay.. goodnight then." I kissed both of their cheeks. "Love you."

"Love you too mommy." They replied in unison. I headed to the door and got out.

I didn't know my singing was that bad. I mean I know I'm not the best singer, but I'm pretty sure I'm not that bad.

I headed to the sitting room of the hotel suite and immidietly the door opened. Kenny walked inside, his white shirt was covered in blood that surely wasn't his. That's why he wanted me to get the kids to bed.

"Who did you kill ?" I asked as I pecked his lips.

"Lemme take a quick shower and I'll explain everything to you okay ?" He said and I nodded. He looked exhausted and just tired. I wondered what was going on as he went to the bathroom.

I got inside the bathroom seconds later and found him in the shower. I picked up his clothes that were filled with blood and put them inside the washing machine, activating it in the process.

I went back to the sitting room, snuggled into a blanket and switched on the TV. I watched the movie for atleast twenty minutes before Kenny came out of the bathroom. He was wearing a black hoodie and sweatpants with socks. If Kenny's wearing warm, just know it's really really cold.

His hair was still wet and I could smell my vanilla body wash on him. He sat next to me on the couch and I raised my eyebrows at him, signalling him to explain what was going on.

"Moscow's after us." He calmly said. "He's the one that sent the sniper."

"Wait wait." I confusedly chuckled "Moscow ? As in the leader of the Sixty eight's ?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Yeah." He nodded.

Wasn't Moscow and his gang arrested five years ago ?

"He escaped months ago and has been in hiding ever since." Kenny responded. I must've thought out loud.

"But why would he wanna kill us ?" I narrowed my eyes in confusion. "I mean why would he wanna kill me ? you ?"

I was just confused. I don't remember doing something to Moscow or any of his gang members for him to come after me. He is dangerous, I knew that, even more dangerous than my dad.

Every criminal was rejoicing when Kenny busted him and sent him to prison five years ago. It was finally a big break from the most ruthless gang leader in Mayville. Moscow owned Mayville. The flash drive that built Kenny's empire ? It was in Moscow's possession, making him the most powerful criminal.

Could this possibly be the reason ? That Kenny took his place and became even more powerful ? That Kenny achieved the Mafia empire that he was on his way to doing ? But where do I even get in in all of this ? Why am I even involved ?

"I sent him to prison five years ago and if that didn't anger him enough, I took over Mayville, his turf. " Kenny shrugged his shoulders without a care in the world. He wasn't even intimidated by Moscow like I was.

I admit, I don't fear anyone in the criminal world, but there are just some people I prefer not messing with. It's called being smart and careful, like a deer that knows not to break up a fight between two lions, it knows where and when to stay away. I can't believe I compared myself to a deer, but nonetheless I wouldn't just decide to go and attack the Italian Mafia or the Sicilian Mafia. I would be killed within seconds, that's why I'm saying, I don't fear Moscow, I just prefer staying away from his path.

"Okay I get why he would wanna kill you and stuff, but why am I involved in all of this ?" I shook my head. "Why does he wanna kill me ?"

"Because you killed his brother ?" Kenny arched his brows at me. I narrowed mine in confusion.

"Wait, I killed Moscow's brother ?" I pointed at myself in confusion.

"Yeah, Moscow's after you because you killed his brother."

I don't even remember killing his brother. I can't even deny that I killed his brother, I mean I kill a lot of people.

I really need to stop killing people.

"Does the name Valvoski ring a bell ?" He asked knowingly.

Valvoski ? Who again is Valvoski ??

I mean the name isn't new but-

"Blue you don't even remember the name of the man I caught you killing at the hotel five years ago ?"

"Oh my gosh yes!" My eyes widened. "That's where I heard the name!"

He chuckled shaking his head.

"Valvoski is Moscow's brother ? I just thought he was just a member of the Sixty eight's." I remarked.

"Yeah." He pulled me to sit on his lap. "But don't worry about it, I'll handle it."

"We'll handle it." I corrected. "This is just wild." I chuckled.

"I trust only you to find a death threat fun." He chuckled.
