Getting Close To The Gangleader

Chapter 11

It's been two weeks since me and Zander broke up. That same day as soon as we got to the house I went into Gabriel's room and packed a bag for him. Then I went into my room and packed a bag for me as well. I left my third in command in charge and told him I don't know when I'd be back but that I would be back soon. Just like that all three of us left and now we're staying at a cabin about half an hour from the gang.

I haven't talked to Zander at all since then but I have been keeping daily tabs on the gang. I call them everyday to make sure everything is going good and things are in order but never tell them where I'm at. As for Gabriel's school I told them we had an emergency we had to take care of and that he would be absent for a couple of weeks. They understood and left it at that.

I've never been the type to run away from my problems but ever since Zander came into my life something changed. That scares me because I've gotten so attached to him and I don't know what I would do if he or Lizabelle were to get hurt. It scares me because I don't know if this change is for the better or for the worse. I'm currently on the phone talking to my third in command about how things are going with the gang.

"So has there been any activity from other gangs lately?"

"No boss. They've been on the low."

"That's good. Keep an eye out and report any suspicions back to me."

"Okay. Do you know when you'll be back?"

"Not yet. But I'm thinking very soon."

"Alright and- 

"-is that Ana on the phone?"

"We'll talk later."

I hang up the phone before I get an answer back. Hearing Zander's voice gave me comfort but also reminded me of why I was away from the gang at the moment. I get out of my car and head back into the cabin.

"Hey Ana. We were thinking of going to eat breakfast."

"Yeah that sounds good."

We head out and get into the car. Aaron drives us and when we get there they seat us at a booth and we give our order to a waiter. They give us our food quickly and we enjoy our meal.

We just got back home and I'm really full so I'm just laying down on my bed and relaxing for a bit. I'm about to fall asleep when my phone starts ringing. I groan and sit up on my bed looking for my phone. I get it from the foot of my bed and answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"Sorry to wake you but we just received word that there's a gang approaching."

"How long until they get there?"

"About an hour."

"We're on our way. If I don't get there in time hold them off until I get there."

"When have you ever been late to something?"

"You're right. I'll see you soon then."

I hang up and pack my bag quickly. I go to Gabriel's room and pack his things too. I call Aaron and tell him that we need to move out quick and he goes to his room. I grab my bag along with Gabriel's and bring them out into the car. I load them in the back and Aaron puts his bag in too. I get in the drivers seat and Aaron gets in the back with Gabriel. I put my foot on the gas and speed to the house.

We got to the house in about twenty minutes. I went in through the back of the house and went to my office. My third in command was there and he got up once he saw me come in.

"They're about ten minutes out. Everyone is in position and we're ready for anything."

"That's good. I really appreciate everything that you've done."
