Chapter 34 The Imposter

Chapter 34 The Imposter
Sergio

I don't know who the fuck this imposter thinks he is. I don't know a man that I know and knew as well as The Don. I knew him like I was his second skin. So if this boy thinks he can fool me then he's got another thing coming. Anyone who knew the Don knew that that man has never reproduced in his entire life. And anyone who knew him also knows that he left me everything he had to his name.

I'm pissed right now. And not because I feel threatened, this is not the first time something like this happens. I'm pissed because I know this is a distraction. Someone is trying to break into my my fortress. Someone is trying to knock me off my axis.

If that boy wants to claim his birthright like he says he does though, I won't fight him. I'll just take everything that is rightfully mine and leave. My peace included because it took a while after I became Don for everything to settle down. If he thinks that I'm going to leave him with anything then he must not know me much.

"Who is this kid?" I ask Brian.
"He says his name is Gary Fultan."
"And he thought playing with the lives of people I loved was the way for all of this to go?"
"Apparently. There's a lot of activity happening around him. It seems as if he's trying to take over the turf from outside."
"Let me guess, he's recruiting."
"Yep, in mass. In fact, he's recruiting boys."

I don't know if I should feel offended or if I should applaud him first then feel offended. I don't like it when boys are made to grow up before their time and made into men. Being a made man at a young age exposes you to a lot of unnecessary shit. I know for a fact that these boys that are being recruited are not given a choice.

Now after I've wiped this boy off the face of the earth, I will be left with a mess that will be very hard to control. The transition is not easy and it's not a pretty. These boys will be left with scars that will refuse to heal. It's worse when you're being forced. These young men are going to have blood on their hands when they don't even know how to wash them.

"So he's aiming for control. It also means that he thinks that if I happen to fall off, he'll be left with you guys."

I know the reaction I'm aiming for. We're all on the edge of our seats, but we need to relax. I know these men will never let themselves be lead by another person, let alone a boy who still stinks of his mother's breast milk.

"Fuck no. I'd rather quit being a made man." Byron says from the corner of my office and that does it, everyone starts laughing and start talking about something else. Just a distraction I need.

Brian comes over to my desk and we start making plans. It's not that I don't trust my men but there are some things that they don't need to know. My calling most of them to the office to listen on in some of the meetings is so that they feel involved, in a way, it keeps them loyal to me.

To make sure they keep going in the ongoing conversation, every now and then I throw in a little word, Brian is not any better than me. After we're done organising a part of our plan, I call everyone to order.

"Brian has just shown me something I've been suspecting," it's something we discussed earlier before I called everyone here. "This Gary has a connection with Lorenzo, which means the stakes have gone up. He's using him to distract me so that he gets on under me." I finish.

"I don't know how, I'm still trying to figure it out myself, but it's Lorenzo and Gary share blood. That means that if we take him for paternity test, he will come out positive." He informs everyone
,
"Honestly, if I could I would dig the Don up just to get a tissue of his body for testing. I don't trust this new boy."

It's funny how everything is working right now. First it's the new big player, who has been silent and now this. I swear there's someone playing a sick game with my life right now. It's not making sense that I'm attacked on all sides, it also doesn't make sense. A part of me thinks that the new player is involved somehow in all this.

"But if this boy wants war, then war he will have. I will keep you all updated on what's going on as I get new information. Stay safe."

As everyone leaves, Holt steps in the office. He hates these meetings, he only ever attends if there are less people attending. Whenever there is a meeting he makes sure that he covers ground.

"Your brother is very busy, I must say." He says.
"Yeah I heard."
"Oh no, I got information. We either have a rat, or word is only starting to spread now."
"Word?"
"Oh yeah. Apparently he's busy saying that after he takes you down, he's going to make Angela his bitch." Holt says with a snort.

It's taken longer than I thought it would. The fact that he's just talking begs the question, what is he waiting for?

"I'm starting to think I'm giving him too much attention, and all this shit has only just begun."
"Yeah, and that's what they want. Look at this." Brian says from the couch looking down at his laptop.

It's a video surveillance of what looks like mass weapons being stored into a warehouse. It also looks like they're trying to do it as fast as possible.

"Where is this?" I ask him.
"Well this is a warehouse bought last week by Lorenzo. Dumb fucker didn't buy it under an alias. It's under Gary's name though."
"That was either done so that I see it, or Lorenzo really doesn't know how to hide." I answer.
"Yoh, do you have a picture of said Gary?" Holt asks. Something I've neglected to ask for.
"Let me find it real fast."

A few keys here and there and we have a picture. A picture of a young Lorenzo who has The Don's eyes and nose. But honestly Lorenzo and his brother almost looked alike. Almost. It's likely that this guy's nose was fixed to look like The Don's. But DNA will tell us who exactly this boy is. Plastic surgery is cheap when you know who to ask.
