Page 51 of Reign of Royal

“Sin, Aunt Carlina and Uncle Vin are our eyes, trust them to keep your asses alive and we’ll be fine.” I look down at my watch, two minutes and then we’re on the move.

“The twins are with me.” I clip out.

“Knight, Koby and your mother are with me. Spread your men out to draw the fire while we take the side and back.” I do as my dad says and then hand everyone their ear pieces so we can keep in contact. I can’t look at my mom and as I move with the twins to get in position, I know she’s worried about me but I can’t deal with that shit right now, which is why I didn't even look at Erika as I placed a kiss on her head and left.

“Ten seconds.” Chaos whispers, nodding. I check my Heckler & Koch MP5 one last time before giving the signal to move in. Terry and Benny were already there when we arrived, they had the whole place surrounded making sure no one got in or out of this place. As we move as a unit I see Benny and Terry move toward the other side to draw fire so we can come in through the side. My Dad and the others are taking the back entrance to cut off any chance of this slippery fucker escaping, he’s going to die today.

Our footsteps are light keeping the noise to a minimum, only a few of his men should be standing guard at this time. Just as we are twenty yards out a shot rings out, dropping to a crouch I peer through the scope on my gun to see a body on the ground to my far left, another shot rings out and another body drops near Terry’s crew. I peer through my sight and sure enough, a block or so away I can just make Chanel’s form out on the rooftop.

She’s one bad bitch!

“Move, move, move.” I shout, we all rush toward the warehouse. No point being quiet now, shots continue to ring out and bodies drop like shit, shouts can be heard from inside the warehouse. Uncle Vin and Chanel are taking out all the fuckers we can’t see, I slam against the side of the warehouse next to the side door. Chaos and Havoc mimic my stance on the other side of the door, I look at Bronson and nod giving him the okay to kick the door in while we cover him. The second his foot connects with the door, gunfire sounds out all around us. We rush inside, I dive behind a stack of barrels and machine parts. I look around for the twins but in the fray of everything and rushing for cover I’ve lost sight of them.

“They scattered, no sign of the KP.” Comes through the earpiece from Benny. Fuck, I shrink down further when a bullet whizzes past me. I look around and see all my guys firing back, I take a deep breath and close my eyes.

Lock it down, take out your mark and end this.

Snapping my eyes open, I swivel around the side of the barrel, flick my MP5 to semi auto and unload on these fuckers hitting as many as I can before dropping the mag and pulling another one that is strapped to my vest and slamming it in to shoot.

“Move in!” I roar as we push in as a solid unit to close in on the fuckers gaining ground and dropping down behind the numerous cars they have scattered throughout this warehouse, I spot Chaos crouched behind one of the cars checking his gun. “What’s wrong?” I shout over the gunfire.

“I’m out, Havoc has the other mags.” He calls back, I pull the Glock from my waistband and slide it across the ground to him then push over three mags. Once he's locked and loaded he nods, I look over the hood of the car and smirk at the sight of my dad and uncle leading their team in through the back. I give the old man that, he looks like a fucking beast and right in his element.

“Cover them!” I shout to my men, we all lean over the cars and take out as many cunts as we can to protect my dad, my heart leaps into my throat at the sight of my mom darting out from behind my dad to take out a fucker in my dad’s blind spot. It surprises the fuck out of me when dad just nods at her and doesn’t say anything. They fight and bicker but at this moment, there is no other that will have his back harder than my mother. I watched my mother break inside at the thought of losing my dad, I never want to see that look in her eyes ever again. I take out as many of those slimy fucks as I can as I creep in closer to my parents, the moment, Chaos, Havoc and me reach our parents we all form a circle with our backs to the each other and fire, it’s like everything slows down.

Bullets fly through the air, we return fire and so do my men, I watch some of them fall and feel the loss of each of them. I may not know them all but I want to lead the right way, any soldiers that fall today I will make sure each of their families are taken care of and they will be honored. Dad taps me on the shoulder and motions for me to follow him, we position mom so she is in the middle of us. Only now after breaching the warehouse do we realize that they weren’t just hiding out in one, the fuckers cut through the wall and have been using all three of the large buildings back here. As we enter the second I’m on high alert.

“Get down!” Dad roars as he spins and tackles both mom and me to the ground using his body as a shield to protect us from the grenade that was thrown. The bang rocks the foundation of the building and shrapnel from the cars it hits flies through the air, one of the cars explode. My ears ring, dad rolls to the side and looks over my mom and I quickly before rushing out into the fray and firing off round after round, Uncle Knight is right on his brother's ass watching his back. I shot a glance at the twins, both of them are on the ground, my aunt and uncle shielded them like my dad to us. Nodding to the twins we jump to our feet and follow after our dads. The three of us in a triangle formation with me at the front covering each other.

I fucked up, Emilio had more men stashed out here than I thought, never once did it cross my mind that he would be using all three sheds to house men, I should have seen that coming but I didn’t. I dive behind a large metal shelf when someone yells, grenade, the blast blows the large roller door open. More of the men stand out there shooting and fighting hand to hand as we all try to find the KP of this fucking crew.

I do a quick sweep of the room with my eyes and can’t spot my dad or the twins anywhere, fuck! I jump to my feet and scurry along the wall of the warehouse watching my own ass as I search for my family, worry churns inside me. I hear the sound of two rifles coming from outside, Chanel and Uncle Vin have moved in closer to the fight. I know the sound of Chanel’s gun, I knew there would be no way she would stay out of this when we’re all pinned down in here.

“Royal?” I spin around to see my uncle standing a few feet away.

‘Where the fuck is my dad?” I demand.

“Taking Kiara and Koby out the back way, he isn’t here and there is a bomb rigged to blow in the last warehouse, we have three minutes, move out now!” Fuck.

“Where’s the twins?” I’m not leaving without them.

“With Chanel and Vincent, move now!” He grips me by the vest and yanks me out through the roller door, the second we come out four shots ring out, Knight goes down and then gasping for air as I drop to my knees beside my uncle. Emilio Vargas and his men stand next to a Jeep with their assault rifles aimed at us. Emilio smiles at me, I look to Knight to see he’s bleeding from his shoulder, the other bullet hit his vest. I look down at myself, both bullets hit me in the chest, if I wasn't wearing my Kevlar vest I’d be dead. Even with the vest on I find it hard to breath, the force of the shots knocked the wind out of me. I hear gunfire continue to ring out on the other side of the warehouse where we entered.

Clever fucker, he was never inside the warehouse he waited out here for us to find the bomb and run this way to escape. His men rush forward to grab me and Knight, I fight each of the fuckers that try to grab me but the second one of them puts a gun to my uncles head, I stop and let the bastards drag me away.

ERIKA

I startle when the car door is yanked open and Bishop pokes his head inside frowning when he notices it’s only me inside the vehicle. “Where the fuck is Royal and Knight?”

Worry churns in my gut as I stare at him. “They’re not here.”

“Fuck.” He shouts as he slams the door closed, I push the door open and just out the other side and rush around to find Bishop, Kiara, Koby and a at least a dozen of Royal’s men, at the sound of foot falls I spin around to see, Chanel, Carlina, Vincent and the twins coming toward us but still no sign of Royal and Knight.

“Where is he?” I shout when Chanel stops a foot in front of me, she darts her gaze over my head to Bishop.

“Where the hell is Royal?” She demands.

“Where the fuck is my dad?” Havoc snaps.
