MAFIA

Chapter 24

A day started is a day successful in the minds of the girls, every moment awake roaming the halls are moments well spent, no matter what those moments may entail.. today however didn't start in the way either deemed acceptable as Lauren strut confidently through the walls of the expensive ring, her ears pricking at the sound of yelling voices in the distance

The noise issued coming from the guards quarters, walking past the three girls waving and smiling at Marco who stood with blushing cheeks and a beaming response, his pride in saving the women so strong he couldn't help but make a scene

"Hey Marco!"

"Hey guys!"

He spoke back with a glorified grin waving as they walked past with simultaneous winks, the gratitude shown not liked by a few other men, Camila's men to be specific as one head over to stare at him with his taller more structured in muscle stature

"Well well.. I see we have a little show off on our hands!"

"Hey look bro, I may be short and skinny but that's the only thing small about me!"

He smugly recalled pointing down at his crotch a little too confidently in his young nature causing the heavy set man in front to storm forwards towards him unliking of his attitude stopped only by one of Lauren's men interjecting with a heavy arm

"Hey stop! He's just a dumb kid leave him alone!"

"Out of the way pretty boy! He can't talk to me like that!"

The Cuban respond with a growling ego filled husk, his strong arms unfolding to clench beside him while Marco stood behind his saviour with an innocent cocky smile, the idea of being absolutely pummelled by a man 10 times bigger than him not really setting in as it should have

"Dude I'll talk to him ok? Chill! The last thing we need to be doing right now is fighting.. you heard what they said they'd do to us! I'm not dying over some stupid kid!"

"Hey I'm not stupid?"

"Not now Marco!"

The saviour scolded glancing back with a stern stare to silence the boy quickly as he worked to diffuse the problem he had caused, he did as told for the moment while the angered man stared back into his promising eyes that only begged for some kind of resolution

"Keep him out of our way!"

He demand sharply before turning reluctantly on his heels to walk away, the situation quickly halted however only momentarily as Marco smiled happily to himself looking down to adjust his armoured vest

"Yeah back off big boy! Get gone!"

He heard... the saviour immediately shook his head with a frustrated growl unable to stop the man that turn back quickly to smash his fist over his jaw sending him quickly into the floor before his heavy boot connect with the side of his ribs, the altercation not stopped by anyone out of fear they'd be punished as a repercussion, Marco began yelling out in pain clutching at his body that began to take a long tire of heavy kicks and punches, his bleeding mouth and crying eyes painful to watch as even the saviour stepped back to watch

Quickly however Lauren and Camila entered in on the space noticing the altercation from the hall immediately lifting their guns to cock the barrels at exactly the same time causing the gruff man to step back quickly with raised guilty arms, Lauren looked down noticing the small crying boy to be that of the one she'd built a strong connection with only a few days previous

"He's all yours"

She spat in a cold deathly voice lowering her weapon to look over at Camila who only issued back a nod as she walked the criminal back out into the hall, her gun poised and ready while the room left behind remained perfectly silent.. everyone stood.. watching as the boy whimpered through a bloody mouth, Lauren sank down to her knees lifting her palm to gently settle over his cheek before looking up at the saviour stood hesitantly by his side
