tw brief description of blood, physical violence
eliza watched as hercules punched the guy in the face. the guy coughed out some blood and a tooth. he looked up angrily at them.
"the fuck do you want from me?" the man asked with hatred in his eyes. the man fell back on the pavement when eliza kicked him under his chin with her heels. she smiled when she heard him cry out in pain. hercules walked up to the man and sat him up. eliza kneeled in front of him and saw his bruised face. he had bruises all over his face, some sores and blood running out of his nose. eliza forced him to look at her which cause the man pain in his neck.
"where's the money, justin?" eliza asked with a plain expression.
"i don't know what you're talking about." justin replied with a glare. eliza slapped him and then punched him in the face. it was at this point that justin went unconscious. eliza sighed and stood up.
"bring him to the van?" hercules asked. eliza nodded. hercules picked up justin and threw him in the back of the van. they both climbed in and hercules started to drive away towards the mafia house.
the eliza mafia was a huge mafia that always caused trouble but none have ever been caught. eliza was a very smart person and knew what she had to do. she's very persuasive and manipulative but she only uses it to her advantage. the point of the eliza mafia was trust. she needed to trust people in order to recruit. she also recruits new mafia workers if she finds them valuable enough to go out with the plan. hercules mulligan was one of the first she's ever recruited. he might be a built strong but he knew how to get around to get the job done. that's what she liked about him. he fulfills the plan. eliza looked out the window and sighed. hercules looked over at her then back at the road.
"what's wrong thin time, eliza?" hercules asked.
"why can't king george ever send out his good goons? it's always the ones who are dumb fuckers." eliza complained, "i want a fucking challenge. not a party. god, he's so annoying sometimes."
hercules chuckled, "that's king george for you. he sends out his worst so he could save the best for last. you know him."
eliza sighed, "i guess but it would be nice to beat up one of his good ones."
hercules nodded, "maybe if we keep this justin hostage, he'll send out a good one."
eliza scoffed, "i fucking doubt it. justin doesn't seem like the valuable type that he'd send out his best workers to come get him."
hercules nodded, "you have a point. so what we gonna do with justin? kill him?"
eliza shook her head, "no. i was actually thinking of recruiting him."
hercules looked at eliza with a baffled expression, "you're thinking of recruiting that dumbass back there? he couldn't even handle your famous chin-heel kick!"
eliza laughed, "i know. that's what i like about him. he held it out to the end. unlike some mafia workers. they would tell us right away after the chin-heel kick but justin didn't. he could be useful when undercover."
"i guess." hercules sighed. they continued driving downtown until they got to the outskirts of the city. manhattan was beautiful. eliza loved it here. her father thought it would be a good idea to move the mafia somewhere else but she refused. one thing she loved about driving back to the mafia house was the fields. the fields will always be her favorite part. at night, she would drive through them or sometimes walk through them just to feel at peace. yeah she was a mafia boss but she wasn't mean all the time. only if it was something passionate or something she wanted. they finally pulled up to the gates of the mafia estate. hercules rolled down the window and pressed the button to call the front person. there was static but soon you could hear a voice.
"welcome to the eliza mafia estate. can i have your reason of business?" they heard a voice ask.
"it's us, john." hercules chuckled.
"oh ok. i'll just let y'all in then." john spoke. just as he said that, the gates of the estate opened. they drove on a narrow path until they reach a huge mansion. from the outside, you could see it's beauty. there was a big fountain full of water and a huge car turn. hercules went and parked the van right in front of the estate. hercules got out to get justin out. eliza got out also but immediately walked inside. there she saw all the other workers and her sisters. her sisters lived in her mansion and they also worked for her. peggy was the first to go and greet eliza. she hugged her tightly as angelica walked up to them slowly.
"how'd it go, sis?" peggy asked. she loved hearing about eliza's missions. she might be only 23 but she has the mind of a child.
eliza patted her curls and laughed, "it didn't go as planned but i found a new recruit."
"lemme guess. the new 'recruit' is the person you and hercules just beat up." angelica amiled.
eliza rolled her eyes, "wow! how'd you know?"
"please. you did that with lafayette because hercules made goo-goo eyes at him." angelica smirked.
"hey. he's pretty cute and you cannot blame me." hercules argued when he walked in. he was carrying a unconscious justin on his shoulder, "where you want him at, eliza?"
"just put him in the blue guest room." eliza told him. hercules nodded and headed upstairs. peggy grabbed eliza's hand and pulled her towards the kitchen.
"look at what i found near the estate yesterday." peggy smiled at eliza. peggy might have the mind of a child but she knows how to do her stuff. she single-handily installed tons of cameras over and in the estate. all of them are hooked up to one of the computers she has. peggy clicked on a video that showed someone looking over the gate of the estate. it looked like someone was trying to get in but somehow got their shoe stuck. they started freaking out and ran away with no shoe. eliza laughed and patted peggy's shoulder. peggy took out the exact show from that night which made eliza laugh more.
"peggy, i know i tell you this all the time but i love you." eliza smiled.
"i know." peggy giggled.
