Ace pov: As I looked at the much older version of my old friend I couldn't help but smile. It's been years since I've seen him and boy did he have his glow up that was for sure. He came down to greet me and his friends followed. We hugged and he introduced me. It was his second and third command. "I called you here Alex because I need your help" he said he sat us down giving us a glass and filling it with whiskey "I have a rat in my mafia" he said blankly. The way he said it you would think it was poison in his mouth he just spit out. I sat back trying to comprehend what he was asking me to do.
"Ace you know how strong your mind is and I just can't figure out who it is, will you help me" I looked at him and nodded slowly. What could it hurt I'm just helping out a old friend. Zay was a very independent person so if he was asking for help, he really needed it. I learned from when we were younger asking for help was really a last resort for him. We discussed what he wanted me to do and I left. As I was making my way home I felt something bad. I pressed on the gas and swerved throught traffic.
Pulling up to the house I parked my car and walked in. It was quiet, to quiet. I walked up the stairs and into my room to see coco sitting on my bed. I walked up to her and blood on her coat of fur. I looked closer and saw some on my bed. Looking around my room for anything out of place I saw the file I had on Dominic open and on the floor. Scattered like it had been dropped. I picked it up to see blood on the paper too. I walked over to Coco and rubbed him. "You ok boy" I said.
She seems calm but I knew something was off. I trained with Coco so I know my dog. I wlked out my room and into the hallway. Why was it so quiet in the house. I walked down the hall towards Jack's room and opened the door and peeked in to see him sitting on his bed. I knocked still standing in the doorway he looked up and told me to come in. "Hey jack do you know if anybody was in my room" he looked up at the question but seemed to already have a answer. He got up out the bed and walked around to me sitting Infront of me. "Yes" he answered I nodded my head. Mom couldn't have been in my room because she has lunch with her book club till 6 so it was either jack,Dominic or Vincent. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Vincent since he hasn't talked to me at all after the day I got here. I made a mental note to go talk to him.
"Would you like to share that information" my voice coming out calm and collected. I just wanted to know why there was blood and who saw the file so I know who to look out for. He thought about it for a second and then nodded "yea I will, but I want something in return" I sighed, I knew this was going to happen.
"Look I already know you know about the mafia so I know you have connections because everybody can't figure something like that out, I know this is going to sound weird but can you have somebody look deeper into dad please" he said looking at his fingers watching them lock and unlock. I was taken by surprise, he wanted me to get somebody to look in on Dominic. He's lived with this man his whole life does he not feel safe anymore. I slowly nodded my head looking in his eyes.
"Yea I will, who was in my room" I broke eye contact as phone vibrates, looking down at the screen it lights up with a text from ivy which was weird considering I didn't give her my number. As I was about to unlock it jack spoke up
"dad was in your room,I don't see what happened i just heard something drop and coco whimpers so I went to check it out and I saw dad on the floor with a bite on his hand and calf. There's mark there if you don't believe me" he let out a sigh like he couldn't wait to get that off his chest. "Also I gave ivy your number hope you don't mind" he let out a awkward laugh scratching the back of his neck. I didn't think he was lying, he had no reason to and why would he have me look into dad if he was lying. I was going to look deeper into Dominic anyway but him asking me too just made me want to do it faster.
Now that I wasn't the only on in the house suspecting something. I knew if I found something I couldn't just go right out with it since I still had to convince mom and Vincent and who's harder to convince your "father" is evil more than his wife and first son? " I'll update you on the Dominic thing,but got now just keep this between us ok" he nodded so I walked out. Walking down the hall I heard grunting . Not the good kind of grunting, it sounded like someone was hurt. I continued walking and I came face to face with Vincent's room. The door was closed but I could still hear the sounds throught the door. I don't want to just walk in incase I was wrong and it was the good kind of grunting.
I knocked 3 times but not to loud "go away" I heard his deep voice come throught the door. The knock wasn't that loud so if he was doing the tango he wouldn't have heard it. I walked in to see him on the floor next to his dresser. His room was a mess like he had just trashed it "I don't think I said come in" I followed my eyes to home to see his hair a mess and blood coming form his wrist. My heart dropped as I recognized the situation. I know all to well what's going on here as I've been in his place before. I don't wish this on anybody not even my worst enemy. Not many people know what it like to go thought a battle with your self.
How am you supposed to win when my enemy, is you?
I walked up to him and lifted him onto his bed throwing the clothes and stuff on the floor. Leaving him I walked in the bathroom and grabbed the first aid kit from under the sink. Dominic said we all had one under I sink incase of emergency. I walked back in to see home laying down blood still dripping form his wrist. "Come on I need you to sit up please" I said softly. He slowly sat up his eyes low. I want to wrap this up fast as in didn't know how long he had been Bleeding for. I grabbed the alcohol and put it on a cotton thing and cleaned his wrist. He hissed at that fact I don't warn him. I grabbed a ointment and put some on there before putting a cotton bandage and wrapped it up so he would pick at it when it started to itch.
I put everything back and walked back into his room. Stopping Infront of him I lifted his head to look at me and then I hugged him. He stayed still for to a minute before wrapping his arms around me. I felt wet stuff hit my shirt so I held I'm tighter. He started sobbing into my stomach and I'm didn't say anything I just let him get it out.
