Chapter 4 The Bereft Twins

CHAPTER 4

ADAM'S POV

"Are you trying to get us killed!" Andrew screamed so loudly.

"Shut the hell up!" I screamed at him matching on the brakes so hard.

I wished he didn't have his seat belt on so he would have had his head against the dashboard. He must think I enjoy riding with him.

"You should have let him driven the car" Andrew said

"Which way is this new warehouse again" I asked the guard who was sitted behind us.

"We drove past it's route like 20 minutes ago" he replied fear engulfing him.

"You must be kidding me" I whispered to myself trying so hard to control my anger and rage.

"Why didn't you say something?" Andrew asked the already scared guard

"I tried saying something but you both kept fighting and wouldn't listen to me"

"It's your fault" Said Andrew and I looked at him not wanting to believe that was meant for me.

I was short of words. Tenaciously I had the car facing the right route and I revved into the dark streets. Anger building up in my heart knowing that with such a thing going on I wouldn't be with Ethan tonight.

Ignoring whatever it is Andrew had to say, I had my hands glued to the wheels and my face head up high in view of the road with only one thing in mind. Getting to the warehouse, seeing the goods and disappearing into thin air to go be with Ethan.

It was because of me he is in the hospital and I shouldn't even think for a second to be with the Cosa Beretts rather than him.

"Left Sir" the guard's voice filled the silent air in the car.

I turned the car towards the left side of the road and continued the journey. Having had the car right on spot I found myself thinking about Ethan and how we had meant.

I knew being gay in the Cosa Berrets was like signing up for a death sentence cause John had sounded it clear that no child of his would be gay and live to see the next hour of the day. But this is what I am and just for the Legacy Andrew keeps bringing it up just to have me dead and off his way as competition to be heir.

But did he know I was ready to protect that secret even with my life? I've lived and grew up to only think about one thing, taking over the mafia legacy and not even a twin of mine would take it away from me.

Andrew's ringing phone got into my thoughts. I knew she was going to call. I was still having doubts when he confirmed it by just saying the word I don't think I've said ever since I clocked 16.

"Almost there Sir" the guard said and I gave a sigh of relief.

"Finally" I said loudly the second the guard confirmed we were at the warehouse.

I parked the car at a spot and we all got down to the Warehouse.Andrew was done with his call already.

It was much different from the other one that has been burnt down earlier. It had packing space and more larger environment that I began to wonder if John built this or he bought it.

"What took you guys so long?" I overhead the guards at the warehouse asking the one who had followed us

"The Berret twins happened" he replied and I shrugged it off. Besides he wasn't telling a lie.

"Hey..Adams" someone called my name from inside and I turned to see who it was. It was Luca one of John's suppliers.

Right! Now I understood why John wanted me to be present. There was a supply going on. I knew he never trusted Andrew nor Isabelle and I was beginning to think if Andrew being here was Isabelle's idea.

"Everything's going smoothly yeah?" I asked Luca and he nodded. "How many more hours?"

Even if no one could sense it I sensed urgency in my tone and I felt lucky no one else noticed.

"Uhmm like 2,3" Luca replied and I looked around to see no one was interested in our conversation

Andrew was lost in the environment trying to grasp what was going on and the guards were busy with whatever they had chosen.

"I need your help Luca" I said almost in a whisper

"I owe you my life Adams, I've long waited for you to ask me"

"I need to be out of here and it should be unnoticed. Any possibility?" I asked tapping my fingers together expecting a positive reply.

"Uhmm..."

"Yes?" I was really impatient

"With everyone busy I think it's possible"

"Good, now this is the plan..."

Luca listened with rapt attention as I explained my plan to him. I tried so hard to sound convincing. I had to emphasize more on not letting either Andrew or John knowing.

When I was sure I had successfully conveyed my message I stopped talking.

"Is that all?" Luca asked like he was still expecting me to keep talking

"Yes that's all" I replied looking around to make sure Andrew was still having a look round the warehouse.

When Luca assured me of a safe escape, I texted Ethan to let him know I was on my way to the hospital.

"See you soon" his text popped in and my face lit up for the first time all night.

I dipped my phone back into my pocket and followed Luca into the warehouse. It was just to make sure everyone saw me going into the warehouse but wouldn't know when I'd leave. As soon as the coast was clear I slipped away from behind the warehouse to find the car I had earlier told Damian to arrange.

There it was! I ran towards it and like a baby who met it's mother happiness engulfed me and I fell on it. No time! I quickly got into the car and drove off to go be with Ethan.

As if Damian was already timing to know when I'd get the car into the streets, his call came in and I carefully took out my phone to take the call.

"I'm on my way to the hospital" I said and dropped the call.

He called again and I ignored it. I didn't have such time. Getting the car to the highest speed I thought of I drove faster ignoring Damian's endless calls. Soon I was in the hospital garage.

I left the car and slipped into Ethan's room unnoticed and there he was looking so good. I smiled and began to walk to him.

"What!" I screamed at Damian over the phone when I had finally taken the call.

Ethan opened his eyes at turned his head towards me. He gave out a gently smile. I smiled back but I lost my smile when Damian said

"We Have a huge problem Sir..."
