Chapter 2 Dhá

Once we had checked the inside and determined the casualties we headed out there back to be faced with our worst nightmare. Ciaran was lying on his back not moving. We rushed over to him with a gunshot to his forehead no one had dared to come up against our brother let alone was brave enough to put a bullet through his head. This was an act of vengeance and hatred but there were so many to count. Elon screamed and fell to the ground, his tears streaming down his face. "Ciaran brother, please wake up."

"He's dead, Elon."

"No, no he can't be."

I placed my hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry brother he is, and I promise you we will catch the bastards who killed him and end them as brutally as they ended him."

He nods his shoulders, shaking as he sobs. I swallow hard. I can't show how badly this is affecting me. I feel like someone has ripped out my heart and squeezed it until it's no longer beating.

I pulled my mobile out with a shaky hand. I had already let our private hospital know about the guards at the front of the home and I knew they wouldn't be expecting another call from me. "Get more ambulance's here and I want our corinior something isn't right here. Everyone is dead except the guard at the front of the house."

Whoever entered the mansion may have thought he was dead or left him alive as a warning we won't know until the autosys are done. I need to know who the hell has done this and why. Not just for me but for my brother too. He was close to Ciaran and he will take his death the hardest.

The sirens blare as they enter the property. I wasn't even sure that they had enough ambulances for all of the deceased.

We watched and waited as they came out with the gurneys of the deceased in body bags. There were over thirty dead and in the back of thirty ambulances our brother the last. The Coroner walks up to us. "I'm sorry for your loss."

I nod, Elon is still in bits. "I want an autopsy on all of them, especially Ciaran. I want to know exactly what killed him even though I already knew that it was the gunshot to the head.

"We'll do a full autopsy then I'll call you so you can come down and I'll let you both know my findings."

"Thanks." I said shaking his hand he had been a good friend to the family for as long as I can remember.

He was one of dads most trusted men. He had never failed him and I knew he would not fail us. Ciaran had taken over when Dad had fallen ill but his illness had not taken him, a gunshot to his heart had.

He helped us to find out that it was a bullet that belonged to a gun of one of his enemies. Those enemies are no more and neither will this one be.

We stayed at the front of the back of the mansion as the coroner and the ambulances drove away. "Let's go inside, Elon."

"I don't think I can."

"We have to."

"He's dead, Fionn."

"I know, brother. Let's go in. He wouldn't want us to mourn over his death, he would want us to celebrate it."

He nodded and I held my hand out. He took it and I pulled him up to his feet letting go of his hand and dropping my arm over his shoulders, squeezing as a reassurance. "It will be okay brother mode. We know the truth, we avenge his death, the only way us Mitchells know best."

He nods in agreement and we head into the mansion. It's so silence ng now everyone is gone and I'm fearing the worst that our empire is finally shattering in front of us. Cerian was the strongest of all of us now he's gone it means one of us will have to take over.

We spent the rest of the night drinking and getting drunk off our asses.

Elon and I woke up late the next morning and got to work. We needed to know how these assassins got into our home without being detected. it was strange that they managed to get past our security let alone kill all of them but one guard.

We both headed to the security room to see exactly what had happened and how whoever came here got in undetected. We found the security tapes from yesterday. And played them from the time we left when we knew Cerian was with Jacob. We had tried to warn him about Jacob from the beginning but he was having nine of it until our cousin had confirmed who he actually was then he had tortured him for the next six years even though betrayal was death and be love me when Elon and I were surprised that Ciaran had kept Jacob to torture instead of killing him. We were both surprised that he was still alive after the amount of times those who had tried to save him were brutally killed by our men. Until now that was. Had whoever had tried to save Jacob realised they weren't going to get him back with the pussy they sent to get him and sent in a team of assassins, ones who had left one of the guards hanging on between life and death.

Whoever they were, they were extremely well-trained to go undetected until the last minute. We sat down and began our search for whoever had entered and taken all our men by surprise before slaughtering them beyond recognition. We watched as Ciaran stepped out of the bedroom alone and headed down the hallway no doubt to see his flavour of the month we had tried to warn him that he was playing with fire especially since he had let Jacob back into their marital bedroom but he had assured everything would be fine as he had given Jacob sedatives to make him sleepy and he would never find out his rendezvous with a certain young male. We watched him go into the room no doubt to get his dick sucked, he was defiantly playing with fire no matter how many sedatives he would give Jacob we ensured he would eventually get used to them and start fighting them off and find out what Ciaran was doing behind his back while he was immobile in their bed. We had told him he should've just finished Jacob off and given him a not-so-peaceful death but he disagreed and said the way he was torturing him and popping him with pills would eventually kill him anyway so we would all just have to wait.

The shot changed to the front of their bedroom. There was chatting going on but we couldn't make it out but we knew everything was okay because Jacob would be comatosed from the sedatives.

Then the door flew open and a very jelly legged Jacob almost crawled out holding onto the wall and heading down the hall in the way Ciaran had gone. Fuck this wasn't good. Both Elon and I exchanged looks before the loud gang made us jump then the screen went black.

"Mother fucker." I cursed.

"Where the fuck did the security feed go?"

"Fuck if I know." I said I was trying my hardest to work out why it had gone blank. Then around ten maybe twenty minutes later it same back on and dead bodies lay over the hallway.

"We need to look at the feeds from outside and downstairs."

Elon nodded in agreement. I swapped the feeds and we watched we were amazed at how it all played out the fares automatically opened which was the surprising cause of the guards stationed there then fire came from everywhere then it all went black the inside of the lower floor showed a blank screen whoever had done this knew exactly when to disarm the cameras so we didn't know who was inside and killing our family.

They would pay for this even after my dying breath we would find out who did this and kill them.

"What do we do now brother?"

"We wait for the coroner to do the autopsy then we plan our revenge."
