Shadows In Durango

Chapter 73

*****Vincent's POV*****

"You like it?" I ask knowingly, glad to be showing off one of my father's best kept suites in Illinois.

It was a surprise for me too since I hadn't ever stayed in this location before with this being my first time ever sent here in replacement of my father. At least the place was decent...

"It's beautiful! Top floor too?!" Sofia murmurs, moving towards the full length windows overlooking the city.

At least my father was good for something and that this place had decent security...

As Sofia explores the space, my phone starts to ring from my back pocket as I immediately pull it out - glaring down at it being my father himself. Can he at least let me step foot into the fucking state for an hour?!

"What?!" I answer and snap, gaining Sofia's attention as she watches me with concern - probably thinking that it was Daryl on the receiving end. "Don't you think you can just take up a pissy tone with me! The meet up is at eight, you better not fuck this up. Did all of the trucks make it without fault?" My father gets straight to the point, his voice causing every muscle in my body to tighten.

I hate him.

"I'm not stupid, I'll handle it! The trucks are all here." I mutter, as Sofia seems to quickly gather that I was talking business and excuses herself to go to the bathroom.

I could get used to having her around if she's this good at staying out of my business... I'm used to girls begging me to tell them all about my crime driven family and lifestyle - thinking it was 'cool' but it seems that Sofia doesn't care.

"His names Chester, he's not one for mocking or pulling any stunts with, do you understand?" My father's tone shifts ever so slightly, more serious and almost nervous which was unusual for him.

Has he sent me here in replacement of him because he's intimidated? It wouldn't surprise me... sending his son who was still In school to handle the big dogs!

He would rather I took a bullet over him any day and that was the cold hard truth of it.
