163 Wades & Schemes II : Justice Begins (2/2)
I broke out in cold sweat, I absolutely didn't notice the pen was poisoned, I took the pen she offered me and signed in places where she asked me too. And when everything was all said and done, a blue disk appeared in the air, it's blue form sparkling and sizzling with electricity, then it split in two and then flew towards Henry, however halfway through they diverted and went after his sons. And moments later a right ear and a left ear was on the floor and the conference room was filled to the brim with the screams and cries of two victims of a father's.....or based on both parent's surprised looks a fucking Wade family scheme. Damn! These guys are trying were really pulling out all of the stops, and based on the embarrassed smile on Jeremy's face he knew he's been found out.
”Listen little Aaron I can expla...Arghhhhhhhhh!”
What sound does a man make when he gets a face full of electricity, well I'm not sure, because I'm sure it differs from person to person. Uncle Jeremy squeaks novels though, and the moaning sound he was making as music to my ears, I'm not one to regret actions I've taken, but I hate punishing people for things they were innocent off. It might sound hypocritical for a mob boss to say such things, however even the devil himself had rules and principles, I'm not completely lost case.
I got up from my seat and walked towards the still shaking uncle Jeremy, I bent down in front of him as I turned his head to look up at me, ignoring the stench of piss on his body I smiled as Sparks danced around my fingers. He fucked up, I'm not sure if this was a collective plan with the entire family or just a move on his own part, but none the less I was going to make an example out of him. Looks like family means nothing to the Wade, nothing at all. It was time to clean house.
”Let me assure you uncle Jeremy, you're going to absolutely hate what comes next, whether you would be alive or not once it's over would be entirely dependent on my mood. So do hope by the time that family dinner rolls over, I'm really, really happy, cause if I am not happy, I'm going to be feeding you to our entire family, chief amongst them you wife, kids and grandkids.” Then I tapped his cheek before turning to Henry and his family and their lawyers who would probably be having nightmares for quite a few days. I looked at the lawyers and said.
”I don't need to tell you guys what would happen if word of this meeting goes out, your entire families will frankly ease to exist. So please don't give me a reason to act, and as for you 'Brother!' you and your family can get the fuck out of my face, the right of Exile comes into effect the moment you leave this conference room, and you have ten M's before I start coming after you and your family, especially your bitchy wife. Now get the fuck out of my building.”
They didn't seem all too willing to waste time as they made tier way out, their sons clutching the bleeding and very missing ears in one hand, and the sliced off appendage in the other. Their lawyers followed behind them, moving as quickly as they could, as if they couldn't get away from me any faster. I moved towards the window of the conference room, I could see down into the main entrance of the company, and beyond that I could see the city of Los Angeles in all of it's morning Glory.
I felt Penny come over to my side and handed me another glass and then she pulled out a flask from her coat and poured it's contents into the glass. She raised her shoulders at my questioning gaze and said to me.
”Take it easy with that, it has quite the kick.” I downed the entire glass at once, it brought tears to my eyes along with a slow burn in my chest. She was right, it did have quite a kick.
”Are you okay?” she asked me with a much more sitter voice than I've ever heard from her.
”No....I want to curl up in a ball and cry, but doing that in front of you and Kira and this asshole uncle of mine would probably shatter my pride. I just literally confronted my demons and the very reason why my childhood was hell, and even though they'll be getting what they deserve, I don't feel any satisfaction from it, I just feel tired. Very tired...… and the wound from losing them both seemed to have been ripped open again, I really wish they were here and I could just be a kid again.”
Kira stepped out at that moment and came back a few seconds later with a pair of security guards who proceeded to carry my uncle out. She follows them, probably to make sure they made him very 'comfortable' and it was at that point the countdown I had began in my head reached ten minutes, and down below I watched emotionlessly as the FBI came into the building and arrested my mother's murderer and all of it under the live feed and still shots of reporters who just seemed to appear out if thin air. Penny looked at me.
”When you said 10 M's, you actually meant ten months. I had thought you wanted to say ten months or days but was s little choked up, you really work fast don't you.” She said to me, all I could give her was a small smile as I kept watching as she was dragged out and thrown into the back of a black sedan, her husband and children watching on helplessly.
”You know, you can cry now. There's no one else but me here, and you know I won't tell anyone. Besides I also have a reputation to protect, so no one can know my boss is a wimpy cry baby.” Funny as that may have sounded, I did exactly as she told me, I closed my eyes and I cried, I really cried.
