Chapter 20: Enemies.
As Joseph stepped over the dead guard at the doorway, he started to feel something, now an entirely different and it wasn’t how it was before, wasn’t excitement or happiness, but it was more like some moral and human was still there, like only some drop of it, because as he stepped out of the warehouse, what he saw was disgusting.
In front of the warehouse were the guards of Jelena, Vincente and Gabbana, they were all dead, but the thing about it that made his stomach hurt and felt the need to vomit, was the way they were killed.
It was all headshots.
All of them were dead by one single shot, one single bullet, but some of them had literally missing heads. Like he looked at one in the far left, one laying beside one of the cars, and half of his head was missing, and literally he could see his brain and the mushed flesh with bone sticking out.
Another one almost in front was also in that way, but he was facing up. He had no face, literally it was not there, just blood and the mangled flesh as just how the whole front of the warehouse was full of blood like it was a pool or a slaughterhouse and it immediately hit his nose.
It was different then inside, yeah there was blood but this was something more than that, something that was just horrifying to look at and experience, especially when the hot sun was shining on their bodies and making everything just feel more intense.
Almost like life wanted him to remember this, the open skulls and missing heads, to make sure he knows what world he is stepping in, what waited for him for ten fucking long years. That is just the beginning of all of it, the beginning of the blood filling up his nose, making his stomach churn, his throat tighten and his pulse quicken.
Like the welcoming of him, like how he just joked when they kidnapped him, a welcome party with dead bodies laying in front of him... that was the time he realized that maybe he made a mistake, maybe all of it was a big mistake, and it would have been much easier if he had just kept headbutting the cell walls until he slowly died...but now he already was in the progress of becoming a true Don and there was no turn back, especially after he just heard that people are wanting for him with a home.
To be true he felt that he was in great debt to them, like they did what he thought about every day and killed his parents and now saved his ass from death, which was well inconvenient for him a bit, but at least he now realized that there was no other road than what is already paved to him.
