Chapter 27
Chase walked into the Conference room , his father have called for another meeting. This time it wasn’t just the three brothers, there were also some important people present.
Rowan had just gotten off the plane and had come over immediately to see his father.
When everyone had settled down, Mr John nodded at Waylen to stand up and start up the meeting.
Waylen obeyed and walk to the high table where he put a USB cable on a laptop and then connect it to the large television which immediately displayed a warehouse that seems to be in a Forest.
“As you all know about the recent happening in our group these days, it haven’t been funny and we are losing a lot to this unknown people. The soldiers were sent out to see If they can get any clue about who might have been trying to destroy us”. Waylen stopped to look at them.
Everyone was looking at him with keen interest which is exactly what he wanted.
“And this also happens to be my brother’s first mission. And how glad can I be? He completed his task successfully and this can give him a room to join our business”
For a couple of seconds, the conference room was filled with the sound of clapping as everyone congratulates Rowan.
“Okay. With the information he submitted, we didn’t quite get the face behind all of this but we are making a progress.”
“We are the COSA nostra and we can’t be seen going down. The warehouse displayed here is one of the things Rowan find out in his mission. We ain’t quite sure who owns the warehouse as no one was seen there but we find some of our drugs which still has our label on it” Waylen kept quiet when someone raise his hand up.
“Does that mean that the person stealing the goods is an insider? A person among us?”
“That’s a great question Mr. Matt. We haven’t confirmed yet, but as it may be… We have to stay down and stand by till we figure this out and the reason we are being attacked.”
“From the picture you displayed, I think I noticed something” Another member speak up.
“If you noticed anything, please speak up”
There were silence as the member first looked at Chase watching his expression calmly before he speak up.
“The hand writing on the wall, is the same as the hand written threat letter we received a day before Mr Harrison’s daughter was killed.”
Chase’s eyes seem to brighten up as he looked at the man who also avoided his gaze.
“What are you saying Samaul?” Mr John asked him.
Waylen take this time to walk over his seat next to Rowan and sat down. He looked over at Chase and read his expression calmly.
“I’m sorry I mentioned the name but with what I see, which I’m sure others see too. I think whosoever that is behind this, might have a hand on Mr Harrison’s daughter’s demise too”
John Gotti hit his hand on the table in anger and stood up.
“No one is taking about the Harrison here! She is gone, do you understand?. She’s never part of the group , No one is after her killer, but if you’re so curious then that name is banned to be mentioned in my presence!” He yelled as everyone went silent.
“Father!…..” Rowan called but he raised his hand at him, telling him to remain silent.
“The meeting is over. Rowan’s inititation ceremony will be held two days from today ” John announced before walking out of the conference room.
“Samuel, you shouldn’t have said that. Keep it to yourself if you noticed anything” one of the member cautioned him.
“Chase, what do you think?” Another member asked him.
Chase looked at him and without a word , he stood up and walk out of the conference room too.
“Brother, I’ll be back. I need to talk to Chase” Rowan said to Waylen and stood up.
“You don’t have to go after him. We shouldn’t continue living under his shadow. He thinks he’s always the right and the perfect son, don’t give him the chance to make us feel down ” Waylen told him.
“What are you talking about? Chase is my brother…. Our brother”
“And I’m your brother too” Waylen said.
Rowan looked at him in surprise but then didn’t say a word until Waylen added.
“I’m just kidding, I’m not that heartless yunno? Go on!”
Rowan stared at him for some seconds then nodded and walk out of the Conference room.
Waylen turned to Samaul who was the only remaining one in the room as others already left too.
“You did a great Job. You go , I’ll leave first” Waylen shakes his hand before walking away.
Rowan approached Chase just when he was getting into his car.
“Brother!” Rowan called him and Chase turn to wait up for him.
“Where are you heading? Can we grab a glass of drink before you leave….?” Rowan ask.
Chase looked around and then sigh. He put his hand on his hair and scratch it a bit.
“Okay…”
Sitting at the bar, Rowan ordered for some drinks and the bartender obeyed.
“I’m glad father is satisfied . I feel proud of myself and I can’t wait for the initation ceremony”. Rowan said.
“You shouldn’t be so excited yet” Chase told him and he nodded.
“Did you and Waylen have a fight while I was away?” Rowan ask again after minutes of silence.
“I have much business to keep me busy. Why should I waste my time on him?” Chase replied and Rowan nodded.
“How’s Calista… She started college already? I missed her” Rowan smiled.
“Watch your mouth bruh! You can’t miss her as far as she’s under me.” Chase said out of the blue.
“Why are acting jealous?” Rowan raised his brows and stared at him in confusion.
“What do you mean acting jealous? Jealous of what…. ” Chase asked and drink the last bottle of wine in front of him.
“Don’t mind.” Rowan told him and look away.
“Charlotte is back….” Chase added and Boris turn to look at him with widely opened eyes.

Calista walked out of the classroom and head to the parking lot. She noticed that the car wasn’t there.
“Does that mean Tyrell won’t be coming to pick me up?” She asked no one in particular.
“I came to pick you up myself” she heard the voice she recognized immediately.
