Faz shot upright in his bed, he was drenched in sweat, breathing heavily. 'Was... was that all a dream?' Faz quickly got up, noting that he was still in his suit and quickly ran into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and pulled down his collar. His eyes widened and he turned pale, there on his neck.. was an upside down cross. He felt tears prick in his eyes. "D-did I kill... a-all those men?" He leaned against the cabinets and slowly slid down. Just when he was one step from breaking down there was a knock at his door. He sucked in his breathe and assumed the worst.

"Knock~ Knock!~" Came a familiar voice and Jerry bursted in. "Heyyyy Roomie!! The boss is calling for ya!" Faz wiped his face and got up, he kinda liked Jerry. He was the only person that was nice to him since this whole ordeal went down. Faz wished they could've met differently, they could've been friends. He got up from the floor and brushed himself off, making his way towards Jerry. "T-the boss?" Faz muttered. Jerry nodded. "Yep!! And say good bye to this room forever!!" Faz looked a bit confused. "Um.. what?" He asked which only made Jerry's grin wider. "You're already moving up the ranks! You're gonna be living with us on the top floor! That's where all the bigshots are at!" Faz looked really confused. "B-but why?"

Jerry's grin darkened and he showed all his sharp teeth. "Well what do you think silly? You did such a good job, murdering all those men and protecting my older bro- I mean boss!" Faz was so stricken bu the murder part, he didn't even register anything else. He started hyperventilating and swaying a bit, "t-that r-really happened?" Jerry nodded and looked at him, not really minding that Faz was losing it. He felt his vision blur and slowly started falling. "Oh shit" was all he heard from Jerry, before plummeting into darkness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You're all old enough to have one" DK said, they were in the woods at the time, He took out three guns. Max gasped and immediately took one, pointing it at everything, Alex was a bit hesitant, but he took one nonetheless and started aiming it at randomly things in the woods. Faz.. well he stared at it. He... didn't want to touch it. DK patted him on the head, "what's wrong?" He asked and Faz looked up at him. "I don't want it" Faz said softly. DK crouched down and looked him in the eyes. "I wouldn't give it to you if.. if daddy wasn't so old. I want you boys to protect yourselves, in case something happens" he pulled Faz into a hug. "Especially you, You're my youngest and I would hate to have anything happen to you" Faz hugged him back, letting his words sink in. Before he could answer, Max spoke up, "Don't worry daddy! We'll protect Faz for ya!" DK smiled at them and Faz was relieved.

It didn't last long.

Faz was squirming, struggling, he was pulling on his restraints. He heard deep voices talking, but he couldn't see out of his blindfold. What were they gonna do to him? What's gonna happen? He doesn't remember much, he didn't wanna remember, there was something cold and metallic pressing against his head, he heard a gunshot, but nothing happened to him. He heard Max shouting as the object against his head disappeared and he heard grunting, thudding. Was this... all because of him? He was lifted up by someone , at first he panicked, but then he recognized their scent, Alex.

When they got back home. Max untied him and took of his blindfold. Faz teared up as he saw how Max and Alex looked. They were hurt... badly. He started crying and hugged Max, not noticing him wince. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry" Faz said and kept repeating it. DK entered the room and pried Faz off Max. He lifted up his chin and took off his mask. Faz sniffled and looked at him, DK smiled sadly. "Don't cry. Be a big boy and be brave. Max and Alex brought you back alive, be grateful you're still living." Faz hiccuped and took those words to heart

Forever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Faz slowly woke up and rubbed his eyes. 'Where am I?' He thought before realizing where he was and slumped back in his new bed. Jerry must've carried him in. He curled up in a ball and bit back tears, He's still alive right? That should be counted for something. He flinched when he heard large footsteps. He shuddered, he recognized those footsteps, they put so much fear into him. He heard the door slowly open and he immediately pretended to be asleep, this is how he got out of eating Max's breakfast, that kid needed lessons. Jamey took one look around the room before entering and closing the door behind him

He grabbed the chair from a nearby desk and sat down right next to his bed. He saw Faz tense up and chuckle. "I know you're not asleep. I'm not stupid" He took out a cigar. Faz still stubbornly pretended to be asleep, he didn't want to partake in whatever Jamey had in store for him. Jamey waited a bit before patting his pockets. "Oh no. Looks like I have no lighter, do you mind?" Before Faz could even register his words, he sat upright and took out a lighter from his pocket, he didn't even know he had one! And lit Jamey's cigar. Faz blinked, showing his dark red eyes and watched carefully as Jamey took a drag, like he was worried he messed up on lighting it. "Thanks darling" he replied finally and Faz shook his head, making his eyes go back to baby blue. It was like... something possessed him, his mind went blank and he.. he just did whatever Jamey told him to do. "Y'know, I don't like guns either" Faz looked at him wide eyed, 'how did he-'

Jamey smiled and it looked genuine too. "I hate guns. They took everything from me... my Mother, My love... My younger brother... everything. It still hurts y'know? That's why I never gave ya a gun. I gave ya a crowbar" Faz actually felt a little bad. He had no idea Jamey felt the same pain as he ha- What was he saying?! This was a bad man! He kidnapped you and cut your neck! Faz shook his head out of those thoughts, earning a chuckle from Jamey. "It's normal" He said in a dark tone, making Faz automatically nod. "Your thoughts? There's nothing wrong for showing compassion to your boss. He did save you after all" He smiled at him. Faz looked at him confused as his head started to buzz. Save? What did he mean by that? Jamey chuckled and said, "Those bad people" he tsked. "Why would they target such an innocent boy like you? You didn't even know how to defend yourself" What bad people? Defend? Who was he talking about?

"Those Wilde's. It hurts when they try to kidnap a small child as yourself" Oh.. that's right. The Wilde's... who were they again? "They tried to kill you Faz!" Jamey spoke louder and made Faz flinch. "They tried to take ya and kill ya! But.. luckily for you, I was there" Oh yeah.. he remembers now. He's so grateful to Mr.Haylel. He would forever be in his debt after he saved Faz from those gangsters. Faz nodded and smiled. Jamey smirked, "there's that smile I was looking for. There's the Faz I once knew! I'm so glad to have you back with me" He held out his hand and Faz took it, pressing it against his cheek. "You won't leave me again right?" Faz finally said and Jamey watched as the red slowly began to eat up his precious baby blue eyes. Jamey caressed his cheek and took the cigar out of his mouth. "I promise ya, I won't ever leave you out of my sights again" Faz yawned, feeling really sleepy. Jamey pulled his hand away and tsked. 'The effects only took over awhile, but drain a lot of the human energy. It probably lasted longer due to Faz being half human' Jamey thought and watched as Faz slowly drifted off. Oh well, the seed as been planted. Now all he had to do was watch it grow

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Faz held his head as he took a look around his new room. "He's so kind to me" he found himself saying. "So kind and generous" he found himself being giddy at what he was saying, until Jerry burst into his room yet again, making him snap out of his thoughts. His head hurt.

"Hey! Now that we're best friends, we have go get lattes and boba tea!!" Jerry pleaded with him, making puppy eyes at Faz stared at him a bit nervously. "O-ok" Faz replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile Max and Alex were still preparing to meet this so called purple haired fellow. "Twenty-four hours" Max muttered and threw his playing cards on the table. "We should be thinking of a plan to get Faz out of that god forsaken place!" Max looked out his window, he could see the tower from here. "Who knows what they're doing to him?!"

Jerry stuffed Faz's coat with clean unmarked bills, holding a gun towards the woman behind the counter. "Thanks dollface!!" As they both ran out, hearing police sirens, Faz wanted to cry as they stopped in front of the clothing store.

Alex sighed and looked at Max, he couldn't blame the guy. Even he was worried about his little brother, but as the (kinda) oldest, he had to follow orders and wait. Even if he himself didn't like it. Max paced around the room unhappily, it was just like their first mission. Alex shook his head, he didn't wanna remember that, not now and not ever. He abruptly got up and grabbed Max by the shoulders. "Stop. You're only stressing yourself out, we only have twenty-five hours left till we meet him. Please, behave yourself" Alex mentally kicked himself for sounding so lame, he should be comforting his twin, not giving him a lecture. Max frowned and slapped his hands off. "Shut up, How come your so chill, huh?!" Max growled and Alex knew he needed to devolve the situation. He kept his stern look and replied, "because I need to be, it's hard being the oldest. Someone needs to take charge"

Okay, wow. You just called him immature, Max seemed even more upset by his answer and pulled away from him, grabbing his coat. "I'm going to a bar" he muttered and left the room, slamming the door behind him in the process. Alex winced and rubbed his temples, he was so bad at this. He's been so desensitized, he doesn't know how to feel anymore. He did wonder what his little brother was doing now...

Faz was visibly shaking as Jerry held a gun against a woman's head, she was pleading for her life. She never wanted to witness what had happened, she wouldn't tell a soul, but when Jerry smiled, that was it. He looked away as he heard the gunshot and felt the blood splatter on him, he kept down the bile that was threatening to spill out as Jerry licked the blood off the barrel. "Mm... time to get those lattes and boba teas I told you about!" he cheerfully said as they left the corpse, rotting in the alleyway.

Alex prayed that it wasn't anything to bad.

Jerry pushed a cigar in Faz's mouth for celebration. The cigar smuggling went off without a hitch, he lit up the cigars and inhaled the tobacco. Faz went into a straight coughing fit as he took big gulps of air. He heard Jerry snicker, "sissy" and Faz's heart sank, Jerry was no saint, he actually thought Jerry was his friend... he's just like him. Their both demons, devils, whatever!! Jerry whistled happily as he pushed the cigar back in his mouth. "Stop being a sissy and just inhale it already! The stuff about it giving you lung cancer is soooo fake!" Faz coughed and struggled in his grasp, finally freeing himself and dropping the cigar as the dam finally broke and he fell to his knees crying.

He wanted to go home- this was his home! Isn't it beautiful?- he didn't like it here!- he loved it! That was really great Boba tea he had!- He just wanted to be back with his family- Jamey and Jerry! They're so great!- he sobbed harder as Jerry crouched next to him and gave him a hug.

Alex felt a shiver down his spine. He looked around and noticed how awfully quiet it was. He suddenly felt really sick.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next had come quicker then anyone else anticipated. CK brought Max and Alex to his office once more before sending them off. "The Camilla's are crafty bastards. But their rich, so be warned. I have a plan to make sure they won't play any tricks on us" He took out a flyer and placed it in front of them, opening it up and showing the contents. They were photographs, photographs of two people, over and over again. "These people look like regular people right?" He pointed at a man with a small beard and a braid in his hair. "He works at a donut shop with-" he motioned towards another brown haired figure, more soft features and spiky hair, a small stitch could be seen on his neck.

"They both have contact with the Camila's. I'm sure these people... are important to our dear friends, their names are on the back of the photos and-" Alex and Max nodded along. "I say... you bring them with you when you're negotiating with the Camila's" He looked at them. Alex nodded and Max grunted in agreement. "They look innocent though... are you sure?" Ah Alex, cautious and hesitant as always. "You must've always trust your eyes Alex. You have to be ready to take the dive and try and uncover deeper mysteries" CK answered. "Now, take them, threaten the Camila's with them. We want their full cooperation with us. If not... there will be bloodshed. The blood will be from that damn demon who poisoned my son"

Alex and Max looked at each other before bowing. "Yes Capo" and they both got up and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm taking out the trash!" One guy said to his partner. The other guy replied back with a, "yeah, Yeah" the guy hoisted the bag over his shoulder and trudged out. He hummed a little tune as he went through the back door and threw his trash away. Before he could leave, two pairs of hands, grabbed him and clamped him on the mouth. "Nat Baker?" A voice spoke. The man named Nat nodded timidly and was dragged off into an alleyway.

The other guy was checking his watch. "Where is he?" He muttered. "It should not take that long to take out the trash" He filled out the rest of the orders and went on a five minute break. He went out the back door and looked around. "Nat?!" He called out and checked the dumpster. "Where are you?!" He yelled out, before someone spoke up from behind him, "same place as you're going" Before he could turn around, he was knocked unconscious. "Max!! That was so fucking loud! Are you sure that's Mike Baker?" Alex whisper-yelled and took out the photo, relaxing when he was indeed, Mike Baker. "Okay, bring him in" Max puts his bat away and picked up Mike Baker, with a little bit of struggle and threw him in the car's trunk with a passed out Nat. "Maybe I should've used the chloroform like you" Max said and closed the trunk. Alex rolled his eyes and got in the car, "ya think?" He smirked as Max pouted and got in the passenger's seat.

They both drove to the Camila's, it was long, but it was easy to spot them. The Camila's were damn rich, they were so rich, they decided to make everything gold, nobody knows why they did it, probably to show off and intimidate their enemies. Gold buildings, they made the citizens wear gold, gold flaked food, glitter gold, the works. Even the street lamps and signs were painted gold. "Everything's hurting my eyes" Max said as he shielded his eyes from the shining gold. "Every building looks the fucking same, where were we suppose to go again?" Alex asked as Max pulled out his map. "Next to the huge ass tower, in the alley" He said and pointed towards the direction, making Alex follow his finger.

"Fucking Finally" a voice from the alleyway, muttered. He watched as two red headed boys filed out and made their way towards him. "Hello?" One
Of them asked, he had no idea which. "I see you're here to make the deal." The voice answered and smiled. They couldn't really see him, but they swore they saw devil horns. "Yes we're here to speak of the deal" The other one replied. "Excellent, now-" They stopped him. "Actually, we have a proposition for you. In order for you and the big guys upstairs to actually take us seriously AND to make sure you don't flake out. We have something of yours" one of them went to their car. The voice scoffed, "what could you possibly-" He gasped when he saw the man take out Nat and Mike. The figure immediately emerged, "No! No no! That's not fair!! Don't hurt them please!" He pleaded. "L-look! We'll meet with John okay?! M-my name is Felix Camila and I'm the wife of John Camila! Please!! Don't hurt them" Felix Camila had purple long hair and floating horns. He had markings underneath his eyes and beaming gold eyes. The redheads both smirked, looks like DK was right about them. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, my names Alex and this is Max" He gestured to Max holding up Mike and Nat. Felix nodded, "Can you put them down now?"

Max looked at Alex and Alex shrugged. He put them down and Felix was already all over them, looking at their injuries and noted that Mike had a huge bump on his head and made sure to check their vitals. He sighed in relief when no danger was evident. Alex cleared his throat and Felix looked at him, "our deal" Felix nodded, "but you have to help me take Nat and Mike up" Alex shrugged and picked up Nat while Max picked up Mike. "Why do you care so much about these guys anyways?" Felix ignored him and walked into the building with them. "None of your business, I'm not answering any of your questions until we get to John" Max deadpanned and shrugged, looking around and noting that everything was also made of gold. "Fine" Felix continued onward as they made their way towards an elevator and stepped inside, even the inside was gold, this was getting ridiculous. He pushed the button to go all the way to the top floor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Felix trudged past alleyways, looking at the buildings, "ugh, lame, boring" He stopped once he heard screaming. He knew he shouldn't have gone and checked, but he did anyways and ran to the source of the screaming. It was a little dark, but he saw a woman and she was getting brutally beaten by a group of men, they were going to kill her! "HEY!" He shouted at them. The men all turned and looked at him, one specifically came out and grinned sinisterly at him. "What? You her knight in shining armor?" He said and raised up his crowbar. Felix wasn't afraid, even though he should be, he held his ground and replied back, "something like that! Now step away from the lady" The man came out closer into the light. "Nice hair, did you get it half off at the wig store?" He's never seen such ugly green matted hair before. The man growled and flew at him. Felix dodged and kneed him in the stomach, punching him straight in the face. The man held his stomach for a bit, Felix was pretty sure he was the leader. "Nice dodge" He said, suddenly he was grabbed from behind and watched as he slowly stood up and went over to him. "Can you dodge this?" He slammed his crowbar against his head.

"You're breaking up with me?!" Felix angrily slammed his fists on Jamey's desk. "Nothing personal. You just lost your spark" Jamey hummed and puffed out smoke. "It's because of him isn't it?!" He screamed out. He knew Jinx and Jamey were fooling behind his back, he fucking knew it! "Whatever do you mean?" Jamey tilted his head and Felix growled. "Go rot in hell!!" He spat in Jamey's face and ran out. Jamey wiped the spit off his face and grinned, "so pathetic"

Felix kicked a rock as he trudged down the street. "Stupid, stupid, stupid" Felix muttered to himself, not noticing or acknowledging the people around him and he crashed into a large man. "HEY! Watch where you're going fuck face!!" He screamed at the man, causing a few glances his way, but no one stopped, it was better that way. The man slowly got up and bowed. "My apologies. I wasn't looking where I was going" He smiled apologetically. Felix grunted and walked past him, but was stopped. "You look upset, I'm sorry. I didn't hurt you did I?" He asked Felix and Felix.. just stared. Why was this man apologizing so much? He felt a pang in his chest, was he guilty? After a moment of silence Felix finally said, "No, No. you're okay." He rubbed his face. "Just.. it's been a long day" damnit, he felt like crying. Jamey breaking up with him.. hurt worse then any of the other breakups he had, he really thought Jamey and him were gonna last. How stupid he was.

"Hey" he snapped out of his thoughts when The man waved a hand in front of his face. "You're crying" Felix felt his face and he indeed was crying, he wiped them away. "I-I'm not. I-I'm leaving" he stuttered out, but was stopped again before he could even get a few steps. "How about I treat you to lunch?" The man asked, why was he trying so hard to be friends with Felix, before he could say no, the man spoke again, "Please? You look so upset and I hate to see a pretty face like yours so down" He smiled. "My name is John Camila" He extended his hand towards him. Felix stared at it before clasping it. "Felix God and... I would love to get lunch"

Felix never felt so happy in his life. John was so nice to him, John didn't have sex with him, they made love! He treated Felix like a king, no... like a god. "How can you afford everything?" He asked John one night, as they were laying in bed. John tensed up and Felix noticed, it was a very touchy subject, but Felix wanted to know and John thinks he should know. "This won't be easy to hear" He muttered and Felix assumed the worst. "I'm a mob boss" Felix slowly blinked at him before nodding. "Oh okay" He pulled John closer and was ready to doze off. "Wait.. that's it?" Felix looked at him. "Yeah. I've dated a mob boss before, I thought you were gonna say like you were a stripper or something!" He laughed which made John chuckle. "Alright, I love you" Felix hugged him tight and for the first time in what seemed like forever, he can finally reply with, "I love you too"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Felix stepped out of the elevator and made sure the redheads were following before stopping in front of a door. "This is where we're gonna put Nat and Mike, stay out here" He grabbed Mike and Nat from them and entered the room. "He's strong" Max commented. Felix made sure that they were well comfortable. He didn't want anything bad to happen to them, not again. He exited the room to find that the redheads were still there, "that took forever, will you finally tell us, why you're so attached to these guys?" Alex elbowed Max, "be nice" he muttered, Felix sighed exasperated. "No, I won't" he continued down the path to huge double doors. Surprisingly, these were the only doors that weren't gold plated. Felix quickly threw them open, "John!!" He shouted, which made the man named John, jump in his seat and let papers go everywhere. "Felix!! What the fuck?!" He responded angrily, before he stopped himself and looked at the two redheads behind him. "What? I thought we agree-" Felix stopped him, "they used Nat and Mike against us" John slammed his fists against the table. "WHAT?!" He yelled out, making all of them flinch. John was pretty nice, but he knows how to be mean if his family is involved. "I-it's okay! They're safe now! But.. I promised them about the deal."

John sat back, he rubbed his face and he looked at them. "What do you boys want?" Alex stepped forward. "We want you to join our side. Our d- Capo, is starting something, that we need you to be a part of" John looked at him. "The "something" you are referring to, is a mob war, am I correct?" He saw Alex tense up a bit, but Max placed his hand on his shoulder, "that is correct" he answered for him. "Why would we agree to that?" John crossed his arms, waiting for a reply. "The Haylel's" Max answered. Hearing that name made Felix tense up and John noticed. "The Haylel's have something of ours that they took by force, they have one of our most valued member" Alex nodded, "you need to help us get him back, it doesn't actually have to end in a mob war, it will only be our last resort if we cannot get him. Our capo truly cares about him, that's why he was so quick for a mob war, we are open to suggestions" John thought about this for a moment.

"You're not very good at this, nonetheless. I will help you, I've been meaning to trash those Haylel's for awhile now" He snapped his fingers and immediately two boys entered the room. "These are my children, Mel and Flaz. They will help you" Mel and Flaz bowed at them and noted that they had green hair. "Twins huh?" Mel said and brought Flaz closer, "we're twins!!" He smiled and Flaz pushed him away. "Yes yes" He brushed himself off. John cleared his throat, turning their attention towards him. "You will help these boys get their respected member back, do not fail" The boys saluted him and they looked at the redheads. "Shall we then?" Mel said and pushed them out, flaz trailing behind.

Felix looked at John. "You sure this is a good idea?" John sighed and looked at him. "I'm not sure anymore, ever since the new guy took over Haylel industries, it's been... a madhouse down there. Lucy should have never retired, but then again... he wasn't any better" Felix went over to him and got on his lap. "Let's pray, they make out alive" John strokes Felix's hair. "They will, I wouldn't have sent them out if they weren't ready" Felix nodded and hugged him closer. They would just have to wait.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ahhhhh 4,000 woooooords

Also I will tell the story of how they met Nat and Mike, I just didn't know how to include it in this chapter
