"He did when he took her virginity at your dad's birthday party in the bathroom of the hotel," Cenzo snapped. "He needs to own up to that and take care of her and their son. He should be lucky I haven't gone to Rico about that. I'm trying to show patience in hopes that he'll come around."
"And if he doesn't?" Dragon asked.
"Rico won't allow a rift in the family business because of this, and I won't continue to allow my sister to be discarded or disrespected. My nephew turns two in a month; Julian needs to make a decision by then, or I will go to Rico to see what he will do. They need to get married," Cenzo said.
"And if Julian doesn't?" Enzo asked.
"Then he and I will have a falling out. Who do you think will win?" Cenzo said.
Enzo sighed because he really didn't know how that fight would end. Both men were highly skilled fighters and didn't mind getting their hands bloody. One would be fighting for what he thought was the dignity of his sister, while the other would be fighting for his freedom from a relationship he didn't want. Both were far too important for their family to lose, and one was related by blood, as was his sister. He knew that his dad wouldnever let it get to that point. If push came to shove, he'd make Julian honor Bianca and bring that family together. Again, he was going to stay out of it because Cenzo was resolute in the matter, and now he had set a time limit for the desired result. He wondered what would happen in a month. First things first, though: deal with their enemies.
"Fair enough. Like I said, I'm not going to get into it with you," Enzo said, then pulled out his cell to text his father about the senator.
"Contacting your dad?" Cenzo asked.
Enzo nodded. "I just want him to know and let him make a decision."
"So, what are we about to do now, because I want some action." Dragon shifted in the chair to get more comfortable.
"We have some people we're going to take out as a mission for an acquaintance of ours. Whether or not I also take out this acquaintance is up to my father," Enzo said as he waited for the response from his dad.
"Cool. Listen, my dad contacted me and told us that he arranged for enforcements from Tampa and my chapter to help out when we get to Miami. Also, the chapter there will send some enforcers to aid us. The brothers from Tampa should be here within the hour," Dragon said.
Enzo pursed his lips and nodded. "Appreciated. How many?"
"Two from Tampa and five will help us out from the Miami chapter," Dragon said.
"What about Orlando?" Cenzo asked.
"There's me, and then Nine Iron, and Burger should be here in the next twenty minutes," Dragon said.
Enzo cocked an eyebrow. "Just two from Tampa?"
Dragon nodded. "Two enforcers." He said it like that's all who needed to be sent.
"Are they on your level?" Enzo asked because Dragon had surpassed his expectations. "What about Nine Iron and Burger..." he paused to chuckle at the nicknames. "I must say, you have some colorful names."
"Aren't you known as 'The Prince,' and your father is 'The Monk,' and your uncle is 'The Vise'?" Dragon reminded.
Enzo nodded. "And we have a member also called 'The Dagger,' but our nicknames aren't for every member of the family. Only those who hold significant positions can have nicknames. With your club, everyone gets a nickname, right?"
"We like to call them road names," Dragon corrected.
"Ahh, I see," Enzo said and nodded. "I just find it interesting. I'm not trying to mock. But can you answer my question about their skill level?"
Dragon decided to let it go since no harm was done. Bikers would never let anyone disrespect them, but he could see that wasn't Enzo's intention. "They aren't on my level, more on Nine's level, which is still a force to be reckoned with. Burger has been training with Akari, so even I'm curious to see how much he's improved."
"We'll need some badasses because the Triad happens to be our toughest opponent," Enzo said.
Dragon nodded "I love my brothers, but few are on my level. But don't worry, Jazz and Blazer can handle their business. And hell, Miami is sending Bulldozer, which is like sending an actual fucking bulldozer—which is how he got his road name."
Enzo smirked. "I really want to know the meaning behind those names, including yours, Dragon."
"I got mine at eighteen after I set this fucker on fire who pissed me off. He was a son of a bitch who tried to rape my little sister Sofia. I went to pick her up from her shift and heard her screaming. I found him with his pants down and struggling to put it in her. He was my first kill, and my sister said that Ilooked like a majestic beast at that moment—gallant, fierce, and violent, like a dragon. That's how I got it," Dragon said. "I have a huge dragon tattoo on my back that wraps around my body. I also have a lion with a crown tattoo because I'm the king of the enforcers of our chapter."
"And the cyborg arm?" Cenzo inquired because he adored the level of artistic skill it took to design it.
"That was my next question," Enzo said.
