Seamus nodded.“I agree with you, Uncle.But nowadays, we can’t do that.”
“Yes, Uncle it’s against the law last I heard,” Aiden quipped.
Liam shook his head at this statement.“Well maybe if we did that more often, there would be less of this kind of violence.”
“Amen to that.”Finn nodded.
Colin smirked at Liam and Finn.“It’s good to see that people don’t change, eh brothers?You two were always fast and furious with the fight and helluva funny too.But can you imagine if she was hanging from a tree in the park?”
Both of his older brothers chuckled at this.
“Are you encouraging them, Uncle Colin?”Seamus grumbled.“If we let these two loose on their own, there would be mischievous mayhem for sure.”
Liam and Finn both beamed proudly as they nodded their heads.
“Yeah?”Arthur asked.“So which one is Mischievous and which one is Mayhem?”
Chuckles echoed in the room.
“Well, as much as I agree with them,” Shay interjected.“We can’t have bodies hanging from trees, fellas.”
“Too bad,” Finn grumbled.“I brought some grand rope and it was made in Ireland too.That means it is unbreakable.It would do the job for sure.It’s in my suitcase.”
At this, Colin laughed then gasped while he winced.
“But hanging her might be the best idea, ya know?That woman is teched in the head,” Liam went on.“Purely mental.Crazy as a banshee on opioids.It wasn’t us that arrested her brother nor did we kill the other brother.But what does she do?She goes after us.”
Finn agreed, “And her dad had been in jail a good long time.We didn’t hurt her at all.”
Liam snorted.“You’ll all notice that she didn’t mention her husband nor her lover in that note, right?”
Colin looked over at him.“What does that mean?”
“Moses Lord.”
Shay nodded.“That man was helluva smart.He managed to stay in business with Stuart and Ford, all while having a hot affair with Shanan behind Stuart's back.”
Liam nodded.“They were planning a hostile takeover to take the reins of the empire from MacGruder.But Moses didn’t live long enough to do it.Lord was on the way to the top for sure.”
“Yes, until he tried to kill my son Sean,” Seamus cut in.
“What happened?”Lora asked in concern.
“Ciara happened,” Seamus replied.“You see Moses had her watched as he knew she was going to inherit a fortune.He had his nephew Rosco become her ally for several years.Then Moses and Rosco had a meeting and Ciara as well as Sean showed up too.Cause they followed Rosco there.Rosco apparently was loyal to Ciara in the end because he shot his uncle for trying to kill Ciara.He, himself, caught a bullet and died.”
“That must have been sad for her.”Lora shook her head.“To have trusted a friend and then find that out.Then he is killed right in front of her?”
Seamus nodded as the room got quiet.
