6, N‘s not too late to get back into the car,” Mall whispered, gesturing to the car behind harus “don‘t think it‘s sale to walk to the warehouse...” 

Parung Matt on the back, Elijah smiled and teased, “Grow some backbone, man” 

‘t have a backbone. I‘m just worried about your safety. Your father will not be happy with my performance if a bullet or knife strikes through your heart. Matt thought to himself, keeping quint about his concerns. ‘I don‘t want this to go South, boss, 

Waking his head lightly, Elijah pulled out his phone, scrolled through his contact, and Nopped at Jerome‘s number, dialing it without hesitation, 

The phone rang twice before there was a click and Jerome answered, “Hey, boss.”

“I‘m outside. Come out,” Elijah ordered calmly, his eyes scanning the surrounding area.

The lime went quiet for a time that felt too long to Elijah, and he eyed Matt, feeling contemplated because of his man’s warning and his own desire to figure out what was going

Finally, a sound from the phone speaker made Elijah look back at the warehouse door, seeing tie door lift 

“Poss,” Matt whispered, standing his ground to stay alert, knowing that they were in foreign frrritory and that whoever had opened the door was either a friend or foe. 

Finally, when the door was up and Jerome abruptly ended the call, Elijah saw men, robust, tall, short, and muscular guys, walking out of the door one step at a time. 

And when the last guy stepped out, Elijah could guess that they were close to sixty men, and when he eyed Matt, he could see the look of composure on his face and yet stress in his eyes as he clenched his fists, “Boss, this will be the best time to get into the car, now!” Matt whispered, yet his voice was firm, but his eyes showed his fear. 

Studying the faces of these men and how their hands were positioned in their front, Elijah‘s brows snapped in concentration, and then said, “No, wait...” 

Suddenly, Dice made his way ahead of all the men and approached Elijah, his expression unreadable and serious, 

When he stopped in front of Elijah, two steps away, both men looked into each other‘s eyes, holding intense eye contact, and even though their eyes seemed like they were screaming at each other, there seemed to be a calmness in between them, and neither one moved. 

Sighing, Dice looked back at his men, seeing a sense of worry and concern painted across each of their faces. He then glanced back over at Elijah, his eyebrows raising slightly. “Why are you getting involved with a bunch of robbers, if you have the police at your back?” Dice inquired, sounding suspicious as he studied Elijah‘s facial expressions. “To have the best of both worlds... I mean the police can not kidnap someone for me, can they? “Elijah questioned nonchalantly, 

The men’s expressions softened after those words and Larry looked at Rick and said, “This guy is dangerous and clever. I see why the boss and young boss are so into working with him, and I approve of him... I like his boldness.” 

“Well, I do see what they see in him... Plus, the boss said that he made a good offer of one hundred thousand dollars to us... so I don‘t mind working for him.” 

Watching the faces of the men whispering, Elijah then focused back on Dice and said, “So what now... Are you guys going to kill me, kidnap me, beat the shit out of me, or tell me about 

this rat you guys caught?” His words made all the men snap their heads back to Elijah, eyes wide open and jaws hanging loose, shocked by his statement.

“Which one of those is going to happen?!” Elijah asked after a long moment of silence. Suddenly, Dice smirked and said in a loud voice, “Well, I wanted you to meet the entire crew and for them to see their new leader... the man that their boss and his son would boldly bow to because of his dignity and honor... The man that they are proud to be a part of... And most of all, the man who is also part of our family now.” At last, Matt could finally breathe, feeling relieved that they weren‘t going to hurt Elijah, though he still stood in his place, watching everything unfold. “Men, Elijah... Elijah, the men!” Dice yelled, catching everyone‘s attention. “We are at your service, Boss Elijah!!” All the men said almost in unison, bowing their heads to Elijah in respect. When Dice extended his hands to shake Elijah‘s hand, Elijah grabbed his wrist and pulled him into a hug, tapping him three times on the back before releasing him. “So, what do you have for me, concerning the rat?” Elijah asked, folding his arms against his chest as he observed the men. “Well. The guy confessed after a little bit of conversation with him,” Dice said with a pleased smile, causing Elijah to look down at his bruised knuckles, 2
