“What makes you think I’m gonna fall under you… I’ve been ruling this town for nearly ten years!” He said.

I thought I should take the lead now; I’ve been quiet for enough time.

“Mr. Garcia… I’m going to make it nice and simple for you. You can either join us… the McCutcheon’s… because well; you want your brothers alive… and because in six months time you’ll have all the riches in the world… you’ll have fast cars and big houses; pretty girls around your waist… I’m sure; you would love that… isn’t that right; Mr. Garcia?” I said.

He sat quiet; thinking about what I just said.

“I have contacts Escobar…” I called him by his first name now. “I have contacts that you would never imagine I would have… You know how big the McCutcheon’s are; well we want it to be bigger….dealers and insiders all around the world; I have the biggest cocaine drug lord in my hand and he is just dying to get into the LA market…. you; my friend… can be rich beyond your wildest imagination…. and all I need from you; is you and your men co-operation…” I laid it all on him; I told him what he wanted to hear.

“There’s a catch in all of this… you think you can fool me chica…” He said after a while; one hand on his chin and with a raise eyebrow.

“No, no… There’s no catch… except there will be no more Garcia’s; when you decide to co-operate with us. It’s just the McCutcheon’s… and you and of course your brothers; you’re gonna take orders from me…you all going to work for me…”I said.

“No…” He said. “I ain’t gonna work for nobody…” He continued.

“Your pride will bring great trouble Escobar…” I said to him.

“Listen… you think I’m going to tell my men that in ten minutes time I’ll work under a McCutcheon… you think I’m just gonna let go of what I build!”

“Escobar; Escobar…. you are still going to rule but the only difference is I’m going to overrule you… ; you will still collect your taxes from the neighborhood and all those little things… but I’m talking to you about where the big money is! I’m offering you to be apart of it! And if you still do digress… I will do anything and everything to fight for this land… even if that means killing every single one of your family…” I said coldly.

“You’ve got balls chica…” He said after a while. “I’ve heard of the McCutcheon’s… and it’s true to the words I’ve heard….” He said and stood up; he walked to us and leaned on to the side of the table.

“I’m gonna have to think about this…” He said.

“We’ll give you two nights… meet me at a club called The Planet… 12.00am… it’ll be busy then… a good cover…”I said.

“The gay club?” He raised an eyebrow. I nodded at him. “Even better…” He said. He whistled to his men outside the dingy office. They came in immediately. “Please guide these ladies out…” He said to one of them.

We both stood up at the same time. Jenny walked off first and out the door; one of the guys quickly followed him. I extend my hand out to him and he took it with respect. “It was a pleasure meeting you… I hope you make the right choice…” I said to him and he nodded to me slightly.

We both let go and he stood up fro leaning in his desk. “Please keep my brothers safe…” he said to me; his face serious and pathetic.

“Your choice will determine their lives…” I said to him and started walking to the door.

“Hey!” He called out. I stopped and turned to him again.

“So… are you the cousin of big boss Gabe or something??” Big Boss Gabe is one of my dad’s names known around the underworld.

“Gabriel McCutcheon is my father…” I said to him.

“Shit…” I heard him say.
