Struggle: Part 5

100% fiction!

Aiden listened on the entire conversation and couldn't believe his ears, he was absolutely in shock. He wanted to hide, he wanted to run away, but he saw who Hunter really was beneath the skin. He decided to go for a walk, he grabbed his shoes and slipped them on. He headed toward the door. He grabbed the knob, and headed out. He proceeded to walk towards the end of Hunters street.

He noticed a white van following him. He looked back at it in a way that's not too noticeable he made a quick right turn at the intersection to try and lose them but it didn't work. He got scared. Maybe his mom was right, maybe he never should of considered dating a Fontaine. But he didn't care at the time. Hunter loved him. Aiden finally knows what that feels like.

He looked back at the van, it was gone. He looked around and saw it on the other side of the road, it swerved towards Aiden and stopped. 3 men got out and chased Aiden back up the street. The three men pulled their guns and fired 5 times... 3 hits. Aiden felt each round pass through his body. He immediately lost his breath. "give my regards to Hunter!!!" one of the men screamed. aiden dropped to one knee, and put his hand on the ground.

He felt light headed, and fell completely on his back. A passing officer stopped and called for help. Aidens vision went dark, the last thing he saw was the officer standing over him. The EMTs arrived on the scene and immediately got the stretcher. They loaded him into the Ambulance, and they proceeded to mercy general hospital.

Hunter sat in his chair as Tom suggested to buy a casino in Lake Tahoe, Atlantic City, Connecticut, and Rhode island.
Clamenza opened the door. "hunter.... Can I see you for a minute?" he said
"excuse me." he got up from his chair. He entered the hallway where Clamenza was standing.
"they shot Aiden on the sidewalk about an hour ago. He's dead..." Clamenza said.

Hunter lost his balance, and fell to his knees. He Bawled his eyes out. He couldn't believe it. He felt anger build up inside him, and he got up. He walked back to his desk and sat down.
"Tom... I.... I... I don't know what to do."
"I can find out who killed Aiden... Would you like me to do that?" Tom said.
"yeah... I want them alive. Understand?"

"understood Hunter." Tom replied. Tom got on the phone and started making some calls. He talked for a good 45 minutes with 5 different people. Tom got off the phone and looked at hunter. "what is it Tom?"
"it was Genco, who killed Aiden...now Hunter, were big but were not big enough to attack the Gencos."
"I don't care." Hunter shouted.

"hunter please hear me out. If you descide to do this, your fathers political protection will run for cover! They won't hang around anymore if you go and kill hundreds of people in acts of vengeance."
"your right." Hunter said. "I just at least want those sons of bitches sitting right in front of me."
"we will make it happen hunter. I promise you that." Tom replied.

"I don't want to change the subject but there are very important things we need to discuss, Hunter." Tom said " Can you give us a minute?" Tom said looking back at the remaining people in the office. They left.
"now. This fellow that wants to see you next week is Omar Suarez, a worldwide leader in narcotics. He wants to make you an offer you can't refuse. Now he says that if we give thin $1,000,000 in cash and political protection, we will get a piece of the action. I couldn't find out how much though." Tom explained

"alright Tom, I'll meet with him once I get back from New York. I have to go see Ethan. dad was his dad too." hunter said.
"yeah, but are you sure your brother wants to see you? That's why he left. Because he thought your father loved you more." Tom said.
"I know. But he's only 18, I'm sure that's over with. Besides, mom needs to know too."

"what do you want me to do while your in school though? We haven't made a plan yet."
"it's simple Tom. You'll be temporary boss while I'm in school. Sound good?" Hunter said.
"yeah, sure."

"get Clamenza. I want him there with me so I feel safe." Hunter said.
"sure kid." he left to go see Clamenza. Clamenza stepped in, "you want me to go with you kid?" he said
"yeah... I just don't feel safe.... Without you guys..." Hunter said.

"I'll go with you." Clamenza said. Several hours passed of daily family operations, and hunter was on their private plane and arrived in New York. They drove to his younger brothers house on west 23rd street. Hunter knocked on the door and his mother answered.
"hunter? Oh my god!! Look at you!"
"who is it mom?" Ethan said. Ethan stepped in front of mom completely shirtless with a guys arms wrapped around him. "oh... You... How's dads favorite kid?" he said obviously mad at Hunter.

"I came here because of dad."
"did he get in trouble again?" Ethan said.
"can I come in?"
"no. You can tell me right now." Ethan said
"dad had scaffold right in front of me... He didn't make it...."
"no....no! Your lying!!"

The guy holding Ethan left.
"I'm not..."
"I hate you!! No! This can't be real." Ethan said.

Ethan hit me In the shoulder, Clamenza reached into his jacket.
"wait.... Your the boss now? Dad gave it to you?"
"yeah."

"I still don't believe you! He didn't say he loves me... He never did. He liked you more because you were normal and not gay..."
"come here." Hunter said.
"no!"

Hunter grabbed him, he struggles to get away. Hunter pulled him in and Ethan cried on his shoulder.
"no" he said through the tears.
