I had plenty to do, but this had to be taken care of. As the head of the family in the US, I couldn’t just let shit go. I had to make sure the families of my men in lock-up were taken care of. The women and children would be provided for, no matter what. The older boys would be taken under the uncles' wings and the girls would be married to good men. We took care of our own.
So, the warehouse meetings had to keep going whether I liked being away from my small immediate family or not. I thought about my woman sleeping in our bed as I left her and my daughter in that big house alone. They were as safe as I could make them until I got home and could ensure their safety myself, but a part of my heart was there with them.
I drove up to the warehouse, having made sure I didn’t have a tail, and parked the car out of sight of any passers-by.
I was working less and less at my legit job.
