The moon was high up in the sky, as a sneaky duo ran through the streets of Seattle. They stopped, and then separated, taking a different path. There was a tall, well built black man, dressed very fancily for a midnight escapade. He was wearing a white suite, with small black stripes, which made it look greyish, with a sky blue shirt and ivory brown shoes. The bottom of his pants and his shoes where soaked, due to the fact that it had rained previously in the day and the roads were still wet, and pretty slippery. But that wouldn’t stop him.

Fucking amateur mafioso’s selling drugs on his turf. Usually, he was okay with giving a warning, and then acting. But this time, it was different. His friend Jupiler came back during the day, roughed up, claiming some guys had mugged him and stole his cash. They clearly didn’t know who  they were dealing with, because messing with the Trane was not sane. 

He kept on walking until he saw what he was looking for, the ladder. He quickly climbed up the rusted ladder and took out his binoculars. A quick glance to the street down below confirmed he was at the right spot. The smirky mob member was there, waiting for his customer. He had to wait for the signal before delivering the performance of a lifetime as a drug buyer.

The woman heard about what happened to her friend and dear crewmember Jupiler. It was quite some shocking news, but this was an underground world after all. Everyone had their own reasons as to why they joined this alter reality.. yes dark reality, that most people are not even aware of. Some were forced, some just joined because it was convenient, while others live for this kind of life. The 1,70 tall woman with long, light brown hair known as Sabrina was among those who joined because they wanted to live a better life.  She was not even originally from here but just joined the States to be able to live the American dream, that everyone praised. Reality does however often come crushing in, trampling all the naive dreams, that the news and a few lucky ones always talked about under its foot. The same is true for this woman in her middle 20s. Where was the American dream, that everyone talked about? As she first arrived in Chicago she was living on the streets, as a homeless person for some while. Snatching purses to survive, something that she never thought that she would do. However, this was unfortunately not true. She got approached by a woman who happened to become the godfather later on and since ever she got into this dark life. 

This was, however, some time ago, as she became godmother she could only take her best and most loyal members with her, which she understood so she joined Coltrane´s the blue Trane crew and that is where this story continues today. The move from Chicago to Seattle was easy since she managed to get a lot of money and even makes very good cash today. Her family in her home country think that she is a human resource manager in a big international company which is not true, but she could obviously not tell them the truth for their own protection, but also because they would be extremely disappointed. Sabrina is wearing black jeans, a black top and sneakers as she is following her Boss before they go separate ways to close the ways for the thug that dared to hurt their friend. ''Be safe there Colt'' she added before going into a dark alley. To people outside of the underworld, she would never seem to be a mafioso as she always seems to be in a good mood. How wrong they are, how wrong everyone further was to think, that she was the happiest person, that they ever met. She has been through hell and in depression, drinking heavily on more than one occasion, even if she quickly got back into her feet. This was not the naive girl anymore, that left her family back for the hope of a better life and to always send them some money over. This woman is a mature young adult who walked over a few corpses and is occasionally blackmailing the mayor to make sure, that he is giving her the information that she wants. How dark the times were, where she heard about friends from other cities dying. How dark the days are where she held the corpse of a crewmember in her arms. How dark everything was the last few days with the news of a war in a city. She also already had to shoot some people for the safety of her family, but also because they messed with the wrong people. There are plenty of scary hidden beneath the smake known as a smile, yet she always stands tall and tries to be a very positive and polite person. Goddammit.. she was the left-hand woman of the Blue Trane, a well-respected crew and for her, it was her duty to stand tall in desperate times and never show any weaknesses for longer, than needed.

She is in a dark alley, walking towards the target. Pretty much every woman would go insane, as no one knows what could happen in this very long dark alley. She is covered by darkness, yet remains more than calm. Walking very slowly, while also wearing black gloves and a dark coat. Wearing her hair in a ponytail as she just enjoys this darkness. Sometimes it turns out to be a good friend since it can help you to escape or simply cover things up, such as your moves towards someone of importance. She is slowly arriving near the end of the alley and leans back against the wall. Observing the target who messed with their friend and precious crewmember.  She was sure, that her boss was also already in position. She was already here to block his way, in case that he should come here.
 

Colt waited a good five minutes, then placed his hands in a cup and yelled the secret signal.

Cucka Cucka

It was time to act. He knew Sab was covering the alley in case the mafioso decided to escape. He climbed back down the ladder and walked around, hands in his pockets. It was time to stand up for his family, the only family he had ever had. He still remembered how young and honored he was when Godmother Marie authorized him under her in Chicago. She taught him to stand for his family and how to be a leader. Then Godfather Salvatore took him under his winger and gave him the opportunity to lead a district. Those were the days before he received the ultimate honor and was given the opportunity to rebuild Seattle by Godfather Salvatore and Godmother Marie. He hoped he made them proud, because they had taught him most of what he knew.

He shook himself out of his nostalgia and kept on walking towards the mob man. He waved a quick hello with his hand to get the dealers attention. The dealer immedialty searched for his package, nervously. Colt expected that, his pretty large stature usually had that effect. He waited for the man to take out the package before taking out his gun and pointing it towards the man. 

“Drop the drugs and get on your fucking knees.” he said, in an agressive manner. The mafioso looked scared and shocked, before he broke out of his stupor and started to run away. Colt cursed under his breath. He didn’t want to only shoot the man. It would be too easy. He had to pay for what he had done. So he walked towards the man, hoping Sab would catch him down the alley.

Sabrina also waited for the same amount of time. During this time, the woman just observed the drug dealer, that hurt their friend Jupiler. Her eyes set on the victim as if he was a kind of long-awaited price. He probably does not even notice her, as she is using the darkness as her friend and hiding in it in the dark alley. She hears the signal after some time and then takes her hands out of her pockets and pays even better attention. Ready for action.

The time was finally there for them to do what they originally came here for and what they discussed and decided on, without overthinking about it. Avenging their crewmember was only natural for the two of the three uppers of the Blue Trane. The beginning of her joining the crew, at its very start of existence was strange. She felt kind of like a bit forced since Marie could not keep them in her team anymore, but joining this crew instead of another one that split off was her own decision. It was also one that was she very glad about, as she got the chance to meet a lot of awesome people and feel even more at ease, than before. And for that she was grateful and also hardworking.

She continues to observe the prey and sees her Boss, as well as a dear friend walking towards the target. She just watches the situation unfold, while blocking this alley, from the darkness, as she is more than sure that Coltrane is very well capable of dealing with it all by himself. But guys like this small fly are always sneaky and can get creative if it comes to protecting their lives, so she better blocks the only possible escape path. If this person only knew, that Coltrane is out to get revenge, he would probably not even come here at all and hide in his apartment, while begging for his life, instead of trading with him.

It did not take long at all until he got scared as Colt showed no intentions of only having a friendly trade. As he started to run away, towards the dark alley, the woman continues to stand there and already puts her left hand inside of her pocket. As soon as he made his way inside the alley, he could suddenly feel the knife immediately in front of his throat as she woman says ''Don´t you dare to move. I swear that I will kill you.''

He kept on walking, his gun raised. He knew Sab had caught the man and now, it was time for him to pay. Nothing was more important to him than family. He cherished every single one of his family members, and everytime he saw them succeed, he got filled with pride. Everytime they went through tough times, he was there for them. He couldn’t imagine what his life would be without them, chatting around the HQ everyday and exploring different businesses, dealing drugs and other mafia things. They were his light and they motivated him all the time.

He finally leveled with Sabrina and the mafioso, staring at him for a long period of time. What should they do? He hadn’t planned this part... fuck fuck fuck fuck. He couldn’t. He couldn’t torture a man like this, whatever he had done. It was against his nature. All he could do was intimidate. So he violently grabbed the pack of drugs from the man’s hands and looked at him, intensely. 

You step on my turf again, I’m personally putting a bullet between your eyes. You touch one of my people again, I’ll peel off your nails and then cut off every finger you have, before killing you. Is that clear? Now get the fuck out of my face. he said, pushing the man on the ground. He looked at Sab and smiled, before gesturing that it was time to leave. And so they let the man laying there, shaking, as they walked back to the old abandoned train station to catch some well deserved sleep.

The woman with long dark brown hair continues to hold the knife against the man´s throat, to make sure that he cannot move at all. Who knows what else he would do? Probably run away, as fast as he can. Maybe he is faster, than both of them, but worst case scenario he would have a knife or gun himself. To let him know, that she is serious about it she gently presses the sharp end against his throat, to make sure he would hurt himself if he tries anything funny, but he doesn't. She waits like this while waiting for her boss.

It does not take him long at all to catch up to them. What would he do know? Coltrane can be hard but usually has a good heart. He is indeed a kind man and kind leader. His kindness combined with hard work is also why she would follow him to hell and back if it has to be, as Colt does deserve her loyalty. She also looks at the drugs, that he took in his hands and then looks into Coltrane´s eyes as if she would be saying to take his time, as he would not run away anyway.

She smiles as Colt took the decision not to kill him. She was however also sure, that this was more than clear enough for the drug dealer, that he will die next time, which this happens. She lets him go and puts the knife back in her pocket. She smiles and asks''So any plan what now?''  while following her boss and walking next to him.
