You understand what respect means to us?
Yes dad it does and I have full respect for you
Good, then prove it. Show me your loyalty.
Ok how will I do that daddy?
leans in closer, staring intensely into MountainEcho's eyes There's a rival gang that's been encroaching on our territory.
Really? What can I do about it then daddy?
Take care of it. Eliminate their leader and bring me their head as proof.
Are you sure dad?! I-I’m not trained for this kind of thing! You should send one of your other men
No one else can handle this. You're my heir, and it's time you prove yourself. You will do as I say, or you won't be part of this family anymore.
But-..But dad I’m not ready! And- And I don’t want to leave this family
slams fist on the table You think I wanted this life? You think I asked for this burden? Respect is everything in this family, and you will earn it.
Fine..Fine. When do we start?
We start now. Gather your weapons and meet me in the garage. We leave in 10 minutes.
Yes sir mountain echo said gathering every weapon he could get his hands on meeting him in the garage
opens the garage door, revealing a sleek black car Get in. We have a long night ahead of us.
He got in the car and sat down looking over at victor
starts the car and drives off, the sound of the engine filling the air Remember, MountainEcho, this is your chance to prove yourself. Don't fail me.
Mountain echo nods his head sitting there quietly for the rest of the drive. The drive wasn’t long as they had arrived at their destination before too long.
get out of the car and looks around, scanning the area for any signs of danger Stay close, MountainEcho.
He did as he was told staying close to him
pulls out a map and points to a location This is where their hideout is. We need to be cautious and take them by surprise.
Do you think they’ll just let us walk up to them? I doubt it…And even if they didn’t I still think it would be best to just try to negotiate with them
Negotiation is a sign of weakness. We don't negotiate with our enemies. We eliminate them. It's the only language they understand.
But it worked in the past for us..like that time with the Argentinos…we negotiated with them and took their drugs without anyone being hurt
narrows his eyes, his grip tightening on the gun That was then, MountainEcho. This is now.
…fine..whatever you say dad..mountain echo mumbled as he took a seat just outside the hide out waiting for his father to give him the okay to go in
glances at MountainEcho, his eyes filled with determination Remember, MountainEcho, this is a test. Prove your loyalty to me and our family.
Nods in understanding watching his father closely
takes a deep breath, his eyes burning with intensity Stay focused, MountainEcho. This is our chance to assert dominance and protect our empire.
grabs MountainEcho's shoulder firmly Good. Remember, I'll be watching your every move. Don't let me down.
gives a quick nod, signaling MountainEcho to move forward Go. Take them by surprise. Show them no mercy.
He nods stepping forward slowly walking towards the hiden out silently until he heard a faint noise alerting him of someone’s presence
whispers Stay quiet, MountainEcho. Let him come to you. Show him the true meaning of fear.
He stays silent peeking around the corner seeing someone standing outside the entrance of the hiden out taking a drag from something, smoke rising from his lips as he exhales the smoke. Once he finishes his drag he puts his cigarette out then enters the building Mountain Echo quickly follows behind him.
follows closely behind MountainEcho, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any potential threats Keep your guard up, MountainEcho.
