Day 217 - La Grandia Part 11: Brothers

 La Grandia Part 11: Brothers
Matthew Ryan Fischer
 
“Protect Yaz!” Jacob heard his father yell. His half-brother charged into the crowd. It seemed like a suicide mission, but his brother turned out to be a better fighter than Jacob had expected. The man with the six six on his arm seemed to take a special interest in his brother. Perhaps it was the tattoo. Jacob was just glad he wasn’t getting hit in the face anymore.
Jacob watched a man with a hammer smash in someone’s face. He didn’t recognize either man. He didn’t think they worked for him or Arch, but he couldn’t be sure. Where was Arch, he wondered. It was annoying. Arch and his mean had cleared the lobby and were supposed to have killed everyone in the conference room by now, but that clearly didn’t happen. Jacob had expected to have confronted his father by now and either taken his place at his father’s side, or have killed him. But nothing was going according to plan. There were at least two other gangs here and the representatives from Naxis were still alive.
Jacob didn’t want to join the fighting, but he didn’t see another way through. The mob was filling up the halls and it seemed like fighting was the only way out. His father could wait for now, the top priority for the moment was survival.
