Chapter 11: becoming general
Leo arrived a little later after Henry
Jake " Leo I'm going to the capital"
Leo " why would you do that we need you here"
Jake " I will leave Henry here he's my second in command you can trust him....That's all I had to tell you"
Leo Pov
Son of a Bich he thinks he can command me just because
I'm going to get back at him no matter what
Jake pov
I left the tent and made my way to Cain's tent
Stood outside for a while and called for him "who is it"
" Jake I need to talk to you"
Cain " what did you need to talk about"
Jake " I'm going back to Almswood so I came to ask if you can stay here and I will take back the prisoner"
Cain " haha yes you can take him just don't open the cage"
Jake " great I will send my men to collect him
Cain" don't worry my men will take him for you"
Jake" I appreciate at it I will head on out the"
Cain " of course"
As Cain promised his soldiers brought the prisoner in a cage but, it was covered in clothed so we couldn't see inside of the cage
I didn't pay mind to it at first and , then I decided to see for myself
" Hey let me see the prisoner"
" Im sorry sir Cain said no one can see him only Martin"
Jake " Well to bad I'm going to see him now"
I forced them to move my men held them and I opened the cloth and saw a dead men not even from torture it was a clean cut in his neck
I see he was gonna put the blame on me because I brought him here they would have made me the laughing stalk damn what do I do
Wait this is good I have a perfect excuse to ask for complete control
" Move let's go we can't be late"
We went and arrived at the gates of Almswood let's go we arrived twenty minutes early
" Alright listen up stay here until I returne I will be gone for 15 minutes at most okay"
I made my way to the restaurant and I saw the life of my life" hmm hmm "
" How you doing"
Julia " don't Mindy you got a customer"
"Oh comon I said sorry in the letter please for give me"
Julia " how can you leave and just leave a letter we had a date and you didn't bother to tell me then"
" Oh it just seems inappropriate at the time" I smiled
Julia " fine what do you want"
"Y'all do take out"
Julia" Mindy customer"
"Wait wait" and she left
I grabbed my food and left a note
Made my way back to my small unit and prepared my self for a meeting
I Walked to the building and made my way where both Martin and Maurice where at
Martin " Jake how are you doing today"
Maurice " welcome back Jake"
Jake " yes thank you, I'm Doing fine"
Martin" I would like to ask you what did you call us for"
Jake " yes I wish to ask you to give me full control of the army's at the door
I feel that if your political bickering is in the army we will die"
Maurice pov
If we give him the army's we could stagnate Martin's control in the army
" But why should we give you the army what if you go against us"
Jake "no I don't care for power but do you wanna know something interesting".
Maurice " what can be so interesting that it would change our minds"
Jake" last night I was visited by a Man named Liam and would you guess why he visited me"
Martin " to recruit you "
" Yeah... Also they killed the man that we catch in the tree"
Martin " how did they get in if you had guards all night right"
Jake "Yes we do but for some reason the guards from both Leo and Cain always stay closer to their camp and not on the fence to guard"
I brought the dead body in to show him
Jake " as you see he did not die by torture he was cleanly cut in the neck"
They stoud there thinking about my offer
Martin agreed but Maurice was still not wanting to agree but after much thinking he agreed
I told them that if they could send a messenger to them so they could know before I go back in a day
They agreed I made my way out of the building
I'm not sure what could happen now or how they will react to it
Letter from Maurice to Leo
Dear Leo I am to inform you that Jake is now commanding over you
you will follow his orders until we get rid of the Northern gang but don't worry we are already making precautions incasse he joins Martin
Leo
This is unexpected now he will probably have use go out if we lose more of our men we won't have power to take Martin out damn what to do
Cain didn't care much his father assured him that Jake wasn't a treat and he won't side with anyone
