Colm O'Driscoll is dead, Kieran Duffy killed him
That was what everyone, every O'Driscoll said. The gentle stable man killed the leader of a big ass gang? Impossible! However, it was possible since Kieran came back with Colm's bloody clothing and with this.. Dark look that told more than words. It was clear that Kieran Duffy would be the new leader of the O'Driscoll's.
And that's what happened. Kieran went on a weeks from being on the bottom of the food chain to being on the top. And maybe that's why he was starting to restructure everything. From scrap, of course.. Because it wasn't like the O'Driscoll's were the best organized gang.
Kieran flickered his puro, watching the ash fall down into his wooden desk. The office was big enough for a sofa to be placed in, and it was dark enough for a betrayal to happen. The only light to englighten it was the lantern on Kieran's table, just as he tried not to think about the way those torturers used to burn his feet and pull his teeth, the door opened wide.
' I need to talk to you. '
Kieran tried to put his best serious face, but he was far from that, he was troubled., haunted by the small thoughts of his mind. He knew you knew him, because you were there when he was a simple stable man taking care of the horses and getting humiliated by the O'Driscoll's. You were there.
The seat Infront gained Kieran's eyes, his eyes drifting from it to you as if telling you to settle down. He had matters to discuss with you, after all.. Now that he was the boss it was difficult, almost too overwhelming for the poor man. But that torture broke him enough to understand that nothing really mattered anymore. Just money and winning.
