Trouble's brewin'
''Let's get going'',Jonah says as he checks his watch.
He leads the way as his group trails behind.
''So who do we got beef with'',Nick asks.
''The Proteggeres.''
''We'll show 'em how us Difensoris do it.''
''One paper,sir.''
Jonah and his group wait by a newspaper cart on a busy street.
''How many of 'em,boss?''
''Five,my boy.''
''Aha,Jonah says they come now.''
A group of five men in long,black coats and hats stride to the all have menacing looks on their faces.
''Well well well how are we doin' today'',says Jack,the leader of the Proteggeres.
Jonah turns away.
''So are we fightin' or what?''
''Here are the rules,Jonah your gats,boys.''
Jack curses under his breath.''Alright; we'll play it your way.''
The gangs stare at each goes through them as they grind their teeth and clench their fists.
Jack's shifty eyes move around,choosing who to get.
''Now!''
They charge into each punches Josh in the face,knocking him to the ground.
Dawson charges into punches Dawson in his nose,leaving blood splattered on his knuckles.
''You got blood on my rings!''
Ethan Blazier flips Nick over,breaking his leg.
''Damn it'',Jonah yells.
''Alright,I've had enough'',Jack says angrily.
He takes out his butterfly knife,flinging it open and runs to Alex,the beady-eyed scout of the Difensoris.
He puts Alex into a headlock,hanging the knife around his neck.
''Back off or the kid gets it!''
''NO'',Jonah knocks the knife out of Jack's hand and holds it to his throat.
''If you try that again,I will ICE you,capiche?''
Jack,panting says,''OK,we'll back let me go!''
Jonah drops Jack struggles to get up and gets into his Series 62 Cadillac as Dawson speeds off.
''Yeah that'll teach 'em'',Jonah says in victory.
''Ethan,put 'em in the Black Book.''
A young,skinny boy runs up to Jonah.
''Yes sir.''
''Thanks Jacobsen,Jonah this to ya mother she'll need it.''
He hands the boy a stack of $100 bills.
''Thank you so much!"
''Hey, you got us a lot of 're a good fencer,kid.''
''Grant,let's roll out.''
Grant nods and opens the passenger seat for Jonah as the gang speeds off to their headquarters.
