The next day, Connor, Murphy, Rocco and Lily were sitting in the van, Connor and Rocco loading their guns, Lily sitting back watching them and Murphy looking out waiting for the kid to leave. Dinah was just around the block away from them for a backup get away just in case something went wrong.
"There he goes" Murphy called out when he saw the kid leave on his bike.
"Good luck guys" Lily said, hugging Murphy and Rocco, then kissing Connor for a while before they piled out of the car.
The three walked towards the house of the man and opened the garage left open by the kid and closed it completely shut. Once they were inside, they placed their masks on and searched the house before they finally found the wife. She almost screamed, but they grabbed her, tied her hands behind her back and placed some duct tape on her mouth. They dragged her out to where the poker game was being held.
"Hit the numbers lady!" Rocco demanded as he held onto the woman's wrist and his gun pressed into her back, "Hit the numbers! I will kill you! I will kill you!"
"Don't, her hands are tied" Connor said, hitting Rocco in the shoulder.
Murphy took out his hunting knife and cut the ropes on the woman's wrists.
Rocco lifted up his mask, "Why do I always gotta be on bitch detail?"
Connor reached over and smacked Rocco on the side of the head hard, "Just something Lily probably would have done"
The woman soon punched in the codes and covered her ears, waiting for shooting to fire out. Rocco placed his mask back on and then used a stun gun on the woman, knocking her out. The three of them soon waited for the door to open. When the door slowly opened up, they burst in, their guns held tightly in their hands and poised as they stood in the room full of the men Rocco had mentioned. They all just stood there, silent and confused.
Rocco looked at everyone in the room, "All of 'em"
The shootout began and blood had sprayed with each shot they took. Some even pulled out their own guns, but they were shot down before they could take a shot at the three. Though they taken out almost all of the men in the room, two of them near the pool table dove down under and pulled out their guns. But Rocco kneeled down towards the pool table and began to shoot at them, killing them as well.
Once they took out everyone in the room, they removed their masks and began to reload. Rocco then began to frantically look around the room and at the dead bodies, trying to find their main target. But he wasn't any of them.
"Shit! Shit!" Rocco exclaimed, jumping around anxiously, "He ain't here!"
"Oh, what the fuck do you mean he ain't here?" Murphy questioned.
"I mean he ain't here!"
"Well look again for fucks sake!" Connor yelled at him, they couldn't let this one get away, he was both business and personal.
"I know what the fuck he looks like!"
Murphy then noticed that the bathroom door was opening up, "Look behind ya!"
Rocco looked over and rushed to the door and stuck his gun through and took a shot, but the man hit Rocco with something, causing him to curse out and drop his gun, then they both made eye contact.
"Oh shit!" Rocco shouted and began to run.
The man gave chase. When he passed Murphy, he grabbed onto him and held him back as Rocco fell to the ground.
"Shoot this motherfucker!" Rocco shouted.
"No!" Connor shouted as he came behind Murphy, "Fucking let the bloke go! Let him go!"
Connor pulled Murphy of the man and he ran straight for Rocco, getting on top of him.
"Now's your chance to earn your stripes Roc!" Connor called out.
"He'll fucking get killed!" Murphy shouted as he tried to get to Rocco, but Connor held him back.
"It was your idea to bring him in!" Connor shouted and then turned to looked to see Rocco being strangled, "Alright Roc, now's your chance! You take that man!"
Murphy began to cheer on as well, but then they heard a strangled cry out and looked to see one of the men still alive, trying to stand up. Connor walked over to him and shot the man dead. The man continued to strangle Rocco, struggling hard to get him off, so Murphy decided to help in and grabbed the cue ball on the table and rolled it towards Rocco. He grabbed the ball and smashed it against the man's head, finally getting him off and landing on the couch.
Rocco stood up and the repeatedly bashed the ball against the man's head, "Sick Fuck! Sick Fuck! Sick Fuck!"
Rocco finally stopped and staggered backwards.
"Alright then" Connor sighed.
"Fuck you!" Rocco shouted as he ran at Connor, but only got flipped onto the table.
"Take a fucking deep breath Roc!" Connor said, "You did fine, it was nicely done"
Connor placed his hand over Rocco's mouth and kiss it before pulling back and patted him. Rocco panted, trying to catch his breath as he finally lifted this burden off his shoulders.
Lily sat with her back against the van wall, bouncing a small rubber ball across the wall from her out of boredom. She was a little irritated to be left out of this mission. She admitted to herself that she didn't like killing people, even if they were shitheads. But if they were gone, the streets would be safer and that means that women and kids wouldn't be so badly influenced or hurt by people like them.
She wished that they would hurry it up a bit so that she would sooner know that they were safe and not that badly harmed. As Lily bounced the ball again, the van door suddenly slide open and a hand grabbed the ball in mid-air. Lily's eyes widened and she gasped as she stared at this strange man standing in front of her.
He wore all black leather with a cap to match, his hair and beard white and wore round black lenses glasses, concealing his eyes. Lily quickly grabbed her gun and aimed it at him, but he grabbed her wrist and twisted the gun out of her hand as he pulled her out of the van and was tossed hard on the sidewalk.
Lily quickly stood up to face the man as he tossed her gun away, which confused her of why he didn't just kill her with it. She rushed towards the man and swung her arm at him, but he had grabbed it, twisted it behind her bad and had slammed her into the van.
"If you don't let me go, I'm gonna show you why I'm the reason redheads are accused of being short tempered!" Lily shouted as she struggled.
The man pulled her away from the van and shoved her away, she staggered forward a bit before regaining balance and looked back to glare at the man. They stared at each other for a bit before Lily glanced down at his jacket and saw something out of the ordinary. She saw that there must be something under his jacket because it was bulging out a bit.
She silently gasped when she saw that the bulge under his jacket was in a shape of guns. She felt fear strike through her. He must have been sent by Yakavette to kill the twins and Rocco.
But if this mysterious man now knows that she was a part of the group, why didn't he just kill her right then and now? The man then took out a knife and Lily tensed, ready to fight, but then he suddenly slashed the tires of the van before turning to look at her again.
"Leave" the man ordered calmly.
Lily was about to do something, something to stop this man before he did anything to hurt her friends, but he had more power over her and she probably wouldn't stand a chance and he probably would kill her then. She took a small, hesitant step back before she sprinted as fast as she could down the street and around the block and she saw a familiar blue car in view.
"Dinah!" Lily shouted as she slammed her hands against the hood, causing Dinah to scream a bit before calming down a bit and then Lily got in the passenger side of the car quickly, "Start the car! Start the fucking car!"
"What's going on! What happened!" Dinah questioned as she started the car up.
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
Guns shots were fired out and the two girls looked at each other before Dinah stomped on the gas pedal and drove recklessly through the street and around the block. Dinah stopped the car abruptly as she and Lily stared in horror of the scene.
The mysterious man had his jacket open, revealing a vest with six guns and he already was at the last two at the top of his vest. Their gazes then turn to see the guys in the bushes trying to hide and they saw the blood everywhere.
"No!" Lily cried out, tears filling her eyes.
Dinah was gripping the wheel tightly, an anger and rage that she has never felt before in her entire life filling up her body. She placed the car in gear and pressed hard on the gas pedal, speeding like Speed Racer down the road.
"Dinah?" Lily called out as they neared the mysterious man, "Dinah-Dinah-Dinah!"
Dinah had then hit the man with the car, causing him to roll onto the hood, over the hood and then crashed hard on the ground behind them.
"You guys!" Dinah cried out as she opened the car door to rush to them.
"Stay in the car!" Murphy shouted as he stumbled out of the bushes.
The guys then rushed to grab their things, spraying their blood with something in a green can. As soon as they finished spraying the porch, they moved to finish the man off, but they saw that he was already gone.
"Get in the car! Get in the fucking car!" Lily shouted.
The three rushed towards the car and piled in and Dinah drove off quickly.
"Fuck! Rocco, what the hell happened to you!" Lily shouted when she saw that his pinky was blown clean off.
"Motherfucker shot my fucking finger off!" Rocco shouted as he tried to stop the bleeding.
"Everyone just shut up and let me drive!" Dinah shouted, which surprised everyone a bit since she actually raised her voice.
They had decided to go to Dinah and Lily's apartment since it was probably the safest since none of the mafia or police knew about it. They had to sneak the boys in since the land lady would probably go into shock in seeing three blooded men walking through her clean apartment building in the safe part of town. When they made it to their apartment, they walked into the kitchen. Rocco walked to the sink and began to clean his hands.
"Who the fuck was he Roc?" Connor shouted, "And I know you fucking know, so don't even start!"
"Fuck you!" Rocco shouted back, "I told you I never saw him before!"
"Well he sure as fuck knew you!" Murphy shouted, hitting Rocco in the back.
"Fuck you! Fuck you both!"
The three then started to argue and Lily was in a panic about the whole thing since she encountered then man first and she did nothing to stop him. If she had stopped him, then none of this would have happened. Dinah was pressing her fingers to her temples, trying to sooth the headache but if was in vain since they all continued to shout and she needed to get her thoughts together.
"WOULD YOU ALL SHUT UP!"
The men stopped arguing and the four of them turned to look at Dinah in surprise again by her raised voice, this time louder than ever.
"Now I need to check your wounds to see if the bullets are lodged in there" Dinah instructed as she walked over to the kitchen draws and pulled out a thin knife, "Lily, I need you to take out an iron, start up the stove and put the iron on it, it'll be used to cauterize the wounds to stop the bleeding"
Lily followed out the order as Dinah had removed three bullets from Murphy's arm, shoulder and calf. Then she moved to remove a bullet from Connor's thigh.
"Rocco, Connor, I need you to hold Murphy down onto the table" Dinah said as she grabbed the iron from the stove and a dish towel from one of the drawers. Rocco held Murphy down by the back while Connor held his arm out and Dinah placed the dish towel in Murphy's mouth.
"Now just bite down on this and bare with it, I'll try to be quick, just bare with it" Dinah soothed as she brushed her hand through Murphy's hair to try and calm him.
Murphy nodded once. Dinah moved to Murphy's arm and then pressed the iron to his wound. He started to spazz out, but Rocco and Connor held him down firmly. After Dinah finished that wound, she moved to his shoulder wound and pressed the iron there, then she moved to his calf wound and burned the wound closed.
Once Murphy was finished, the twins held Rocco down as Dinah pressed the iron against Rocco's pinky. Then once she finished with Rocco, the two held Connor down as she pressed the iron to his thigh. Once Dinah had finished off cauterizing their wounds, she placed the iron on the counter and leaned against it.
Lily moved to clean the blood on the table, counters and floor, then she rushed to her bedroom to grab some clothes that were men's and was lucky enough to find some big enough for the guys to fit.
They were soon sitting around in the living room, drinking some beers. Dinah and Lily had convinced the land lady and a few of the residents that Lily had accidently dropped a glass, slipped and fell into it. They even placing a few bandages on her arms and legs to make it look more convincing.
"Where'd you learn to do all that?" Murphy asked. They would have don't it themselves when they stopped fighting, but she took action first and handled everything at a some-what calm and steady pace.
"My mother is a doctor. And my uncle told me that they grew up in a rough neighborhood and they would sometimes get into fights with gangs and they would have to cauterize their wounds on their own because they didn't really have much money to go to a hospital"
"Whoa" Lily gasped.
She had no idea that her mother lived a rough and tough life, though she herself lived a rough and tough life, it seemed like she lived the high life compared to Dinah's mother. The turned the TV on to the news channel and saw that agent Paul Smecker was on and was talking about the investigation about them. Rocco then turned the TV off.
"Fucking hell" Connor sighed, running his hand idly up and down Lily's thigh as she sat in his lap, though she objected to it since his thigh was wounded, but he was persistent about it since he wanted her close.
"What?" Rocco questioned, "What, that guy?"
"That's the guy that got us off the hook with the Chekov thing" Murphy explained as he exhaled the smoke from his cigarette.
"And he's one smart man" Connor added.
"They got nothing" Rocco said.
"Well, this guy is very sharp. If he hasn't figured us out yet, he will"
"You bet your ass he will" Murphy agreed.
"Well, I'd say that makes him a lia-fucking-bility" Rocco said.
"Leave him be Rocco" Lily sighed as she leaned her head in Connor's neck, too tired to fight with him.
"He's a good man Roc" Dinah added.
"Ok, whatever" Rocco sighed as he took another sip of his beer.
"Sorry Roc" Lily sighed and he looked at her in confusion, "Looks like you won't be having tea with the queen"
Lily tried to laugh, but it came out a little stifled, her smile was sad and tears started to overflow in her eyes.
"Don't make that face, it's real ugly" Rocco teased.
Lily laughed through the tears and sniffled a bit. Connor buried his hand through her hair and kissed her head, hugging her close to try and give her comfort.
