A.N: Almost at the end of this...
Enjoy.
"How can you do this?" she hissed angrily "You're a fucking piece of shit"
Richard rolled his eyes sneeringly "I wonder where you got that wonderful language from" he looked at the four brothers who were giving him murderous looks
"You alright Jess?" yelled Angel
She nodded sadly "Thanks for trying"
"Nights not over yet" muttered Bobby, he stared up at the thunderous, darkening sky
"Come out, come out wherever you are dear brother of mine" shouted Richard, he thrust his gun straight at Jess' forehead, she shuddered at the cool metal, a wave of fear coming over her, she'd seen it in Richard's eyes, he was going to kill her.
"Or your little darling will lose her head" he continued
"You sick fucking bastard..." snarled Bobby about to run forwards but held back
"What the hell are you talking about? My dad is dead!" said Jess angrily
Richard leered at her "If only that were true" he started to smile as his brother Robert Townsend emerged from behind one of the large storage containers on the dock, carrying a gun and a black suitcase.
He was deathly pale and he'd lost a lot of weight, his dirty suit hung off his lean frame, he looked at his daughter apologetically.
"I'm so sorry"
"Dad?" she stammered her heart plummeting
"Put the gun down" barked Richard
Robert did as he was told and was immediately seized by another gun man from one of the jeeps, and brought towards Richard.
"Ah, it's a family reunion" chuckled Richard
"I've signed everything" said his brother weakly, he handed the suitcase over to Richard, who grabbed it with one hand, still holding on to Jess
"So looks like everything is in its place once and for all" smirked Richard "I've got what I came here for" he threw Jess towards his brother
She fell to her knees but got to her feet quickly and turned to Richard "You're the one who killed mom and my brothers" she said coldly, realising the implication of what had happened.
Richard fixed her with a cool look, his dark eyes blazing "I had to prove my point. Everything he got" he hissed waving the gun madly at his brother "He got because he was dad's favourite son, he got the company, the house, the name, the perfect fucking family, everything and I got a hundred grand because I was too irresponsible, I couldn't pull off running a business. Well, I did didn't I? Now I'm going to kill you"
"Or not"
Richard jerked his head towards Bobby and Angel who were still being held back by his two goons but everywhere else things had drastically changed.
The guards he'd thought were keeping Jerry and Jack now stood side by side with the two Mercer brothers, all armed to the teeth and aiming right at him. They started to advance towards him.
"Stand back! I still have Jess!" he spat viciously, he started to back away, grabbing at Jess but she swung out and launched her fist into his face
Richard stumbled and watched in mounting horror as Bobby and Angel knocked his two goons down, he clutched at his suitcase and backed away towards his limo.
"Stay the hell back!"
Robert watched confused, it was clear neither or Jess were aware of what Bobby and Angel had planned.
"Get him!" yelled Bobby
The four Mercer brothers along with their gang ran at Richard and grabbed him before he could make a move towards the limo.
Jack held Richard up while Bobby, Angel and Jerry each took it in turns to deliver their own brand of justice.
Jess watched, feeling sick "Dad, we have to stop them. They'll kill him" she gasped
Robert shook his head, watching calmly "I don't care. He's destroyed my family"
Jess frowned and ran towards her brothers "Bobby! Stop! Stop!"
They looked at her stunned and moved aside as she stalked towards Richard, she crouched down to where he had dropped to the ground. She looked him dead in the eye, filled with revulsion and disgust.
Then she spat at him.
"He's not worth it" she said rising up
Bobby, Jerry, Angel and Jack stared down at the man who had caused so much trouble to their lives, the man who had nearly killed them and the people they loved. Bobby took out the gun he had tucked in his boot, pointing it at Richard, who cowardly refused to meet Bobby's eye.
"Bobby..." started Jess worriedly "You're going to go to jail and he'll get away with everything"
Jerry, Angel and Jack remained silent, they knew that Jess was right but none of them were too eager to stop Bobby.
A long pregnant silence passed then Bobby lowered his gun, Richard sighed audibly as did Jess.
Bobby shook his head, filled with loathing. He scowled at Richard "You don't deserve our mercy but I'm doing this for Jess and the family you killed. You're going to live with that"
He then put his arm around Jess "Come on baby girl. Let's go home"
Then the Mercer brothers, Jess and her father walked away.
