Meeting

any way.

(Unfortunately...)

"Okay," they all took a deep breath as Tommy opened the trunk to get the weapons. "Let's go."

Somewhat confidently, all four brothers walked up the road to the bar.

Coming around the South side as Tommy suggested, Kevin and Jimmy knocked out both of the men at the door, quickly and quietly with the bats. They didn't even see it coming. Going in just after them, Sean and Tommy shoot the two inside the door at almost the same time. The four of then continued to kill in waves until they made their way downstairs. As they made their way down the stairs, one of the men got up from the ground, taking a bottle to Kevin's back.

"Ahhh! Damn it!" Kevin turned around to face the bleeding Italian just before Seany shot him in the head.

"Make sure they're dead before you turn your back on them!" Jimmy laughed as they traveled further downstairs.

"You all right?" Tommy paused.

"Yeah," Kevin kicked the body, "thanks."

With all three of his brothers behind him, Tommy opened fire on the door to the meeting room. Kevin, Jimmy and Seany followed suit until Tommy held up his hand for them to stop. He waited for a moment, listening for any kind of movement from inside but there was nothing.

Standing back, Tommy kicked the door open to see Alo and Nicky bleeding in opposite corners of the room. As Nicky made eye contact with Tommy, he reached out with his gun but couldn't get a round off before Tommy shot him dead in the chest. Flashbacks of Huey and Sal flooded his mind as Nicky fell back dead against the wall. Tommy turned to shoot Alo but not before Jimmy shot him instead.

"Sorry Tommy, I've been waiting for that for a while now."

Tommy stood in silence looking at the two men dead on the floor. The plan had always made so much sense up until that moment. Now the question plagued him, what happens next?

"Tommy! TOMMY!" Jimmy finally snapped him out of his daze. "Come on, we've gotta go, the cops will be here any minute!" He practically had to pull Tommy out of the room and up stairs.

Running down the street with bats and guns in their hands, they made their to the car. Fumbling with the weapons in his hands, Sean grabbed the keys from his pocket and opened the door, opening all the other doors when he got inside.

"Pop the trunk!" Kevin yelled collecting the guns and bats from his brothers and throwing them in the trunk.

"Let's go!" Seany yelled back as Kevin shut the trunk and hopped in the backseat.

Screeching the tires, Seany took off as fast as the old car would allow.

"Woo hoo!" Jimmy excitedly punched the headrest in front of him, hitting Sean in the back of the head. "Yeah! Those bastards didn't even know what was coming!"

"Jimmy! I'm trying to drive here!" Sean yelled back.

Just then, Kevin's phone rang from underneath Jimmy.

"Woah! What the hell? There's something vibrating in my ass!" He pulled the phone out from under him.

"Seany, you can slow down now, we don't want to draw any unneeded attention." Tommy warned.

"Hello?" Kevin quickly flipped open the phone. "Holly..."

"Holly?" Tommy turned around, "is that Holly?"

"Why? Shit, okay." He hung up.

"What did she say?" Tommy asked anxiously.

"Nothing really, she..."

"Kevin, what did she say?! What's happening at the hospital?" Tommy grabbed hold of his brother's jacket.

"I dunno okay! She just said that we should get there right away."

"Shit," Tommy let out under his breath. "Shit!" The weight of everything that was happening, drilling down into his chest so hard he thought he might go into arrest. Sean looked up at Tommy who rested his head on the glass window staring at the blur of images outside the window as they sped down the road towards the hospital.

"She's gonna be fine," Jimmy reached up to put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "It's Sarah, she's tough as nails, she's gonna be fine Tommy." Kevin looked over at Jimmy, then up to Sean in the rear-view mirror, who looked back at him skeptically and equally worried. They all knew how much Sarah meant to Tommy. She was his whole world and the only thing keeping him remotely sane after the Italian's attack on them.
