Mafia Wives

A small cut was made across the bag, freeing some of the contents. Carly placed the ice pick down on the table. She looked over at her sister in law.

Skye wiped her index finer across the opening of the bag, then she put the tip of her finger into her mouth, tasting the white powder. She removed it and swallowed hard.

"What is it?" Carly asked.

Skye spit on the cellar floor, "Cocaine."

"A little more than we bargained for."

"We can handle it." Skye assured her, "But right now we have something more important."

"The hearing tomorrow."

"Yeah, that and we need to get back inside that warehouse tonight."

Carly shook her head, "I don't know Skye, it's too risky."

"We need to get the rest of that shipment."

"I know, but there has to be some other way to get it with out going back into that warehouse, after what happened the other night Caprice is going to have that place surrounded with security."

"Caprice and his wife are out of town. If he puts more than two guards outside that building things are going to look suspicious and that's one thing he can't afford."

"So what do you suggest? That we do this alone?"

"We can't bring anybody else into this." Skye said firmly.

"I'm not sure we can pull it off though."

"There's only way way to find out."

~~~~~~~~~~~

Skye and Carly stood in the alley beside the warehouse, Skye held a flashlight in her right hand and an empty duffel bag in the left. Carly had a duffel bag in her left. "We'll go in through the back this time." Carly instructed.

Skye nodded and walked round to the corner of the building, she spotted one guard, who was more preoccupied with a hooker than actually doing his job. She walked back around to where Carly was, "This is going to be easier than we anticipated."

Carly pushed the door open, "Sure is."

Skye turned on her flashlight and walked in, "How did you do that so quickly?"

"I picked the lock."

"You picked the lock?"

"Yes and it was more efficient than you playing Annie Oakley the other night."

"Ha, ha, you're so funny, Carly."

Carly quietly shut the door behind her and they made their way over to the large wooden boxes. Carly pried open the top just like she did before. Skye reached in with her gloved hand, pushing it through the coffee and pulled out a bag of cocaine.

"How many bags do you think are in there?" Carly asked.

Skye pulled out two more bags, "More than enough."

She handed the three bags to Carly who placed them in the empty duffel bag. They did this continuously until there was no more left in the box.

Skye opened the second duffel bag, pulling out a bag of white powder, she handed it to Carly, who stuffed it into the coffee. They did this continuously until the duffel bag was empty. The box was covered back up the exact way it was found.

"Do you wanna open another one?" Skye asked.

"Opening another one would be pushing it, we have the entire bag full. Let's just get out of here before the guard catches us."

"The guard is with a hooker."

"Still, Skye, we're pushing it, so let's get the hell out of here." Carly said sternly.

"Your right." Skye picked the bag up off the floor and they walked over to the door, Skye looked out and around making sure no one was in sight. "It's clear."

Once outside of the building, Carly closed and locked the door, just like she had found it. They made their way down the alley, into the parking lot and over to the car. Skye hit the button on her key ring and the trunk on the black Mercedes Benz popped open. Skye threw the bag inside and slammed the trunk shut.

In seconds, they were in the car and out of the marina parking lot. They pulled up to the gate of the Corinthos Villa, where a guard opened the gates. Skye pulled the car around back. They both got out. Carly looked around and then gave her the okay.

Skye opened the trunk and grabbed the bag, she handed Carly the key to the kitchen door. Once in was unlocked and they were safely inside, they went directly down into the wine cellar. Skye sat the bag on top a small table, she removed her gloves and jacket. Carly did the same.

"If we get this done, we should be able to pull anything off." Carly joked.

"I just hope we can go through with it."

"It's already been decided, you're cutting and cleaning out the fish."

Skye walked over and opened a cabinet, she reached inside and took out two knives, some trash bags, fishing wire and a box of latex gloves, she walked over and placed them on the large table in the middle of the room, she placed them on top.

They both pulled on a pair of latex gloves and made their way over to the freezer. Carly opened the lid, Skye reached inside a grabbed a few fish. Carly shut the lid and walked over to the duffel bag and opened it up, taking out a few bags, she placed them on the large table where Skye laid the fish.

Taking the knife in her surprisingly steady hand, and a slimy fish in the other one, Skye slit open the bottom of the fish. She reached her hand inside and pulled out as much of it's insides as she could before taking the knife and cutting them out.

"This is absolutely disgusting."

"And hopefully something we'll never have to do again." Carly added.

"It'll be worth it in the end. The fish covers up the smell of the cocaine, that way if the Villa gets searched nothing will be found."

"I know. I mean what could Caprice do, go to the police and say that someone stole his shipment of cocaine?"

She then handed the gutted fish to Carly who inserted a bag of cocaine inside. "He's know's he can't, he'll think that Lorenzo Alcazar ripped him off and then Caprice will go after him."

"Which will bring Lorenzo here searching for the answer." Carly pointed out.

"Lorenzo knows I'm here, he won't come after me. After all we did have that warehouse in Florida blown up, which Luis was in, so if Lorenzo knew anything he would have already contacted me."

"Thanks to Madame X." Carly reminded her.

" Madame X as our silent partner is brilliant, no one would ever link us to her."

"I'll admit she has came through for us, that is other than shooting you. Did you ask her to actually make contact? Because taking a bullet for the sake of power is a little much."

After putting the bag inside the fish Carly took the large needle with the fishing wire on it and sewed the fish closed. Crossing the room she opened the opposite freezer, placing the fish in the bottom of it.

"I told her to have her men shoot at me, not Sonny, there for it made it look like another mobster was after Sonny, by going through me to get his attention." Skye explained.

"But he wasn't suppose to actually hit you. That's why Jason and I were already in the air, so he couldn't be contacted to turn around and come back."

"When Sonny pulled me down onto the ground, a bullet bounced off iron railing and lodged in my chest. She did contact me and apologize. I told her it wasn't her fault, it was the railings."

"And if Jason and Sonny find out, it looks like they were going after him, solving the problem."

Skye smiled, "Correct."

They stuffed the fish again and again until all the bags of cocaine were securely hidden by the fish. Carly placed a dozen left over fish over top the others. The mess from the fish as well as the rank smell of their clothing was cleaned up and properly disposed of.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Skye entered the court room, dressed in a pale pink dress with a matching coat. She made her way up to the front of the courtroom where Sonny, Jason and the Defense Attorney were seated. Sonny had his head turned and seen her coming. He stood up as she came closer.

A hug, a kiss and a few shared words then Skye turned and sat down behind him. Jason and Carly were talking a few feet away from her.

"Everything's going to be alright." Jason told his wife.

Carly sighed, "And if it's not? If you don't make bail?"

"Everything will be fine in the end." He assured her, "Just sit down and say calm." Carly took a seat next to Skye. The bailiff came in and ordered everyone to their feet. Judge Cadena entered and instructed everyone to be seated. The attorneys for the prosecution and the defense went head to head. A few overruled and a few more sustain's flew from the Judge's mouth.

Everything else seemed unimportant, until Judge Cadena announced that he had made a decision.
