Chapter 4. Hunting the Tiger

Leon and Robert rode the subway to the middle of Queens. They walked in search of an abandoned boathouse for hours. They walked up the coastline all day. For what seemed like days of walking the finally found the boathouse. The boathouse was indeed old, the wood had rotted and windows were covered with dirt. Sitting right in front of the house was their car.They went back to the house. Robert wiped the dirt away from one window and looked inside. There was Tiger sitting on an old, torn up couch watching what looked like Tom and Jerry. Leon and Robert both pulled pistols out from their coats and went to either side of the rotted door. Robert mouthed"One, Two, Three." On three, they both kicked the door down and directed their guns on the Tiger.

"What the hell?" was all Tiger could say.

"Where's our money?!" Robert demanded

"I don't have the money!"

"He's lying!" Leon said

"Give me the money now!"

"NO!"

Leon quickly jumped on top of Tiger and held his gun to Tiger's head.

"Where is it!? Tell me now! Do you think I won't pull this trigger! I will!" Leon screamed.

"It's under the sofa! Please don't kill me." He begged,"It's not my fault, Mr. Marino, told me to steal your car and money."

" Mr. Marino? You mean Sonny Marino?"

"Yes but please don't kill me!"

We're not gonna kill you big baby." Leon said.

Robert now had the money and was ready to leave. Leon got off of Tiger and put his gun away.

"Don't pull this crap again, cause we'll find you." Robert warned. They both got in the car and drove off.

Later that night, Robert and Leon sat in their apartment and counted their money. They both had a big stack of green bills next to them.

"I think it's all here." Leon said.

"Me too."

"So what do we do now?"

"I really don't know, but that slime ball Marino is trying to kill us."

"How do you know? He hasn't even fired a shot at us."

"He wants us to bring ourselves down."

"How do we do that?"

"He's trying to get us to mess around with people that can and probably will kill us."

"Are you saying that Tiger guy could've killed us?"

"No but that's just a warm-up for him."

"How do you know all this?"

"I don't. I'm just guessing. We'll just have to wait and see."

"So what should we do."

"You gotta find us more deals."

"But I already told you, all the deals are in the south of the country."

"Then we go to the south."
