-1Chapter 4 :Negotiating
Bright light. Like floating. "Am I dead? Is this the end. Am I to repent for the things I have done?" Screaming. Burning. Pain. Death. "Ahh!" Jen woke up startled in a cold sweating and immediately grasped her side. "Sit back, yo ribs broken." Sweet said from a corner. "What happened?" Jen said grimacing in pain. "Vercetti got you, just befo you feel." Sweet said. "Stay in here, we got business issues downstairs."
"I thought we had a deal Tommy. You keep your boys where dey belong. I let you have a little piece of San Ann." Cj said sitting at the kitchen table. "And yet, I keep finding my boys dead, strung up and gagged with a green rag, your family colors, right?" Tommy replied. "I can assure you none of my boys are hitting up yours, but i'm wonderin are you retaliating on mine?" Cj said. "Boy, we made a deal and if don't go back on my word." Tommy protested. "And yet my boys are showing up under water with cement shoes, A trademark for you Italians aint it?" Cj shot back. Tommy jumped up and pulled out a Python as Cj jumped up with a desert eagle as both aimed for each other. As they did two of Tommy's body guards jumped up as did Cjs and everyone in the room had a target. "Call off your men Vercetti!" Sweet yelled from the stairs. "You little ignorant no good..." Vercetti started.
"Woa whoa calm down everyone." Woozie said as he walked in. "Your both fools if you are blinded by what's going on." Woozie said as he walked over and both lowered their guns. "Blinded, that's real funny coming from you" Tommy said. Woozie moved his head and looked in Tommys direction for a few seconds before speaking. "Someone is trying to set us against each other. And so far, it looks as if its working."
"Well, were not the most popular guys." Cj said. "So who could it be." Tommy asked. "Well, Ballas have been getting more organized. " Cj said. "Let me give Cesar a call, he deserves to be in on this a bit..." Cj said as he reached for his cell phone. As he did, there was a knock on the door. "Get dat." Cj said as he looked for his cell phone. The green dressed man walked over to the door and looked through the peephole. Instantly blood shoot all over the living room as the door was kicked open and two men dressed in black walked in and began firing. Tommy unleashed two bursts of his Python into one of the mans chest before diving into the kitchen.
Cj flipped the table over and ducked behind it while firing over. "CJ!" Sweet shouted as he tried to run back upstairs. Cj looked over at Sweet and as he did, Sweet was penetrated by a rain of bullets. " Urrgh!" Sweet tried to keep running but tumbled over himself and over the railing of the stairs. "Nooo! You mothu fuckas!" Cj shouted as he rose up and pulled out another pistol. He ran for his brother while shooting. "Sweet! Sweet!" Cj shouted as he shook his brother. "Cj, i'm sorry man. I'm sorry for all the shit...I said. I'm sorr..." Sweet uttered his last words. Cj closed his eyes.
Seeing his chance one, of the men turned around into the door way and let out a hail of fire. Cj looked up and jumped towards the kitchen, but it was too late. He felt a bullet go in his left shoulder and his stomach. "Johnson!" Vercetti shouted as he pulled him in. "Woozie. Get...Woozie." Cj stammered. Tommy peeped around the corner. Three more men had entered and Woozie was behind the table. It was the farthest 3 feet of his life. "Ok. OK One, two..." Vercetti started. "Die you mother fuckers!" He shouted jumping around the corner and firing three shots from his python. The three bullets hit their marks, one in the head, one in the chest and the last in the mans stomach, leaving gaping holes where the metal flew threw. In a smooth movement, Tommy grabbed Woozie and threw him in the kitchen and ducked behind the table. He looked over the table and saw the guards, his and Cjs laying on the ground. Bullet holes were everywhere and debris and dust was settling. The next thing he saw made him feel something he hadn't felt in 5 years. Fear
"Find their bodies, kill the survivors." Salvatore said walking through the room. Followed by him was the man which a hit was placed on, Alex. Vercetti saw one chance and jumped up with his last bullet and aimed
at Salvatore. But with the surprise attack on his side, his skill, nor speed was good enough. Alex , at the slightest movement pulled out his silenced pistol and fired into Vercettis right shoulder. Vercettis gun went off, blowing a hole a few feet from Salvatore in the wall. "Tommy, one of my two men. Its been awhile hasn't it?" Salvatore spoke. "Shit, its Salvatore. Woozie, get out the side door to your right." Cj whispered. Woozie felt around and get to the door.
"Ill come back with reinforcements." Woozie said as he walked through the door. "I only got one chance." Cj said to himself assessing his odds. However he did not know of Salvatore's marksman bodyguard. He pulled out his pistol. He closed his eyes, took in a deep breath and slid himself up. The bleeding was bad. He leaned on the doorway and rolled over it and as he did, he walked right into a bullet which entered his right shoulder. He fell back onto the kitchen floor. "And there's my other man. You got that money I loaned to you Cj? More like stole." Salvatore said walking over to him a Alex began to reload. Salvatore stood over Cj. "Fuck you, bitch." Cj said as he spit up blood. Salvatore gave a small chuckle before kicking him in the side. Salvatore snapped is fingers and two more men came in. "Get the maggots in the car. Make sure our 'Doctor' fixes these bullet holes." Salvatore spoke as the men were being carried out.
"Alex check upstairs. We'll be waiting in the car." Salvatore said as they left. Alex locked his pistol and headed for the stairs. He glanced at the look of pain on Sweets face. Slowly he crept up stairs and rounded the corner. AS he did he looked all the way down the hallway, right into Jens eyes. Both stood there for a second stunned. Waking herself up Jen raised her gun, but was too late, Alex had shot at the ceiling and blew out the light so she was blind in the darkness, but still released two shots. AS she did she saw the hallway was empty. Alex walked back outside and got in the car. "Was that it?" Salvatore asked. "Yea, I took care of it." Alex said. Four mafia sentinels pulled out of grove street as Jen walked out the front door. She collapsed on the front porch. Rain slowly began to pelt the land. She looked up and through the rain came two headlights.
It slowed to a stop and two silhouettes approached. One Woozie, the other was Cesar. "Are you ok?" Cesar asked as he picked her up. "They took Vercetti and Cj." Jen replied. "We gotta get you to a hospital." Cesar said. Soon they were slowing to a stop and Jen was rushed immediately to intensive care for three broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and broken wrist and internal bruising. Outside Woozie and Cesar opened the doors to the low rider. Both got in and sat for awhile. "Choices come with consequences." Woozie said and Cesar started the car.
Elsewhere in San Andreas, under the same rainy sky in the desert canyons of Las Venturas. A abandoned ghost town surrounded by nothing for miles. The rain beat down on the little unstable houses and shack. Inside one of these unsuspecting houses, Cj and Tommy were going through excruciating pain. "You vere lucky Mr. Vercetti. You only got shot vonce." said an man weaing a medical mask and bloody overcoat. "Your friend over zer, his vill hurt much vorse." he spoke in a russian accent. He had just got done finishing stitching Tommy's shoulder. Cj groaned in pain as the doctor moved over to him. "Zhe medical foundation wont let me perform vith veal doctors, they say my methods a too extreme. They say, its is dangerous and sick, to cut you patients necks. They say I am insane. But I believe you vill see I am a very good doctor." he said as he pulled a large set of needle nose pliers and shoved them into Cjs bullet wound.
And as loud as they screamed, not a soul heard.
