James walked off down the street, and I followed him, close behind.
'You seem to be making an impact, kid' James told me, 'you seem to be making a name for yourself, which will help, I guarantee you that!'
'I'm only doing the best I can' I replied, gaining a sense of pride.
'Your best seems to be very good' James replied, laughing, 'and Jake told me about your initiative!'
James stopped, and I bumped into him. He laughed and looked at me.
'Now listen, kid. We've got something big going down tonight, very big' James said, 'it's imperative that you listen, and listen VERY well, ok?'
A taxi pulled up, and he climbed in. I looked on, apprehensively, and James laughed. You have to have your wits about you. James didn't hail that cab, so I was a little suspicious.
'Kid, don't worry, you won't get whacked!' James said, escorting me into the door.
James closed the taxi door, and the taxi drove off.
'Afternoon, Mario' James said to the driver.
'Afternoon' he replied, 'Viaci stronghold, here we come!'
Mario was about the same build as me, and was dressed completely in black. It was like he was an undertaker, or something. He had short, neatly combed black hair, and a black moustache, that I saw from the mirror.
'Right, James, you go in, and pretend to be distraught over your treatment here in the family. You'll then try to get as much information and plans from Johnny and Ricardo Armando. You'll then leave, and never show up again. You need to get as much information as possible in one sitting, ok?' Mario told him.
James nodded, before looking at me, and smiling.
'You'll sneak around the back, and also collect the information I squeeze out of them. If anything happens to me, get out of there, ok?' James said.
'I'll then drive you guys off, pretending to be a taxi, and hopefully all three of us will get out of there with no problem at all!' Mario added.
By the time we got to the club in Brooklyn, it was dark, and there were only a couple of streetlights by the club. Mario pulled up opposite it, and he wished us good luck, and we got out. He waved, and pulled out a newspaper. James walked over, and entered from the front door. I then went around to the back alley by the club, and pulled out a Garrotte Wire.
I crouched and moved stealthily and silently. You see, when you crouch, and move with caution, there's little to no sound emitted from you. I used shadows, boxes, and whatever I could find as cover. There was only one guy standing guard. I crept up to him slowly, jumped, and pulled the wire round his neck. He fell to his knees, and then to the floor. He was dead… I put the wire away, and looked into the window.
James was standing with the two twins, Johnny and Ricardo Armando, who were a pair of Viaci soldiers. I guess the higher ups of the Viaci family didn't see James as that important, as they only sent low down soldiers to see him…
'So you want to join the Viaci do you?' Ricardo asked.
James nodded, while Johnny began pacing behind him.
'They have treated someone as valuable as you unfairly?' Ricardo asked.
That was an overstatement. Although James was a member of the family, he was in no way valuable, really. There were many people in James' rank, so it's likely they were trying to get something. James nodded, and Ricardo smiled.
'So, if you now want to work for us, let me ask you, what are the Benatzi planning?' Ricardo asked.
'I don't know' James replied simply.
'Okay' Ricardo replied.
'What are you planning?' James asked hopefully.
'Something big' Ricardo said, 'really big, but we can't tell you what. So, what do the Benatzi have planned?'
'I told you, I don't know' James replied, with a bite of impatience in his voice.
'That's too bad' Ricardo said.
Johnny pulled a Garrotte out, and began to strangle James. I let out an audible shock, and hid behind a crate, as Ricardo saw me. I drew out a Magnum, and I heard a thud, which was surely James' body. Ricardo and Johnny ran out, both of them having drew pistols.
'Looks like the kid's playing hide and seek!' Johnny said, laughing.
Johnny walked out, and walked towards the crate I was behind.
'I wonder where he is?' he asked sarcastically.
He walked around it, and suddenly I pulled the trigger, blowing his brains out instantly. Ricardo swore, and ran towards me. I looked out from the crate, and shot Ricardo in the heart, where he fell to the ground, dead, instantly. I put my gun away, and ran out of the alley, and into the taxi. Mario threw his newspaper down, and looked back.
'What happened-'
'He's dead, just drive!' I told Mario.
Mario put his foot on the accelerator, and we were gone instantly.
'What happened then?' Mario asked.
'They shot him, and I killed them' I told him, 'they said something about something big going down. I don't know when, but something big is going to happen!'
Mario carried on driving, as I contemplated what they could have planned.
