Chapter 4
Johnny starts to stir, and realizes he's tied up with his mouth gagged in the trunk of a car. He hears a foghorn from a boat along with seagulls.
"S, we're at the docks… this is it" He thinks to himself.
Suddenly he decides to fight. He starts kicking the truck lid over and over again. He does this for what seems around 30 minutes but it was only a few minutes. After he starts to sweat and uses up most of the oxygen in the trunk, the lid opens up. Blinded again by the surge of light from the docks, he is ripped out of the trunk into the cold bitter air of one of New York's ports.
"Wakey, wakey, Johnny boy, time to get up." Al Neri says as he lifts Johnny out of the trunk.
Al rips off the tape that is covering Johnny's mouth. The dock lights come into focus and Johnny sees that it's still night out. It's probably around midnight. He see's Al Neri, Frank Pentangeli, and a few soldiers.
"What the f is going on Al?" Johnny says wincing as he tries to move his arms that are tied behind his back.
"The boss knows about your little family organization. He decided to stop it before it grew." Al says as he unties Johnny's hands. "That better?"
"Yea, thanks. What the hell are you talking about though? My father goes back with his father. This isn't how it was supposed to happen. My father wanted to make Michael a partner." Johnny says.
"Well, Michael's father is in the same place yours is." Al says as he reaches into his jacket for his gun. "If your father had asked, then maybe. But your father is dead Johnny."
"And, I'm going to be there too, right? Fine. Let me make it easy." Johnny says as he kneels on the concrete dock with his back to Al.
"Ok. If you want it like this Johnny, fine." Al says as he screws on the silencer.
Al aims the gun at the back of Johnny's head. He starts to squeeze the trigger and a gun shot fills the air.
