Chapter 7
"what the f are you going to do Johnny?" Al says "Are you going to shoot an underboss of the Cuneo's…"
Just as that is said Johnny squeezes the trigger. Leo Cuneo falls to the floor, shot in the chest. Johnny points both at Alphonse.
"Holy s Johnny, you're fing crazy." Al says, realizing that Johnny is willing to kill him. "you can't kill me. I am Alphonse Lampizi. I am untouchable."
"Untouchable? Is that right. Hmm. Maybe you think that." Johnny says as he walks over to Al. "But I don't believe it"
As he finishes his sentence he punches Al in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him and dropping him to the floor.
"You are not the man you lied to be. You are worthless in this world." Johnny says. "I am willing to let you pray to your God for peace and forgiveness. You have 3 minutes."
Al looks at Johnny who is starting to light a cigar. Al starts to pray. During the reciting of his prayer it hits him. He is going to die. He will not walk out of this room. This is the end for him. He breaks down around the 2 minute mark and starts crying hysterically.
"Times up Al. It's time." Johnny says as he puts the cigar on a table. "Please father, forgive me for what I am about to do."
The gunshot fills the hotel. Birds can be heard screeching as the fly away. All of a sudden Johnny is enveloped in warmth. The feeling is unknown to him. Perhaps it is the feeling of revenge. Perhaps it is the happiness that his enemy has been dispatched from this world.
"J… Johnny…. wh… are you going to just leave me…. here… to die?" leo says as he coughs up blood.
"That is your business. I am just dealing with mine." Johnny says as he grabs onto Al's body and starts to drag it out of the back door.
Johnny loads up the body and closes the trunk. He decides against cleaning up the blood. Johnny starts up the car and drives it to the Corleone's casino, the Castle in the Sand. He parks it and tosses the keys to the same guard. He disappears into a crowd before the guard can stop him. Johnny walks down to the end of the block and crosses the strip. He hails a cab.
"Take me to the airport." Johnny says as he flicks his cigar out of the window.
Johnny arrives at the airport around 4:00pm. He pays the driver and walks into the airport.
"One ticket for the next flight to New York City." Johnny says to the person at the counter.
