Chapter 3: Lunchtime
Taka sat in his cell staring at the dark grey cement walls smoking his cigarette as Benny walked in.
"I knew you would visit Benny. When I heard about Anton, I knew you would stop by to see me as well." Taka said smoothly. "So let me guess, you've come to settle the dispute right?"
"No. I'm here to make you an offer on behalf of the Don Leone, a deal." Benny replied.
"Ok then explain this deal to me." Taka replied as he took another puff of his cigarette.
"You know your brother Zen? Well I visited his cell earlier and he gave me a little present." Benny answered coldly.
"What?" Taka questioned.
Benny pulled a severed tongue out of his pocket and shoved it in Taka's mouth along with Taka's cigarette. He held Taka's mouth shut and pushed him down on the mattress.
"The deal is your brother Zen is dead. This tongue in your mouth right now is his. Now, Don Leone wants you to stop warring with everyone you meet and form an alliance with us. If you refuse, then you die. If you accept, then you'll have to buy all your weapons and drugs from us. So do you accept?" Benny whispered calmly.
Taka shook his head in a yes motion, and Benny let go of him. Nino watched in amazement from the cell door as Benny walked out.
"Come on kid its lunch time."
Nino followed Benny's command and left with him towards the cafeteria. Once they arrived, they stood inline and sidestepped slowly down the line, putting food on their trays. After they finished collecting their lunch, they sat down next to Benny's three friends from the yard at a table near by.
"Kid, this is Eddie, Aldo, and Pietro." Benny stated as he began to eat his food.
Nino shook hands with each man and then began to eat as well. After they had finished, Benny nodded towards Eddie and Aldo. Both men nodded back and knew what to do. They stood up and started beating the life out of Pietro as Benny continued to eat. Nino was in shock as he dropped his fork, and almost fell on the floor. Aldo and Eddie grabbed everything they could use to beat on Pietro, everything from their lunch trays, to beating his head on the table.
"Here." Benny said stopping the beating for a minute, "Use my fork I'm done with it."
Aldo grabbed Benny's fork and started stabbing Pietro in the forehead and chest with it, drawing blood. Eddie and Aldo beat and stabbed Pietro a little longer until they finally killed him.
"What the hell was that all about?" Nino asked Benny frantically.
"That was nothing, just a little bad blood. I'll catch you later kid I have to go see someone." Benny answered as he left the table.
Eddie and Aldo glared at the other prisoners as they followed closely behind Benny. Nino attempted to finish lunch, mean while the guards hauled Pietro's corpse away.
