Chapter 3: Alice
BloodyDemon666: Alright, let's switch gears shall we? It's time to bring in Alice, and she's going to have John do some hoop jumping before we have ourselves a little showdown. (Imitates "The Good The Bad And The Ugly" theme)
John: Okay wise ass, can you smarten up?
BloodyDemon666: Has anyone ever told you are a total wet blanket?
(Author digs into a bag of Doritos)
Revy: (Grabbing the author's arm) Surrender the nachos, and I might spare your arm.
BloodyDemon666: Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! It's going to be a cold day in hell when that happens, anyway, enjoy the next chapter.
[Kwan Shei Chinese restaurant]
This place was really snooty and you also have to be formally dressed to be in here, Revy hated the fact that she had to wear a dress...just hated it. She didn't want to wear such a cliche thing on her body, but it was a part of the dining establishment's customs since it first opened, and Revy is wearing high heels and she couldn't walk straight since she wasn't used to them.
"FUCK! How can some women manage to walk in these?" Revy snapped, we were almost to the restaurant and she was trying to balance herself.
As soon as we got inside, we were greeted by the maitre'd, he looked at the both of us and Revy was looking disgusted for wearing a dress.
"Can I help you?" The maitre'd asked, and I spoke on behalf of the both of us.
"We're here to see Alice Chang." I said, and the maitre'd nodded as he extended out his hand.
"Miss Chang is expecting you, right this way." The maitre'd said as we followed him to a banquet hall where we were greeted by our friends along with some of Alice's Triad goons.
I pulled out a seat for Revy as she sat down and I took a seat right next to her, just then, Alice's personal bodyguard Ares began to frisk Revy searching for any weapons, and Revy was getting a little testy about it…
"What are you trying to find?" Revy asked, and Ares grabbed her breasts.
"Weapons of course, I need to check both of you and John." She said as I got up, and held my arms out to the side.
She then began to pat me down and she didn't find any weapons either, so I sat back down and Ares sat right next to Alice as she whispered in Alice's ear that we were both clean.
It turned out that Alice bought an emperor's feast which was a lot of food, and we all began to dig in, some of the rich people all over New York come here to try some of the most expensive yet really elegant cuisine that this establishment could produce, and we helped ourselves to as much food as we could eat, Ares took a potsticker and took a bite off of it, she then fed the other half to Alice as she began to suck on the chopsticks that she was eating with, she loved Ares as much much as Ares loved her.
"Seriously get a fucking room you two." Revy sneered, and Alice clapped her hands looking to get to business.
"John, the reason why I called you here along with some of your friends, is the fact that you and your friends along with my younger half brother were all in the plot to kill my father, and I know for a fact that my dear sweet loving man that brought me and Aiden into this world was snuffed out, and the man was responsible for killing him was all of you, and to make it up to me, I'm going to ask you to run a gauntlet, and if you refuse, then I'll murder all of those around you that you care about, and I'll save you best for last." Alice said, and she meant it.
"Your father had it coming! And he also murdered Rock!" Revy snapped as she shot up up out of her seat, she was trying to make sure she was balance, and I helped Revy sit down as she was wobbling and now it was my turn to say something.
"Not only was he responsible for that, he also decided to bring me back by digging up my late wife's grave along with setting it on fire, he also killed the owner of the Continental as well, Winston." I said, and I began to eat my plate of food, Revy was wolfing down as much food as she could eat, shen then began to drink a glass of wine as well.
"If I can speak on behalf of the crew here, along with John Wick, what is this gauntlet you speak of?" Dutch asked, he wanted to get to the point.
"You never asked John about the 'impossible task' that he managed to pull off for his associate Viggo?" Alice said trying to bring up my past.
"What does that have to do with this gauntlet?" Revy asked, and I needed to make sure that everybody was on the same page here.
"The task took me one night to do, I don't think I could be able to do it in that same amount of time." I said, but she widened the window.
"Actually your time limit is one month, if you can pull this off, then I'll forgive all of your transgressions, however if you tend to walk away from this or try to betray me, I'll will hunt you down and skin you alive. And that is a promise." Alice said backing up her promise.
Alice then gave Ares an envelope and she walked over to me and she handed me the envelope as I opened it, inside was all the information on all the targets we need to kill.
"We're going to Italy first for Santino D'Antonio, he needs us to kill off his sister, Gianna D'Antonio." I said as I placed all of the information along with the pictures of the targets into the envelope.
"And I also included some targets for you to locate in Italy as well, why don't you try to enjoy yourself for now and just enjoy this lovely dinner." Alice said as she began to eat as well.
We enjoyed the dinner and as soon as everyone had their fill, we parted ways and it seemed that Balalaika had bought into the Red Circle and she hooked us up with a penthouse near it.
Also she set us up with a 1971 Plymouth RoadRunner, when we got to the car, there was a group of ten Triads.
"You John Wick?" The lead Triad said, and he pulled out a pair of nunchaku, the others pulled out some Makarov pistols.
"Who's asking?" Revy asked, and she was starting to get her balance, the Triad then tried to swing his nunchaku at Revy but she slammed her heel right into the carotid as blood began to pour out and he collapsed onto the ground and one of the Triads armed with pistols aimed his gun at Revy and I quickly grabbed the son of a bitch before he could lay a single bullet on my girlfriend, so I snapped the man's arm using and grabbed the gun shooting three more in the head with one shot a piece, after their bodies dropped, I quickly grabbed two guns and tossed them over to Revy.
[Meanwhile with Alice…]
Alice was on the phone, with Ares being in the shower, as she made a call to an archive system she happened to have on hand from one of her personal assassins, she dialed the number and an operator plugged into the call line.
"Operator?" The woman asked and she got a reply…
"Accounts payable please." Alice said, she was looking to set up John Wick as a marked man.
"One moment please." The operator said as she switched over to the accounts payable office, there an older woman picked up the call.
"Account payable how may I help you?" The accountant asked, and Alice said this…
"I'd like to set up an account." Alice said and the accountant began to fill out the paperwork.
"Name on the account?"
"John Wick."
"Price for the account?"
"$14 million."
"Is this an open contract or private?"
"Open. Among those in the USA, China, and Italy."
"Name of the account holder?"
"Alice Chang."
"Account pin number?"
"18244"
"Order 18244 has been approved, and is being filed." The accountant said as both ladies hung up.
The paper work began to get filled with all of the information on the target, along with my photo, the accountant then began to type all of the info on a typewriter, she then took all of the information, and placed it into a plastic tube sending it to the processor and the woman began to type up the account as it was being sent to the three countries.
Just then a small handful of assassins began to receive a text message from an anonymous source for my head, $14 million for my life, and they are going to make a huge mistake.
"Hey John, we might need to get out of here, now!" Revy shouted as she got into the car, I got in the car as we began to pull out, now begins the long war between Santino, Alice, and us, the Lagoon Company.
