King of Hearts
Chapter 60 – The First Blow.
Don Pitch Robotnik's POV, Robotnik compound, New York.
Rover, Lace, Damien, a couple of our most trusted soldiers and caporegimes took their places around my office as I slowly entered to go for my desk.
"So what's the plan boss?" Wondered one of the capos as I took my seat to look towards Lace who had her eyes looking towards the front of my desk and not at me.
Gathering my thoughts, I replied.
"We need create a gap between us and Don Skier. An action that would cause him to get pressured into his compound so we could attack. What's his best course of action against us now with Reaver gone?" I asked around the room as Rover was quick to state.
"The police. He has the city's chief in his pocket and I can bet he'll use him and whatever cash he has to look into shutting us down."
"So we need to secure the chief. With him out of the way we can strip Skier of his last hope."
"Any ideas?" Wondered another one of my Capos as I thought deeply to begin nodding.
"Yeah, it's one that may just give us every advantage over him."
"Let's here it then." Urged my uncle as he stood next to the door with his arms crossed.
Looking back to Lace and Rover, I replied.
"I'm thinking stages. The first involves this chief of police. Rover, I want you and Lace to get this guy to play ball for the winning team. Appeal to his interests. Do whatever you got to do, but make sure he knows the future of New York will be ours, not Skier's. And as a main concern, after your done, get him to ignore any calls coming from Skier's compound. We don't want any interruptions when we make our move."
"Yes sir." Replied Rover as Lace kept silent.
Looking to the other main Caporegimes, I then ordered.
"As for the second. We need to cut off any flow of income for Skier. Divide this among yourselves, but I need a team to take his ports, his rackets, and lastly his warehouse where he keeps most of his goods. Do your best to avoid the cops. And kill as only a last resort. Robotnik is not a name of butchery."
"Yes sir, Don Robotnik." Replied my Capos as I then looked to Damien.
"Lastly, I need you in that compound Damien. Once stages one and two are done, I will want everyone else back here for stage three."
With all eyes on me I stated.
"We will push the compound on all fronts with the main distractions up at the front gate. Which in return will give Damien the chance to reach Don Skier and end this war before it even started."
Slowly Damien questioned.
"You just want me to kill him?"
Nodding I replied.
"At first sight."
Looking back to the side of the room; Damien went silent as I then stated.
"With Skier dead, our family will take this city. New York will belong to Robotnik and no one else. But to get that done I need all of you to be on the top of your game. Do we understand the plan?" I asked towards everyone as I looked about the room to see nods and smiles being given towards me apart from Lace and Damien.
"Good. Now let's get this started people. And...good luck. Report in once your done your jobs."
"Yes sir." Everyone replied as my office door began to be exited by the group of commanders.
Relaxing in my seat, I was soon approached by Damien who asked.
"Are you planning on doing this all today?"
Looking into my uncle's eyes I replied.
"He gets no time to recover Damien. We do this all today."
Nodding, Damien made his way out of my office to get started on his task.
As he left, I found Lace left over. Her eyes slowly glanced up to me as I took a relaxing gulp and leveled myself to her.
I was worried about what she was thinking, but slowly getting up from her seat she came around my desk to take a hold of hand and pull me up.
Now looking into her eyes, I smiled as she came in to kiss me on the lips.
After a few silent seconds, she retracted to make her way out my door and I would guess after Rover who was waiting outside.
Gently shutting my door, I retook my seat to shout to myself.
"Yes!"
Don Robert Skier's POV, Skier compound.
Jackson stood before me as I was breaking down. This wasn't suppose to happen this way.
"Fuck!" I shouted as I stood up to hear from Jackson.
"What can I do to help Don Skier?"
Keeping my pace up back and forth I replied.
"Go kill Pitch Robotnik! Oh but wait! Your too much of a chicken shit to do that! No! What I need from you right now Jackson is to get everyone around here alert! Just in case Robotnik decides to jump us! Can you do that!?" I asked as he nodded really fast to reply.
"Yes sir."
Making his way out of my office, I turned back around to pin my head against the wall. I can't believe Reaver's death is the cause of all this. My failure as a Don is because he's dead now. What is the fucking luck of that? I asked myself as I sat back down in anger.
In a matter of hours I could be killed. If Robotnik is as half as good as his father Shadow Robotnik is, then he knows that I'm at my weakest now and will take me out. But I pray to god he's just as dumb as every teenager his age is.
Well a one day war would be pretty good for telling the other families your not meant to be fucked with. Anyway please let me know what you think as always. And leave a love and a hug.
mT Shadow.
