Chapter 9: The Three Amigos
Marco and Matteo walked inside the restaurant and sat near the table where all the Capos were sitting. They ordered some veal and sipped on some wine.
"Anyways what I'm saying is we need to be prepared to select a boss in case Nicky gets life." Richie stated.
"Well Angelo or Vito will more then likely want it. But it will probably be Angelo since he is a Leone." Rusty replied.
"Yeah well either way we need to have the position changes quick and fast so we don't lose money." Al added on.
As Marco began to eat his veal which had just arrived, he could see Richie talking to the other Capos and he tried to listen in when something caught his eye. Three men dressed in black clothes with black ski masks, drove a car into the restaurant. They exited the car and took cover with their Ak-47's. Marco ran and tackled Richie to the ground to save him from being shot. Rusty, Al, and Mario jumped behind the cash register while their men fired back at the three masked gangsters.
Matteo pulled a 9mm from his jacket and started firing back at the masked men. Dickie and Sergio flipped a table over so that they could have protection for Marco and Richie. Dickie ran to the kitchen of the restaurant and grabbed a shotgun from a pantry. He ran back to the main room of the restaurant and tossed the weapon to Richie. Richie clutched the weapon and blasted a shell into the chest of one of the masked men, killing him on impact. The last two masked men fired a few more shots and then left in the car they came in. Once the car was gone, everyone scanned for casualties.
"Anyone hit?" Richie yelled.
"Al and Mario are hit pretty badly. Wait… Al is dead!" Rusty responded.
"I'll call an ambulance." Dickie said pulling out his cell phone.
Marco looked around for Matteo, he ran over to the table where he had been sitting and was sad to see his friend, Matteo's bullet riddled body. After a few minutes an ambulance had arrived and the paramedics carted Mario inside it. Rusty climbed inside to ride along.
"I'll meet you at the hospital." Rusty called out to Richie.
"Ok we'll follow behind you." Richie replied.
Richie ran to his car with Dickie and Sergio. Mean while Marco was still inside with his dead friend. He walked over to the masked man and hoped it wasn't who he thought it was. Marco ripped the mask off, to find out that the true identity of the masked man was Sean Tismonte.
"Oh fck! How could they be so stupid?" Marco blurted out loud to himself.
He tucked his gun away, and left headed for the hospital.
