Chapter 31: Long Time No See

Richie turned around quickly and started shooting. He missed as Lajos ducked down behind a table. Richie took cover as well, by the bar

"Hey Richie long time no see pal!" Lajos said.

"Yeah, well I figured it was time for a reunion." Richie replied as he loaded a new clip into his MP5.

"So you kill my brother?" Lajos responded as he fixed his eye patch.

"Well I like to make an impact." Richie answered.

"You always were an asshole Richie!"

"Still pissed about your eye huh Lajos?"

"I get pissed when I stomp my toe. Losing my eye just made me want a bloody vengeance." Lajos answered.

"Well look at it this way, at least you get to park in the handicap spaces." Richie replied with a smirk.

Lajos and Richie both peaked up and unleashed their wrath on each other. The air was thick with bullets flying back and forth. Finally, both of them ran out of bullets. They had both missed as well. Richie quickly dropped his MP5 and pulled a 9mm out from his pants and fired. He managed to clip Lajos on the head. Lajos pulled out another 9mm and fired back. The first bullet whizzed by Richie's neck, just barely missing him. The second bullet came hurtling towards him, and landed right in Richie's side. Richie fired a few more times while clutching his side. Lajos and Richie fired back and forth. Then they both ran out of bullets again. They both ducked back down to reload.

"Richie you were like family, like a brother to me." Lajos yelled as he put a fresh new clip into both of his nine millimeters.

"Oh yeah, I'm sure I was like a brother to you, that's why you stabbed me in the back." Richie replied sarcastically.

"FCK YOU! I did five years in prison!" Lajos responded.

"Five years is nothing, I can do that standing up. Try doing fcking ten years in a prison because some Hungarian piece of sht!" Richie shouted back angrily.

Both men rose to their feet and were about to open fire when, sirens broke the tension.

"Fck!" Lajos screamed.

He fired at Richie and ran out the front door of the bar.

"Damn it!" Richie muttered as he tossed his gun down.

He had to decide between running out the back door to escape, and staying to help Dickie, who was crawling on the floor. Richie stayed and tended to his friend.

"Don't move the police will bring an ambulance and we'll be out of here in no time."

With in a few minutes police raided the bar and placed Richie under arrest. Dickie was carted off to the hospital with a police escort. Richie was taken to the hospital as well so they could patch up his side and remove the bullet.
