So one more chapter after this. this chapter is technically the end of the movie but i wanted to put Chicago in it so that's what the last chapter is going to be! well that and how she feels when she finds out that Murphy and Connor left with out saying goodbye.

Chapter 9

The next morning Ana stood Murphy as Connor and Il Duce pulled up; frowning Ana kissed Murphy before starting up to the theater; Murphy watched her walk in before he got in;

"did you tell her we're leaving right after?" Connor asks; Murphy shook his head. Connor sighed and shook his head; "she's never going to forgive you."

Murphy just turned back to the window. Minutes later they pulled up to the Court house; Smecker opened the door from the inside and let men in. He walked one way; they walk the other through the grand courthouse halls. The media, with their cameras and notebooks, were at the back of the courtroom. Yakavetta was testifying on the stand; Cocky as ever. Two Media guys talked about how he was going to get off; The MacManusus stood in the foyer. There were a pair of doors that went to the outside hallway and a pair that went to the inside courtroom. There was an armed guard directly inside the courtroom, in front of the doors. Connor waved the guard into the foyer and started talking to him. Then Il Duce zapped him with a stun gun. The guard dropped to the floor, incapacitated and drooling as the boys handcuffed him. Connor pulled out a length of chain and draped it through the door handles that lead from the hall into the foyer. He locked them in with a padlock.

"How long do these put a man down for?" Their Father asked

"Ten minutes." Murphy replied; His father zaped the incapacitated man a second time.

"Twenty is a bit better." he said answering the confused expression that was on Murphy's face. They suit up, Connor and Murphy in their usual masks and gloves, Il Duce was already in his usual dark hat and glasses.

The boys started for the courtroom door but Il Duce gently held them back. He took a moment, then slowly removed his hat and glasses. His sons looked at one another and then removed their masks. One thought of the killing that was going to take place; the other thought of a blonde he was leaving behind. The three looked into each others eyes for a moment.

"Due to the lack of hard evidence..." the judge started; The three burst in, guns drawn, and were walking down the aisle.

"All media to the back! Drop the cameras! Drop 'em!" Il Duce yelled; Terrified, they all obeyed. Connor and Murphy pulled Yakavetta from the witness booth by his hair and placed him on his knees just before the judge's bench. They faced him toward the occupants of the courtroom. Their father walked up and motioned for the judge, who was now banging his gavel and shouting in protest, to come off the stand.

As soon as he was within arms reach, Il Duce took him by the collar and drags him down the aisle all the way to where the media stood in horror. He turned and walked back down the aisle.

"You people have been chosen to reveal our existence to the world. You will witness what happens here today and you will tell of it afterwards." Il Duce shouted to the people in the room; All eyes Snapped to the front. Yakavetta told his friends to do something; Il Duce kept them covered. He passed the front, he looked and seen a woman with her head down crying into her hands; She is on the left side. He gently tilted her chin forward, her eyes fixated on a faded blue butterfly on the back of his hand.

"You must watch dear. It'll all be over soon." He whispered to her. Il Duce took out a flask. He poured the booze on the judges bench and set it ablazed. Fire alarms started to sound. Connor and Murphy jumpped up on the lawyers' tables. Murphy on the prosecution side, Connor on the defense. Il Duce has his sawed-off to the back of Yakavetta's head.

"Now, you will receive us." Connor yelled over the alarm

"We do not ask for your poor or your hungry." Murphy shouted also over the alarm

"We do not want your tired and sick."

"It is your corrupt we claim."

"It is your evil, who will be sought by us."

"With every breath we shall hunt them down." Murphy shouted thinking of Rocco and of Ana's friend Ruby.

"Each day we will spill their blood till it rains down from the skies."

"Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace."

"These are not polite suggestions. They are codes of behavior and those that ignore them will pay the dearest cost." Connor yelled as he pointed to Yakavetta.

"There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth" Murphy pointed to Yakavetta's people. "Not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption... into our domain."

"For if you do, there will come the day when you look behind you and see we three. And on that day you will reap it."

"And we will send you to whatever God you wish." Connor and Murphy jumpped off the table. They approached Yakavetta and stood on either side of their father. All three men held guns to his head and recited the prayer. As they speak, the right side of the courtroom screamed in protest. The left watched in wide-eyed terror, although some men encouraged them to do it. Yakavetta, accepting his fate, closed his eyes. Peacefully, he did the sign of the cross. The all fired at once. The room exploded in confusion. The three exit the back.

The MacManuses; now changed, were all shackled and in blue jumpsuits of the Boston lock-up facility with bags over their heads. Duffy was in full uniform with a shotgun behind them. Smecker was leading he prisoners down the hall. He flashed his F.B.I. identification to every cop he encountered.

Again sorry it was short but next chapter is longer. mainly cause there's a song in it from Chicago!
