Chapter 3: Proposition from Fugaku
"I'm knocking for the pot." he plays a two and I shout "FUCK! I was looking for an ace." I knew for a fact that Fugaku would be on my trail, but he always seems to go under my radar. I am keeping both eyes open and on him. The two bouncers who were guarding the door stopped the commissioner before he could walk in on our game "It's alright, I happen to be on your side." He opens his left shirt sleeve by unbuttoning it and reveals the insignia of the Sinner Mafia on his left forearm. The bouncers let him pass, he walks up and asks "Got room for one more?" I ask "You got any money to play? You're going to need it." Fugaku pulls up a chair, and places a large amount of bills on the table the game was over everyone put their money in the pot including Fugaku. It was my turn to shuffle and deal. I am a horrible shuffler of cards.
I can't bridge so Fugaku took the cards and did a little casino style shuffling as we all watched in surprise and shock as he was shuffling the cards as a professional. He handed the deck back to me, I dealt five cards to each person and myself last then dealt thirteen cards. I played one card after another matching cards and others matched their cards. Fugaku and I were down to our last cards, we each had one card left. I took the last card from the face down pile flipped it over and saw it was a King of Hearts. "King of Hearts" I said, I had a King of Spades I got rid of my last card. Fugaku had a King of Diamonds, so we split the pot of $50,500.00 I had $25,250.00 and Fugaku had the other half. I looked at him and asked "What brings you all the way down from your nest at police headquarters and mingle with some lowlifes like us?"
Fugaku replies, "Lowlifes, I'd pretty much prefer vigilantes who wait for an opportunity to strike on an enemy mafia. The reason why I'm here is the fact that we share a common enemy, Madara Uchiha." I asked, "Weren't you a part of the Uchiha Clan?" He looked at me and answered "Yes, but when the wars of the past were too much, I wanted to turn over and die. But instead, I switched from the Uchiha clan to being a member of the Sinner Mafia. By doing that, I was secretly known as a double agent." I knew for a fact that Fugaku was being honest because when I looked him in the eyes, I saw his total honesty. "Did you know your ex-wife is in the hospital in a coma?" I asked out of sympathy. "No, and why should I care about her?" Fugaku asked with a little attitude. "I care about her! She means everything to me! I'm her nephew and I care for her and I'll see her when she wakes up! If you really don't care about her, then you're just a cold-hearted bastard!" I snapped at him because Mikoto meant everything to me after my uncle Jeff died. And I didn't want to lose her too. "Roman chill, you really need to relax because is a Sinner and a legendary one too."
Dominic said as he had an arm extended out to repress me. "I'm sorry, I just don't want to lose her like I lost my uncle. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go see my aunt at the hospital." I took the winnings and left the scene went out to my uncle's car, turned off the car alarm, got in and started the car. I drove allover downtown until I reached Hells Falls General Hospital. I walked in asked the nurse if I could see Mikoto, she guided me to her room. There she was still in that damn coma from that car bomb. I pulled up a chair, had her hand in my hand, then I said, "Auntie, if you can hear me, I want you to know that your nephew will be here until you wake up." The steady beeps of the heart monitor and her steady breathing filled the room.
I sat there until visiting hours were over. I did this ritual again and again until Valentines Day, because when I walked in with a balloon, a bouquet of roses, and a card...that was when she woke up. "Good to see that you're awake, and just two days before my birthday." I said to her. She was still a little weak and she could barley talk let alone say a sentence. The nurse walks in "How's everything in here?" I pointed at my aunt as the nurse noticed that she was awake. "Could you please tell me, how long will she be here before she is discharged?" I kindly asked the nurse, "Seeing her wake up out of her coma, she'll be out of here the day after tomorrow." she replied nicely. Then out of nowhere Orochimaru appears out of nowhere. "Well talk about a snake in the grass, is there anything you need from me?" Orochimaru smirked and said "Yes, can I talk to you in my office?" I walked out into the hall followed by Lord Orochimaru.
"This better be good. Because I have no intentions of reviving my old ways." I said unhappily to see Orochimaru. He smiled and asked me, "Did you bring your guns? You'll need them for an assignment I need you to do for me." I opened my leather jacket and showed him a pair of Glock 19s. "Thank God for the second amendment in the Bill of Rights. What is thy bidding my lord?" I said as I closed up my jacket and kneeled in front of him. "I need you to kill Kabuto Yakushi for me and that'll send a message to anyone who betrays me." I got up and asked him, "Where can I find Kabuto?" Orochimaru replied, "You can find him at the church, take these. You'll need them to kill Kabuto." Orochimaru handed me a clip with bullets that have a tinted blue color on the head. "What kind of bullets are these?"
Orochimaru looked at me and said, "These, are chakra sealers. Shoot one and it'll seal one's chakra from that part permanently." I looked at lord Orochimaru directly in the eyes for the first time and said to him, "Meet me at the church, We'll take care of this problem on our terms." I told the nurse that I was leaving, she okayed my leaving. I left the hospital de-clipped the Glock 19s of their original bullets and put in the chakra sealers. I knew for a fact that Kabuto must've faked his own death thinking he's a walking corpse. but this time, I was ready, willing, and able to kill Kabuto Yakushi for good.
I just hope these bullets will put him in his place and send him six feet under. I dialed the number for the swat team from hell, the Masako unit and had it on standby so when I press "Call" the Masako will surround us and he'll have no choice but to give up.
