Chapter Twenty
With war over, things were starting to fall even farther into place for James, Mia, Frank, and Pandora; Frank's wedding was coming up fast, which meant Pandora would be leaving with her perfect match soon. James on the verge of graduating early and Mia was slowly planning her own wedding to Murphy. She knew wanted to be married in the Church that they take Mass as every morning and for Father Bishop to officiate over it. She wanted both James and Remus to give her away, Teddy to be the ring barer and if she was walking by then Lillian as Flower girl. Of course, the more she planned the more she just wanted to elope and be done with it, who knew planning a wedding was so stressful.
The twins had reopened their Joke shop in Wizarding Boston and was making more money then they had back in England. It seemed Jokes were a big thing there in Wizarding Boston and they were major supply from their Carnary Creams to their fanged frisbees. Their puffskins were a big hit among the young witches not quite old enough for a familiar of their own, they came in multiple colors ranging from pink to purple and anything in between.
Life for the MacManus twins was just as hectic, they practically were training new people on daily basis and their friend Rocco was trying to move up from being just a package boy. Their 24th birthday was approaching soon and this year they had more to celebrate then the past years, they had Mia and James in their lives. James was quickly becoming family to the boys, after all he was practically family to Mia so he would be Murphy's brother-in-law someday.
They had gotten to know Remus and his little family, they quite liked the little Metamorphmagus and his little sister who had Conor wrapped around her little finger. Franks wedding went off without a hitch, his parents were well enough for a trip, so they were there as well. Pandora was right, met her perfect match in Queenie's cousin Rolf Scamander who was in town for the wedding, in which right afterwards she left go on a hunting expedition with Rolf. No one knew where they were going or when they would be back but they wished her well on her travels.
Finally, their birthday arrived and in true fashion, they went to church caught the attention of the visiting Father and went to work while Mia went back home to sleep before work that night. Once at work they joked around like normal until they were to train the new employee, who didn't take Conor's rule of wrist joke very well. After all she kicked him the nuts for making the comment he did out jest without really any malice in his voice, of course Murphy had to stand up for his brother and punched woman out.
Normally they wouldn't hit women, but she brought it up on herself when she hit Conor below the belt; by the end of the shift James had to help Conor home so he could ice his balls for going for a pint at the Pub to celebrate their birthday. After all everyone was Irish today, it being St. Patty's day and all; while Murphy was about to get in the shower their mother called to wish them a happy birthday. Just like every year they ask her who was born first and just like every year her answer was the one with the bigger dick.
Which had Murphy rolling on the floor because currently he was the bigger brother since Conor was icing his balls. By the time they were ready to go they picked up Mia and James and headed out to McGinty's for that pint which was very much needed now at least for Conor. They had been at the bar drinking for about an hour when Rocco comes in saying "Yo fuck ass, get me a beer."
The twins were happy to see as usual, through out the night Rocco and Doc played their get Doc to say fuck me in ass. Mia just shook her head at there antics and went about her night, finally when there was just a handful of Patrons left Doc dropped a bomb. "Look fellows I am going to have to close up the bar, fuck ass, the Russian's are buying up properties around town left and right." He said with a sad look upon his face.
Rocco brought up talking to his boss but that was quickly shut down, after all what could the Italian do to help. Mia was in the middle getting ready to kick everyone out when some Russian's came in and told everyone to leave cause the bar was closing right then and there. Of course, Rocco said something to insult the Russian's and the boys came to their defense which started a bar fight, Murphy and Conor tied one of the Russian's to the bar and proceeded to light his ass on fire.
James was had a blast during the bar fight since it was his first one ever, Mia on the other was scared out of mind with worry. Finally, the four of them went home and to bed, well not before a kiss goodnight for Murphy.
When morning came Murphy hadn't come to get her for morning mass, so she went to go find him and Conor, instead found their flat flooding with water and their toilet missing with no sign of her boys. She knew something bad had happened so she went straight to Doc, who she knew they would call in an emergency. She waited on bated breath to hear from Murphy just so she knew he was alright, about ten minutes after arriving Murphy called to say they were alright and at the hospital but before they could get there an FBI Agent came in to talk about the boys.
He said he knew that they were innocent and just wanted to hear the boys side of things for the record. So, he left them his card and told them to have the boys call him, after leaving Doc and Mia went to the hospital to see for themselves that they were okay. Doc gave them the card and told them what the FBI Agent had said about them being innocent of they wondered how that was possible when they hadn't spoken to anyone about what happed yet.
They asked Doc to hold onto some items for them and Murphy kissed Mia as an apology for getting into a fight twice in one day. She didn't know what she was going to do with her boys, yes Conor was her's even though she was with Murphy after all they were a package deal. She left the boys and headed to morning mass to send a little prayer out for her boys, while she was at church the boys were seen and released from the hospital.
They then made their way to the police station were they heard one of the officers saying something about dragging a potato in South Boston on string, and course Conor piped off with "You would have better luck with a beer." And Murphy said, "Aye you would." Which brought about a ribbing on that officer. They were lead to a room and asked a bunch of questions in which they had to show off their knowledge of various languages, then when they found out the press was outside ready to pounce on them once they left they were told they could stay there for the night to let the situation outside die down.
The called Rocco who brought them a change of clothes and their crucifix's from the wall by the door, sometime during the night they got a calling from God to smite all that is evil. The next morning, they were in the middle of waking up when the Russian's pager went off, while Conor made a phone call Murphy found out that they were being dubbed the Saints of South Boston. He started blessing everyone with coffee as a joke, Conor came back and they left; first they headed to see Mia to let her know they were alright, then to Doc's to get their bag of stuff he was holding for them. From there they went to see someone about guns and wound up getting a knife and rope as well, then they proceeded to go to the Hotel that had the Russian's friends waiting for them to arrive.
They then started to crawl through the vents just to start fighting about how hot it was getting up there, then as if planned the fell through the ceiling and started shooting everyone in the room. When they finally broke free from the rope they had the head guy on his knees, that's when they said "Power hath descended forth from thy hand that our feet swiftly carry out thy command. So, we shall flow a river forth to Thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spirtus Sancti." And shot him in the back of the head.
They were amazed at how easy it was to kill everyone, then they wondered what was in the black suitcase on the Bar top. They came to realize that it was full of cash, Murphy said something about doing it every day. Just then the doorbell rang, and Conor saw that it was Rocco. They figured it must be his big break, so they decided to fuck with him, they pulled down their masks and dragged him inside. He made a comment about them being back up or something then they noticed he only had a six shooter and they asked if was going to laugh the other three to death.
He told them he was told there wasn't going to be that many, just as he was about to shit himself they took off their masks to reveal who they were. The three of them went to Rocco's flat and stayed up all night talking, Rocco banged his hands on the table and a gun went off killing a cat. They then fell asleep, by the time they woke up the next day, Conor had a nagging feeling that Vincenzo had set Rocco up for failure. Of course, Rocco wasn't having it and left after saying to bury the cat, later that day he called the boys up to check in.
He ended the call by saying "Catch you on the flip side.", while Rocco was gone his druggie girlfriend and her friend showed up just to crash on the couch. A little bit later Rocco came in like his ass was fire talking about how it was a set up and this and that, and how they needed to leave. Of course, that woke up his girlfriend up along with her friend Rainy, he then proceeded to tell he killed her cat to bring closer to their relationship and then asked what color it was.
The three of them quickly left and Rocco was talking about how he knew everyone and everything to do with the local branch of the Italian mob and with his help they could take them out one by one. They then went to check in with Mia was at her wits end waiting for word from her boys. They told her what they had done the night before and had planned for that night, she of course was upset in their choices, but she wasn't going to stand in their way. All she asked was to be kept in the loop and to come to her if they needed healing.
She would be there waiting for when they were done and ready to run with them, she wasn't going to let this break them apart. Over the next few days, she would listen to the news and hear about the latest killings and pray that her boys were safe, it was almost a week later they came to her shot up. Instead of asking something she didn't want the answer too, she just fixed them up with healing potions that Pandora had stocked up on.
Now she understood the whole stocking of the Potion thing that Pandora just had to do, like everything it would remain a mystery when it came to Pandora. By the time they were healed enough, they convinced her to go with them right away because after the big one they were heading back to Ireland. She said she would go on one condition, she and Murphy were to have Father Bishop marry them before they left. She already had the marriage license, it was something she took upon herself to get knowing it was going to be needed. Murphy agreed and they grabbed James and went to see Father Bishop, little did they know they were walking into a trap later that night when they were going off to the bosses house.
But first they had a wedding to do, then they were going to on their last hunt before leaving; while they were getting prepared to be married the FBI Agent stubbles into the church and into the confessional where he proceeded to spill his guts about what was going on. Then Mia and Murphy were married before the eyes of God and their friends, afterwards Mia and James went to pack up what they wanted to take with them when they left in the next couple of days.
