Chapter 24: Salting And Burning The Wound
This is Jane Goodman with breaking news!
Maurice Mackowitz has been murdered! A week ago two armed women shot at his restaurant, damaging the interior and frightening customers. In the ensuing madness the owner, Maurice Mackowitz, ran for his life. He was last seen running to the kitchen but he disappeared soon afterwards and hasn't been seen since. Mackowitz was found today in a dumpster with his throat slit, he was covered in numerous bruises and what appeared to be burn marks on his body.
Mackowitz was suspected of having ties to Dutch organized crime. Law enforcement now believes that this may now have something with the explosion at the Amsterdam Star winery. As for the ones who were responsible, they are still at large.
I'm Jane Goodman, reporting the news.
The flat screen is clicked off. Sunny turns over to Chelsea and Geraldine "Damn, so that's what he did to him?" Geraldine looked on in shock "Technically speaking...yeah" Sunny uneasily said back; she saw that footage. Dericourt showed her a piece of footage that he had taken and sent it to that Dutch guy. It was the one thing that was on her mind as of this moment. She could still see it now.
Skin being smacked, the bruises start to bleed. Purple, blue, and a light shade of yellow is covering the skin. His right eye is swollen and black. He heavily breathes and takes a quick gulp of air. Two people come over. Their faces are blurred out. The one on the right smokes a cigarette and blows smoke in his face, the one on the left pulls out a cigarette and lights it himself. The one on the right takes a hit of the cigarette, he inhales until the tip glows bright orange. He finally blows all that smoke in his face and Mackowitz coughs, choking on the nicotine. Suddenly the one on the right puts out the cigarette on his skin, he howls and screams in agony. The smoke burns itself on the flesh, his fat face contorts in pain. The one on the left does the same thing, he howls and howls in pain for several minutes. The blurred faces smoke and put out their cigarettes on Mackowitz's skin, he just screams and screams. They stop and he starts to cry like a baby. He blubbers like one. They move away and his face looks up the camera. The pain not really subsiding is the only thing that's on his face. The camera suddenly goes black and the sound stops.
Sunny snapped out of it, wanting to put that out of her head. She knows that she's going to have a sleepless night or two to try too get rid of that memory.
"So, what's on today's agenda?" Chelsea looked at Sunny "Burn something down again? Or just kill this twat?" "Me and Geraldine are going to get this guy. We got to take out his security detail first. Chelsea, you're going to head to Pacific Bluffs. That Dutch guy has some associates that he does business with, they're going to be there for a gathering today" she explained "You're going to sneak in and plant some special package in the boiler room" "What kind of package exactly?" Chelsea looked on in eagerness "It goes boom, is that enough for you?" Sunny frowned "Yeah, that's enough!" she happily clapped her together "When me and Geraldine get done with kidnapping him, we'll park across from the place, I'll give you the signal and we'll watch the fireworks with our friend in the car". Chelsea rubbed her palms together with joy.
"Dericourt said that is the last push and that this guy is on his last legs, we got to put him out of his misery and then this will be over" Sunny suggested "Can we get something to eat afterwards?" Chelsea had a eager look on her face "No" Sunny simply answered "Well, can I take a dip in your pool?" "No" "Aw" she complained "Quit your bitching, just do everything right and we'll be right as rain".
"You're no fun" Chelsea pouted "Just go and plant that thing" Sunny orders. Chelsea runs to her car and takes off.
...
"Hello?" "Hola Sunny" "Que onda Roberta? (What's happening Roberta?)" "Estas listo para esta noche? (Are you ready for tonight?)" "Oh casi lo olvido! Nuestra noches especial! (Oh I almost forgot! Our special night!)" "Te estare esperando (I'll be waiting for you)" "No te preocupas, estarte listo (Don't worry, I'll be ready)".
Roberta giggled and hung up.
"Everythin' good with you?" Geraldine turned her eyes to Sunny "That was just my girlfriend," she happily responded "we have something planned for...tonight" Sunny had a naughty smile "I don't even wanna know" Sunny chuckles. "So listen, Chelsea told me about you and friend; something up?", Geraldine sighed as she stops at the red light "We just had a small fight, nothin' more" she answers "It was a little more than just a fight, bullets and some blue dye splattered on your face" a small smile appears on her face "Look, shit got complicated okay" Geraldine says with frustration "Right, you and your friend arguing the whole way back home is complicated?" she questioned, Geraldine shook her head.
"And did you take my advice and talk to her?", the light turns green "No" she simply answered "Why not?" "Man, if you ever met Reggie she'd dodge your ass from trying to talk her out of something" Geraldine fumed with anger "It's like talkin' to a little kid sometimes, she doesn't wanna listen to me". Sunny chuckles "Man, don't laugh; it ain't funny" Geraldine scoffed "It's a little funny" Sunny retorts "It's not funny okay, fuck". Sunny chuckles "Let me ask you something, is the reason why you won't say anything to your friend is because you're afraid that you might hurt her feelings? Or are you afraid that you might get hurt yourself?", Geraldine drove in silence unable to answer for a moment.
After a couple of minutes "Maybe, shit, I don't know" she uneasily answered "Well like I said, sit down and talk it over with her at least. If you have to tie her to a chair then do it" she chuckles "I'm gonna try next time I see her, I don't know if she's gonna listen to me; may as well shoot her ass".
"Alright we're near the area" Sunny looked at the backseat at the M-14 with a scope attachment "So how is this gonna work?" Geraldine looked on as Sunny grabbed the rifle and the cartridges and pulled them to them to the front "You're going to blow out the tires and snipe those fuckers," she reaches under to the floor and pulls out an MP-40 "I'm going to go down there and finish the rest off and grab that fucker; I'll signal you to come over" she says as she loads the magazine and cocks the bolt. The passenger door opens and Sunny runs to position.
Geraldine loads the cartridge into the chamber, they looked like metallic build blocks She cocks the bolt and carefully the dial on the top of the scope and also on the side. Geraldine got out of her SUV and took a position with the rifle.
She stares down the scope. Two cars are on the highway, the first one obviously carried his security detail. The one behind carried the target. Her eye stared down at the first car. She pulls the trigger, the front tire explodes. It careens to the side and stops, the other car stops as well. Geraldine moves the sight an inch to the driver. The trigger gets pulled, his left ear explodes into a bloody mist. The detail now knows that they walked into. She aims for the driver's section of the second car. The windshield turns red. They all draw their weapons now knowing that somebody is out there. A shot rings out, a guard has a bloody spot on his shirt and he drops to the ground. They all shoot wildly everywhere. Seven more shots are fired, more go down.
Sunny springs up with her machine pistol in tow. Geraldine stares down the scope, some start to fall. The rat tat tat of the machine pistol echoes throughout the freeway. She aims at two as they an inch apart from each other. The bullet tears through their skulls simultaneously exploding together. She looks to the next pair. Three men firing at Sunny, not noticing or caring that two others had their skulls smashed at the same time. Three single shots take them down. Geraldine moves to another three and quickly takes them down. Sunny changes her magazine clip. The bolt is cocked and fires back at the guards. They just don't take the hint and keep firing. Sunny quickly and violently puts them down.
She approaches the backseat. Slowly Sunny opens the door; a scarred Dutchman is cowering on the floor of his car. Her nose gets a small smell of something. She looks to a wet spot between his legs. Somebody must have gone to the bathroom. She grabbed him by the arm and violently dragged him out of the car. She signaled for Geraldine to come over and pick them up.
Geraldine shoves the M-14 into the backseat and drives to their position. Sunny zip ties and gags Anders as Geraldine rapidly comes towards them. The SUV pulls up to them. Anders is shoved into the back seat. "Pacific Bluffs, let's go" Sunny orders as she closed the passenger door. Sunny pulls out her phone.
'We got him, you ready?' 'All set, just waiting you' 'Coming your way in a bit' 'I'll be ready ;-)'.
Pacific Bluffs
"Geraldine, let me ask you something" Sunny looked at her as she was driving "Yeah what?" "Are you happy?", Geraldine scoffed at the question "What do you mean?" "I mean are you happy where you are?" Sunny rephrased "Yeah, I'm sort of happy where I'm at". Sunny smirked "Really? Haven't you done anything with that money that we got from the heist?".
"No" Geraldine answered back as she kept eyes focused on the road "Why not?" her partner shot back "Man I don't know, just waitin' for the right moment I guess" "You mean for you and your friend?" Sunny questioned, Geraldine didn't answer this time. "Uh huh, I knew it..." she snorted "Knew what?" Geraldine looked back at her "You're too scared to tell her the truth". Geraldine growled mostly because Sunny may have been mostly right.
"Geraldine, I'm not trying to put you down but you at least got to grow a pair, and at least tell her what's up".
"Man, I'm tryin' okay...just really hard as hell" Geraldine felt shaky just thinking about it "Reggie's an idiot but like I said, me and her go way back. As far as kids" "You still live in that house that you live in, you got enough money to live in a home in the hills; come on. You know you can do better" Sunny frowned "I don't even wanna think about this anymore" Geraldine kept her eyes trained on the road. They hear some sound coming from their passenger in the backseat "Keep quiet" Sunny turned her head towards him "You're going to be in for a very, very big surprise when we get there" a menacing look is in her eyes. Geraldine sped up a bit more. They were getting close to their destination.
"Alright we're here" Geraldine pulled the SUV over to the side. Sunny slides to the message app. She presses Chelsea's name.
'We're here, ready?' 'Yeah! =D' 'Let her rip'.
Sunny points to the building. Anders simply turns his head to the view of the building that the event was supposed to hold the event.
Boooooooooom!
A loud thundering boom echoes through the area, a large fire soon erupts and engulfs the building. The whole thing is up in flames as another red and orange tear through the structure. People in the area look on as everything burns; quite the sight. Somebody appeared to be coming out, his body covered in flames. The people look on in horror as he walked towards them. The flames blacken his face and body, he stumbles and falls forward. He only showed one sign of life when he slowly turned onto his side and then onto his back, his body looking upward towards the sky. The orange and red flames burn away his face, the side of his cheek burning away exposing his teeth. The air smells of cooked flesh and burning death.
'Did I do good?' 'You did great. No better than great, fckn spectacular!' '=D!' 'Go home, we'll take care of the rest ;-)'.
A remote area outside of Los Santos
They drag Anders out of the car, he's furious above all else. Everything that he's worked for has gone up in flames. That Frenchman destroyed everything that he had worked himself to build, he got three girls of all people to help him out.
"Alright that's far enough" Sunny shoved him to the ground. She ungags him, he spits on her shoe "Teef! (Bitch!) Varkensneuker! (Pig fucker!) Hoeren! (Whores!)" he cursed in Dutch "Hey," Geraldine smiled "I think he's tryin' to tell you that he might be in love with you" she sarcastically chuckled "Aw! That's touching!" Sunny mocked him in a not so funny manner "Only problem I don't like dicks, let alone guys are so overrated; I'm more into girls" she smiled "Besides girls can do things guys can't, like make me happy and not act like a complete asshole praising their cock like it was the king of England". She pulls out her phone and flips to Dericout's name and puts it on speaker.
"Hello?" he answered "Klootzak! (Motherfucker!)" a cursing was his response "Ah, Anders" Dericourt boasted his soon to be dead rival "It's been so many years but you really shouldn't have messed with my business" his voice turned to intimidation mode "You really thought that you could bring me to my knees and beg? Didn't I warn once when I did business with you that you must never underestimate the opposing side? You just might get more than you bargained for. And look what you've done," he voice sounded more menacing "you just had to push me and now you're going to pay for your arrogance; Au revoir". Sunny turned the speaker to and puts the phone to her ear "Mm-hmm, yeah I got that" she swaps the off app.
She pulls out her .45, Geraldine pulls out her Beretta. They point them at their targeted area. "Fuck u! (Fuck you!)".
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bullet's tear through his flesh and chest cavity. Blood covers his nice tweed suit, his tie is covered in a number of holes.
"Man, you think that thing with those two is finally over?" Geraldine looked at Sunny "Well if that thing at that place didn't put the nail into their coffin then I don't what will".
"Come on, let's get out of here, I have something important to do with my girlfriend" Sunny cooed with excitement "Keep that shit to yourself, I don't wanna hear what you do in your bedroom" Geraldine put her hand up to avoid that peculiar subject "Oh don't be bashful!" Sunny playfully poked her arm "It's perfectly natural for two women to be intimate with each other! The way we feel each other and the way our bodies-" "Just stop, you're grossin' me out!" Geraldine laughed.
...
The smoothness of the white silk leg stocking takes on the shape of her leg. Sunny puts the finishing touches on her anime sailor girl outfit.
When Roberta said that they should play a game, she thought of board games or video games. But when she mentioned doing a dress up act for their night she was more willing to do it. Sunny was dressed as the disobedient school girl while Roberta was going to dress as the strict teacher. Sunny actually wanted Roberta to play the mean principal but Roberta insisted mostly because she had a thing for teachers.
Sunny put on her red high tops and ties them as fast as she could "Sunny?" the love of her life called out her name "Are you ready?" "Give me a second, just tying my shoes" she ties the lace and adjust the red scarf around her neck. Sunny finally comes out of their closet.
"I'm ready!" she excitedly says, she gets a look at Roberta. She wore a grey Chanel jacket with matching pants, underneath was a white blouse covered by a dark grey vest. She wore a pair of thick glasses without the lenses. She looked more like a professor at a college or at some high end university. "You look so cute in that outfit" she complimented on Sunny's attire which made her slightly blush "Thanks...you look really great too" Sunny returned with a compliment of her own "So, how will this go down?" she asked "Well, talk naughty and everything should pick up from there" Roberta says with a mischievous smile "I'll start". She slowly walked towards her would be student "Ms. Rhee, you have very poor grades, is their a reason for that?".
"I so sorry, Ms. Fuentes. I've been struggling to keep up with all this hard homework, it's so boring" Sunny put on slightly cheesy performance, Roberta had a seductive look on her face "Oh? Did you even try?" "It's so hard and so boring" Sunny frowned "Maybe I can help you, how about some...extra credit to motivate you?" Roberta was in front of her, her arms wrap around her waist and pulled her in close "Extra credit? Is it worth a lot?" Sunny smirked "Oh it is" Roberta sounded more seductively as they leaned in and gave each other a passionate kiss. Sunny wrapped her arms around Roberta's neck as kept kissing, they break off the kiss "You're such a naughty student" she chuckled "Well, I have an equally naughty teacher to thank for that" Sunny smiled as she unbuttoned the Chanel jacket and kisses her again. The jacket falls off.
Roberta's hand moves from the right side of Sunny's waist, the hand moves to her stomach then slowly towards her right breast. A slight squeeze and small moan interrupts their kiss. Sunny's hands move to Roberta's hips, she in return slowly walks her back towards the closet. They settle down on the carpet of the closet, their breathing increases. Roberta lifts her leg slightly up as they keep kissing. Her glasses soon fall off, they both giggle but don't seem to care. They were having their own version of fun. She unbuttons the vest and the blouse, Sunny undoes the shirt of her outfit. They're back to kissing. Her hands go back to her hips, the curves form in her hands.
As they kept kissing and got more and more intimate, Sunny remembered the name of an old game that back then she was too young to understand. Seven in minutes in heaven was the name. This was their version though they know they would need more than seven minutes. Her fingers run through that curly hair of her's. Roberta kissed her chest then slowly went to her stomach. Sunny gulped air, her breathing quickens. She closes her eyes. A bolt of energy shoots through her body.
"Roberta...!".
