Chapter 6

Richard was sitting in a dark room while smoking a cigar. Tony, Mike and Lazar were sitting next to him. He said, “You are among my last loyal killers. James has Sollozo blood in his veins. That is an advantage for him definitely. And that bitch sure did help him a lot. You are the only ones that know I killed my boss except for me. Now you have to kill James Sollozo. Make it look like the Barzinis did it.”

Richard continued to smoke. He looked at the city lights in the distance. With psychotic anger he stared at the city full of crime and corruption as first lights began to appear in the east.

Mia was practising karate in the house when her smartphone rang. “Hello Nicol, how did you get on?” She asked.

“James knocked out Richard for killing his father. Most of the Sollozo gang members stilI think James should be their leader. There is a split and Richard has some bad men who work for him. I am in a difficult position. Richard wants our blood so he will send his remaining men to kill us at the hotel. Can you contact Sergeant Halka and get her to meet me there. Then I want you to come and collect James before it all kicks off.” Nicol replied.

“OK I will go and speak to the policemen outside.” Confirmed Mia.

Sergeant Halka was on foot patrolling the streets when the call came through from the officers outside Nicol’s house. Mia told her the situation and she swore under her breath. She wanted these scumbags dead without being involved directly. Nicol must have a good reason for asking for her help. She set off running towards the hotel. Mia arrived first and ran up the stairs 2 at a time. When she got there James and Nicol were shouting at each other.

“You can’t stay here. You will get in my way.” Stormed Nicol, “The fewer people that are involved in this the better. You are not fit to fight anymore. You got your revenge on Richard but he has hurt you. Go back with Mia and she will look after you.”

Nicol looked at Mia for support. Mia smiled at James and all the anger left him. “I will be your nurse and look after you and you can tell me what to do for a change.” She put her arm around James’s shoulder and lead him to her car.

As Mia’s car left Sergeant Halka arrived. Nicol told her about the confrontation with Richard. “So you think James would give himself up and turn evidence in return for immunity?” Sergeant Halka asked.

“Not only that,” Replied Nicol. “I think he could also persuade Will and most of the other Sollozzo gang members to plead guilty to their crimes and go to prison. Will likes him and the others are loyal.”

Sergeant Halka nodded. “ What about the assassins that are coming here?” She asked.

“I thought we could kill them together.” Said Nicol. “I would like to see a top Agency operative in action. You can tell the truth that I asked you here to tell you that James was willing to give himself up, and that is when they arrived. It would be self defence.”

Tony, Mike and Lazar arrived at the local flower shop. They knew that the Barzini’s always left a red rose on their victims bodies, so they bought 2 in order to frame the rival family for the killing of James Sollozzo and his dangerous girlfriend. They had taken extra precautions. Tony had a knife, Mike carried a baseball bat and Lazar had a machete. They were going to beat their brains as revenge for what they did to Richard.

They got in the lift and as the doors opened Sergeant Halka and Nicol were standing in front of them. Nicol trained her kicks on Mike breaking his face with her soles. He slid down the wall dead, his face completely smashed and mangled.

Sergeant Halka grabbed Mike’s knife hand and brought her knee up to his elbow, breaking his arm. He screamed in agony and fell to his knees as the uniformed policewoman stuffed his head between her black pantyhose thighs. They made a swishing sound as she moved. She concentrated hard squeezing with all her strength cracking his skull like a watermelon as she bit her lip with excitement. She opened her legs and he dropped to the floor in a bloody heap. Lazar did not have room or time to swing the machete. Both women grabbed an arm each and forced him back into the lift.
