Chapter 8

James spoke to Carlo: “It was my father’s last wish to make peace with the Barzinis. We both lost people we love in this war. You lost your nephews. And I even lost my finger.” James showed him his fist.

James continued: “We do not have to love each other but we must be able to trust each other. All I ask from you is that you stop blood vengeance from your side. That includes Nicol and Mia. Those two girls treated me better than I deserved after I broke into their home.”

Carlo continued: “I am forced to agree with you. I just want my daughter to be safe. I also want peace. But I must warn you. There are some Barzinis that want this pointless war to continue.”

James replied: “There are such people on my side as well. One of our hitmen Richard will try to kill me and maybe even you. But I hope that the police will get him before that.”

Carlo spoke: “Who would have thought that one day leaders of the Barzini and the Sollozo clan would become rats. But times are changing I guess. Days, when gangsters killed each other in the streets every day are slowly passing. These days criminals do not rob banks. They run them.”

James spoke: “Well said. That is what people like Richard do not get. Days, when you could solve everything with violence and not get caught are passing away. That is why I look forward to peace between our families. May it last forever.” Carlo replied: “May it last forever”, as he shook James’ hand.

With only three seconds on the clock, Nicol knew she had to react fast. She was one point down. She screamed and quickly kicked the French champion to the side of the head with her foot. The Referee spoke: “Three points for Nicol.” And the match was finished. Her opponent was sad because Nicol managed to change the score in the last few seconds with a well-placed kick. But they both bowed down respectfully and congratulated each other.

After Nicol won the match, she went to the back room. She was still sweaty and in uniform when she saw Mia approaching her. Mia kissed her gently on the lips and then she spoke: “You did great. But I have a feeling you could have won much more easily.”

Nicol replied: “You are right. I was holding back the full strength of my kicks. I have already told you that once I almost killed a girl with my kick when I was younger. My trainer told me back then that I have extraordinarily strong kicks. He told me I should never lose my temper and kick people with full force. Especially if I kicked them in the head with my feet.”

Mia spoke again: “You are a good person Nicol. And you are also very sexy.” Mia started to undress Nicol. Soon she started to lick her pussy. In a minute Nicol was screaming from arousal.

After she was finished she looked at Mia and spoke: “Now it is my turn to make you happy.” The girls continued to have sex on the mat on the floor. While this was happening James and Carl opened a bottle of whiskey. They decided to celebrate the fact that their children will for the first time get to grow up in a world where their families do not hate each other.

Nicol and Mia returned to the tournament. They watched the fight take place in the ring. Ming was fighting the Belgian champion. Unlike Nicol Ming was not scared of hurting her opponents. She was still young and she wanted to prove to the world how good she was. Ming started to throw a barrage of kicks at her opponent. She was trying to kick the Belgian girl in the face with her right foot. But her opponent successfully protected her head. After kicking her opponent’s arms ten times with her foot in just four seconds Ming needed a short break. Now the Belgian girl launched a counterattack.
