Agent Smith

Last time on Death to the Mafia...

I killed the head of the Irish-Italian group to send a message to them to close up shop and get out of Uncle Paul's turf. I killed him and a woman that was with him. Killed the guards, took the CCTV hard drives, set the place on fire, and got rid of the car. I get a lift back into town and call Tony to come and pick me up. He takes me back to the bar where everyone is still enjoying casino night. I go to the bar, get myself a drink. Uncle Paul notices me standing there finishing my drink. He runs up to me, gives me a kiss on the cheek, and asks;

"Is it done?"

I lean in to whisper in his ear to answer him;

"The message...was delivered loud and clear"

Uncle Paul looks concerned and asks;

"Any witnesses?"

I hand him the hard drives and say;

"These are the only two witnesses that know what was done tonight"

He looks at me and says;

"I knew you would be able to do what we need you to do"

He smiles while looking at me proudly...he turns his attention to everyone in the restaurant and says;

"To the best casino night ever"

Everyone cheers and everyone takes a drink. He looks at me again and says;

"I am proud of you kid"

Uncle Paul takes the hard drives and walks back to his table where Uncle Pete is still sitting and talking to some of the heads of the Family. Uncle Paul puts the hard drives on the table. Uncle Pete looks at them, nods to his security to take them. They walk over, take the hard drives from the table. I try to gamble and keep my eyes on what they are doing to the evidence that I have now given over to them. Tony bumps my arms and asks;

"Hey...are you still in the game or what?"

I quickly answer and say;

"Of course I am still in...you guys are a bunch of losers...and I am making money"

We all just laugh and having fun. Then all of a sudden, the doors of the restaurant flies open. A bunch of cops burst through the doors guns drawn. We all stop what we are doing and pull out our guns and point to them. It is a standoff. Uncle Paul stands up and says;

"What can we do for our men in blue tonight?"

A well-dressed guy in a suit walks through the doors and starts talking;

"Well...what do we have here? I see that we have the entire list of who is who here tonight. So, I thought we needed to come and say hello"

Uncle Paul says;

"You have said your hello...no you can leave"

The well-dressed guys say;

"Not until I have introduced myself to everyone here...my name is Special Agent Smith with the F.B.I. I am the lead agent for a special crime task force that was put in charge to...how do you say it...overlook what is happening around town...if you know what I mean"

I keep on thinking that this can not be a coincidence that they are here and what I did tonight for Uncle Paul...its got to be linked somehow. And the evidence is right there of what I did. I decide to speak up;

"So, tell me Mr. Special Agent with the F.B.I. Now that you have interrupted a nice evening...please show us your warrant for bursting through those fucking doors"

He looks over at me and says;

"Uncle Paul...you really need to have a talk with this one...he likes to talk out of turn...a real smart ass"

I take offense and say;

"Fuck you, you are not fucking welcome here. No laws are being broken...if we were breaking the laws, we all would be in handcuffs by now. So piss off you piece of shit and go and do your job and find some crime somewhere else...I think someone might be jaywalking across the street...go and harass them"

He walks over to me while keeping his eye locked on me. As he gets closer he says;

"You know what...you really need to learn some manners"

He hits me in the stomach and leaves me gasping for air as I fall to the ground. With everyone's gun still drawn on each other Uncle Paul says;

"Now that you have proven to us how tough you are for hitting a kid...tell us what you want and then get the fuck out of here"

He smiles and says;

"Normally I would not introduce myself to your kind. I would say in the background working on getting what I need and slowly arrest those that I can to keep getting closer until I can get to the big fish. But as it turned out, tonight a key witness in my case was killed. Brutally murdered in his home. He was a witness that we just found out about and that he was willing to talk about some of you in this very room. He would have been placed into protective custody, but now he is burnt to a crisp with holes in his arms and head. Tell me, do not know anything about what happened to him perhaps?"

Uncle Paul says;

"You know what...sometimes...life just happens in the strangest ways. Now get the fuck out of my club, your kind is not welcome here"

Agent Smith looks around the restaurant at everyone and says;

"Okay...I get it...I am not welcome here. I will leave you with this thought, we will see each other again"

I stand up and say;

"You can fucking count on that piece of shit"

Looking again at me, he smiles while shaking his head and says;

"The youth of today...it astounds me just how disrespectful they really are"

Looking at everyone not flinching he says;

"Let's go"

The police exit the restaurant and everyone starts lowering their guns and slowly starts talking again. Tony grabs me and says;

"Are you okay bud?"

"Yeah...I am okay"

Uncle Paul says;

"Close those doors, let us not let them ruin our night. Party on everyone"

I look at Uncle Paul, he notions to me with his eyes to come to him. I walk up to his table and sit down. He asks;

"You are sure that there were no witnesses?"

"Yes sir"

"Tell me what you did after you took him, I want to know everything"

I start telling Uncle Paul what I did and how I took measures not to get caught in the area or with the stolen car. Told him how I wiped off my prints from the stolen car and only got a lift from Tony as I got back into town.

Uncle Paul says;

"So, no one saw you do it. Now one is left alive. You got rid of the car after you wiped your prints from it. The car is now at the bottom of a lake. You got a lift from a stranger on the back of his truck. Tony only drove to the edge of town...is that what you are telling me?"

"Yes, sir Uncle Paul. And you have the hard drives with the only evidence showing how they were killed"

Uncle Pete gives a nod to Uncle Paul. Uncle Paul looks at me and say;

"That was good work. It seems that we have poked the bear in this one, you should lay low for a while...just until things calm down again"
