The Boogie Man: A Mafia tale

Devil and his Hounds

Nate

My mother always called me the Dark Knight, everyone thought she meant like off the Batman movies, stupid Americans. No, see she loves chess and always told me that even as a boy my moves were always thought out and meticulous as a chess piece.  But until I get me a Queen, I will always be vulnerable, and I will never switch to the white side to gain the advantage.  I will remain the Dark Knight.  I ponder over my mother's words while I'm sitting outside of Logan's MC warehouse.  See let me fill you in.

I got a call from my bookie, Randy, over at Ace's telling me to come over because he had urgent news in regards to Elizabeth that could not be discussed over the phone. I believed the wanker and was outside the club until Mollie called me.  Mollie is Randy’s bartender, she’s smart ambitious, her family bloodline is from the syndicate, but no one knows. She is no rat, but she knows if the window opens to kick that motherfucker in for the opportunity especially if it endangers her kinfolk.

Then

“Hey boss, are you here yet?.” Mollie whispers in the handset.

“Yea just pulled up what's wrong.”

“Do not come in boss. It is a set up, just overheard them talking about ambushing you here and Logan and his crew will take down De' at the air strip.”

This is why I am here two hours early. The bloke was too enthusiastic  and forthcoming with trying to give me the information; just did not settle right.  So I texted and told Mollie what was going on and what time I was coming.

“Why?” I am pissed so my voice is stern and clipped.

“Money of course.  Randy and Logan does not want to pay the pipers anymore. And Randy is indebted to this rich prick Kendrick that comes in. I overheard their conversation.”

I graze my tongue over my teeth, letting the venom boil in my blood at this news.

“I do not want to kill your men, can you get me in without that many casualties? The outfit is yours when I am done.”

I swear I can hear her smiling.

“There are only maybe five that are truly pledged to him, do you think you can handle that?”

I smile, “Show me the yellow brick road baby.”

I go in my trunk and suit up, this is the best part of my life; this is what I do best.  She texted me directions to go to the back door in the alley. She told me any men I see are free game.

It led me down a long hall where I found two little piggies with their backs to me.

I quickly sliced the first ones throat, charged the second and stopped him from drawing his weapon with one hand driving my blade in quick succession into his arms, and finally his heart. I cover his mouth, and look into his eyes to watch his final defeat. His friend’s body behind me is still twitching; three. I remove my pistol, take a deep breath and run through the picture in my head that Millie sent me. The placement of the men are not guaranteed, but my aim is always.  I knock twice and place my silencer over the peep hole, as soon as I see the shadow; game!

After killing the last of his guards Randy cried like a little b***h for me to spare his life, so I did. I needed him to set up Logan.

 Now

 We are outside of Logan’s warehouse waiting for De' to arrive so Logan can “Kill him" since Randy has already killed me. I grin to myself at that. We cannot find Kendrick, f*****g cunt, but I will get him sooner than later.

I watch Randy pace back and forth, I am surprised he has not given us up yet, but I notice Logan watching him. Logan is no i***t but this was my plan, my brother is a f*****g psycho. He will gladly place his head in the lion’s mouth to personally snatch out it’s teeth.

I hear the whistle and I know it is time, moments later De' propels through the glass ceiling with our men guns blazing  I kick in the back door and take out the first three men; two with a head shot and one straight to the chest.  The scene is a symphony of bloody chaos and I am in heaven.

 I look over and De' has opted for hand to hand combat. He is slicing through a crowd of men with a joker smile on his face. My father saw murder in his eyes at the age of fourteen when he killed a man in front of him in our dorm room to see if De' could be trusted. He said he could see De' eyes dance, what the hell ever that meant. I wish some of that could of seeped over into his sister.  I can protect her innocence, but I need a Queen not a pawn. I need someone to stand next to me when the fighting starts, not behind me. I can take her as she is, I just do not want her hurt; my world would eat her alive. I cannot have someone to weaken me.

At that moment as I am daydreaming someone decides to ram me from the side; see point proven. I know that was not her fault, but that tight ass takes me off my game. After flipping the prick over my shoulder and putting a bullet between his eyes I survey the scene and my men has the warehouse basically taken. I ordered to keep Logan and Randy alive. De’ has Logan on the ground with gun to his head, a foot on his neck, and a blade stuck in his shoulder, well barely alive counts. Mason is dragging Randy over by his shirt screaming, why he is yelling I have no idea because I do not see one mark on him.

“Okay fellas, you both have gone through a lot to get our attention so here we are I mean it was half-arsed but we are here none the less.”

The men do not say a word, so De’ leans over pulls Logan up by is throat and wiggles the blade. “We have a plane to f*****g catch, so can you make this quick, you have already wasted our time. Barely even put up a damn fight.” The fight was a little too easy.

Logan sneers in pain, “Sorry to disappoint you fellas, I was not expecting you fellas honestly. I thought you would be heading over to save the woman and children honestly.” He says with a menacing chuckle.

I lean over and grab his throat, “Stop beating around the bush and speak straight before you piss me off.” I hold him until he almost turns blue, when I let him go, he is gasping for air and coughing.

“Boss I checked his phone and we have to go now.” I skim through the messages with him and Kendrick, and when Logan realized he was set up he warned Kendrick to not go to the club. Kendrick told him that a guy named Wallace is already in progress of killing Elizabeth and now Kendrick has the twins and headed to the house to do the same. My f*****g heart has died, but I cannot allow myself to wallow in it for my love right now, I have to save my bloodline.

“Pack it up, we have to go! De’ I will fill you in on the way to the house.” Mason pull his pants down, Logan’s smile drops and starts to fight, I pull out my blade. “Hold his hands and legs.” I walk over, I grab his d**k and his balls, and I enjoy his screams. I hear Randy vomit to the side of me, after I have his manhood in his hands, “Call the doc, and make sure he f*****g lives and then throw him in the f*****g cell.” He will probably bleed out before that happens because I did not plan this. At this point the Devil is out and I. Do. Not. Give. A f**k. Hell has been unleashed.

I look at Randy, “You will be punished, the severity will depend on my children’s fate.” De’ looks at me with sheer horror in his eyes.

“Where is Elizabeth?” I think I tear up, and I shake my head. He roars in pain and he storms out the door and I am behind him. The Devil and his hell hounds have been unleashed; we are coming babies.
