crazy.
I caught
both her hands in mine, pulling her face close to me.
"Listen you, I've had enough shit out of you, when
we get home I'm gonna wail your little ass. After I got through being scared
out of my fucking mind and having my men search the whole damn city looking for
you, I finally clicked into the fact that you'd gone after Stacco. Following a
hunch I called up your little cohorts and my sisters felt guilty enough to let
me in on your little trick, control me with fucking tears will you? All so you
can get your own way and put your ass in danger, payback's a bitch isn't
it?"
"You....you
did that on purpose...you...you.....arggghhhhh."
I laughed which only pissed her off more.
"Calm
your little ass down you're in enough trouble as it is don't make it worse on
yourself." She got real quiet, I'm not sure I trusted that either crazy
lady was kinda unpredictable.
I put her back in
her seat and continued home. My guys should be finished with clean up back at
Stacco's hideout. Tommy's sneaky ass was lucky he'd given up what she'd been up
to. Apparently while she was supposed to be in school she'd been out following
Stacco and his detail around. She'd known his whereabouts this whole time, or
at least for the last couple weeks. Smart fuck.
I pulled into the garage where Mikey and Tony were waiting, the
others must've gone to tie up loose ends, they knew what to do so none of this
blew back on us, I didn't want Stacco's body found too soon after his father
bought it, the fucking Feds will probably think they had another gangland war
on their hands and be all in my business, I didn't have time for that shit. I
had one dirty cop to deal with and then I was taking it easy for a while.
"Hey champ how's it
going?" The two asses high fived her as we left the car.
"You okay there lil brother?"
"What the fuck are you talking about now yenta?"
"We were behind you when you pulled over; we thought
you might need us but uh...." The fuckers started laughing. I guess they'd
seen Mouth beating the shit out of me in the car.
"Everything taken care of?"
"Yep, by the way Ari, that was cold."
"How'd she do him?"
"Bow
and arrow. One right through the neck pinned the fucker to the bed. We let the
female live she didn't see anything and she's pretty much catatonic, we'll keep
her on ice for a few days just to be on the safe side but I don't think she'll
be repeating this story anytime soon. The guards were neutralized, place was
cleaned, he's in and out."
"Good, you two coming
up or you heading home, I'm for bed it’s late."
"Nah we'll catch you tomorrow, I'm sure the girls are
waiting to hear what happened."
"Yeah about that, could you two try to control your
wives? What would've happened if she'd been hurt?"
"But she wasn't and you can't really blame the girls
you know your woman is.....different....."
"Hey I'm right here....."
"Sorry Ari, no disrespect, don't pull out the gun or
whatever weapon you're packing." Mikey was a real comedian.
"Get the hell outta here."
"What about Taylor?"
"Let the fucker sweat it out some more."
"Tomorrow
then." They headed for their car as I led Mouth to the elevator.
I took her upstairs
and looked her over to make sure there was nothing wrong with her, I know she'd
never killed anyone before, I also knew how the first time felt.
"How do you feel?"
"I think I got the shakes."
I poured her a cognac and made her down it before running
her a bath and taking care of her.
I put her to bed and held her as she calmed down from her
adrenaline rush.
Just
before she fell asleep I whispered in her ear.
"Tomorrow
I'll deal with your stubborn ass, you do this shit again we're gonna have
problems, I understand why you felt you had to do this yourself, but you don't
do shit like this, I told you this already but you don't hear so good so
tomorrow we'll go over it again."
