enemy is! Pull all your
people off the street. Stop making collections and let them think
they’ve won and we’re laying low. Tell only the men you are
positive you can trust completely to stay at home and be ready when
you call them. And assure them we will be calling.
Joey was fuming and couldn't control himself
any longer. He stood and raised his voice “By god, it’s time to hit
those bastards like they’ve been hitting us, not go and hide like a
bunch of scared old women. I’ll hit them Friday and to hell with
you. You don’t know shit about this, you young punk. I’m through
taking orders from you”
Having heard the loud disturbance, Anna
walked into the room as Clay was rising from his chair; before he
could respond she pointed her finger at Joey, “Sit down and shut
your mouth. I told you Clay is in charge and he still is. You will
continue to do exactly what you are told; no more and no less. Clay
will do the planning, you will provide the muscle. I can get muscle
from a dozen people who can follow orders, so be careful your
insolence doesn’t turn into threats or disloyalty. The fact they
killed two of our people is terrible and we will reply. But it will
be how, when, and where Clay tells you.” Anna turned and left as
quickly as she had entered.
Joey sat with a scowl on his face, looking
down at the carpeting on the floor. He hadn’t expected Anna to
continue to back the kid, but thought she would cave in and put him
in charge when he pointed out they were still suffering loss’s and
he had even become a target.
Clay opened the desk drawer, picked up the
9mm pistol and walked over to where Joey was sitting. Placing the
gun against the back of Joey’s head he clicked the safety off and
said quietly, “If you ever talk down to me again, in front of
anyone or not, I’ll kill you on the spot.”
Placing his left hand on Joey’s shoulder, and
without moving the gun, he calmly continued, “You and I each have
roles in this; we compliment each other well in what we are capable
of. Be patient and you will soon get to do your part; or I’ll do it
without you, it’s your choice.”
Moving the gun away from Joey’s head he
clicked the safety back on, moved back to his chair and continued,
“Right now I need you to see how many people are watching the
hospital and where they are located. Again, get any descriptions:
car make, model, color, license plate numbers, or what ever there
is to identify these people. I need to know exactly where they are,
when they change shifts, what they eat, where they park, if they
fall asleep, everything, even if it seems unimportant. You'll
probably know some of these people, but we have to identify them
and learn who is at the top. Have the cameraman take pictures of
the people doing the watching if possible. There will be a time
very soon when everyone who joined this bunch will be dealt
with.”
“Now, tell me more about the attempt to hit
you? When and where did it happen?"
“Over on Second Street just past Burris, put
a slug through both front windows and just missed my nose.”
“You need to keep several men with you at all
times from now on. And, perhaps your wife and kids should stay away
from the house for the next couple of weeks until this is
over.”
Joey looked up at this young man he had
passed off as just an outsider, only hanging on to Tony’s family
because of his past friendship with Jimmy. There was something more
than just childhood friendship driving the respect and confidence
both Tony and Anna had for this guy. Joey decided he had better
keep his mouth shut and watch out for this one until he understood
better what he was dealing with. He knew he had just had a close
brush with death, and it was very sobering, even to him. The kid
had a calm stone cold look in his eyes. A look as cold as he had
ever seen; and he had met some cold blooded killers over the
years.
When Joey had left, Clay thought about what
he had said to him in response
