----------------
Everything started moving slowly. In my head, I hadn't processed what had just happened. I took a deep breath and started thinking about what was going on.
Lenny is fucking with me. He had a chance to have his guys kill me when I was back at my apartment, but he didn't. He has to be messing with me.
There is a mafia car parked outside my dad's house. They just shot him several times and I'm here on the porch crying. Why am I still here? Staying would be pointless. I'd be putting my own life, as well as Amanda's life, on the line.
I knew the odds were against me. I knew I shouldn't even walk through that front door. But fuck it. I have a vendetta against Lenny now. He is responsible for killing my father. I'm going to get to him, starting with whomever pulled that trigger.
I reached into my jacket and pulled out the heavy 357 that Lenny had given me before the delivery. I slowly creaked the front door open and stepped inside, taking a look around.
The living room was empty. The TV was on. My heart thumping was the only thing I could hear. I placed my back against the wall before slowly glaring into the hallway. I saw a set of legs sprawled out in a doorway. They were dressed in slacks.
Wait.
Those aren't my dad's legs. You'd never catch him in a pair of slacks in a million years. While I was trying to add up what was going on, a familiar voice echoed through the hallway where the body was.
"Who else is out there? I'll kill you if you come back here, I swear!"
The shakiness in the voice was obvious. The familiarity sent a chill through my spine as I shouted.
"DAD! It's me! It's Justin!"
His head peaked from behind the doorway. "Son! Is it clear?"
"I... I think so".
He held his shotgun out in front of him as he made his way toward me.
Apparently, Lenny had sent someone to take my dad out-- but his guy failed to do so. His dead body was evidence of that.
"After you called me and told me to leave, I heard my front door crash open. I knew something was wrong, so I grabbed the shotgun. When this guy kicked open the room to my door, I shot him over and over. What the hell is going on, son? Why does someone want me dead? What did you do?"
He looked at me with concern in his eyes.
"I.... can't... explain right now. We have to get out of here, though."
I ran out to my car, gun in hand as my dad followed behind me.
"What do I do with this??", he screamed.
I looked behind me to see him standing there with the shotgun.
"Uh... just carry it in the backseat with you."
I jumped in the driver's seat as Amanda looked at me, then my dad with a look of shock on her face. It was obvious that she was still shaken from the previous gun shots that echoed throughout the entire small neighborhood.
"He's alive!", I screamed in an elated voice.
My dad slammed the passenger door shut as I hit the gas and headed toward the first highway exit I could find.
"Wait... wait... we can't leave!", my dad said in a concerned voice. "I just shot and killed a man! The neighbors probably called the police! I'll go to jail, Justin! We have to go back and explain this!"
"What do you value more? Freedom or your life?"
He sat back, not saying a word.
A familiar ring came from inside my pocket. Oh my God. I can't believe I'm still carrying this damned phone. I can't answer it.
But I did anyway.
"H...hello?"
"Hey kid, it's Lenny."
He seemed calm.
"Lenny... I..."
"Listen to me, kid. I don't know what your deal is. You knew when you shook my hand that you were in this for life. I fuckin' told you that you'd have to do some things that you didn't want to do, some things that you'd love to do. You're new, so I'll let you pass with a few mistakes. No problem, kid.
You didn't wanna kill your pops. I did it for you. That gets that problem out of the way, now onto my next problem."
"What's that, Lenny?"
"You. You can't remove yourself from my family. The only way out of this family is in a box. Now, I'm a nice guy, so I'm going to give you a chance to reconcile."
"Lenny... You know what...."
"Don't interrupt me. I'm going to set aside all the things you did to me to screw me over and make you an offer I usually don't make. I'm going to let you back in-- no strings attached. Whaddya say?"
My heart was thumping. "I don't want back in."
"You leave me a tough decision to make, kid. I didn't kill you when I had the chance because I figured you'd make the right decision. I was wrong about you. You're going to end up just like your father."
"My father's....", I stopped myself from finishing that sentence, because Lenny doesn't know that my dad is with me.
"Dead. And you will be too as soon as I can find you."
He hung up.
I stepped on the gas, the rage inside of me building up. I'm one step ahead of Lenny, he thinks my dad's dead.
He thinks I'm fleeing from him. He thinks I'm scared of him. He thinks.
I slammed on the brakes and pulled into the median, making a u-turn and heading back to my town.
"What are you doing, Justin?!"
"I know what I'm not doing. I'm not running. I'm not going to take this anymore. I'm going to end this once and for all. I just want things to go back to normal."
At that moment, a gun clicked next to my head.
"We're not going anywhere", Amanda said as she held the gun to my temple.
To be continued.

Your giant email is making the sidebar too wide.
Amend immediately or suffer the possibility of receiving anything other than a +2 from me.

YEY, I've been waiting for this!
But... what mafia top dog lordy motha fucka gonna go and say something like: "WHEN I find you"...? That would never be said, it is not intimidating enough. This would cause someone to think that they are in the lead. They want it to seem like they have the upper hand at all times and that is why they are who they are.
This is my opinion though... but I bet many people would agree too. Say, "FatTony" would agree.
