Chapter 15 by grimbous grimbous

Do you insist on bringing Natali?

Nope. You're the boss here.

The more you think about it the more you realize you were on your own. A mob boss suddenly bringing his wife along on "family" business? Not only would it be completely out of character it would make you look weak, and that's the last thing you could be seen as right now. You ready yourself. 'Think like Vincent, stay in the driver's seat, stay calm.'

"Okay boys, lets roll."

They nod and the four of you head out the door. A plain black BMW is parked out front. You all file into it, you and Louis in the back with your men up front. The driver takes you out of the estate on onto a nearby freeway. It looked like you were leaving the city.

"We're headed out of town?" You ask.

"Yeah, we baited her up to the barn. That's where nabbed her." Louis responds.

"Ohhh...the barn." You say, acting like you knew what that meant.

After ten or fifteen minutes of uncomfortable silence Louis' phone rings. He answers it then turns to you, "It's for you boss."

Confused you take it. "Hello?"

You hear Natali's whispered voice. "What the fuck are you doing? Are you crazy?"

"Yeah, something came up. We'll talk later." You say, trying to keep it as casual as possible.

There is silence on the other end of the line. You sense she is thinking, calculating. You start to worry she might pull the plug on this whole thing right now. "Fuck! Okay...good luck..."

"Love you too dear." And you hang up the phone. Looking at the others you simply say, "Women."

They all nod knowingly. Louis takes his phone back. "Ya know boss, I don't think your woman likes me very much."

You didn't like where this was going. "I think you're right Louis and I think we're done talking about it."

"Okay...okay...just sayin." He says defensively.

The rest of the ride is quiet as you drive out onto smaller and smaller roads. Heading back through some hills and valleys until you finally see a lone farmstead in the distance. A plain old white house, a big red barn, several outbuildings, a forested area around it, some fences and animal pens. You'd have never guessed that this bucolic property was owned by the mob.

As you pull in you see a kindly old couple sitting on the porch of the house and a few farmhands working around the yard. As you exit the car the couple waves at you and in an everyday friendly tone say, "Nice to see you again Mr. Calabrese."

You wave back to them. Looking around you realize that something had happened here recently. There were bullet holes in the side of the barn, skidding tire tracks in the gravel driveway, a burn mark on the ground, and an expensive looking motorbike embedded into a chicken coop still smoldering. The "farmhands" were busy cleaning it all up. You see a few of your goons emerge from the house, one with a tightly bandaged arm.

"Don't worry boss, we didn't lose no one...though it was close. We had the drop on her." Louis says as he starts toward the barn. "We've got her in here." You follow him. "I know I don't have to tell you about Soo-yin boss, but just remember she's one of the best. We've got her bound up but I still wouldn't get too close."

"Yeah, yeah." You say with exagerated machismo, though inside you were terrified. You just kept swimming deeper and deeper into this thing.

You enter the barn to see...

Is Soo-yin still there?

More fun
