Chapter 21: Various Players at work

Motto: A gangster always has a few tricks up his sleeve. It is how the say ahead.

I got up and we went to go get Earl to disappear. I then got Earl and then we brought him down to the garage. Then moments later my four armored vehicle and 4 Saga Security vehicles pulled out of the garage. A car then followed closely behind them.

Harris then texted me, "They took the bait."

Garth pulled the side door and we walked out with Earl.

He then said, "I see you are getting creative Nicky."

Newell and my boys pulled up with a GMC Bus. We got in and then they drove off. The motorcade pulled onto a back road and stopped at a stop light. As the men stopped and got their AK-47 two men went up to the Windows.

Then Detective Simmons said, "I would tell you not to move because I will kill you. But you already know that. So get out with your arms on your head."

They got out as they arrested them we drove past.

I then said, "Looks like Franco's men are good at planning but bad at execution."

Earl exhaled angrily and Newell laughed. With those three hours later we pulled into my Negril Mansion, 4 miles from Chestnut. It was secretly owned by me and had a 100 foot perimeter electrified fence. I also had a lot of CCTV cameras all around.

As we stopped and got out Newell exhaled and said, "This place is out of the world."

"Yep! It belongs to Nick," replied Joseph as he walked to us.

Newell then raised his gun on him and Harris put a gun to his head.

Harris then said, "Let's not do anything stupid."

"Nicholas, explain what is going on!" Newell yelled and Joseph said, "By your reaction I will assumed that you now know the prosecutor is working for the Zeros."

"You knew," asked Newell as he cranked his gun.

Joseph then said, "I suspected."

Newell pulled the trigger and the gun didn't fire. I showed him the firing pin. And he lowered his gun. Then Jackson and Garth took Earl inside the house. Cristina came outside in here short jumper and sandals.

Newell whistled and I said, "She is mine."

I exhaled and we went to the living room. Joseph then took the sheets off the white boards. We saw various pictures of Prosecutor Sheila Summer and one with Franco De Marco.

Newell then asked, "Why am I here?"

Joseph exhaled and said, "OK. Anita McPherson involved the DEA into her situation. She was a confidential informant and then..."

"I whacked her! Informants and sluts got to go," replied Earl as he ate his dinner and I said, "If you accidentally get a Blackeye or OD no one will miss you."

He swallowed and Newell said, "Good family bonding."

Cristina chuckled and I said, "Carry on Joseph."

"OK. The DEA, FBI and Interpol ran a joint investigation against Earl and his partners. Now she got killed ¾ ways in the investigation. Now Earl is a Jamaican citizen first and his American Citizenship was given based upon his marriage to Anita.

Now, basically if Earl wins this case as long as he stays here. The US Government can't touch him," replied Joseph and Earl chuckled.

I looked at him and he coughed.

Newell then said, "So basically Sheila throws the case and Earl is untouchable. That I get but why would she do it?"

We all looked at Earl and I went to him.

As I looked at he said, "OK. Sheila Summer is Franco De Marco's daughter."

"Her father, Kevin Summer, lives in Australia. He is a security consultant," I replied to him.

Earl nodded and asked, "Did you or Joseph ever meet him?"

I exhaled and he said, "Now you know why you haven't been able to find him since Rebecca, Andrew and Anna checked out of..."

I grabbed him and as I choked him out I said, "You murderer!"

Joseph pulled me off him and Earl coughed.

I hurled expletives at him and Earl said, "Nicholas, Rebecca was 30 years."

"You took her from me," I quickly told him as Joseph and Newell held me.

Garth then looked at me and said, "Nicholas let it go. We can't kill him. Let it go."

I exhaled and Joseph and Newell let me go.

Earl then said, "You would think after 34 years you would give up revenge for wife."

"I am sorry wife? Nicholas you were married," asked Joseph as he looked at me.

Earl then said, "Nicholas you didn't tell them about your family. Or why you hate me."

I then said, "I am done Joseph. I don't care if he wins. But tomorrow I will kill him myself. So get ready."

I then went outside and screamed. I then had a flash of my last memory of Rebecca, Andrew and Annmarie. We were at the park. As our kids played I made out with Rebecca.

She stopped and I said, "Yow! I love you."

She the chuckled and said, "You tell me that every day. And..."

My beeper then beeped and I said, "I have to get it. It's my business partner."

Ann then came and said, "Mommy! Let's go get ice cream."

I called the office and as we talked I bought the ice cream.

She held it and as I talked she said, "I am going to the car."

She held Andrews right arm and he held Ann's arm. Jerry, my bodyguard, stood beside me and I closed the deal. I screamed as I got the investment deal.

Jerry then asked, "Did you get it?"

"Yep! I am golden," I replied as I turned around.

A mustang pulled and they pushed out Mac-10's. I quickly grabbed my gun and they fired on threw. I ran and shot at them. But they gunned down my family. They dropped and I fired on the car. It crashed into a light post. I rushed to it and Jerry called for an ambulance.

I checked and the guys were all dead. I checked the drivers pocket and found the BlackBerry Z10. I called the last number as I walked back to Jerry.

Franco answered asking, "Is it done?"

I recognized the voice and asked, "Franco?"

He exhaled and said, "Hello Nicholas."

"They missed," I quickly told him.

He then said, "I am sorry but I was following orders."

I looked at Jerry he shocked his head to tell me my family was dead.

I then exhaled and said, "My family is dead. I have nothing to lose. So I am coming for you and everyone you love will die."

I then dropped the phone and put on my sunglasses. Then I took off Rebecca's necklace and walked away. The police then came and I went. Three days later my lawyer had her buried at the Creedmoor Cemetery.

I watched the burial, via his micro camera as the cops were present and looking for me. My mother over saw the funeral and paid for it. As I came back to as Cristina started rubbing my back.

"I didn't cheat on you. Earl killed her 11 years before I met you. My days in MI-5/BSAS seal the case and left me alone," I quickly told her.

She exhaled and said, "So this is why you feared marriage."

"Look I have loves you since the day I rescued you. You made me feel again. But in my life, the ones you love get killed. I have buried 500 friends between that day and the day I met you. In the last 22 years I lost many more.

And I am not burying you or Jasmine. So get as far away from me as possible. I will send you millions to start over," I told her with tears in my eyes.

Cristina chuckled and said, "That's why I love you. You think of everyone but yourself. I have been by your side through worst. We survived the Caracas Cartels. Back then Jasmine was a baby and we had to stay in a shitty motel.

But we survived. And now we will deal with this together. Besides I didn't wait 21 years for you to knock me up and run away. I am going down that Aisle and riding you at nights. So the sooner we end this we win."

I smiled and asked, "Where is Jasmine?"

"She is at Sherman's house," Cristina replied and my phone vibrated.

As I look at it I saw it was Jasmine's phone I answered it saying, "Hey honey!"

"Wrong person. But she is safe," replied Franco as he walked away from Jasmine strapped to a chair.

I exhaled, put the phone on speaker and asked, "What do you want Franco?"

He smiled and said, "Be a good solider. Now I want Earl. In four hours you will bring him to the Montego Bay Cruise ship terminal. And come with your fiancée. You tend to behave yourself when your beloved is around. Bring anyone else and she dies."

I hang up and texted Michael: Get her.

He then got out of his car with a few of his guys and headed towards Sheila's mansion.
