Corktown, Detroit. It was 16:30 in the afternoon, Kenneth Russo was out in the streets with one task: To expand the Ligambi turf, there was a business in the north of the district where the owner was refusing to pay protection money. Kenny needed to convince the man by any means necessary. He contacted a friend of his, Jukera_Dale to accompany him in this job and give a helping hand if things go south, he trusted the man with all his heart, they know each other since they were teenagers. Jukera was still a novice in the mob, so this was also a test for Kenny to see if the man has what it takes inside him.

They parked the car in an alley near their destination, a butcher's shop. The owner, an old man, was refusing to pay protection money, they needed that business to have full control of the north of the district; it was the only weak spot in their defenses, so it was a must get the job done.

"Here, lad." Kenny says as he leaves the car, he throws the key in the direction of Jukera_Dale, who grabs it. "Open the trunk and get that baseball bat. And hide your gun, you only use it when I say, deal?" Jukera_Dale nodded then headed to the trunk, he opened it and grabbed the big baseball bat. Both men then headed towards the butcher shop, who was open, as they arrived, Kenny took a good look through the window, the old man was there with a woman, a client, for sure. Kenny said to Jukera to wait outside for his signal then entered the establishment.

As he opened the door, he heard the bell singing. He looked deeply in the eyes of the woman who was there buying. "Leave." Kenny said with a grim voice as the woman let out a little scream then run off through the door. Kenny walked towards the business owner who was behind the meat counter while taking a look around the place with a sarcastic smile on his face. When he approached the counter, he placed his hand on it, still smiling.

"Good place you have here, eh?" Kenny says, changing his face expression to a mean one. "Name's Kenneth Russo." He briefly stopped as the business owner shrugged. "By the last name, you should know why I am here." He started walking around, taking a good look in the establishment. It was pretty big place for a butcher, Kenny had a lot of ideas in what to do in there. "So.. Leading a business like this could be very dangerous, right? I could protect this place if you are able to pay a reasonable amount. And if you say no to me, I won't leave like the men I sent here before." He pointed at where Jukera was standing, outside, with the bat in hand.

"I already have protection! Do something and you will regret it!" The business owner said, nervously. As Kenny heard that, he grabbed the man by the collar of his shirt then dragged him around, he delivered him a punch on the face - a not so strong one, as the man was old. He forced him into a wall then signaled Jukera to get in and do wreak havoc in the place.

As Jukera saw the signal, he opened the door and entered the butcher shop, he was a bit nervous, he knew it was a test but he also knew that he could do the job. He walked slowly, with the baseball bat in hand, taking a look around to see what was worth breaking. He saw some flower vases, the counter was made of glass, what was a good thing to break, some chairs and of course the big window.

He looked at Kenny, who has holding the man against the wall. Kenny nodded and Jukera knew that was show time, he swings the bat around while walking towards the flower vases that he saw, he hits it with all his strength, the thing who was made of porcelain flew everywhere in a million pieces. Jukera looked at Kenny and the old man, who was nervously shaking, Kenny tilted his head in the direction of the counter and Jukera knew what to do, he walked slowly towards the counter as Kenny talked with the business owner, asking again if he would pay for protection, to Jukera's surprise, the business owner was still reluctant and said no.

Jukera got creative, he placed the baseball bat on the floor then grabbed a big wood chair and took a good look at it. It was strong, so he decided to throw that into the counter, that was sure to break the thing. He threw it with all his strength again, the place now had broken glass all over.

The business owner started talking, this time, he seemed confident, even petulant. Jukera felt in his gut that something bad was going to happen, and he was right. He listened the door bell sing then quickly turned back as he was tackled by a big man, he fell on the floor on his back where all the broken glass was lying, while the attacker was on top of him, delivering various punches to his face.

"HEY!" Kenny screamed as he saw the man tackling Jukera on the ground, he quickly punched the business owner on the face who fell in the ground unconscious, then ran to help Jukera_Dale. He looked through the window and saw two more men running towards the butcher shop. Kenny delivered a strong kick in the ribs of the man who was attacking Jukera, the man stopped the punches as Kenny grabbed him, gave him a powerful punch on the face then pushed him thought the big window, it shattered and the man collided with it, falling down on the outside of the shop, he seemed unconscious.

"You okay dude?" Kenny said as he helped Jukera up, the man had fall on the ground where all the broken glass was lying, so he had various cuts on his back, but that didn't seem to bother him as he grabbed the bat on got ready to fight the other two men. Kenny did the same, he went down and looked for a sharp piece of broken glass to defend himself, he quickly looked back to check on the business owner, who still was unconscious.

There was two men: a tall guy and a fat one. As they jumped in through the broken window, Kenny quickly charged at the biggest man just to meet his big first. The punch was so strong that nearly knocked Kenny's lights out, he dropped the piece of glass on the ground. Jukera got in to the fight, swinging his bat at the fat man head, who dodged it, but Jukera was quick and swung the bat again, hitting the fat man on the arm.

Kenny had made a terrible mistake by choosing to go after the big one, the man was a mountain. The guy tried to give Kenny a punch on the face, but Kenny was quick enough to dodge it and take action against him. Kenny delivered a strong kick on the man left knee, what made him loose his balance, he pushed the man against the wall then delivered him a punch on the face. Kenny had put all his strength in that swing, but it didn't seem to work, the man simply ignored the punch and pushed Kenny away from him, who made him fly into the ground, rolling all over the broken glass cutting the flesh of his back, chest and arms.

Kenny never felt that kind of pain in his whole life. He tried to get up, but the pain was so strong that he fell down on his knees. Kenny never was a good fighter, but he never lost a fight for one reason, his uncontrollable rage. Every time that he feels defeated in a fight, a frenzy of rage always kicks in and gives him the strength to fight back, and that happened. Kenny started shaking like crazy, he felt a huge pain on his chest not due to the cuts that was made; it was due to the rage, growing and growing inside of him. He let a tear go down from his eyes then quickly grabbed a very sharp piece of glass on the floor, cutting his hand deep, but he ignored that. Blinded with rage, he charged at the man, screaming, with the piece of broken glass in hand, as both men met, delivered his elbow to the guy's face, then stabbed him in the stomach with the piece of glass, he stabbed deep and as the man staggered in place, he let go of the piece of glass and punched it, driving it deeper inside the man's gut.

The man fell on the floor and Kenny mounted on top of him, delivering various punched to his face, nonstop, still blind with rage. Jukera, who was on the other side of the establishment, had finally defeated his opponent. He didn't killed him, just knocked him out. Jukera walked slowly in the direction of Kenny, who was still punching the man that was already dead. Jukera screamed Kenny's name and told him that it was over, but Kenny didn't stopped.

"Hey man, we need to get out of here!" Jukera said, as he tried to grab Kenny's arm. Kenny pushed Jukera away from him and briefly stopped punching the guy. He turned his look to Jukera, who knew what was coming. Kenny quickly got up, still blind with rage and grabbed Jukera by the neck, strangling him. He dragged Jukera to a wall and pushed him against a it with his elbow.

"Fuck you! It's Jukera, man! It's over!" Jukera screamed at him. Kenny still didn't stopped, his elbow on Jukera's neck only got stronger every second - Jukera had to do something, he knew Kenny and his outbreaks of rage, he was sure that his friend was going to kill him or at least send him to a hospital. Jukera took action against him by head butting him and pushing Kenny away from him.

"Get a hold of yourself, man! Look around, it's over." Kenny finally listened to Jukera this time, he stood in place, breathing heavily with a still violent posture. Jukera looked outside and saw a familiar car parking in the front of the butcher's shop, it was Narly.

Narly parked his car and left, he walked inside the butcher's shop and he knew what to do, he ran back to the car and opened the trunk as he tilted his head to the dead body, Jukera nodded then said to Kenny.

"Finish the job, mate." He pointed to the shop owner, who wasn't unconscious anymore. "I'll help Narly with this big boy."

"Aye." Kenny said, with a tired voice. "Sorry about that, lad."

He cleaned the blood from his face and walked towards the business owner, limping. "Seems you have no protection anymore, eh?" He said, looking at him. The man was in shock and just stared at Kenny with wide-open eyes. "I take it that now you will accept my offer? And you will accept any business that I decide to make on the second floor of the establishment?" The man quickly shook his head in a way that means yes.

"Good. See that man?" Kenny pointed at NARLY, who finished putting the dead body on the trunk of his car. "He will drop by tomorrow with some boys, make sure to pay him." Kenny said as NARLY arrived to help him walk to the car. Both men walked together to the car where Jukera was waiting for them. They headed back to the Ligambi crew headquarters to tend to their wounds.
