"Hey Alec. I guess they'll give that golden shield to anyone these days," Nene said jokingly, as she pointed to the metal police detective badge pinned to his chest via a steel pin and giggled.

He was just investigating the latest crime scene when he was interrupted by Nene, who suddenly pulled up to the sidewalk with her vehicle and hopped out in a rush.

Alec and Nene had known each other since they were ten, old playmates who, even to this day - enjoyed messing with each other. But today was not going to be fun and games. She needed him on an important mission, plus two more guys who Nene imagined would be able to help execute the plan perfectly.

There was going to be a casino event in Las Vegas, but it wasn't just any event... 

Kenny had received a telegram from a long time business partner, Nene. Some years ago, when Kenny was still an associate of Uncle Joe he bumped into Nene in his brother's bar in South Philly. They shared some drinks, talked and quickly became friends or well.. partners in crime. It didn't take long until Nene suggested a heist. A quick in-and-out in some lottery house in New York, the gig was a success and very profitable, they shared what they stole and parted ways for quite some time. Kenny thought he would never listen about Nene again, but he was wrong.

After arriving at the Las Vegas airport, Kenny made his way to the Count Dracula Hotel where he agreed to meet Nene. One of his mafiosi friends in Las Vegas picked Kenny up and gave him a lift there, is wasn't far away so it was a short trip. In the telegram, she told him that she had rented a room for him so as soon as he arrived at the hotel, he quickly said his goodbyes to his friend, walked towards the attendant desk and asked for the key, as the telegram from Nene instructed. He said his name and the attendant just nodded and went to pick up the key. He handed it over to Kenny and without words, Kenny went to the stairs then up to the hotel room.

He slowly opened the door and entered, the place was very small, only a small kitchen a couch and a bed. He turned his head, looking for Nene but she wasn't there, the only thing he found was a bottle of whiskey in the table with a small note telling him to wait for her. He shrugged, grabbed the bottle of whiskey and opened it up. He made his way towards the couch and sat there, waiting for her to show up.

When Alex figured out Nene's true intentions about her visit, needless to say he was outraged. When he said that he would be there for her whenever, he didn't mean it like this! 

But Nene insisted, that without his help, the job couldn't be done. So what did Alex do? Yes.. He handed his case over to his partner with a quick apology, argued a bit with Nene while they were in the car, before heading to a hotel. Nene could definitely sense that he was slightly annoyed and probably felt forced, but he would empathize later when given more details. 

***

Count Dracula Hotel, just as Nene recommended. She hoped that Kenny would be here by now. The telegram she sent earlier was quite clear: To meet here and stay put until she comes. 

Now.. Kenny.

Kenny entered her life... few years ago, so memories between them were still kind of blurry. Nonetheless, Nene did remember the last time they were on a job together. She worked so well with him that she couldn't help but contact him again and see if he was still up for another job.

She was already at the door of the room she rented for him, knocked once, then twice, before hearing some shuffling from inside. Alec looked around the halls, waiting.

After some time waiting on the couch, Kenny already had drank half of the bottle. That wasn't enough to get him drunk but he was already feeling a bit tipsy. He heard someone knocking on the door and slowly got up from the couch and walked towards it. He opened a bit and peeked outside, to see who it was, it was Nene. After seeing it was her, he pulled the door handle, opening it entirely. He opened a smile and nodded for her to enter.

"The fuck happened to you?" Kenny took a sip from the bottle of whiskey and handed it over to Nene. "Never write.. Never call.. tsk tsk." He raised an eyebrow and stared at her, jokingly. Kenny walked towards the dining table and pulled up a chair, dragging it to the middle of the room and took a seat while looking at her.

"So, what's up?" He said while eyeing the bottle of whiskey that was in her hand. "Erm.. I'm gonna need that back." He said, tilting his head towards the bottle.

When Kenny opened the door, Nene was quite surprised to see him not acting like his.. usual self. She felt that it was her fault though. She put the whiskey bottle on the bed for him. At least he wasn't a violent drunk. Just a dizzy drunk. Nene returned the smile and walked in, Alec followed behind but he didn't say anything. 

He was kind of feeling like a third wheel, so he whispered in Nene's ear that he'll be heading out a bit for a smoke. 

"Go ahead, dude. Plus I already told you in the car what I need you to do for me. All goods. I'll come get you after I sort some stuff out with... my friend over here," she motioned her head to Kenny, and quickly hid the whiskey bottle from him. 

Alec nodded, cleared his throat and headed outside.

"What happened to me? What happened to YOU. Look at you Kenny.." Nene shook her head, rushed over to the small kitchen in the room and poured the remaining contents of the bottle down the sink. 

"Look at me?" Kenny said with a sad voice while looking at Nene wasting all that good whiskey. He leaned back on the chair, staring at her as she made her way back to him. "You know that only a bottle of whiskey isn't enough to get me wasted, right? Oh well.." He shrugged and grabbed a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, he slipped one out and placed it on his lips.

"Where's the lighter?" Kenny said to himself while rummaging through his pockets, he was smoking before so he must've lost the thing. He got up from his chair and started to look for it. "So, why do you called me here?" He said, still looking for the lighter with the cigarette dangling on his lips, he walked and looked for it on the table, then the couch. "Aw fuck it." He grabbed the cigarette from his lips and placed it back on the pack while returning to the chair where he was seated, he looked over to Nene who was with a confused look on her face, he giggled then said.

"Just so you know, I'm not angry that you never contacted me after that job. But let's not think on the past. Tell me why we are here."

Nene noticed the look of frustration on his face as he tried to look for his lighter. She could understand, in a way. Was it the same as having a mini panic attack when she thought she misplaced her keys somewhere? Probably not, but that was the closest thing she could relate to with this situation. 

She sighed and shrugged as he ran around the room. When he gave up, Nene gave up on helping him look for it. "Not here," she said, looking in an empty cupboard while closing another drawer with her leg. 

Kenny plopped back on his chair and Nene started to talk. In a rush kinda, because there was only so much time left before the casino event would start. Nene nodded shyly when he was making a remark about her lack of communication to him. 

"Well, I got busy securing the bag, if you know what I mean. Let's just say that. I'm definitely doing better now financially than I was before." She pulled out a blueprint map of the casino building that they'd be heading to. It was called Pair-o-Dice Club. Nene began to show Kenny all the emergency exits if something unexpected happened. 

Then, she began to get in serious mode. 

"We'll be ridding this city of four pedophiles once we're done. Wanna know more?"

Kenny paid full attention to what she was showing him, trying to implant the blueprint on his brain. It was kind of hard due to the quantity of alcohol he drank, but even if he doesn't to map it he knows how to wing himself out of any bad situation. But that seemed like a bold move, even dangerous. A casino isn't child's play but Kenny trusts Nene and he knows that she wouldn't do something without a planning everything before.

"Pedophiles, huh?" Kenny pictures himself killing them and a happy vibe flows through his body, he lets out a smirk while looking at Nene. "Tell me more about it."

Nene shifted in her seat. She rolled the blueprint back up and tucked it in her backpack, and turned her attention back to Kenny. She nodded slowly as she tried to find the best words to explain the task. 

"These guys are not only highly wanted by the police forces but they're also ex members of this thing of ours. There's alot of heat coming from them and eventually they will get caught and will probably rat some families out. Highly unlikely since most of the police are corrupt and are sided with us, but I've been tasked with the job to execute all four of them just in case. Anything can happen..." 

Then she pulled out some more documents from her backpack, all contained in one single manilla folder. She opened it up and took out pictures of four different men. Nene looked at Kenny carefully then back to the men. 

"First guy is Pablo Accardo, 45, Italian-American and is known to run a sex trafficking ring. Second guy is 'Sly' also known as Latrell Stancil, 36, Pablo's accomplice who has been charged enticing minors in the past. Third guy is Dallas Tucci, ex mafia boss and now is a pimp currently doing deals around the country for his clients."

Nene made a disgusted face as she said the next line. "Lastly - Abdiel Buratti, 20, youngest of the crew and pursues little boys on the street in his spare time... for God knows what.."

Kenny paid full attention on what Nene was saying about those men, he had met one of them - Dallas, a disgusting bastard who would do anything for money, even sell his own mother if he needs to. Kenny had a good drug opportunity and he had to do business with that guy back in the day, he had no idea that he was involved with this kind of shit.

"Sick bastards. Alright, I got it." Kenny says scratching his head while thinking about those men. He has many, many plans on what to do with them. He gets up from his chair and walks towards the sink and opens it. He places his hands together and wash his face, trying to shake off the alcohol and the drunkenness. Kenny grabs an old rag who is on the table and dries his face off while walking slowly towards Nene.

"I've may have heard about Dallas Tucci, but the other names are unfamiliar." Kenny throws the rag at the couch and tidies up his slightly wet hair. "But this Abdiel something.. Hm. Looks like I've seen him before. So, when are we doing it? Tonight?"

By the uncanny response from Kenny, Nene knew that they were on the same page with how they felt about all those guys. They were creepy, old and dangerous. It was time to act like some town vigilantes. Then suddenly, Kenny rose from his seat and splashed his face with cold water. Nene imagined it was to wake him up from his drunken daze.

Nene waited patiently for Kenny to freshen up and when he came back, she smirked in amusement. 

"You had a little too much liquid courage there, pal. This'll be easy though. It's okay, all four of them are easy to spot. They all hang out in separate areas though, which is why I can't do this alone." 

Nene nodded. "Yup. Tonight. Thanks to Alec my police friend, I got a hold of the VIP list for the casino event so we know who is coming and where they will be at what time. Hold on," she turned away from Kenny for a split second to pull out another document from her backpack. It was a fancy list and in big, block letters at the top there were the words 'VIP List for Pair-o-Dice Club'. 

She gave it over to Kenny. "I wasn't assigned a specific target so I guess just pick who you want to go for. I chose Pablo. He's the heart of the pedophile world. If I can take him out, the rest will be easy. And I could try and squeeze information out of him on where the other guys are. They're all connected. He'll be at the craps table at 7:30 pm on the dot."

Pablo, you keep rolling them like that and I’m going to retire young!

Video was at the craps table with a few other people including Pablo the pedo. Video was on the VIP list in fact he was the one who had organized the hit to take Pablo, Latrell and Dallas. Neither of the three men had any indication that Nene was coming for them tonight. Especially with Detroit monster KennyRusso who was well known for a few beatdlens

Video played it calm smiling and waiting. He watched as Pablo had this weird smile that just crept him out. Every time he rolled a pair of dice he would whisper to himself. He continued to drink his cocktails and demanded the waitresses keep them coming. Video looked down at his watch and noticed the time was now 7:30. He looked up and saw Nene standing two tables over watching carefully. Video then made a momentum shift and walked over to Pablo. 

Well pablo it looks like you are going to be one of the big winners tonight! 

As he was finishing his sentence he acted like he was bumped really hard by someone and dropped his drink on Pablo with devilish intention. Pablo began to curse and swear. Yelling at Video that he ruined his fancy suit.

I apologize friend someone bumped me. I’m sure you could still save it if you go to the bathroom right now and clean it. 

With such urgency he fled to the restroom swearing the entire way. Video made eye contact with Nene and Kenny and smiled. He turned back to the table and placed a side bet with those gathered around.

Any takers that Pablo won’t return to the table? I’m betting One million right now! 

7:30, craps table.

Nene knew exactly what she was going to do. She was already heading for the bathroom after sharing a glance with Video, who was initially the one to assign her this task of executing the four madmen. She followed close behind Pablo, careful not to get seen by him and walked into the mens bathroom. Luckily, no one was around but she did see a young lass look at her weirdly earlier. 

"Just great fucking shit," Pablo cursed to himself as he used some dry tissues to hopefully make the stain on his suit go away or make less prominent. His head was still down when Nene walked in confidently, but for some reason he didn't suspect anything. Too busy worrying about himself. Typical. 

She stood beside him and checked herself out in the mirror, fluffing her hair up. Then she turned to him asking, "you need help with that sir?" She had a face of an angel in that moment but her heart was made of stone. And she enjoyed it. 

Pablo looked up confused, but when he realized that she was just trying to help, he suddenly pulled her in close and tried to grope her. "Oh yes.. What can the lovely lady do for me?" Nene didn't even blink as she quickly took the silencer from her thigh gun holster, pointed it to the side of his head and looked him in the eyes.

"I would really love to see you rot in jail but frankly I don't like the idea of letting you live, sleep and eat while knowing that you ruined thousands of young lives. Go swim with the fishes, bitch." 

WACK!

Video walks in the bathroom moments after Nene fires her gun at Pablo. He exclaims in a loud thundering voice.

Success! Dat Bums Swimming with the fishes. 

They stare at each other momentarily before Video apologizes. 

I...I am really sorry. I am not sure what came over me i felt sort of just this impulse to exclaim that. Okay i have a couple of guys posing as laundry men. They should be swinging in here real soon. I expect his accomplice sly will be looking for him soon. I have a plan if you are up for it. 

Video looks up and down Nene and smiles. 

I think the only thing is it will require a bit of acting on your end. Shall i go on? 

As she nods, Video begins to explain his plan. 

The casino is a casino hotel right? Well I will grab the room key Pablo originally had. I imagine that it is some sort of suite. I will move on to the room and wait in the room with KennyRusso. You brush shoulders with Sly and tell him that Pablo left him a bit of a surprise in Room...

Video looks down at the key card. Flips it over and reads the room number allowed.

Room 758. Once Sly makes his way up to the bedroom both KennyRusso and I can take him out from there. We will make it look like he had an accidental fall. You up for it? 

Video looks over and thinks to himself. 

He may wonder who you are. I imagine you could improve quickly and find something to say. Do you feel comfortable with this or would you prefer You and I go in the room and wait for Sly and Kenny informs him of the "surprise"?

Nene heard the door open and thought 'shit', but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Video. She didn't mind that he was acting like the narrator of the crime scene. It added a little bit of excitement to everything. She felt less tense now too. Nene nodded as she felt confident in having to play a fake part.

She liked his surprise plan for Sly, but...

"I think it would be more wise if Kenny informs him. Someone could have witnessed it. I'm sure by now someone is worried sick about Pablo, and there's probably hundreds of his men looking for him right now," Nene said as she helped to ease his doubts, took one last look at the dead body on the bathroom floor and headed out with a smirk. 

The evil but justifiable deed had been done. One down, three more to go.

Really sounded like a nice event this one, Tutte smiled when reading all fine thing about this and hoped he could join the event without missing anything about it.

"Well spoken Nene and never be sure about what KennyRusso is talking about, hes awsome anyway and always is a guy to trust in any ways, really hope this issue is cleare in an instant ;)"
