I woke up from a dead sleep to someone knocking loudly on my door in my hotel room. It was way too early to be checkout, I knew I stayed out late gathering intel, but it was still dark outside. Maybe they had the wrong room as I tried to fall back asleep, but again a second loud knock came across the door. I was sure it was the cops at this point, I grabbed the sidearm off the counter and got up from my bed. Slowly walking towards the door I tried not to make a sound. I looked into the peephole to see who was standing across from me and at that same time he decided it was time for the third and final knock. I swung the door open as fast as possible and dragged the young man into my room slamming the door behind me. I had my gun drawn to his face and I dropped it right away seeing the terrified look on the front desk associates face. I holstered my gun and apologized after saying he sounded like a pig. He handed me a note that had come in from someone at the front desk that had called. He apologized still afraid for his life as he said the man on the other end of the phone said he would kill his entire family if I didn't get this message sent. I pulled my billfold from my sports coat and handed him a large bill sending him on his way. It looked like the kid was about to piss his pants so I sent him on his way.

Sitting down on the side of the bed I opened the note.

Its me,

Get your ass to the pay phone and give me a call.

Packing up all of my stuff I had brought with me instantly I knew the message. It was time to leave and get on the phone as soon as I could. I'd been in New York for a week watching the Business Manager of Seattle while he was on vacation with his family. New York was not everyone first choice for a vacation, but it looked like they were visiting his wives parents. I watched from a far trying to stay out of eye contact gathering as much information as I could to use against him. He had been giving me a tough enough time since I had moved into Seattle. Charging me three times the other businesses on taxes, I wasn't the ones that was usually getting flexed on. I had a hard enough time as it was for the bastard to even give me the space I got. The officials knew I had brought in a lot of  dirty money into there city and they were doing everything they could to send us packing first chance they got. The corrupt mayor had his hands on everything in the city and didn't want us expanding out of the area we had already claimed. The land was not meant for us and we had out bid him in an auction for the property. He was more then furious and was looking to get his revenge by getting rid of us first chance he got. 

With bag in hand I exited the hotel after checking out at the front desk. Placing my luggage in the back of my rental car I looked around for the nearest pay phone. I didn't see anything close, but I knew there was one closer to the market down the street I saw when I had flown in. I started the vehicle up and headed towards the market. I tried to make sure I kept a low profile so there was no fancy outfits today, dressed in all black no to grab attention. If I was seen then everything we were doing was ruined. Pulling into the parking lot I saw the payphone on the side of the store. I parked close and exited heading towards the phone while looking around to check my surroundings. I took the note from my pocket and read it one more time before dialing the number of the person I thought who had sent the urgent message. The phone rang a couple times as he could of been busy before he finally picked it up.

"I see you finally got my message huh? We don't have much time I need you to just listen I will make it quick. I don't have a lot of time to talk I think they got the phone tapped. The family is at the airport and they are getting ready to depart from the airport towards Seattle. I need you home before they are so do what you gotta do to figure that out. Once your here, you have the green light, take care of things. I'll see you where I am supposed to see you", said a familiar voice on the other end as it went dead. 

I hung up the phone and headed back to my car, it was time for our days of planning to pay off. We had done everything imaginable to make sure this was going to work. Driving off I was back in the car and heading towards the airport. I parked my car in the spot in case someone else from the family needed it and left my gun underneath the seat for the next person. It was getting harder to get the firearms through airport security so we were stashing them when we took off now days.

I entered the airport in New York and looked around trying to figure out how I was going to get home before they did. Trying to not be suspicious or stand out I made my way over to the private flights desk. The man at the counter noticed my right away after I took my glasses off. He said something about how he ha been in Vegas for the Provensano fight and he was a huge fan. I told him I needed a deal on the next private flight to Seattle, the guy was such a fan he went out of his way to get me on a plane right away and out of town headed towards Seattle. My celebrity had paid off, but I wasn't trying to be seen. I boarded the small plane quickly and the pilot said we had a short flight ahead of us. It was nice and it didn't look like anyone else was heading the same way as me. I had a short window to get myself prepared before the business manager and his family landed.

I hadn't budgeted the private flight, but it was the right move. I had landed home in Seattle and had enough time to get myself situated. Sitting in the parking garage I waiting for there flight to land. It was just arriving and they would be outside and vulnerable once they grabbed their luggage. I looked at the baton Johnny had given me and began tapping it against the steering wheel. Things were about to get serious and I was looking forward to it. I had specific instructions on how I was to handle the situation and to not break the mans legs if at all possible. Thinking to myself that Johnny and his men had there hands full. If things were going account to plan then they were already knee deep into the operation. I'd trusted Johnny every since our friendship had grown stronger working alongside each other down in Vegas. I laid a few lines of that great coke I had gotten from Johnny and snorted them up real quick. Feeling my eyes roll back in my head as I felt the Madness kicking in I could hear the sound of kids in the distance.

"Ohhhhh Yeeaaa, Unleash TheMadness Too hot to handle, too cold to hold Yeaaaaa!"

I got excited from the cocaine and the site of the Business Manager and his family walking towards the parking garage. I slipped my black mask over my head and picked up the baton as I exited the car walking around the backside. Coming up towards the front of my car from the passenger side I watched as they entered the parking garage. The kids were arguing probably tired from there flight but they were about to get some unwelcome excitement. Unlike Johnny I didn't have a few men with me so I had to take another touch to the kidnapping. The excitement was building as they got closer to there car, I felt like all of the time that we had invested was about to pay off. 

Watching the wife walk up to the passenger side starting to load the two kids into the vehicle. It was go time for me so I came out from behind my car and directly towards them being quiet but quick. Before she could even turn around I walked up behind the Business Manager hitting him with the baton right behind the knee taking him out. I wasn't supposed to break the mans leg, but the way I hit him from behind he was down for the count. His wife moved quick to push the second kid in the car before trying to come back to see what was happening. Her husband tried to do something from the ground but I hit him again in the leg with the baton making sure her understood who was in charge. He didn't put up much of a fight so I was hoping that I didn't go over the top when I hit him. I pulled my pistol from my waistband and pointed it in her direction. I explained to her that if she wanted to see her husband the Business Manager then she better keep quiet. I told her that if we got heat then I would be coming for her and the kids showing her a piece of paper with there address on it.

Standing up I took the keys from his pocket and hesitated before handing them over. She knew that her kids lives were in her hands and it was up to her if she wanted to see her husband again. Laying on the ground in pain I began to drag the man towards my car and place him in the trunk. I wanted to make sure that I made as big a scene as possible scaring both the Business Manager and his wife. If we were ever going to convince them that we weren't fucking around then we had to play hard ball. Slamming the trunk shut I sped off shooting out one of her tires, if she was gonna rat then I needed as much time as I could get. I was heading towards the locations Johnny and I had agreed on before giving her a chance to follow me. I gave the broad the finger before focusing on the drive ahead of me.
