"Hey Boss,its time to go on."Michael leaves my office.I wrap my linen cloth around my knuckles and leave the office.Tonight was the big night.A free for all.Some of the big guys,we had some bruisers from the Peggorino family,a couple of Made men from the Gucci's. But The Street Kingdom was unbeatable.Especially with my fighting skills. I walk up to one of the bouncers ... "500k on The Street Kingdom." See,this wasn't a fight club for individuals ... but for the family as a whole...whoever wanted to enter,got a chance to make themselves,and Don Tie some money.I walk into the cage and see ... Two fighters for each family ... three families,The Street Kingdom,the Gucci's,and the Peggorino's ... but wait... Wheres my partner? I see Don Tie walking to place a bet on me. "10 Million on The Street Kingdom." He said,then he noticed my partner was missing. Before the match started I left the cage to talk to Tie. "Wheres your partner Tommy?" Tie asks impatiently. "I don't know... I guess I'll have to do it alone." I walk back into the cage."Are all fighters ready? We all nod.Begin! I see Richard Gucci tackle Roman Peggorino. Michael went to go help his partner Roman. Then Michael Gucci came after me ... One swing ... Two swings ... Three swings ... You're down bitch! I find it best to help Gucci take out one of the Peggorino's so i wasn't alone. I go for Roman,I grab him by the shoulders from behind then use my feet to trip him,from there I keep kicking until he stops resisting. Ok,the remaining Michael and Richard decide to double team me since its their only choice.First Richard comes at me ... full force he runs at me,I hook him in the jaw,down he goes.Now for Michael. He comes at me he swings once ... Miss. Twice ... Miss. Three times ... and finally I catch his arm and twist it around until I hear a load crack and the crying pains. I punch him repeatedly. Finally I stop hitting him I begin to walk out of the cage and Tie hands me my pistol. Something shocked me from behind I spin around and fire three shots. BANG ... BANG ... BANG.piercing Michael Peggorino in the chest. The crowd wasn't happy."What the fuck is this shit!?" I heard a lot of voices screaming out. Thats when the Peggorinos come running after Me and Tie. "Tie go I'll handle them!" Don Tie resists. "I'm no pussy Tommy.Lets fuck em up!" Tie gets out a colt .45 and hands it to me,then he pulls out his revolver for himself. We shot all the Peggorinos that were there.The onyl thing we forgot...was our 21 million they owed us. "Hey wheres our fucking money!?" Tie asks the bouncer. "Your boy cheated fuck you!" BANG. The bouncer dropped dead. "Dont you ever speak to my Don like that bitch!" Tommy gets their money and the two get the hell out.They get back to the HQ and begin to count the money and split it up. "Ok Tommy,this is how its working,two million for you,19 for me...thats more than you bet,you only bet half a mil so I'm doing you a favor." Tie hands me the cash. "Thank you Don Tie.Perhaps we can do this next week." I shake Tie's hand."Yes we should Tommy."Tie smiles.

One Week Later ...

"Tommy." I can hear Tie's voice. "Tommy,there's another match going down,winner wins one-hundred Million! We gotta get down there..but remember,only the best of the best are there.Lets get going."We made it to the fight club.I saw Ricky Moldanado Not even a Mobster,makes his living in the cage.I look next to Ricky and notice Waldo Gucci.RHM of the Gucci's. At the bar I see Mia McEdwin ... First and only Women Fighter.One more spot left,that's me.I walk up to register into the match,Tie hands the bouncer 20Million I give him the leftover 5Million.I hand Tie my Pistol and enter the ring."Fighters ready?" The bouncer asks."Bring em on! Ricky chants. "Ready ... Fight!" Mia Being known for her speed easily zoomed around Waldo,kicking him in the neck.Ricky,the strongest, comes after me.I am pretty tough and strong..but compared to this guy,I was a twig.He charges at me,and punches me in the jaw.I quickly recover,I slide under his legs,grab the back of his neck,and hop on for a ride.Sitting on his shoulders I punch him on the crown of his head,over and over until he collapses.I see Mia getting punched in the throat by Waldo. I grab Waldo from behind while Mia punches him over and over.finally once Waldo has had enough I use him as a weapon against Mia.I grab his legs and begin swinging him! Mia dodges every move and makes her way behind me. She kicks me in the spine twice,I couldn't move,I thought I was paralyzed,then I blacked out for a moment.I woke up to Tie screaming "Get up! Get up she's gonna win!" At the last moment I stood up,and punched her in the back of the head.Thats all it took and she was done."YEahhh! Yess!Tommy!" I could hear Tie cheering.I run out of the cage and we collect our money."C'mon Tommy,lets go get us some whores!" Tie hands me my cut of 20Mil and he takes his 80Mil and the Two walk out cheering!

To Be Continued Once Again ...

I was walking around in the fight club but he wasnt up for fighting,but he did wanna watch a fight. "20Million on the big guy."I told the bouncer.Tonight it was One on One,that's not my thing,I like beating the shit out of multiple people at once.He handed the bouncer 20Mil and went over to the bar to order a drink. "Hey good lookin'." The bartender says ... She had dark brown eyes,brunette hair ... Nice big lips. My Dream girl."Hey lemme get a scotch on the rocks." I hand the bartender 100,000.Keep the change sexy." I wink at her and take a big gulp of my drink."Ahh,that hit the spot.You know what  would be better right now?" I gaze into her eyes."What is that?" She smiles at me. "How 'bout we go upstairs and get to know each other better?"I order another drink and down it."So ... I'm Tommy. whats your name?" I hand her another 50,000 for some more scotch."Nicole ... Call me Nicky." Nicky hands me my drink."Well,Nicky,there's a couple of hotel rooms upstairs right?"I take a sip of my scotch."Yeah,How about we go and get one?" Nicole takes my hand. "Hey Mikey,I'm taking a break cover for me." Nicky takes me upstairs. We rented our room.We open the door and right away she starts unbuttoning my shirt.Kissing her neck,I pull off her pants.She unbuttons my pants and lays on top of me on the bed.She moans slightly.There was a load knock on the door.I ignored it."Get the fuck outta here we're busy!" I holler. Finally the door kicks in.I roll over quickly and get my pistol that was strapped to my pants which are on the floor.BANG ... BANG ... BANG ... I shot all three of the men who were at the door. "Who the fuck are they?" I turn to Nicky. "That's my Ex Boyfriend,Roberto.He comes here every night to bet on the fights." Her words rang through my head over and over ... I was forgetting something ... MY BET! I placed a 20Mil bet on the fight! "Nicky,I'm sorry I have to go." Usually I wouldn't care about the 20Mil over a girl but that was Tie's money I'd be dead if I showed up without it. I get dressed and run down stairs as fast as I can,knocking down couples who were on their way up the stairs.I got to the bouncer who took my payment. "Who won?" I ask him ... panting. Micky Vercini." He replies,handing someone their winnings. "I bet 20Mil on Vercini." I look into his eyes,hand on my gun."Oh yeah,You ... You're that Gato kid eh?Someone already stopped by and claimed your money." He says pointing over to a couple of big guys at the bar."You just let them walk away with it?What the hell man!" I walk over to the bar. "Hey you sack of shits! Give me my fucking 40Mil you owe me!" About seven big men stand up and surround me. "Who the fuck are you? The biggest,man who seems to be the leader of this crew asks. "Who am I? Who the fuck are you bitch?" I shove him. Two guys grab me and i elbow one in the face,now that I have an open hand I can grab my gun. I pull it out and aim it at them. "Get the fuck back! Get the fuck back!Give me my Fucking money!" They all step back. "Ok man,don't shoot us...heres your money." I count it to make sure. Theres 30mil here. You ripped me off you fuckheads!" I shoot the leader three times in the chest. The rest of the guys run away. I approach fallen man and put my gun in his mouth."Give me my fucking ... Now!" He hands me the rest. "You got a car?" I ask him. "Yeah ... Yeah it's right out front ... here's the keys." I take the keys and shove them down his throat. "I don't need that shit!" He chokes to death on the keys. I hear sirens so I quickly go upstairs,have Nicky come with me,I go out to the parking lot and I pour gasoline on the guys car. I light a cigarette,take one hit and throw it onto the car."Lets get the fuck outta here Nicky."

To be continued ... for the Fourth time ...

"Tommy! Tommy! Tommy1" I could hear Nicole screaming my name ... I was unconscious ... But I still could hear her calling me ... I had to wake up ... I had to!

5 Hours earlier ... 

"Nicky,c'mon I got a meeting with Don Tie tomorrow really early I gotta get to sleep." I try to force her off of me. "But Babe. Tonight we celebrate!." She jumps on me,kissing my neck,pulling down my pants.Usually I'd be all for it but i had a really important meeting with Don Tie the next day.  "Nicky! Get the fuck off me!" I flip out.She kept moving down,closer and closer to my pelvis area."Nicky I said get the fuck off of me!" I push her off of the bed. "You fucking play too much you stupid whore." I light a cigarette. "Fuck you!" She gets dressed and opens the door ... That's when she made the mistake ... CRACK! I saw a crowbar hit her over the head. I saw her helpless,bloody body hit the floor. "NICKY!" I jump up and run to the three men standing in the doorway. One had a gun.Another had brass knuckles,and the third ... a crowbar.The man with the crowbar swung at me,I moved to the right,grabbed the crowbar and hit him in the nose with it. The man with the gun was ready to shoot ... Too slow! I threw the crowbar,hitting him in the neck. Two down,one to go. The brass knuckled man charges me ... SMACK ... Right in the face ... I fall to the floor ... Bloody,and unconscious. I remember waking up to a gun in my face. " Wheres the fucking money?" The man with the gun asks me ... Apparently he recovered.  "I dont know what you're talking about." I spit in his face. He hits me with the barrel of his gun. "Then you're no use to us." He rolls me over ... BANG ... BANG ... Right in the back. After losing quite some amount of blood,I eventually pass out. That brings us back to present times.

Present.

"Tommy! Tommy help me! Please Tommy! Please!" Nicole is still screaming. I open my eyes ... its hard to see. I blink a few times. I am on the floor right by my bed ... I remember the 12 Gauge I keep under there. "Get the fuck out." The three men turn to see me,holding a 12 gauge aiming at them. I noticed some kind of liquid all over Nicky. I see the crowbar armed man with a cigarette. "As you wish." The man smoking the cigarette says. He begins to walk out,then he turns around and flicks the cigg on Nicky ... All I could see was fire ... A shit load of fire ... "Nicky!" I stagger to my feet to come to her rescue ... The fire is now blazing ... I can still hear Nicky's cries of pain. I call out to her ... "I'm sorry! I love you!" The apartment was blazing now ... I had to go ... Even if I made it out alive ... Tie would probably punish me ... maybe even with death ... I missed the scheduled meeting now ... When I realize Nicky is dead ... I give up hope ... I get out while I still can. My family is gone ... But my real family ... The Street Kingdom ... will Live on forever.

The End ...
