"Its been a while since we sat and talked like men, how you been you look good" Paul Colombo said.
"No you're the one that looks good if I had you're money I be even better"
Paul laughs circling the ice in his crystal shot glass before taking the drink down straight. He hisses as the beverage rolls down his throat before grabbing the large bottle of Dissarono pouring another shot.
"You want some"
"No I'm good, I don't drink while working"
"Working" Paul asks.
"Yes working, I came here for business"
"You want to do business with me" Paul says in his low deep Italian accent.
"I'm here to make a deal"
"Does this deal involve my money"
Paul played stupid but was far from it, he was a mysterious man unpredictable but deadly as they come. The sixty eight year old Don ran the streets with an iron fist coming up from poverty in the native land to his family becoming the biggest crime family in the states.
"I need more time"
"Time for what, time time time everyone wants time the only thing is you can get more time but you can replace the time you lose. So how much of my money you have"
"None"
"Wait you have no money but you want more time, this guy he doesn't even come with a good bargain" Paul says beginning to speak Italian laughing with his body guard standing by him.
"I don't have your money now but I will give you double what I owe, i just need time"
"Don't make promises you can't keep"
"This is a promise I can definitely keep. Despite you destroying my club which put a pause on cash I know have a shipment from out of town that will provide the money to pay my debt. Give me one month and not a day more and we are even"
"And if you don't make good on this promise"
"Then you can kill me"
"Whats stopping me from killing you now"
"Cause you want you're money, I want to be safe on the streets. We both get what we want and move on but doing this I need a favor from you a truce, my men stay out of your way yours stay out of mines"
"You talk a good game but you know what I will agree, thirty days and not a second more"
The two shook hands sealing what looked to be a set deal. As much as they hated each other they were willing to have a sit down to resolve their issues. A man walks in the room whispering something to Paul which turns his face red. Will plays it off taking a drink but carefully notices.
"You know I think in honor of our new agreement we should celebrate"
"What you got in mind old man"
Paul gets up with his cane and escorts Will outside to the balcony overlooking the forty acre backyard filled with flowers plants and an Olympic size swimming pool with clear ice blue water that sat in the middle.
"I'm glad we can come together as men, we see eye to eye to solve a problem and move on now let's play" Paul says with one of his men handing him a shotgun as a target is put up in the garden.
"You like this my son got it for me for my birthday, still haven't tries it out yet"
"Yes it's nice"
"I haven't shot it yet so now is the perfect time to try it out"
Paul closes one eye focusing on the police target nearly half a mile away and fires. The bullet slices right through the middle of the target perfect shot.
"I still got the touch huh" Paul says laughing as another target is put up and he fires again.
The target is once again hit in perfect aim. Paul then turns placing the gun to Wills head who immediately puts his hands up. He knew it was too good to be true, he felt it coming. Walking to the balcony minutes earlier he spotted one of the shooters from the club walk into the room.
"You think you can come up here make a deal with me after not having my money kill my son and everything is suppose to alright "
"Before you kill me give me a chance to explain"
"Explain what"
"I didn't have nothing to do with that but I know who did"
As Will spoke his bodyguard walked to the door of the balcony , Paul is startled looking over taking aim at him but the bullet hits the air as he's able to push the barrel out of his face. Will pulls out a knife sliding it straight into Pauls heart, he looks over at him shaking as Will slowly lies him on the ground watching his last breaths.
"I tried to make a deal with you now both you and your son are dead"
Pauls men witness the death and take out their guns as Will bodies behind the thin wall while his bodyguard takes his hun out beginning to trade shots. Will drops his knife pulling out a gun entering the blow for blow death match. Both men fight their way through the mansion back outside to the car where they drive off. Will waste no time calling Henry telling him about the ordeal, little does he know Henry is sleeping with the enemy talking to him while watching Passion dress.
The two meet up back at his house as he washes blood off of his shirt before putting on a robe.
"So you finally gonna tell me what happened"
"I murdered the man and now the Mafia will not stop until they murder me, I thought I had a truce made but they found out about Passion somehow she got to Mike"
"So what's your next move"
"Next move is to lay low, I need to get out of town then I need you to watch Passion. She wants to rebuild the club let her but she will not run it, watch her and then when she least expects it kill her"
"Say no more I got you"
"How the drop off went"
"Everything's perfect, all you have to do now is wait. I'll have another shipment shortly"
"That's good, warn them I need everyone on alert. They're going to strike back and I don't need surprises"
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it just stay safe and leave everything to me"
Henry was all Will had in his corner now truly against the world. Besides worrying about Passion he now had the Colombos to fear knowing he had a price on his head for the death of their boss.
Eric and Emily walked through the coroner's office up to the body displayed on the medal slab. The large light fixture over the naked body as one arm lied off the table. This was the only part of her job she hated. Even though it was her passion to solve murder cases she didn't like to see the dead bodies. She covered her mouth with a napkin to keep out any foul smell and stood feet away from the body over a garbage can just in case her stomach didn't agree with the situation. Coroner Edward Combs walked out of his office in his medical gown and mask. He pops the mask off and takes off his gloves greeting the detectives.
"So what did you find out for us today" Eric says.
"You know whenever you bring a body in here it's never easy"
"When has it ever been easy"
"Well by now you might've already known that this person was transgenered they had the sex operation and all, alot of work done to their body"
"Cause of death gunshot to the chest"
"I knew it"
"That's not all, there was trauma to the head. See here it was split open and there was blood under her fingernails which means there was a hell of a fight before they took her life"
"Maybe a hate crime" Emily suggested finally walking over to examine the body as Edward pointed out his findings.
"I think it's much deeper than that, she had a sex change operation so it's possible they could've found out about her secret but they buried her so it's was well thought out. We have a bigger picture here and I don't think it's a hate crime"
"They have reports on her now real name Terrence Baker prior records show he was once involved in the death of his best friend over his friends boyfriend"
"It may be the same situation here who knows what type of life she was living but we'll find more of that out"
Erics phone rings while he puts on a glove grazing his hand on the body. He didn't mind getting up close and personal with the victims death was nothing to him and he sometimes talked to them, he felt their spirits could listen and respond therefore giving him clues as to what happened.
"Come on i need your help, what really happened that night"
He can't ignore his call any longer as it rings again and he finally answers.
"Detective Holmes"
"I was waiting for you to pick up, we got some more evidence on this case" says the officer.
"What you find"
"Well we checked out the address on the card found and it's for a new tattoo parlor that just opened, also looks like the deceased was going by the name of Diamond a very popular person around this area known for her looks I'm guessing many didn't know of her true identity but recently charges were filed against a Leslie Walker"
"Rape"
"Yes rape and guess what Leslie works at the tattoo parlor, that's where he was arrested"
That's all he needed to hear. Eric ends the conversation hanging up the phone and removing the glove.
"Whats wrong" Emily says.
"Well looks like we got our first suspect, we need a warrant"
"Let's get on it"
