Crimson Chaos

Chapter ii

 Angelo enjoyed the warm wind slapping his face as he looked through the window of the red ferrari driving on high speed through the Arkansas cross country road, he fought hard to remember where he had met or known the pretty blonde driving him to only God knows where. He recall vividly that she was the same girl who pissed him at the payphone, this time her hair was packed into a ponytail , but that wasn't it, he had a strong feeling that he had known her from somewhere sometime ago. Occasionally he would turn to steal a glance from the blonde who had her eyes fixed on the road and then turns away to the window to think hard on when or where he had known her.
 "Why on earth is this black dude looking at me like that", Vanessa thought to herself, "of course am hot and pretty I know, but this guy doesn't seem to me like much of a flirt, he looks very familiar though, but where or when did we ever meet or know each other".
 Angelo had no idea that he had been caught several times stealing glances because she was wearing a black shade.
 "Uhm, so Gregory ask you to meet him up here in Arkansas eh?". Vanessa's soft but firm feminine voice broke the dreary silence.
 "Ahh yeah, he did". Angelo answered hesitantly
 "Hmmm, really, i find that kinda weird though, why would he ask you to meet him here, did he know you'd be coming today?".
 "Yeah, actually he picked the date annnnnd the place".
 "Thats strange, Gregory has no business here in Arkansas".
 "Oh really", Angelo said as he looked at Vanessa with a confused fashioned glance. After a moment of silence, Vanessa added "I think he's testing your loyalty and your steadfastness too".
 "If he doubts my loyalty, why did he have you come pick me up?" Angelo asked somewhat suspicious. "And where are we going by the way?", Angelo lets his curiosity take over him.
 "Hey relax, its not like am kidnapping you or something", Vanessa said almost laughing.
"Well thats what it looks like, you're driving me somewhere i don't even know and am not even sure if a mafia like Gregory as he claims to be would have ladies working for him".
 "Hey watch it young man, am no ordinary lady, am dangerous".
 "Really, you don't look like you can hurt a mice". Angelo smirked
 "What! how dare you, i'll kill a mice for you to see when we get to Texas".
 "Texas?"
 "Yeah Texas, and from there we'll board a plane to Los Angeles", Vanessa said with a smile, "so are you happy now monsieur?''
 "why does he have to make me come down to Arkansas?" Angelo inquired somewhat unsatisfied.
 "Thats Gregory for you, so unpredictable, but relax, you're in safe hands ok" She smiled.
 "So you work for Gregory eh?" Angelo tries to keep on the conversation
 "yah" she said with rolling eyes
 "so tell me, is he one of the biggest mafias in town".
 "What business do you two have anyway?" Vanessa asked as she took her eyes off the road and placed them on Angelo's face.
 "He's gonna help me find my dad".
 "Oh! ok". "I know i know this guy", Vanessa Muttered in her head "His name is Angel, i know it is". "Uhm sir, whats your name by the way", she questioned.
 After a few seconds of thinking of the best possible alias, Angelo answered with a warm smile "Brian, Brian Cage".
 "What a nice name", Vanessa tried to hide her disappointment, "so who taught you martial art, i saw you giving those punks a little something back there in the restaurant".
 "My dad!" He gave a frost reply.

 45 minutes ago

 The gunmen tried to keep everyone quiet and in order so as to prevent an alarm, two of them just got back from jail and they don't plan on going back soon.
 "I said gimme all your money, your jewelries, your guccis and your versaces and no one gets hurt", the leader repeated in a somewhat soothing manner. Everyone browse themselves and brought out all of their money and jewelries, as well as their guccis and versaces.
 Angelo who laid on the ground seems to be indifferent about the situation, his eyes searched for his newly found bully of a friend and it found him laying belly flat on the ground, and shivering like a sick mice , the unexpected sight made Angelo chuckled and it invited the attention of the leader. "Hey you!", the leader was pissed not just by Angelo's apathy, but also his honey colored skin which he considered as a skin defect. He walked toward Angelo furiously and tried picking him roughly at the collar of his shirt. Angelo knew the slim punk didn't have the energy to lift him up so he helped him out by standing up at the punk's puny pull still chuckling with his hands in the air. "Do you mind telling me whats funny kid", the punk questioned pressing his m9 against Angelo's head, "you think this is all a joke, huh?".
 Angelo gazed into his eyes and it was all red from weed, the guy was high and Angelo knew it. "Relax, all i have is $3000 and my buddy here doubts if there are anymore bullets in your guns" Angelo said pointing at the big bully who lays on the ground, shivering and sweaty.
 The slim punk points his gun at the poor fat man, "mummy", the big bully cried out as he buries his head in his fists hoping to receive a bullet or two in his fluffy body.
 Angelo fiercely  threw his elbow backwards hitting the leader of the amateur heist gang at his ribs, Angelo swiftly jumped behind the wincing punk as he grip his neck with his arm and took his gun and pressed it hard on his bald head. His other two men pointed their guns at Angelo who uses their boss as a shield. "Now tell em to put down their guns or you'll be yesterday's story" Angelo whispered in his ears.
 "Bastard" he cursed.
Angelo tightens his grip on their leaders throat thereby blocking his trachea. "Put your guns down", the leader mumbles out .
 "Your daddy said you two better put those guns down, or he'll be dog food", he smirked, "you don't want that to happen do you?".
 "Never!!!!" One of the gun men shouted as he drags a little boy to himself and points his gun at his head. "Let go of my boss or i'll blow his brains off".
 "And you think i care" Angelo bluffed with a forced smirk
 "Mummy", the poor lad screamed in fear. The gunman look deep into Angelo's eyes as he gave him the "gotcha" kinda smirk, he then went on to cracking his pistol.
 "1....2..." The gunman counted, "am gonna do it"
 "Shit! ok you win" Angelo let go of the alpha, he got on his knees and put his hands in the air with the gun still in his grip, the other gunman quickly ran towards Angelo in attempt to disarm him, as soon he got to him, Angelo kicked his feet real hard that he fell to the ground, and before the gunman who held the child could utter another word of threat, Angelo picked a mug and threw it at him and it hit the target just right and hard on his forehead and it totally knock out the daylight outta him. Angelo got up on his feet and fought the leader and the other gunman who just got on his feet too, Angelo skillfully lashed out some punches and kicks he had learnt and before they all knew it, Angelo had all three men down and two were unconscious.
 "Mr man you're going to juvie", Angelo announced
 "But i just got out"
 "well you'll have to beg him", Angelo said pointing at the big bully who has now now gotten on his feet, he threw him the gun and handed over the punk to him. "Is everyone Ok", everyone scrambles for their money, jewelries and their guccis and versaces. Angelo reached for his gig bag that laid on his table and made a walk for the exit. Soon as he reaches the door he heard a gun cracked behind him, he turned to find the big bully he had met earlier pointing a gun at him.
 "And who told you you can leave without your order" He said with a smile. Angelo felt like hugging the bunny in front of him, he gets so emotional, the waiter quickly brought him an harm burger and a cup of smoothy and then his bill.
 "Oh thanks," Angelo said, "I'll take this and this".
 "What about this" the waiter ask flashing the bill across Angel's face.
 Angelo brought his mouth closer to the waiter's ear as he mouth some words, "give it to that warthog", he looked at the big fat guy who was still smiling at Angelo. " Thanks bro"
 "The pleasure is mine" the big bully replied.
 Angelo walked out the door, and again on the streets of Arkansas, his eyes searched for the payphone and found it just where he had left it and this time, it was empty. And all of a sudden a red ferrari pulled over in front of him, from the soulette he could tell it was a lady, she unwound the window  and Angelo beheld a beautiful blonde lady with devil red lips and a black shade on.
 "We have to go now", she said, "Gregory sent me!".

**************************

 Marvin quickly  awoke from his slumber soon as he heard the clunking of a car, "who could that be" He muttered angrily, "now i can't still enjoy my beauty sleep". He picked up his gun and checked just to make sure it is loaded and ready for business so he don't repeat a mistake that would have cost his life some weeks ago. He peep through the window and saw a blonde lady with an African American guy stepping out of a very familiar ferrari. Vanessa looked up and caught his silly cousin peeping through the window of the little farm house, "what the hell is he doing?", she asked nobody, "get down here you little penguin, will ya". she screamed.
 "There's our jet" Vanessa pointed towards a hangar that was built a little distance behind the farm house.
 "Oh!" Angelo exclaimed pretending not to have noticed it, "smooth, really nice".
 "Do you always carry that everywhere you go", Vanessa's wavering attention fell on Angelo's gig bag.
 "Oh yeah" he said as he lifted up his left wrist flashing his leather watch, "I got it from Paris, its beautiful huh?"
 "No, Brian i was talking about your.... Never mind"
 Just then Marvin walked out of the farm house with his bag pack and gun in his hand. He walked towards Angelo and looked him hard in the eyes, Angelo eyed him and his gun for what seems like hours and Marvin scoffed at his appearance and his gig bag.
 Angelo was wearing a blue polo neck sweater, a black jean and a pair of sneakers. "I don't like you", Marvin whispers to Angel
"Me too" he replied with a smirk
 "And whats funny"
 "You're standing on Bingo's poo"
 Marvin slowly brought his eyes down, but Vanessa's laughter gave him the confirmation he needed.
 Marvin scowled at Angelo and as Vanessa would later say "his face looked like granny's butt"
 "You'll pay for this" Marvin muttered
 "Hey relax" Angelo said, "Its not like i put it there".
  "Ok kids, cut it out" Vanessa finally stepped in between those two "Brian meet my cousin Marvin, Marvin, meet my.... uhm, my fri..."
 "Fiancee!!" Angelo cuts in.
 "Yeah you wish, my sister would never date a looser like you, dude"
 "So who would she date, you??"
 "Hey hold it you two, I would never go out with either of you, now will you two quit fighting like two little kindergarten girls and lets get going, Marvin go start the plane will ya, and you Brian make yourself useful and get me a bucket of tap water, arrrrg kids!!"
 Soon Vanessa put all in order and before they knew it, they were flying to Los Angeles, Angelo thought the plane was too quiet so he raised a song
 "Roll roll roll your boat gently like a dream, merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a sea, now everybody sing"
 "Seriously?" Vanessa expresses her disappointment "Marvin teach him the song will you?"
 "Roll roll roll your boat gently on the pee, merrily merrily merrily merrily that is what it is, everybody sing"
 Vanessa quickly plugs in her head phone as she buries her head in shame, but to her surprise, Angelo starts to sing along with Marvin. "Roll roll roll your boat, gently on the pee, merrily merrily merrily merrily that is what it is, lets go!!!!"
