Before the Lights Fade old new original

Leonardo

A blue Sedan pulled up and started down the bridge. It stopped halfway jerking to the right and stopping.

"what do we have here", Leo spoke.

He brushed his black mustache and got out of his Car. he crept toward the body and shook his head. this must of just happened about twenty minutes ago,

the tanks were destroyed on the bike.

he looked at the body and saw the piercing blue eyes and little bit of red hair. Brains were dribbled onto the ground which he knew was from a heavy gun.

he swept past looking at the bike. Point of impact wasnt exactly just the hit to the rocks. he saw the side of the tire laying apart. the bike separated by the crash. the bike was nothing left except pieces. the night air blew through Leo he shuddered and thought to himself.

He traced where the feet marks were coming up to the crash thinking to himself.

"what the fuck would they do now'. 'and who had been after Nick'. he looked over at the trees sitting down on the side. what had nick been doing'? he wasnt hired for the night so it wasnt anything for work so what happened'?

he went walking down the mostly deserted bridge. out here in the country the running wisconsin river flowed past teh banks below the bridge a nice older bridge that had the overhang still. he was surprised this bridge was still here though cause of the rocks he thought it would of been torn down. he felt his way down along the bridge. fuck i hate bridges he thought. he didnt feel safe at all up here he was paranoid beyond all hell about this. he saw a red car zooming from in front of him toward this desolate deserted spot. he brushed a hand over his black suit coat and stood in place for a sec.
Hey whats the word asked Jerrica, a blond girl with piercing green eyes. she looked ahead and said oh no not again.
yeah and this Time, Nick. said Leo. "i dont know whats going on, but you might want to decide if we continue our operations some more security detail. So where have you been tonight?
I .she said matter of factly and gave a serious set of eyes. "have been out in Minnesota. the Minnesota Run remember I just got back."

"well thanks to that run their was no one watching over here."said Leo. she brushed a hand through her blond hair and got out of the convertible as a blue Truck pulled up from behind. she followed as he continued toward the other side of the bridge.

"what are you looking for"? she asked she looked at him moving toward the end of the bridge.

"Closure", he pointed to a set of tire marks that had turned to the right and around fast. he moved examining them.

"these". he picked up a piece of burnt rubber. He moved toward it like a cat and examined it. He heard rumbling on the bridge and looked up.

A black truck headed toward them and cane to a stop before the end of the bridge.
a Black haired man about 24 stepped out and headed toward them. He was dressed in a red shirt and blue jeans.

Chilling night. said Han the man. He looked over at Leo who nodded. Leo stood up and walked over.

It's Good to see you. it turns out your little excursion idea was a good idea. said Leo. he shook his head and started back toward his car. the wind blew through his hair. Han followed on his heels.

So thats it then"? Asked Han. he looked at Leo. He nodded and looked over at the body.

"yeah thats it". said Leo. "oh believe me the Patty wagon will be down here". I'll give one hell of a condolensce for Gina. God this sucks".He stretched putting his hand through his hair turning he stepped over to the side of the bridge and looked out at the river. he sat down looking at the water below.

Hey Jerrica check the body for anything suspicious. Han spoke looking over at her, she nodded.

So what did you have Nick doing"? Han looked over at leo and set his arm on the side above Leo.

I had a run for some drugs a usual shipment. we were going to be taking up North to some of our guys up there. let them deal with all that shit you know. keep it the hell out of bridgeport and Parkview.

yeah. problem comes with those other gangs.

problem is that they all want to be some big shot asshole. Leo spoke. they think they can run the streets and do what I do. as much as i try to let them know that they cant be me. they keep thinking they can do what they want.

Its just gang shit. Han spoke. nothing more nothing less. any idea who did it?

I saw something like this a year or so ago with The Ridgeboys. but theyre isnt any signature cuts or marks or anything. he stood up and said follow me.

so I know the Johnstons have been kind of out there on there own for a bit. Has Rafael said anything about any of that?

I dont think its Bill. said Han. they have been relatively peaceful the past few months. nothing out of the ordinary, we had an altercation but the Cold war just keeps going on. everyone keeps to themselves and everyone stays happy.

yeah problem comes in when someone thinks they can be more superior to the other. Leo stood over Nick again. Nah it probably was just a mistake.

He seemed sure. Leo pointed to the mark above Him and the rock had the mark from where he had hit. a blood spot was on the rough part of the sharp edge with scorch marks from where the Bike had hit. Nicks side was charred. his jacket was ruined and Leo spoke again,

"it just looks like a normal accident but then there's the gun shot wound. he probably just got a bit freaked out from another gangster and maybe a misunderstanding took place." Nick had spoke about something going on, before at some of the meetings. he was a bit concerned over a few people and i believe now it is a good cover up or last minute clean up. Some one wanted him bad".

I dont know but Lets just take it easy and wait and see, let them play this out. they will come out of the shadows and show themselves. Said Han.

I need a new driver. The truth of the matter if i cant get some of these shipments that are coming in the next few months my gang is gonna have it harder. a lot of people cant do what Nick was able to do for us.

Han nodded thinking to himself. I could come back if you want". Im not the Driver but i am a damn good enough driver and maneuverable piece".

you cant do it on your own. I have a Merc coming out from Ridgeway. Leo spoke. he looked at Han then grabbed a pipe from his pocket. he lit some tobacco from a bag into it and took a good strong drag.

"ok so are you good then"? Leo shook his head. Han gave him a look  and spoke, SO  What can i do to help ya then?

Get me another driver that has some skills. then we Talk. I need precision and alot of the Fire that Nick had. said Leo. I understand there is only so much you can do so I have a few people in mind. Jerricas taking on a bit more as well.

I got  a driver. said Han. I am 80 percent sure about it. this will become one of the best people on your side.

Leo smiled and shook his head. "Nah man i got it", Han shook his head and pointed to the Rock.

People are already weeping by some of the decisions that have been made. I got this and i promise no backlash".

He sighed and nodded.

"Fine but if something happens it's on you. I don't want to be responsible for the next one". Said Leo.

"I got all the responsibility". Said Han.
