XXIX: I want out

⏮Rewind

Willie stood in his office, drinking whiskey. Replaying his plan in his head. Excited to see their shocked faces once it becomes a reality. He wanted to see everyone crash and burn while he watched on the sidelines. He wanted well... power.

Making Leia and Pete believe they were on his side was just part of it. He will have them do the dirty work while he just sits and watches.

He went to his bookshelf, and pulled a book down. This revealed a secret passage. He walked down it going to a secret vault with an eye lock. Once he opened the vault and there in the very center was a single bullet and a gun sitting on display in the very center of the room. Just waiting to be loaded and fired.

Willie didn't dare touch it because he was waiting for the perfect moment to fire this very bullet at a certain someone.

"Soon, very soon."

He left the bullet and the gun in its place and left.

***

"You hate him right?"

"Why would I hate him? He hasn't done shit to me."

"He's made you feel like an idiot over and over and over again"

"I think you're talking about yourself"

Suddenly Willie swiped everything off his desk in frustration.

"LISTEN HERE M. KILLING HIM IS THE NEXT PHASE OF THE PLAN. IF YOU DON'T TAKE THAT GUN FROM LEIA YOU WILL NOT ONLY DISAPPOINT ME BUT YOUR SISTER AS WELL."

"You think I give a fuck about my sister? Fuck no. She's just a gold digger who chose a fucking rich trafficker who only cares about her body over her own family"

SLAP

"DON'T FUCKING TRY ME M OR I WON'T STOP WITH JUST ONE SLAP!"

"Why do you want him dead anyway?"

"With him dead that makes a gateway for me"

"What's in it for me?"

"What do you want?"

"I want out"

"Out?"

"Yes out."

"Why?"

"Why? WHY? Willie I don't want this life. Nor do I want it for my sad excuse for a sister but that's her decision. But I want out of this crazy ass world you've been living in all your life. I just want my old life back"

"You're fucking crazy if you think I'm letting your sister out of this life. Wherever I go she goes. She won't be able to survive even if she tried. You want your debt back too?"

"Willie you know what I mean. Yes I want to be financially stable but I can't live my whole life doing the things you do. I want out"

"Ok then. Deal"

"Deal."

***

"Why do we do what we do?"

What do you mean, Leia?"

"We're in the mafia Pete, why are we in this life?"

"We were born into it hun."

"I know but I want a normal middle aged life. Where we can wake up without having to go to a meeting. Where we can go to bed without treating our wounds from missions. And where we don't have to live in fear all our lives..."

"Well when you put it that way..."

"I want out, Pete"

"I know Leia I do too"

***

Willie was facing both Pete and Leia who had just told him they wanted out of this life just like M. Which was fine because he didn't really need them anyway. Except for one thing.

"Since everybody wants out and I want in, are you guys up for one last kill?"

"Why would we do that for you?"

"Y'all know what I want. Power."

"What makes you think killing him will gain you that power?"

"Once he's gone everything will be much easier for me and you. You're not only doing this for me but for yourselves"

"So let me get this straight. You want us to kill him so you can gain power and grant us permission to get out of this life"

"Not only out of this life but with financial benefits, new identities, maybe a new car i don't know"

"Okay deal. We wish you the best in the future."

"Likewise."

***

"Willie I need to talk to you."

He rolled his eyes and took a sip of his whiskey.

"What do you want, woman?"

"Well, I heard that you were letting Pete, Leia, and M go after you kill him and i-i"

"Spit it out"

"I-i was hoping that y-you'd l-let me g-go t-too"

Willie started laughing hysterically.

"No."

"What?"

"I said no. I need you by my side while this whole thing plays out and you will do as I say in the process"

"What makes you think I will obey you?"

"BECAUSE. Because you need me. You can't live without me. Without me you'd be lying dead in an alleyway. You NEED me to survive and we both know that. You and your brother are both money seeking sluts."

"I don't need you"

"Really? What makes you say that?"

"I survived all those years before you and I can do it again."

"Surviving by spending all of daddy's money? Surviving by being almost a million dollars in debt?"

"If you call that surviving then be my guest 'survive' we both know you won't last"

As much as Aim wanted to deny it, Willie was right, she wouldn't last in the real world on her own. She's always relied on others for her financial needs, same goes for M.

"Fine. I'll stay."

"I knew you would. Now go get out of my sight"

Aim began walking up the stairs.

"Wait."

"What is it?"

"Go into the playroom and wait for me. You need to be punished for thinking you could leave me."

"O-okay."

"Good girl."
