Chapter 136:
Exiting ‘The Bar with No Name’ Leo could already tell that he was being followed out. He checked his pockets. Unfortunately, he only had a knife.
Walking out and into the streets of East Harlem, he looked back and saw that four men, each carrying a variation of either a club, a bat, or a machete, were looking right at him. He continued walking ahead, increasing his pace, not wanting to alarm the police car of the motives of either him or the men that were chasing him.
Taking a turn down the street, he had to stop. On the other side of the street were similarly dressed men that were briskly walking their way. Turning around and into an alley, Leo ran at the full sprint at the wall at the end of the alley.
He ran up a few steps of the wall and jumped off of it onto the fire exit. He could see that the men had followed him and ran his way now.
“Get him!” He heard as he climbed up the ladders of the fire escape.
The ladders rattled as he looked down at them, slowly gaining on him. Reaching the top of the exit, he banged his head on the entrance to the building’s roof. It was locked.
Looking down, he noticed the men were only two stories away from him, and he needed to find a way on the roof.
Vaulting over the railing of the top part of the fire escape, he balanced himself as he tried to gauge the distance he had to jump to latch on to the fire escape of the building opposite him.
Seeing that the men were just one story below him, he sent a quick prayer to god and jumped.
He caught the ledge of the fire escape of the opposite building and climbed his way onto the roof.
As soon as he was on the roof, he heard a loud voice saying, “AND CUT!”
Looking around him, on the roof, Leo could see that Will was waiting for him, and he had a wide smile on his face.
“That was a really good shot. You have gotten really good at monkey jumping your way up ladders and across narrow buildings. If not an actor, you would make a really good stunt artist.” Will complimented.
Leo couldn’t keep the smile off his face. He had elected to do most of his stunts and fights in the movie himself, despite Will’s offer to hire stuntmen for him. He had done that in lieu of Robert’s advice. Robert also had elected to do most of his stunts himself, and he wanted to follow in his friend’s footsteps.
“Boss, we have a problem,” Reagan said as he entered the office.
Robert, who was writing in a few documents, sighed, looked up and said, “Did you know, Alfie, that my ex-wife once said those exact words to me. ‘We have a problem’. She said those words to me because apparently, shit wasn’t going according to how she wanted it to. Do you know where she is now?”
Reagan stopped, noticing that the tension in the room was increasing by the second. He could see that Robert was tapping his fingers on the desk as he stood up from his seat. He shook his head and said, “No, sir, I don’t.”
“She’s on the beach, in the Bahamas,” Robert said as he looked at Reagan. “She’s there with her family. I gave her exactly what she wanted.”
“I- I don’t understand, boss.” Reagan stuttered.
Robert chuckled and walked to Reagan as he said, “She wanted to enjoy her life, have fun, enjoy. You know, I too wanted that for sure, but I told her to wait for a while. She didn’t want to, so I sent her and her family to the Bahamas permanently.” He finished ominously, “So, you better say the next few words carefully, Alfie or I will arrange a similar holiday destination for you to enjoy permanently. What is the problem?”
Reagan gulped, and he said, “Sir, T-Tommy Vercetti’s men, t-they...”
“They what, Alfie?” Robert frowned as he brandished his gun.
“S-sir, they torched our warehouse and killed our delivery boys; we had no drugs delivered for the past four days.” Reagan squeaked out.
Silence. His words were met with complete silence.
He watched as Robert took a deep breath, as he continued tapping on his cane, and walked to the cabinet. Robert opened the cabinet and took out a box.
BANG!
There was a loud noise as Robert fired the gun from inside the box, the bullet impacting just inches away from Alfie’s face, and Alfie ducked for cover, checking his body for injuries.
As he looked at the splintered wall, Robert sighed and said, “I want all the men involved in that hit caught. Their families, tailed. If Ol’ Vercetti wants to go to war, We will give it to him. NOW GET OUT!”
“And Cut!”
