Page 55 of Teddy Sinatra: Go Your Own Way
“There’s that motherfucker,” Mick said, and they all looked out of that windshield. And there it was, that dark grey Infiniti QX60 SUV, speeding around another corner. But Mick was right on his tail and sped around that corner too, forcing Reno to complain some more. But they had him.
And when he ran into a dead end street and turned into what looked like an old, abandoned restaurant parking lot, Mick sped right behind him, hoping to trap him in.
But as soon as Mick drove around back, he suddenly realized he was the one being trapped and it was all a part of Bengino’s plan. Because as soon as he drove back there, a group of capos came out of the back of the building and began firing on the Escalade. But to their shock, Mick didn’t cower and began backing back trying to get away from there. He, instead, floored the gas pedal and ran right into the men. Some of them he was able to knock into the air and then run them over, while Teddy, Nikki, and Marco, and Reno and Sal turned their attention to the remaining gunmen as they began firing on the men at every angle.
And when Denny, seemingly realizing his scheme had backfired, tried to turn his SUV around and get out of the back of that building, Mick would have none of that. He floored his Escalade again and ran dead smack into the Infiniti, causing it to slide sideways until it crashed into a side wall and stalled.
As Denny and Vivian began climbing out of the SUV’s windows, Mick, Teddy, and Marco got out of the Escalade and began running for the two perps since they were who they wanted. Nikki and the Gabrinis were all still shooting it out with the remaining gunmen, providing cover as the others ran down Denny and Vivian.
Vivian and Denny made a hard run for it, but Vivian made the mistake of stopping, and then turning around ready to fire. Marco was closest to him, and would have had to kill his best friend or be killed, but Teddy, seeing it, fired first. Teddy took Vivian out for Marco.
Marco looked back at his father and stumbled, but he knew the job wasn’t finished. He stepped over Vivian, purposely stomping him as he did, and ran after Denny.
Denny was still running hard, and he managed to get as far as the front of the old building, but Marco was younger and stronger and ran him down. When he made that last leap at Denny, he knocked him down and fell on top of him. Then he rolled him over, Teddy ran up and straddled Denny with his body, and put a gun to his temper. Then Mick made it up to the three younger men.
Mick knelt down beside Marco as Teddy questioned Denny. “We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t know everything that’s already happened,” Teddy said. “Now I need to hear it from you. Why did you do it?”
When Denny went to open his mouth, Mick sat his shoe on it. “One lie and I’ll shove my foot up your mouth and your ass. And then I’ll really get to work on you.” Then Mick removed his shoe.
By now, Nikki and the Gabrinis had finished off the gunmen and ran around front to assist Mick and Teddy. But when they saw Vivian dead and Denny pinned to the ground, it was clear they needed no assistance.
“Why?” Teddy asked Denny again.
“Money. Big money. Millions.”
“What you so starved for money for? I never heard of Bengino’s organization in financial trouble.”
“But I am.”
“What’s your poison?”
“Drugs. I sold plenty last year for this cartel, but I came up short this year when I used as many as I sold. And I couldn’t get the money turned over fast enough to risk my death by cartel. So I went to my supplier. He wouldn’t give me drugs, but he’d give me money if I did a job for him.”
“What job?” Mick asked.
“Provide the men to take out your kids,” Denny said. “I got with Denardo, and he took it from there.”
“How much was this supplier willing to pay to take out my children?”
“Twenty five million dollars.”
“Damn!” said Marco.
“All after the job is completed.”
“And when you didn’t complete the job?” asked Teddy.
“I had to try and try again. But all my guys had been killed that I relied on, and then you started picking off the ones that were helping me coordinate.”
“Including Potter Rarsi?” Nikki asked. She needed to know once and for all if he was involved.
A look of hatred came into Denny’s eyes. “He was a has-been that my old man had all this faith in. I should have been boss. But he conned my old man into elevating him. Then he tried to con my old man into elevating Teddy. But I knew, if I took out his siblings, my old man wouldn’t trust him to run his hair dryer.”
“I thought you said you did it for the money?”
“I did. And to discredit Teddy too. That’s why the guy came to me. He knew I hated the Sinatras.”
“Was Potter Rarsi involved?” Nikki asked again.
