Page 56 of Teddy Sinatra: Go Your Own Way
“No,” Denny said. “I wouldn’t let him in on something that good. Besides, he liked the Sinatras. We were never on the same page. When Renardo gave us the blueprint to attack your safe house, we took Vivian, in case we needed his services again, and we took Potter Rarsi out. I did that part.”
Marco frowned. “What do you mean you took him out? He survived.”
Denny seemed genuinely surprised.
“Potts was shot,” said Teddy, “but Doc says he’s gonna make it.”
“That’s how you found me? Rarsi told you?”
“When Potts said D,” Teddy said, “we assumed he meant Denardo. But it didn’t matter. Both of your asses were involved. Denardo brought us to you.”
“And you’re going to take us to the money man,” said Mick. “Who is he?”
“I never met him. I only worked through his middleman.”
“Who’s that?”
“Josh Lingus.
They all looked at each other. “Never heard of him,” said Mick.
“Wait a minute,” said Teddy, and they all looked at him. “Does this Josh have a woman?”
“Yeah. Caitlan somebody. Why?”
Nikki looked at Denny. “Caitlan Downs?”
“Yeah, that’s the name. Her old man’s the middleman. They live in this regular house in the suburbs like their ordinary people. Ordinary hell.”
“That’s why she bumped into you at the bar,” said Nikki. “They probably were going to try to take you down then.”
Teddy nodded. “Maybe so,” he said.
“Who are these people?” Sal asked.
But Teddy needed to be sure. “Give us the address,” he said, Denny did, and then Teddy stood up. “I know’em,” he said.
Then it was Mick’s time.
Denny was the point man to murder his children.
There was no getting out that alive.
But Denny wanted no parts of Mick’s brand of justice. He adroitly grabbed Marco’s gun and turned it on himself. But Mick shot him before he could shoot himself. Mick shot him until he emptied every bullet. It was overkill and even Mick knew it. But in his mind, Denny Bengino deserved every shot. He came for Mick’s children. He brought it all on himself.
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
They didn’t play nice. As soon as they arrived at Josh Lingus and Caitlan Downs’ residence, they bust the front door down with a battering ram. Josh, who was seated on the sofa, immediately grabbed his gun and attempted to fire. But Teddy fired first and took him out. Mick finished him off.
Then Caitlan, who was in the kitchen, quickly ran out of the kitchen and began running down the hall.
“There she is!” Nikki said as she, Teddy, and Mick took off down the hall too.
But as soon as Caitlan made it the door of the room at the end of the hall, presumably the master bedroom, a gunshot blast sounded that hit Caitlan in her stomach so violently that she sailed backwards.
“Shit!” Teddy said as he pulled Nikki back and they and Mick took cover in one of the side rooms. They wait for more shots to come, but none came. Mick and Teddy look at each other.
“We’re going in,” Teddy whisper to Nikki. “Cover us.”
