The next morning.... The Blackwood estate, a symbol of grandeur and authority, awoke to a new day, but the echoes of last night’s violence lingered. In the breakfast room, sunlight streamed through the large windows, casting a warm glow over the opulent surroundings. The long table, covered in fine china and gleaming silverware, seemed almost serene in contrast to the turmoil that had unfolded. Edwin Blackwood sat at one end, his expression inscrutable as he methodically ate his breakfast. He was preoccupied, his mind still grappling with the shock of the previous night and the weight of the decisions to come. Herbert Blackwood, the patriarch of the family, entered the room with a measured pace. His demeanor was calm, but the sharpness in his eyes betrayed his awareness of the gravity of the situation. He took his seat at the head of the table and surveyed his family with a composed but stern look. The room fell silent as everyone settled into their places, the usual morning chatter
As the sun set, Herbert called for a meeting at his office and only invited Marcellus, Oswald, and Edwin. The three men walked to the office and shut the door."Father." Marcellus muttered, his gaze fixated on Herbert Blackwood who sat behind his desk with a cigarette in his hand."I already sent a message across to Noah Sturridge. I asked him to meet us at the Stanford abandoned parking lot for a meeting about the business he proposed." Herbert informed, smoke oozing out of his mouth."That's good. We will head there and abduct him. He won't suspect a thing." Marcellus spoke up."No, you are wrong, Marcellus. Noah works for the Gambino. I don't know what role he has in the Gambino gang, but as long as he works for them they will always have his back. And now that we are inviting him for a meeting the Gambino might want to escort him. And we all know if the Gambino gang is present there and we try to capture Noah there would be trouble." Oswald remarked, his voice audible."So, what a
The three men stepped out of the mansion in their black coat and suits and bowler hats on their heads as they made their ways to the black Bentley waiting for them. They got into the Bentley and Marcellus sat in the driver's seat. The rest of the men got into a tuck behind the Bentley with guns in their hands."Is everything set?" Marcellus questioned as he placed a pistol in his belt and loaded his Thompson gun with bullets."All set. Let's go." Oswald affirmed.The engine was started and they drove off instantly. The cars drove through the dimly lit deserted street as they made their ways towards the abandoned Parking lot. They drove for several minutes until Marcellus pulled over in the middle of a street and shifted his gaze towards Edwin who sat behind him."This is as far we can go. You will have to get to the parking lot by foot to avoid any suspicions." Marcellus declared.Edwin nodded before pushing the door open and stepped out of the car."Remember to stall him by talking
"What's with all these questions, boy? We are here to talk business and not who I'm working with." Noah voiced out, anger evident in his voice."You see, the gang you are working with are our enemies. And we don't do business with our enemies." Edwin remarked, maintaining the same calm tone."What are you talking about? If you don't want to do business with me why then was I invited here?" Noah questioned.Before Edwin could reply, the whistle of Marcellus was heard from behind which made both of then turn around. Turning around, Noah saw for men black suits and coats, with hats on their heads, emerge from the shadows and made their ways towards him.They were all armed, and the looks on their faces were fierce."We scanned the whole area, he came alone." Marcellus informed as he walked towards the duo."What's going on here?" Noah voiced out in a demanding tone, and his heart racing."We didn't invited you over here to take business, Noah. We know you work with the Gambinos, so we I
Hearing the words of Marcellus, Herbert's eyes widened in shock and he shot up from his seat."What do you mean he was shot?" Herbert voiced out, his voice filled with anger and concern."Calm down father, Edwin is okay. We rushed him to the hospital and the doctor said he is going to be okay. So calm down." Marcellus affirmed, and a slight look of relief appeared on Herbert's face. "Tell me what happened. Tell me everything and leave nothing out." Herbert demanded as he sat down on his seat."When we arrived at the parking lot Edwin went to meet Noah just like we agreed. However, when he got there two men hidden in the shadows came out of hiding instantly and shot him in the stomach. They were Gambino boys. I alone had to charge in to protect by brothers. I alone defeated both of them." Marcellus narrated."That's very brave of you." Herbert commented after hearing the words of Marcellus, and pride evident in his eyes. "I'm proud of you, Marcellus." He added."That's what happens wh
The sounds of gunshot reverberated throughout the pub, and the rest of the men and women who came there to drink and have fun hid underneath their tables to avoid getting shot.Oswald took cover behind a wall as he kept firing his revolver towards the armed men. The men in black also shot at him."Shit." Oswald cursed as he attempted to shoot but realized he was out of bullets. He shifted his gaze towards the chair he once sat in and noticed his black coat on it."Fuck. My bullets are inside the pockets of the coat." Oswald pondered, his gaze fixed on the coat a few meters away.He shifted his gaze towards the men, and immediately he did, the men shot at him and swiftly hid behind the wall.He took a deep breath in and out before dashing towards the chair. As he ran towards it, they kept shooting at him but he was lucky enough for the bullet not to hit him.He finally arrived at the location of the coat and he swiftly hid behind the table. He is his right hand into the pocket of the c
Oswald's leg connected neatly with the man's face, and the force behind the kick lifted him off the floor, and sent him crashing several meters backwards.The man landed in front of his fellow comrades and passed out instantly. Khalid had a look of disbelief etched on his face after watching Oswald knock his comrade out with a single kick in the head.The remaining two men hesitated to charge in for another attack, and they just stood there with their gazes fixed on their fallen friend.Khalid noticed the men weren't doing anything other than stand there like a bunch of cowards, so he voiced out angrily."What are the fuck are are you doing? Go take him down!" Khalid spat, his voice filled with anger. "After all, he's just one guy!" He added.Hearing the words of Khalid, the men regained their confidence. They shifted their gazes towards a table and grabbed a bottle.They smashed the bottle on a table and held the lower half that had a sharp end. Without wasting anytime, they charged
Edwin was placed in the ambulance gently and the nurses and doctors swiftly got inside so they can begin their journey to the hospital. Oswald also attempted to step into the ambulance, however, before he moved, he caught sight of one of the bullet of the men that had just attacked them lying there on the floor. He bent down and picked the bullet up to take a closer look at it. "What the hell?" Oswald exclaimed internally with his eyes widened after examining the bullet. He glanced at it for a few more moments before placing it in his coat pocket and got into the ambulance. The doors were shut and the ambulance drove off. The ambulance drove through the streets with its siren blaring, disturbing the whole neighborhood. After several minutes of driving, it finally pulled over in the compound of the hospital. The nurses and doctors swiftly got off the ambulance and brought out Edwin in the stretcher, and without wasting anytime they began to take him inside. They made sure th
