THE AMERICAN DREAMA short chapter.
CHAPTER 3 - DAMN.
DON Mazzo walked across the street, heading for the grocery store. He was already 62, about time he stepped down. Mazzo sighed to himself. he has been don for almost 23 years, survived countless hits, and now, after all of that, his only son is too young to take his spot. He stepped into the grocery shop.
"Al, welcome in. You want some of the apples?" The shopkeeper asked, with a smile.
"Oh yea, get me a bag of apples." Mazzo said, as he took a seat. 2 blocks down, Jacky, Toni and Kelvin were headed to meet the Don, after Frankie managed to get information that a possible hit on the don would happen today.
A black car parked in the alley beside the grocery shop. Two men stepped out from each side, with their hands in their overcoats. They walked towards the grocery store.
"There! those guys! god damn!" Toni shouted, pointing towards the four men heading towards the grocery store. Kelvin hit the breaks, and they quickly sprinted towards the four men. The don watched as his sons ran towards him, guns drawn. Something was wrong. The four men appeared from the window, and they unleashed their tommyguns. The bullets sprayed through the windows, straight into the Don's body. From behind, Toni shot down two of the men, while Jacky dealt with the other two. Jacky rushed into the grocery store, while Kelvin and Toni stood guard outside.
"Papa, Papa, wake up!" Jacky shook the don's body. He looked to the shopkeeper, and ordered him to get the ambulance. More gunshots came through the grocery shops' windows. Toni and Kelvin ran inside.
"We gotta go!" Toni screamed to Jacky.
"What? and leave pops here to die? what kind of a son are you, mother fucker?" Jacky shouted back.
"If we dont leave, then the don's only sons will die as well. You want that to happen?" Toni countered back. Al, with whatever remaining life he still has left, pointed towards the backdoor, gesturing for them to run. Jacky looked towards his two brothers. He wasnt about to leave his father here to die. He did'nt know what to do. Finally, he took off and ran into the backdoor, followed by the two other boys. From behind, they heard more gunfire.
