The Commission

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt sighed, looking up at Spike.. "yeah... we pulled it off..." he handed the paper over... "found it on one of the large crates... s' kinda intersting who signed off for the goods... no wonder the police where onto us so quick... Mr.Marino seems to have struck quite a deal..."

(congrats on making the 300th post!)

Spike took the paper from Kitt and looked it over. He narrowed his eyes. "These weapons were all for Marino?" Spike said, handing the paper over to one of the guards to look at.

[KittKat chunky~]

"well thats what that means... sure it went through a few other people including Mr.Romano himself but yes... the whole dang lot was for Mr.Marino...." Kitt watched as the guards looked the paper over...

((i didnt even realise xD. .... YAY! 300 posts in the commission!  ))

"Do you think Marino's planning something big? Hmm." Spike looked out the window as the night sky was filled with the distant sound of sirens. "People wouldn't expect much after all, he is the police in this city...But what kind of cop rides around with a rocket launcher?" Spike sighed and rubbed his face. He was tired and all he wanted to do was to see his wife and to put his feet up.

[KittKat chunky~]

"Spike... you gotta family?" the question was unexpected, Kitt looked up at him, flatcap pushed back out of his eyes...

Spike was taken off guard by the question. The wolf guard looked up from the paper at Kristrev then quickly back down at the paper as if he'd heard nothing. Spike paused before he answered. "Yeah. I got my wife and my two beautiful children." He looked at kitt. "I'm way too young to be doing this kind of stuff, Kristrev."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kistrev nodded, staring out of the window, as rain started to lash against the glass... "do they know?.... what you do? what lengths you go to, to get food on the table, heat in the house?"

[Armalite_]

Spike made a face and looked out the window. "Yes...well, no, not exactly." He heaved a sigh. "I'd rather not talk about that." He took off his hat and wiped his face with his hand. "I'm just trying to do what I can for my family in the most desperate times. I had no idea it would lead to this. I used to be just like you, Kristrev. I had a job that earned nothing. I worked in the lumber yards for forty cents an hour. So what if I made a little extra on the side running arrands for the don? I was tired. I was tired of the way they'd would look at me. I was tired of watching my kids grow hungery. I wanted them to have everything I could give them. I wanted them to go to school so they could grow up smart and give them the things I couldn't have." Spike looked overwhelmed. "I've gone way too far with this one, Kristrev. There ain't no turning back niether...way too deep into the rabbit hole." He sat back in his seat and stared out the window at the passing neon signs.

"yeah... i understand... sorry fer... askin' such a, difficult, question boss...." Kistrev sat back as well, sighing, the sidewalk and pedestrians flashing past the window... the car turned off the main road towards the Lombardi compound, rain had started to fall heavily, the driver muttering as the windscreen wipers fought against the onslought of driving water....

Shiro pushed the door and rubble that was laying on him off.
"Damn, who were those nuts! Anyone else here alive? Anyone?"
One of the piles of rubble moved a little. Shiro came over and pulled off the bricks that entombed him on the floor.
"Hey, what happened?" The shell shocked stoad asked.
"Someone hit the shipment! We gotta tell Mr. Gambino!"
"There is... was a phone next to the door."
"yeah, I see it. Can you sit?"
"I'll be ok, but I think I broke something..."
Shiro put the Stoat down and called Mr. Gambino.
"Sir! We saw them! The guys who hit the ship! One of ours is injured and we need someone to come pick us up!"

[Armalite_]

((Good to have you back, Shiro, but people don't have cell phone's in 1946. Also, I don't know if you know this but Spike(Mr. Gambino) is the one who robbed and blew up the place.))

[KittKat chunky~]

((plus, there isnt that much rubble.... the blast was aboard the ship which sunk... the only debris on the piers is all the wounded or dead dock workers  ))


Kistrev watched as the driver of the car pulled to a halt outside the compound, rain was now battering the concrete of the sidewalk, running a craazy tapdance across the roof of the car....

[Alice The Necrofox]

((Heh, glad to be back. First, it's a wall phone, second shiro and the stoat were standing outside, and third, Shiro doesn't know that. He thought that the shipment was Mr. Gambino's. Misunderstanding, but i think i can run with it.))

[Armalite_]

Spike answered his phone. He narrowed his eyes at the one on the opposite end of the call. "Alright, I'll send someone over there." He hung up the phone and looked at the driver. "Did we leave someone behind?" Spike asked. The driver looked surprised and skeptical. "No I don't think so." Spike looked at Kitt. "Let's go." he said, gesturing for Kitt to exit the car. "I need you to go back there and pick up our guys." The driver looked ahead, almost in disbelief in what Spike was telling him to do. He simply nodded. Spike and Kitt exited the car out into the rain and walked towards the compound.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt walked out of the car, flatcap pulled down low against the driving rain towards the compound. He walked in through the main door, pulling off his cap and leaning against the wall, a sigh of relief passed his lips....
