Chapter 23: Vengeful
"How do I look? Am I as much of a mean motherf-cker as Natalie?" Emily asked her friends.
"I think so," Natalie smiled in a newfound appreciation of this girl.
"See how much she loves you?" Jessica asked her sister.
"I see," the gentle giant nodded in understanding and grateful that she hadn't pulled the trigger.
Natalie returned to her trusty black leggings, red t-shirt, and green bandana in a Christmas theme. This was a new start for her as she, in a message only Emily understood, accepted Emily as the new leader of the team and humbled herself. Jessica and Emily had to stop themselves when they saw how badly injured Natalie really was.
These subliminal messages meant a lot to the two cousins although to the rest Emily was making a terrible fashion statement of some sort. Before the pain forced her to sit down again, Natalie hugged Emily tightly and thanked for the helpful words before. Emily smiled and stepped out of the van with a multitude of emotions running through her, so she ordered the men to just move along so they cold rush the building.
"Don't go," Jessica grabbed her father's arm.
"Let him," Natalie pulled her off.
"What if he dies?" the daughter openly worried.
"I'll be fine," Manny Napolitano encouraged his younger daughter.
As the attack crew walked toward the restaurant, Natalie still armed herself and strolled outside the van to protect herself, Felicia, and her sister. This was very difficult to accept, but she trusted Emily despite her personal qualms. But Jessica was very bitter.
"You don't even love him!" Jessica accused Natalie of being heartless.
"Who?" Natalie asked for context.
"Dad! You let him go off and possibly die?!"
"Jessica, you really think I will just drop everything and do something for someone who has done nothing for me except f-ck my mother to create me?! Then you're ridiculously stupid. You're fine with your cousin but not your father out there?!" Natalie was disgusted and hurt by this.
Jessica didn't know what to say. Natalie had a very, very good point that she had no obligations to someone who she only genuinely met a week ago. That statement made Natalie seem more understandable in her eyes. Natalie had to struggle with maternal lies, newly discovered paternal abandonment, and all the dangers they had been facing during the last week.
"I'm sorry, Natalie," Jessica apologized.
"I'm sorry, too. I'm just a f-cking toy that acts like a douchebag 24/7," Natalie responded bitterly and despondently.
"Natalie Woodward, you are not a f-cking toy even if mobsters treat you like one," Felicia interjected authoritatively.
"What do you want?" Natalie snapped.
"My brother is in there. I spent 6 months being nearly non-stop g-ngb-nged, but I still know I am not a f-cking toy even if those a--holes used me as one all that time. We're still people," Felicia explained while fighting the urge to cry, "Even if the memories torture us forever."
That was a horrible thought indeed. Natalie and Felicia stared at each other, and Natalie's eyes both gave and received intense psychological pain from Felicia's. They nodded and bumped fists before Felicia went back into the van in case an emergency driver was needed.
"Down! Everyone keep their hands visible!" Emily yelled as she stormed into the kitchen.
"No dumb moves, and you just might live another 10 more years!" Nick added.
"That's it! You three, lie down on the floor!" Emily ordered a group of three workers.
"MOVE!" Manny reiterated her commanded.
Emily took zipties and bound the men's wrists and ankles and hogzipped them. Strips of duct tape provided adequate gags. Before standing up, Emily gave each of the men a spank on the rear because Jessica wasn't here to do so herself. But business came before pleasure.
"You two lie down on counter!" Frank ordered two others.
"You handle these other three!" Emily ordered her uncle, "Nick, cover me a second."
"Smart approach," Nick stayed behind her to guard both her and the kitchen.
All the other workers were also hogzipped. although Natalie's father had police style cuffs on his personage. Likewise, all got a mixture of tape and cleave gags. Soon, all the employees were completely incapacitated. It was but one step though.
Emily opened the office door and saw a frightful sight: a man who looked very similar to her Uncle Emanuel. This man was grey-haired and slightly older. He was also balding a good bit, and his grey suit matched his grey beard. This was far from Emily's expectations, and she felt a shiver go down her spine.
"Are you... A Napolitano?" Emily asked.
"I am Agent Romano... Romano N," the familiar voice spoke without emotion.
"The voice on the phone," she said fearfully and losing the confidence she'd had, but she shook it off.
"My backstory doesn't matter, but I am here. Glad to meet my nieces, though."
"Cut the small talk!" she snapped at him.
"When you enter Newark, call me. Say 'Hi' to my big brother for me," he waved his hand.
"That's it?" Emily was dumbfounded.
"GO! You haven't time to waste! Rossi is trying to assemble a new army," he ordered her.
Emily nodded and turned to leave, and she shut the door behind her as she left. Turning to return to her colleagues, Emily realized that time indeed was precious and few. They had to finish their job here and work on blasting the other restaurant.
"Get these people out, stat! Any allies?" she asked Frank.
"None that we see. All are against us," he answered with a grimace.
"Uncle, your brother gives you his greetings," Emily passed the message along.
Manny smiled in some strange sense of relief and acknowledgement. His smile revealed that he knew everything about this "Agent Romano" situation and maybe even the story behind it. That knowledge passed the relief along to Emily, who was full of uncertainty even as she pathetically tried to pull a goon out to the parking lot.
When all were out, Emily dialed the local police tip line that Agent Romano texted to her while she was inside the restaurant. At the same time, Nick and Manny were tossing Molotovs and grenades like candy, especially the ones they tossed into the attic. With that done, another OG had bitten the dust, and the team was on its way to the final one of the city.
Natalie was immensely proud of Emily's newfound self and cautioned her to be careful lest she meet danger. Emily knew Natalie meant well and took the advice to heart. She continued formulating her plans for the second OG raid while Natalie and Jessica planned for the showdown with Rossi. Nick consulted both teams and gave his advice from his years of experience, and father advised his daughters.
In spite of the risks, Emily and Nick would go down into the sewer while Natalie and Frank kept guard. Manny and Jessica would play long distance lookout. With that plus some ingenuity, the sewer cap was opened, and Emily and Nick, armed with flashlights and the bombs, climbed down the ladder.
"Emily," Natalie admitted as her cousin descended, "I actually am afraid of the dark."
"Me too," Emily grimaced and descended into the darkness.
Emily felt a shiver go down her spine as she stepped onto the bottom of the pathway in the sewer. It was a simple and short distance according to what she had seen on the diagrams, but it still was terrifying to be in here. She led Nick in the simple path to the place where they would plant the bombs...
On the surface, Natalie and Frank were patrolling with the Christmas girl nursing her mutilated body with great care while her father sat on top of the van at the exit to the roof hatch. On the other side of a brick wall lay the second and final Rossi controlled restaurant in Philadelphia, and with its destruction lay another financial hit to the mafia front business empire. As they waited to see what would happen, Jessica studied the maps and diagrams that Emily had sourced for this attack.
It should have been so easy; it really should have been. Emily's intent was in the right place knowing that this was one of the toughest mafia strongholds possibly in the country. But someone somewhere suspected something as two mafia Cadillacs came storming down the covert alleyway.
Natalie at the moment had her back to the entrance to the alley and thus was clueless about the vehicles approaching, one which was aiming right for her. It wasn't until Frank grabbed her and dove that she knew that one of the cars had actually been trying to run her over. As they hit the ground with Frank protecting Natalie from the pavement with his own body, Natalie jumped up to defend her sister and Felicia. There were at least double the mobsters as them, but then the worst thing happened.
"Natalie, a bunch of them just went down the manhole!" her father yelled.
"I'm going in! Felicia, radio Emily and warn them!"
With no concern for her own safety, Natalie ran into the open and fired a round at the remaining mobsters and killed at least one of them while nearly getting hit again in her own right. While Natalie knew Emily was right that another hit would be fatal, she had to defend her cousin and Nick at all costs. Another mobster tried to fire down the hole, but Natalie's father riddled him with more holes than Swiss cheese. Unfortunately, the dead man fell into the hole on top of the descending Natalie...
Never in her life had Emily or Nick been so frightened. Even when she was kidnapped Emily wasn't this scared because those circumstances were out of her control. This was different because they were wiring powerful bombs to destroy a mafia establishment, and worse they were, on the fly, reworking the bombs to go off at a given signal. They were carefully checked and double checked, and Emily checked at every step to make sure she was following Nick's instructions.
Timers were too dangerous, they decided, and the extra 10 minutes to set them up to detonate when Emily sent a text to Nick's "burner phone" would be worth it. They had no idea of the danger they were in until they heard someone yell, "Kill them at all costs!" Emily turned off the flashlight, and Nick was now faced with wiring this last bomb by only the light of the drain above them.
Nick was sweating bullets while Emily kept her machine gun at the ready. It was do or die this time, and Nick quickly finished the last connection as a bullet lit up the darkness. Unfortunately, in their rush, Emily slipped and was lost by Nick. She tried to scramble up in order to follow, but it was too late.
At the surface, there was a war zone as Manny, Frank, and Jessica took on the remaining mobsters. Thankfully, due to the location Emily had chosen, it was easy to put up a strong defense, and soon there were mafiosos down on the ground everywhere. Superior weapons in the hands of the fearless Frank Catanzaro provided an almost video game level advantage to Team Emily, and over half the casualties were inflicted by him alone.
What was going to happen to those heroes down in the sewer though?
