“What is it?”Leon asked him.
“There’s an army and it looks like it’s heading this way.Damn and we expected a nighttime attack.Fuck!”John looked down at his smart phone screen to see a line of vehicles coming up the mile long driveway toward the estate.He squinted then his eyes widened.“Military Humvees?”
“Yes!”Tony shouted from the front window.“Literally SWAT tanks.”
“Motherfuckers are gonna storm the gates,” John swore.
Meena came out with an armful of weapons.
He swiveled his gaze over to her.“What the fuck are you doing?”
“I got into the armory.”
John was stunned.“But that was locked!”
Meena beamed at him.“I can pick any lock, you silly man.”
He opened his mouth to argue.
“We needed more weapons!”She knelt and dumped them onto the floor carefully.
Evelyn came down the stairs.She stared at the weapons then swung her gaze to her daughter who had two pistols holstered to her hips and she held a machine gun.“W-what the...?”
Leon looked displeased at his daughter as he stormed over, but he opted not to comment.“John, report,” he ordered.
John handed him his phone and then went to the pile and took out a sniper rifle.He gazed up at Meena and said, “We’ll need ammunit—”
“Got it!”Meena turned to grab a box from beside the table with the flower vase on it and while grunting from the weight, she managed to drag it over.Then with a smirk, she stood upright and kicked at the box.“Done!”
Leon shouted from where he stood while peering at the smart phone, “The fuck, they are heading for the gates.”
John slipped up to one of the windows on either side of the double doors to see a huge metal vehicle with a ramming bar across the hood.It raced at high speed and exploded through the rod iron gates.“Fuck!Duck and cover.”
Leon huffed but set the phone on the flower table and pulled his two favorite guns from his vest.
John turned from the window.“They just ran through the gates and men are pouring out of—”
Bullets started to rain up against the house.
“It’s okay,” John called out.“The windows are bulletproof.”
Meena stepped over, grabbed the phone up, and stared at the screen.She ran over to John, grabbing his arm.“Everyone fall back!”She tugged at John’s arm as she yelled.Exasperated, she lifted the phone to his eyes.
John stared at it.“Fire in the hole!”he shouted as he now pulled Meena away.“Head to the living room!”
The men all rushed toward the main room, away from the front.
Leon and everyone else ran into the main room to duck behind the couches.
“It’s a rocket launcher!”Tony shouted from somewhere in the room.
The front of the house exploded as glass, metal, wood and debris flew everywhere.The sound was deafening.Dust and smoke drifted out as the explosion reached the main room, spitting debris everywhere.
Covering their heads, the entire group knelt on the floor while hiding behind furniture.The ceiling buckled and scraps of sheetrock rained down on them.
Screams could be heard as some of the security men were hit with glass and wood.
“I spoke to the Don in Sicily,” Leon finally broke the silence.“And told him what was set to happen.”
