Holy shit.
“…Dario,” I said, “when we get there, what’s the plan?”
“There are a bunch of black Cadillacs parked out front. I want you to drive past them up on the sidewalk and crash through the doors of the hospital.”
My eyes widened, and I glanced at Lars in the rearview mirror.Really?
Lars looked grim, but he nodded. “You heard him.”
“Alright,” I agreed.

Inside The Hospital
As I entered the stairwell, I realized that this would be one of the places Rosolini’s men would guard –
So I grabbed two of my guys, Guappo and Nasone, and pushed them ahead of me.
Guappo struggled as though to protest –
So I pointed my pistol at his skull.
He turned pale, but he got the idea:
Go first or I’LL shoot you.
Guappo and Nasone started up the steps. I crept along a few feet behind them, my Beretta aimed above their heads.
They reached the second floor when gunfire started raining down.
Guappo got hit in his bulletproof vest –
While Nasone took a bullet in the head.
Both tumbled to the floor.
I fired up into the stairwell –
And saw the wall far above me get spattered with red.
“COME ON!” I snarled as I dragged Guappo back to his feet and forced him in front of me. He was barely walking, but I didn’t need him to fight –
I needed him as a human shield.
Another fucker in a black suit fired down over the railing –
But he hit Guappo instead of me.
I fired back and killed the asshole.
Guappo sank to his knees with a wet choking sound. He’d been shot in the throat. Bright red blood gushed out on the floor.
FUCK –
That’s two of our guys down!
