Inside The Hospital
Romeo and I drew our guns and raced up the stairwell as fast as we could.
It was a fucking slaughterhouse.
We passed three of our men on the steps – Guappo, Nasone, and Pelato.
Despite their bulletproof vests, they were dead. Two of them had been shot in the head.
On the third-story landing were several deadCosa Nostra,their white shirts turned crimson.
The stairwell door was open and riddled with bullet holes.
Down in the lobby, I heard a giganticCRASHof broken glass, followed by automatic gunfire.
Then nothing.
“They’re coming,” Romeo hissed.

Outside The Hospital
Iaimed towards the right of the last SUV –
And we jumped the curb going 50 miles an hour.
The impact felt like we were hitting a concrete barrier, but the Mercedes kept going.
I was pretty sure the suspension was toast –
But I was also pretty sure my bosses didn’t give a fuck about the suspension.
As the last second, I slammed on the brakes and cut the wheel hard left.
The Mercedes fishtailed –
And we skidded sideways.
I saw our car’s reflection in the mirrored glass doors –
And then we CRASHED through the glass like we were passing through a waterfall.
There was the mirrored glass –
Then aCamorrathug appeared like magic as the ‘water’ parted.
His shocked face stared at us over the barrel of his assault rifle.
He opened fire –
Then the side of the Mercedes slammed into him, and he went flying backwards onto the floor.
Even before we came completely to a halt, Lars leapt out of the car and aimed at the floor –
BLAM BLAM BLAM!
