"Would you like to know some real fucked up shit?" Vanessa said while giggling and wiping her tears from her face, but making sure not to let her gun or eyes off Tess.
She knew how fast and deadly Tess was even with nothing but her panties and bra on.
"Have you ever asked yourself how the Asian Mafia kept finding us?" Vanessa said while tilting her head sideways making it look as if she had gone crazy.
"It was you, but why Vanessa?" Tess said with her facial expression balled up and couldn't believe her ears as she stops crying.
"It's like you said Tess, even though we're free from the law now, we stay having to worry about the Asian Mafia, so I made a deal with Su-Wong over two years ago to bring you and the other's in alive or dead, but every time they tried to get the drop on us, they always under estimate you Tess. The funny part is they only want to know who killed Lee and Young, that's the person they want." Vanessa stated.
Tess couldn't believe her ears, nor does she want to. Then her mind flashes back to a conversation she had with Ms. Linda.
'Dear there is a reason why your enemies keep finding us, it's because one of your friends are selling us out.' Ms. Linda's words continue to repeat itself in Tess' head over and over.
"So once I give y'all up I'm free and can do whatever I like, I'm rich young and beautiful. I miss Brooklyn and think I might stay here for a while before I start traveling again. I'm tired of doing contracts." Vanessa said.
"Oh! So it's like That!" Tess replied squinting.
"It's just like that!" Vanessa said as the front door of the Brownstone house was kicked in and a group of Asian Mafia henchmen rush inside, dressed in all black with Uzi's in their hands.
Six of them surround Tess in the dining room while the others ran upstairs searching through the house and a few stood outside guarding the door so there'd be no way to escape. They're cars lined up on the block. Beast starts barking at the six henchmen that surround Tess. One of the henchmen turns from facing Tess and aims his Uzi at Beast.
"You better not shoot my dog!" Vanessa said then looks down at Beast by her side.
"Beast no, they're friends." She said and tries to calm him down.
"Hahahaha!" Tess busts out laughing.
"The dog is more loyal than you and knows who the enemy is." Tess said.
"Shut the fuck up, it's over, Tess don't make any trouble and go with them!" Vanessa shouted while keeping her gun pointed at her.
"You made a few mistakes. I though I trained you better and you could have seen it, but since you don't I'll give you one last lesson and point them out to you." Tess said with a Kool-Aid smile on her face.
"What mistakes? You're caught and done for, it's over." Vanessa said while cocking back the hammer of her 9mm Taurus.
"You're first mistake was setting me up. You're second was underestimating me. I'm always armed even when I'm wearing nothing but my panties and bra." Tess stated.
It took a minute for Tess' words to make sense and seek in Vanessa's brain. When it did, it was too late.
"Oh shit!" Vanessa shouted.
In a blink of an eye Tess had pulled the chain blade whip from her panty line and it extended to 26 inches, as it unfolded. She bends backwards as if she was about to do a back flip while swinging the chain blade whip, moving in a circular motion. The blade slices four of the henchmen in the neck making their necks split wide open and sending blood gushing out. The next henchman tries to back pedal, the chain blade whip went straight across his eyes, cutting one and ripping the other out, sending his eyeballs flying out of the socket. The sixth henchmen steps back just in time, and the tip of the chain blade misses his neck, but sliced his left cheek open.
Vanessa ducks just in time as the blade flew passed her face, but it cuts a piece of her hair. The sixth henchman held his cheek while screaming and aims his Uzi at Tess. Beast leaps up in the air and lock onto his arm.
"Ahhhhhh!" The henchman hollered in pain. "Get this dog off of me!" He yelled in a thick Chinese accent.
"He drops the Uzi and starts punching Beast with his left hand. Beast releases his grip then leaps up in the air once more, pushing the henchman down to the ground. His mouth opens wide and his jaws lock onto the henchman's neck. His mighty jaws squeeze as his teeth dug deeper into the henchman's flesh while shaking it.
"Ahhhhhh! Ughhh!" The henchman screams drown out as Beast pulls out his jugular vein and spits it out.
Tess rolled onto the floor, dropping her blade whip and picks up her P80-Ruger with the extended clip out of its holster.
Vanessa flips the dining room table over and ducks behind it as Tess sent a burst of automatic fire at her. Vanessa lifts her arm high and squeezes the trigger, while staying low behind the table. Tess rolls out into the hallway, as the sounds of gunfire and men moaning and screaming came from above her. She smiled knowing Iris and Layla had killed the henchmen that were upstairs.
Tess looks down the hallway to see that the front door was kicked wide open and more henchmen were running up the front steps of the Brownstone house armed with Uzi's. She squeezes the trigger to her P80-Ruger sending rapid fire into two of their chest. The black Teflon bullets tore large holes into them.
"Ahhh! Ughhh!" They grunt in pain as the bullets rip out through their backs and slams into the face and necks of the henchmen running up on the steps behind them.
Tess quickly turns back her attention to Vanessa, who was still firing at her. Tess stood by the doorway and peeps her head out every once in a while, then fires back.
"You want to know your next mistake?" Tess shouted.
"Fuck you Tess the only mistake I made was not killing you sooner!" Vanessa shouted back while shooting.
"I trained you, so I'll teach you!" Tess shouted back while firing at the front door, keeping the henchmen back then stuck her gun in the dining room and fires at Vanessa.
"Your biggest mistake is, you forgot we're we are bitch! We're not in Europe no more, we're in Brooklyn and you got an army of Chinese gunmen on a Brooklyn street." Tess said while laughing.
"So!" Vanessa said then stops firing as she thought about Tess' words.
Her eyes opened up wide when she fully understood. It's been five years and a few months since she had been in Brooklyn or New York, but growing up in the neighborhood she now knew she should have known better and planned her attack differently. Tess was right, they were no longer in Europe and the rules of the game had change. The streets were full of Chinese gunmen that didn't belong in the neighborhood. The hustlers on the block in the neighborhood first thought would be the Chinese are trying to take over their drug business.
Vanessa's mouth hung open as she figures it all out. As soon as the pieces came together, hustlers on the block came out the four story building from across the street and from Brownstone houses on the block armed with AK-47's and Tec-9mm's and open up fire on the Chinese henchmen and their cars.
Brooklyn's motto is to shoot first and ask questions last. Chaos broke loose in the streets as the hustlers on the block outnumbers and guns the Chinese henchmen down.
"Hahaha! Bitch you forgot where in the hood now!" Tess screamed as she ran into the dining room sending burst of automatic fire into the flipped over dining room table.
Vanessa kicks the table with both her feet with all her might sending the table crashing into Tess. Tess stumbled backwards as Vanessa pops up and run toward the dining room front window on her left, with Beast running by her side. She raised her 9mm Taurus and fired repeatedly, shattering the window. Tess kicks the table away from her and aims at Vanessa's back as Vanessa dives out the window head first and she hits the hard concrete, rolling as Tess bullets flew passed her. Layla and Iris ran down the stairs from the second floor sending bursts of automatic fire into henchmen in the doorway. Their bodies jerk and shook as if they were break dancing as chunks of flesh and blood went flying everywhere. Layla and Iris stop firing once they seen Tess run to the front doorway and kick the bleeding dying men. She bent do
wn and picks up one of their gun's and raised both guns squeezing the trigger simultaneously sending a spray of bullets at Vanessa as she hops into the back of a black Lexus with Beast, that the Chinese henchman was driving. The car speeds off the block along with a few other henchmen cars as they try to escape the hustlers on the block. A group of hustlers across the street stop shooting and just stares at Tess in her sky blue boy shorts and matching bra standing on the stoop firing at the Chinese henchmen's cars until they disappear off the block.
"Damn I think I'm in love!" One of the hustlers said.
"Yea me too!" another replied.
Iris and Layla run down from the staircase to the front door were Tess was at on the stoop.
"Those fools thought they could sneak up on me and Iris, but was sadly mistaking. Where's Vanessa? Is she okay?" Layla asks.
"I don't have time to explain, get dressed and grab your things we have to go." Tess said as she storms passed them and went inside the house.
Iris and Layla follow her lead. Fifteen minutes later they exit the Brownstone house fully dressed with a duffle bag in their hands then gets into a Mercedes Benz as Layla pulls off. Tess presses a green button on a small device in her hand, setting off five fire bombs in the house. She looks back from the passenger seat as the Brownstone house went up in flames.
Coming To Grips With Reality
Chapter 17
"I just can't believe that Vanessa could betray us. I just can't believe it." Layla said while sitting on the cream colored couch, next to Tess and Iris.
"Well believe it. She always seemed like the type to turn her back on us anyway, I knew that bitch couldn't be trusted." Iris said with her facial expression twisted up.
"What do you think Tess?" Layla asked.
Tess could hear them talking but there words came out as a funny sound, as she stood there in a daze. They were in a townhouse in Harlem that no one knew about. It was Bless and her secret honey cone get away. Tess touches her lips with two fingers as if she could almost feel Bless' lips pressed against hers. A flashback consumes her mind. She could feel Bless' strong arms wrapped around her as he lifts her up and spreads her legs and slides deep inside her.
"Tess! Tess!"
"Huh!" Tess said after she snaps out her daze, from hearing them call her name.
"Did you hear what we said?" Iris asks.
"Yea kind of, my mind wasn't really here. See the last time I stepped foot in this house, it was when Bless first came home from prison and we needed a get away from Brooklyn and he asked me to marry him. The place looks the same after all these years." Tess responded.
"Damn, this isn't the time to be thinking about him! Everything is going wrong, we have to stay focused." Iris said while rolling her eyes.
"Listen, I'm always focused and my thoughts of Bless isn't bothering no one but you! This is a very special place to me. The only reason I brought us here, because we're out of safe houses in New York for the moment. I'm done talking." Tess said as she looks at her watch on her left wrist that reads six p.m.
"It's time to get ready." Tess stated then walks out the living room.
"I don't know why you always have to be an ass Iris and say hurtful things. You know how she took the loss of Bless. Then with us being in this house isn't really helping her. Plus her child and yours are held up somewhere by the F.B.I. and Vanessa just crossed us. It's not right for you to throw salt on her wounds." Layla said then stood up off the couch.
"What I do and say to my woman is really none of your business." Iris said as she gets up and stood face to face with Layla.
Iris was 5'6' tall and weighed 160 pounds, mostly thighs and ass. She looked down at Layla who was 5'3' tall and 140 pounds, but her weight was in all the right places. Her long hair was in a ponytail that stopped at her shoulders. Layla's juicy pink lips spread into a grin as she looked up at Iris.
"That's the problem she's not your woman and has never really been." Layla replied and walks away.
Iris grabs her by the arm and squeezes tightly.
"You need to learn to watch your mouth you young bitch. Your mommy Tess won't always be around to protect you." Iris said through clenched teeth.
Layla snatches her arm away out of Iris' grip.
"Don't you fucking touch me; I don't need any one to protect me. You may be a better fighter than me Iris, but I'm the person no one see's before that bullet cracks their skull open!" Layla replied while grilling Iris.
"Is that a threat, you little cunt, because if so we can end this now before you ever get a chance to get your hands on a sniper rifle. I always thought snipers were soft anyway. A real assassin kills up close and personal." Iris said as she places her hand on a knife that was in a hostler on her belt.
Tess enters the living room to see Layla and Iris both in each other's faces.
"You two should be ashamed of yourselves we're not each other's enemies. The enemy is out there that's always hunting us, and you bitches are ready to kill each other. We're sisters. I will not lose another one of you to stupidity. Now come the fuck on and let's get ready!" Tess shouted.
Iris squint her eyes still grilling Layla then following Tess out the living room. Layla giggles as she tucks the small 32. caliber handgun back into her waistband behind her back that Iris hadn't noticed her pull out.
She follows Iris and Tess into a room. Tess enters her master bedroom and she pushes a painting of her and Bless to the side that was on the wall to reveal a digital keypad. She presses in a few numbers and the wall on the far right side of the room opens up to a huge volt.
"This was me and Bless' private stash of weapons. Take what we need for the night." Tess said as they walk into the steel volt that had an arsenal of weapons on the wall and a chrome island table in the center of the small volt with guns laid out flat on it.
Tess opens a draw on the island and pulls something out. Layla and Iris study the object in her hand.
"What is that?" Iris asked.
"It's something I had made years ago by Young. It's a thicker and better version of my blade whip. This chain blade whip, each link is made of razor blades, it stretches 40 inches long unlike my other ones, but there's no hiding this one." Tess said while holding it by the chrome handle and shaking it, by doing so, it unwraps and rolls free to the ground.
"Yea, that is much better than your other blade whip." Layla said as she grabs an all-black 44 magnum sniper rifle, with an extended clip and infrared beam, with a digital scope.
Then she grabs a chrome Smith and Wesson light weight 9mm with a holster. Tess clips the blade whip to the holster on her belt then grabs her twin P80 9mm rugers that shoots three bullets in one squeeze of the trigger, that had extended clips. She stuck the guns in the holster under her arms. Iris' eyes lit up as she grabs a jet black street sweeper Gatling machine gun that had six barrels that shoot twenty-seven 30 caliber bullets in a second. Then she grabs two Heckler 9mm's and stuck them in the holster under her arm.
"Ladies, let's get this over with, one more job closer to getting our daughters back and us out of this lifestyle for good." Tess stated as she looks at Iris and Layla then left the volt.
Most people were more than against having a Mosque built 15 blocks from the World Trade Center, but this was America and there is such a thing as freedom of religion. The Mosque was the color of cream and gold plated. Normally the Mosque was quiet, the Muslim would come and pray, but not tonight the block was barricaded off by N.Y.P.D. police officers in blue uniform. Aamirah was a respected Muslim and businessman. He knew signing a new Peace Treaty with the Jews would not only stop a war that could happen, but also help both sides business wise.
"Are you sure you want to do this, there's been too many threats on your life and tonight you will be out in the open." Aamirah's personal assistant, Saquer said.
"We will be safe Allah is with us, we need this treaty to happen." Aamirah replied in a thick East Indian accent as his dark blue limo was escorted by police officers passing the
barricades and parks in front of the Mosque.
"Everybody get ready and keep your eyes out for the target, the Shadow. He will have a black bullet proof armor face mask on. If what we read in the report is true, he should be as good as us and that means no matter how many hit men are out here right now, the Shadow will be the one to finish off Aamirah." Tess said.
"You said, everybody get ready, shit it's only three of us now, it feels funny as fuck without Vanessa here with us." Iris said and sucks her teeth.
"Listen one monkey don't stop no show!" Tess replied in the tiny two-way receiver in her ear.
"What the fuck does that mean?" Iris asked while laughing causing Layla who was listening to laugh as well.
"It means one person don't stop our show, we can't stop eating or shitting and surviving." Tess replied.
"Yea you're right, but for once I agree with Iris ass, it does feel odd without Vanessa not being here." Layla said into the tiny two-way receiver.
Tess took a deep breath then looks up to the evening sky. She could see thick puffy clouds in the dark sky. It was only seven p.m., but looks much darker letting her know the summer was almost over and that it was going to rain any moment now.
"The rain is about to come down any second now. Layla do your best to spot the target I'm counting on you." Tess said.
"I got you, boss lady." Layla replied.
Layla was on a sixteen story building roof one block away from the Muslim's Mosque. The night sky gave her perfect cover in her all black tight fitting, bullet proof body armor suit, she looks through the digital scope and could see everything clearly.
Tess and Iris blinded on the block of the Mosque. They were dressed in all blue police officers uniforms, with matching blue hats and bright yellow rain jackets, only Layla knew they weren't real police officers. They played the role so well, even stopping to mingle and joke with other N.Y.P.D. police officers on the block.
