As I hear a voice speaking to me, with my hands raise I get up slowly. But then I hear laughing and the talking goes on. I turn slowly around and see the two officers making jokes with one another. I get down quickly before someone spots me. I continue looking for the car.
When I have found the car, I try to open the back door. I jump in the back seat and close the door carefully. I try to look for a key, but I can not find one. I rip out the wires below the steering column, to hotwire the car. Before starting the car, I need to check where the cops are for me to even try and remove the car out of the parking lot.
I decide that the best way would be if I can create a diversion of some sort. If the guard at the gate can be led away, I can get the car out. I duck and dive my way to the second floor, where the cop cars are. I see that one officer is taking out his gear from the trunk and he takes it into the station. While his cruiser is still open, I take my chance and walk to his car.
Just as I'm close to the car, he comes out walking to the car. Just as he gets to the car, he starts patting himself down. Looks like he is looking for something, he turns and walks into the building again. I have my few seconds. I open the door, get to his radio, and put out a distress call over the system;
"Shots fired, shot fired, we have a code 30 - Officer needs help - Emergency, we are on the corner of 6th and main...all units respond"
All the cops run out of the building to their squad cars, lights on, and driving out of the parking lot. The guard left the gate open so that all the cops can get out faster. I run to the car, put the wires together, and the car starts. I put it in gear and start to drive it out. The guard did not even notice that I drove out the gate. I keep on looking in my rear mirror, but all the cops are going in the other direction.
I'm so excited that I got out safely. I'm so chuffed with myself, I put the radio on as hard as I can and sing along to the song that is playing. I park in front of the mechanic shop and honk. They open the garage door, I drive in and get out of the car. The mechanic asks;
"And what is this?"
I look at him and say;
"I am delivering the car for Uncle Paul"
"Sit there, I will call you when I am done, okay"
I take a seat and wait. After a few minutes passed, the mechanic walks over and says;
"It is done, you can take it now"
I get in and drive to Uncle Jimmy's. I get out, walk to Uncle Jimmy and hand him the keys and say;
"Uncle Jimmy, here are the keys to the car. Uncle Paul sends his regards.
Uncle Jimmy get up and kisses me on both cheeks and say;
"Thank you, Ricky. Send my regards to Uncle Paul"
The Gigantello brothers walk in just as I have finished with Uncle Paul. I walk up to them, and Tony asks;
"So, did you do it?"
"You see me standing here don't you?"
"Mr. Wise-ass, let us go to Uncle Paul"
We get to Uncle Paul's restaurant. I walk into the restaurant, I greet a few people that are at the restaurant while trying to get to Uncle Paul. I get to him and say;
"Uncle Paul, it is done as you have asked"
He stands up, puts his arm around my shoulder. He then talks to everyone in the restaurant;
"This guy got Uncle Jimmy's car back from the cops that they stole, give him a fucking drink. Tell us how you did that without getting caught and making the cops look like stupid fucks"
As I am sitting down at Uncle Paul's table, I start telling the story. Everyone stands and listens to every word I am saying. They cheer and laugh at what happened. Uncle Paul hands me one of his cigars and says;
"Here, you have deserved this. Not a lot of people have gotten one of these, but for making the fucking cops look stupid...you deserve it"
I light the cigar and toast;
"Here is to the best boss that anyone can have...to Uncle Paul...saluti"
Everyone says;
"Saluti"
I want Uncle Paul to take all the credit for what I did. I want to be recognized in the family, and by kissing some ass, it could help things along quicker. As we are drinking and celebrating and smoking a cigar. Uncle Paul leans to me and says;
"On Saturday, we have casino night here at the restaurant. I want you to come and meet a few people. Here's your share of today's work.
He takes out a roll of money, takes out thousand dollars, and hands it to me and says;
"Go to the tailor and get yourself a suit for Saturday"
"Thank you, Uncle Paul, I will"
Uncle Paul calls the bartender over and say;
"Give us another round"
Everyone that's standing around us, congratulates me for what I've done. I get up and excuse myself from the table and walk over to the phone. I'm making a call to Tommy Battagilo.
"Hey Tommy, I need a good score. Somewhere I can make cash fast."
"Okay, but you fucking didn't hear this from me. Our crew knows about a shipment of imported whiskey coming into the airport on Friday. They are going to stop the truck and take it all. So, you take the most expensive crates and you leave the rest. But you got to steal it at the airport, you don't want to get caught stealing other crews fucking loot. I have to go now, talk to you later"
I walk up to Uncle Paul and say;
"Uncle Paul, I am working on something. Do we have someone at the airport that can help us with cargo coming in on Friday?"
"I got someone in mind. What do you want him to do?"
"You know that I would tell you if I could Uncle Paul, but I would like to do this on my own. And if it is a setup from my source, then atleast you didn't know anything about it"
Uncle Paul sits back and looks at me and says;
"Okay, I will let Thomas know that you will meet him Friday. Don't fucking get taken in by the cops, you hear"
"Yes Uncle Paul"
