Commit To Violence

Nick and Bobby both nodded their heads.

"Purple fuckin’ Rain?" Black asked in disbelief.

Nick and Bobby both nodded their heads.

"You gotta be kiddin’ me," Black said.

"When Nick told me about it, I remembered Kirk comin’ by Cuisine and askin’ us about PR," Bobby said. "He had already been to see Stark. It was only a matter of time before Kirk put it all together and connected Rain to Nick and then we’d be fucked. It was time to clean up loose ends, and I started with Stark."

"What did you two do to Rain?"

"We were on our way to JR’s to take care of her, but when we got there Blue shot her," Bobby explained.

"Why did Blue shoot her?"

"I don’t know," Nick said quietly and sat down at a table.

"What happened to Blue?"

"Kirk shot him," Nick said.

"What the fuck was Kirk doin’ there—never mind, he probably connected Rain to the robberies. You did the right thing, Bobby."

"Yeah, I know," Bobby said and joined Nick at the table. "How was your night?" he asked.

"My night was interesting. I found out why Kenny was killed and who was behind it."

"You gonna keep us in suspense?" Bobby asked.

Just then, four men burst into Cynt’s firing automatic weapons. Black grabbed his gun and fired back while Nick and Bobby turned over the table they were sitting at and took cover.

The gunmen spread out and positioned themselves around the room and continued firing. While Nick and Bobby fired back, Black pushed a button under the bar. It opened a panel that led to a safe stocked with weapons. Black opened the safe and took out two semi-auto weapons and some clips.

Black loaded the weapons and stood up. He began firing at the gunmen as they moved closer to the bar. He hit one of the gunmen with multiple shots.

"Nick," Black yelled and threw him a weapon before taking cover behind the bar, as the remaining three gunmen fired at him.

Now it was Nick that came up firing, which gave Bobby enough cover to get behind the bar. When Black saw Bobby come behind the bar and going for the safe, he moved to the other end to get a better angle at the shooters.

Nick continued firing and shot the second gunmen. Bobby jumped over the bar armed with two forty-fives and took cover behind the overturned tables. He came up firing.

Black came out from behind the bar and was able to get behind one of the gunmen. With one shot he took out the third gunmen.

The forth gunmen fired shots wildly as he tried to make it to the door and out of Cynt’s. When he turned to run, Bobby went after him. When he turned to fire, Bobby walked toward him shooting with both guns. He went down hard.

"Everybody all right?" Black asked.

"I’m all right," Nick said and looked at Bobby. He stood over the man he’d just shot. The man moved and Bobby put two in his head. "I think he’s dead, Bobby."

"Just makin’ sure," Bobby said and reloaded his weapon.

"Nick, check outside and make sure there’s nobody else out there," Black ordered.

"I’ll go with him," Bobby said and followed Nick to the door. Once he had a look around, Nick came back inside. "All clear out there, Black."

"Anybody recognize anybody?" Bobby asked and looked at one of the dead gunmen.

"I do," Nick said. "These two are Bo’s people."
