We strolled up to the building complex owned by The Purple Heart Gang. Everything was a go, the 5 of us would walk in and begin shooting, we'd take them off guard and when it was all done we'd burn the building down. We had Frank get us into contact with an arms dealer selling army surplus goods named Phil. Phil was a veteran and as such had connections in the army. Using these connections he could get weapons, ammo, anything really and would sell it on the black market here in New York. Phil sold us a couple of BAR's along with truck loads of ammo.
We approached the building and before we could even step in gunfire erupted. They knew we were coming, but how? Was there a rat among us? We quickly took positions and began shooting back, bullets whizzing past us and people being hit everywhere. While they did outnumber us, we had the better guns and eventually were able to take control of the lobby. We worked out way up each floor in a systematic fashion, shooting every gangster in sight. Finally we reached the top floor and were right outside 's door. We heard moaning. We burst right in and I couldn't believe my eyes, Nicole right there in bed with Jack Connery. I was devastated.
"How could you?" I said angrily.
"I.. let me... Joey.. I'm sorry" she said, slowly reaching for something under the sheets, she pulled out a gun.
"It's just the way the cookie crumbles, I loved you but I loved money more and offered me a lot of it" she said
"You don't have the guts toots, now put down the gun" I said
She fired a shot but it merely grazed my shoulder and almost instantly Nicky fired a few back at her killing her.
"Look guys, let me make you an offer, money? Power? I'll skip town, just let me live" said Jack nervously.
"Fuck you" I shouted
We unloaded our entire magazines into him and went outside to grab our jericans and began to pour gasoline everywhere, we then lit the match and drove off. Jonathan had a friend over in Los Angeles and had told us he would take care of us and we laid low until this whole thing blew over. We went back to the bar to grab our suitcases and Vinny and drove to the train station where we boarded a train headed for Los Angeles, California.
When we got out we were greeted by a man.
"Are you Joseph Abruzzo?" He asked me
"Yes, I am" I responded
"Ah, I'm here to pick you up, Mr. Cohen is eager to meet you" he said, referring to Micky Cohen, the biggest gangster on the west coast and a friend of Jonathan's.
"Hey, I heard the broads here are something else" said Nicky.
"Don't worry, you can have all the broads you want" said the man.
We got into the car and drove off. Los Angeles is a beautiful city and we knew we were gonna like it here.
