XVI

A.J. left Marly's Hotel after she called Corbin & broke the news to him that she had changed her mind. Marly elected to withdraw her divorce from Monroe Haus. Once she was  persuaded by A.J. to stay married.

A.J. gave Marly 10K$ in cash & a company fuel & food card. Instructing her to cut up all of her credit cards because she could be traced & tracked with her purchases. 

A.J. told her she should disappear for a couple weeks or even a month. Perhaps take a vacation in the British Virgin Islands?! But without telling anyone about it for her own safety. 

Although A.J. assured her that he didn't expect her estranged husband to be a threat of harming her since she dropped the divorce proceedings.  

But it was prudent for them to take precautious measures. Marly agreed with him wholeheartedly. & She'd welcome & enjoy an extended holiday off the mainland alone.

A.J. told her to go take a room at the Hilton Hotel across Newark form there in the rental car he would have delivered to her. And they would make travel arrangements for her to fly out the first of next week.

"What are you going to do then?!" Marly asked A.J.

"Nothing. Besides Corbin is coralllng me into a goddamn fund raising dinner!--But I will be in Touch with you & we can work out any details. Then main thing is you will be safe & any threats against you will be mitigated & marginalized."

"What about Roe?!--What will you do about him?!"

"I told you--I am not going to do anything.  I am going to wait just like you." (Wait for What?!) "Fate." (FATE?!) "Yea FATE. FATE has a way of resolving such matters as this!"

With that A.J. kisses her atop the head. "Now. You do everything we have discussed & I'll be in Touch!  I have to Run!"

A.J. calls Vito as he is digging for his red  cigarette pack while driving down the road wondering where Robbie & Tommy were with Marly's refueled car.

"Hey V.--(T.?) Where are those Boys with that car?!"

"They just called & said they dropped it off." (Good.) "Anything Else?"

"Yea. Are you yourself Near or Far?" (I'm as near as you need me to be?!) "Good. How about you meet me alone over at Mr Monte's old blue house. Susie-Q says she had him on the books with two containers. We only recovered one from the service station explosion.  (What was in that one?) I don't know. --With every fucking other thing happening we haven't even began to investigate anything about that incident. & It will be goddamn week ago tomorrow too! I still haven't really discussed anything with Neesha yet either. I just feel like it's time to address & do our due diligence now."

"Sure Thing T.--I'm on my way there then." 

(Good Man--CLICK.)

RASSAR & NEESHA MONTE

BLUE HOUSE

A.J. & Vito both arrived at Mr Monte's old blue house at the same time to park on the street.

"Let's take a closer look around this place" A.J. extends his hand to shake with Vito: "So how's it going brother?!' (OK.)

"So what took those two so long to retrieve that car earlier?!"

"You won't believe it T.!" (Try Me!)

"So Robbie drives them to the lawyer's office with a gas-can & funnel to take the car to refill it as you said before delivering it to the hotel." (Yea?)

Well they got the car started & Robbie allowed Tommy to drive it away & followed him to the gas station. (Ok.)

But when Tommy pulled the convertable sport's car up to pump fuel in it a wrecker-trucker pulled up in front of the car to block Tommy in. (Yea?!)

"Yea--So this big motherfucker jumps out of the drivers seat with a 4-way lug-wrench & accuses Tommy of stealing their boss' car!" (CHRIST--What did Tommy say?!)

"Robbie told me that the guy lunged for Tommy & swinging the 4-way over his head.." (AND?)

"And Tommy came "Uncunted" on the Son of a Bitch!" (WHAT?!)

"YEA TOMMY KICKED THAT BIG FUCKERS ASS!" The two brothers stood together in the empty drive-way laughing at the story as Vito attempted to catch his breath to finish. Bending over with his hands on his knees.

Vito looks up smiling at A.J.: "Apparently you don't want to grab that kid by the tail!--Robbie sat he jumped all over this guy & twisted his arm behind his back! Rob said he could hear the shoulder socket pop--then a crack & a second crack as Tommy broke the poor fucker's arm & wrist! And that's all before Tommy karate chopped him in the throat & smashed his face into the driveway! (GODDAMN IT VITO!)

"Oh that's not all!--Tommy asked the passenger if he wanted some of what his buddy just had?!" (NO WAY!) They laugh.

But then Tommy lifted his foot to curb-stomp this fucker whose already flopping around on the ground holding his arm in his own pool of gushing blood from his smashed face. He holding up his hand for Tommy to stop & crying like a bitch!--Robbie yelled for Tommy:

"DON'T DO IT T-3!

LETS GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"

"And so they did! Tommy jumped back into the corvette & backed it away from the pumps in a cloud of ripping & roaring smoke. As he popped the clutch & speed-shifted the car & peeled off rubber leaving two long possi-traction differental Burn-Outs all the way off the lot onto the street with Robbie riding his bumper!" 

"Who Knew? That Tommy was such a fucking Bad-ass?!" (Well he is half Soprano like the rest of us are!) "Yea but Tommy has always been a  pretty calm & mellow cat!" (I'm sure he had plenty of aggression building up over his father's death.--It was just yesterday. & That unlucky fucker lit the wrong man's fuse!) "I fucking guess so V.?!"

"Tommy told Robbie that he & his sister Alyssa were both Black-Belts! Their parents enrolled them in karate classes to learn self-protection as youngsters to combat bullies. T-3 said Alyssa was faster & even more lethal then him."

"I'll be goddamned--And you think you know somebody?! I'd never guess that either one of those two were so capable & well able to defend themselves or inflict such pain."

"Anyway--We aren't getting anything done out here shooting the shit! Let's take another look around." A.J. pulls out a key-chain he lifted off Mr Monte's dead body. 

"Let's see if any of these keys work anywhere around here." A.J. leads Vito to the large garage building's pad-locked doors to try the key-ring to open. & The Last key A.J. tried magically opened the lock & the doors.

"BINGO!--That was easy enough! There's our other missing container!--OK NOW!"

A.J. calls Geno to instruct him to bring the container transport rail-truck to fetch their missing container from Mr Monte's home address to lock in the T-Storage Compound.

RASSAR & NEESHA MONTE

BLUE HOUSE

"So--Now What?" Vito asked. "Do we go inside the house?!"

"Oh--I don't know V?! Who knows what the fuck is inside this dump?!"

"What T.? Are you afraid of something?!" Vito grins with a questioning look.

"What do you mean V?!--I'm not scared of any goddamn thing!"

"OK--Good. Give me those keys & let me see if any of them will unlock the back-door." 

Vito looks over the key-ring & chooses a key that slides in--& turns to unlock the heavy door. "THERE WE GO!"

A.J. smiled:"You are the luckiest fucker Vito! First key you try fits & turns!" (I just picked out the most used key that is smooth & clean!)

"So who goes in first?!" Vito raises an eye-brow. "You or I?!"

A.J. glares at his brother as he pats the Gluck in his vest holster benenth his dress-jacket.

"STAND-DOWN.--I'LL GO INSIDE FIRST! You cover me V!" A.J. pushes Vito aside to enter the dumpy blue house.

"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!" Vito can heat A.J. declare.

"WHAT IS IT T.?!" Vito asked as he followed him inside to discover for himself.

"This goddamn place is a fuck8ng palace inside!" The two brothers laugh together as they took a look around inside. "It smells so good in here too!" Vito points out towards the stocked cabinets in the kitchen pantry! "What's all those colorful bowls of shit?!" (SPICES!)

"DAMN!--LETS GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE V! (WHAT?) "All of this smelly shit is making me hungrey & horney!" Laughing in agreement they hear Geno arriving & the "BEEP--BEEP" of the container-transport truck backing up into the driveway.
