Afterwards while they were leaving the waterfront warehouse district Melissa Barese asked A.J. if they could go & drive around before he returned her back to the BOBBI HOUSE? (Drive Around?)

"Yea. You know. Drive Around how we'd ride around at night when we were young?! I just want to see the night-time city skylines & breath in this fresh dewy air."

"Sure Mel--Why Not? We can Ride Around if you'd like?" (I'd Like.)

"So Be It Then." A.J. warmly smiled as he lit a cigarette. (Can I have one too?)

"Of Course!--Here. Anywhere in particular you want to Drive Around to?" A.J. politely asked handing her the red-pack of cigarettes & lighter.

MELISSA BARESE

"Can we go see the Statue of Liberty?!--I like to look at her all lit up at night!" (Stanton Island it is!)

Melissa cracked the front passenger door window to exhale the cigarette smoke. Then she leans forward to remove her shoes & turn sideways in the seat lifting her bare-feet up off the floor-boards to face A.J. driving.

"Can I ask you a personal question Melissa?"

"You can ask me any fucking thing you like Anthony--I owe you my goddamn life! Although only you & I know that." A.J. doesn't respond to her answer but followed up by asking:

"How did you endure that attack & survive it? You must of hung there over 12 hours after they left you hanging there for dead?"

"Before you came to find & rescue me you mean?!" Melissa answered his question w/one of her own which A.J. wouldn't acknowledge what she said to her.

MELISSA BARESE

"You don't have to admit it to me Anthony--I know it was you! You descended down as a solid black form like a dark prince wearing wings to find me & save me!" A.J. remained silent as he drove smoking & listening closely to her dramatic mystic embellishing description.

"I also know that Patsi Parisi didn't murder Geno!--I seen it. You killed him Anthony! He made you do it. Mocking you as he aimed his gun at my Uncle Albert. You had no choice but to murder your long-time friend."

MELISSA BARESE

"How do you know that Melissa?" A.J. asked without confirming her claim.

"I Told You--I Seen It! I seen it in a vision just before you arrived at my house to find me hanging there for dead.

I know you didn't know if I was dead or alive at that moment when you dialed 9-1-1 on my cellphone & left the call connected so the first responders could come & find me.

Then isn't it ironic how it was your pretty Dectective wife--Stella (Brewster) Soprano who was the first to respond after you called & left?! But I digress:

I know all of this Anthony--& All You have done since is to only continue in helping & assisting me--Then Revenging my Honor Tonight!" (That. Isn't completely Finished yet.)

"You intially asked me how I endured & survived my attackers?!" (Yes?)

I can only explain it as a spirtual Shamanic Journey of vulnerability enduring & overcoming trauma to triumph over dire situations in the natural world. Being mixed w/ the Volva's sexual magic rite of Seiðr.

I left my hanging body as an out of body experience & floated--hovering above the room while peering down at myself watching my attackers violating me.

Shamanic Laws state that:

Anyone we encounter is the right person for that moment.

Anything which happens is the only thing that can happen.

Anytime something starts is the right time.

& When something Ends?--It Ends."

"But in a Name?--"Va Bene Fazio." I had endured & survived being Broken by Benny over a decade ago. & I had the realization while I was hanging there being gang-raped that I couldn't be Broken anymore by those four lecherous men.

You see Benny was the cause of my divorce. My husband had come home to find Benny making a home video of us fucking.

Benny just laughed in my outraged husband's face as he continued fucking me there in front of him doggy-style.

My discusted husband called me a "Puttana del Diavolo" / "Whore of the Devil" & ran out of the house to puke up his guts in the driveway before leaving--Never to Return.

He was found dead three days later. Allegedly Suicide but I suspected that Benny must of killed him merely for principle's sake.

MELISSA BARESE

"NUIT?!"--A.J. recalled watching that video from Benny's cellphone data. But he hadn't determined the woman's identity being a dim & grainy recording. Benny only referred to her in the film as Iris.

"YES.--MARQUIS." Melissa answered whispering loudly. Melissa didn't question how he knew to call her that but continued telling A.J. her story.

Although it appeared to jolt her & gave her some measure of satifaction to be acknowledged by the given Pet name. Just as A.J.'s mother Carmela & Benny's widow Jeni responded when he addressed each of them using their secret pet-names: "Cooze" & "Jeza."

"Benny appeared to me hanging there half dead--hardly alive after being beaten & gang-fucked over & over.

He laughed at me saying: "Look at you Iris! Hanging up there like that!" I could only laugh back at him.

Benny told me that I had to leave there immediately.

He said:

"YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!--TURN AROUND

& GO BACK."

I said: "I don't want to go back--I want to stay here w/you!" & He just began laughing at me again even harder."

MELISSA BARESE

"WHAT DON'T YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND MELISSA?!--DEATH IS NOTHINGNESS.

I'm only alive in your Mind as long as you don't die. Once you die you will become nothing more then rest of us nothings. & Then we will be eternally separated in our own separate nonstates of Nothingness in Perpetual Silence.

There is no Light--no Time Here. There aren't Yesterday's & there isn't a Tomorrow here either in this suspended nonstate of Nothingness.

There is only a deep gnawing of remorse & regret for believing that there could be more--When Life is the More. Life is the Reward!

Death is merely Nothingness--No More.

There is No Afterlife

Nor Afterdeath

When you

"Slip to the Void."

"I asked: How Marquis?--How can I go back?!"

"Rage--Rage Against the Dying of the Light".--You must resist & deny death the same way you resist & deny life.

Just use that same power of denial you use to cope w/ life to resist & reject death.

"Resist the Devil & He shall Flee from you!"

"But I don't want to resist you Marquis!" I feebly pleaded to stay there w/him.

You Must Resist & Deny Death Iris--There is no other way for us to remain together but inside your living mind. You carry my past essence inside of yourself. But if you die? We will both disintegrate into the Void."

"I understood at that moment as I returned to my body from aloft & Benny slid back inside of me.

That's when I had the vision of you killing Geno. You see Anthony you didn't only kill him to protect my uncle Albert but you also Revenged Benny's murderer."

"How do you know that Melissa?!"

"Don't Worry A.J.--I didn't see that in a vision too! Geno told me he murdered Benny & Martina. He was drunk & bragging to me how he made his bones. I merely deducted that Truth from my vision of you killing Geno before you came to my rescue."

"But that isn't What's Important." (What Is?)

"What is Important is that you & I are here right now at this instant together alive in spite of everything that's happened. I can confidently say that we are exactly where we're suppose to be." (Supposed?)

MELISSA BARESE

"FATE.--It's Fate that's brought us Together for this Time." Melissa sits up to toss her short cigarette-butt out the cracked-open car window over her head as she peered out the back window to see the sparks flying in the darkness behind their speeding away vehicle.

Cradling her bent legs close to rest her chin upon her knees Melissa silently stared aimlessly out pass A.J. driving south at the New York City Skyline over his shoulder across the Hudson River.

After a brief pause of silence between them Melissa asked A.J. : "Do I sound Crazy?!"

"YES!--YOU SOUND CRAZY AS FUCK!" (WHAT?!) Melissa raised her hand to slap his jacket-sleeve.

Then A.J. began laughing as he drove digging for his red-pack cigarettes.

"Goddamn you Anthony! You're laughing at me!" Then she begins hitting him in the arm w/her small clutched fist.

"DON'T!--STOP IT MELISSA! I'M TRYONG TO DRIVE!" He pleaded only laughing louder. (WHY?--WHY SHOULD I?!)

"Because you're going to wreak us!" He attempts to hold her off w/one arm as he gripped the steering wheel w/his other hand. (STOP LAUGHING!) Melissa began laughing at him laughing at her.

"What's the Matter Soprano?!" (NOTHING!)

"ARE YOU SURE?!--IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE NOTHING!" (WHAT?!) A.J. struggles to catch his breath after laughing so hard.

"It looks like Something to me!" Melissa leans forward to grope his bulging crotch. (DON'T!)

"WHAT?!--IT LOOKS LIKE ITS GETTING HARD?!"

"ITS ALWAYS LIKE THAT?!" A.J. attempts to laugh it off as he pushes her hand away.

"Oh--So what you are saying is you're always walking around or driving in this case w/a Hard-On?!" Melissa teases him reaching back across the front seat to poke at it w/ her finger.

MELISSA BARESE

"Yep.--It looks like it's getting bigger & harder to me!" (Melissa--I'm trying to drive over here?!")

"Well you better keep your eyes on the road then!" She laughed at him while continuing to rub & squeeze his heavy swelling balls.

THE SASSO BROTHERS

ELIZABETH NJ

Raymond Curto Jr & his assemblied Crew of the two Sasso Brothers Salvatore & Niccolo w/their cousin Sergio Sasso equipped w/a bag of baseball bats.

Raymond had also contacted Bobby Baleno to aquire Lonnie "Rhino" Rhinhart's "Muscle" to assist them by showing up w/his sledgehammer.

Raymond would provide the fire-power w/his new miniature machine-gun toy if required.

Lonnie "Rhino" Rhinhart

DIMEO CRIME FAMILY

ASSOCIATE

Raymond had a long list of Racketeering Operations that weren't paying a Kick-Up Tax to the DIMEO CRIME FAMILY.

It was a list that A.J. acquired from Perry Annunziata of illegal businesses that served & enabled his degenerate excessive compulsive addict employer Trillo's vices of sex drugs gambling & Shamlocking.

RAYMOND CURTO JR

DIMEO CRIME FAMILY

CAPO

Raymond showed the list to Kevin Sharkey a veteran mobster who told Ray-Ray that most of the businesses once kicked up to his late father "Buffalo Ray" when he was alive as a DIMEO CRIME FAMILY CAPO. & Rightly they should all agree to bow a knee w/little to no resistance to Raymond as they had his father.

This Revelation only added to Raymond's overbearing confidence & aided in his approach to maximize his full potential by utilizing his inherent leverage to his advantage of being his late Gangster Father's Mobster Son.

All Raymond needed was a fresh haircut being satisfied that his Crew was fully prepared & briefed to execute their mission of imposing a Pazza Tax named Operation: "Clean Sweep."
