“What better way than giving you a Romeo and Juliet story.”
“Donatello!”
“Just that in your case, Romeo lives a long life where he mourns his precious Juliet.”
“You wouldn’t dare.”
He laughs. “I heard your little conversation with Bunny in the car. I am sure the fool didn’t know my men tailed him to the grocery store.”
He turns to Alyssa. “You’ll ditch your precious little brother for this bitch? I am almost getting goosebumps thinking of how miserable you’ll be without her.”
I stare into his face, looking for any trace of the Donatello I knew and loved. He was my brother, flesh of my flesh.
I see nothing except a monster standing before me. “Why are you doing this?”
He shrugs. “I must admit, at this point, I am just enjoying the front-row seat to your misery.”
He snaps his fingers, and his men prop Alyssa up.
“Don’t worry. She’s so out of it that she’ll feel nothing.”
He aims his gun at her head and places his finger on the trigger.
A shot rings out, and it hits the man holding Alyssa as Donatello and I fall to the floor.
I press down on his neck, and I begin to rain down punches on his face.
His men pull me away from him as he reels in shock.
“I fucking hate you!” he shouts as he gets to his feet, his face red from my blows.
“Then take it out on me, you coward.”
“Hold his fucking knee in place!” he cries to his men.
They hold both my knees in place, and he begins to stomp on them both.
The pain hits my body like bolts of electricity as jolt after jolt of pain knifes through me.
He finally stops, and he turns to Alyssa.
“Nothing hurts you, but this will.”
He is about to lift his gun when police sirens rend the air, and the warehouse is instantly surrounded.
“Police! Drop your weapons!” comes a voice over a loudspeaker.
“You called the fucking cops?” he grits out as he raises his hands.
I ignore him, and I crawl over to Alyssa, whose eyes flutter open.
“Antonio!” Bunny’s voice calls from behind as he runs towards us, followed by the police.
“Alyssa, talk to me,” I plead.
She coughs. “Antonio? Is that you?”
I turn to Bunny, who has tears in his eyes.
