FOILED AGAIN by Amboy

Guido wasn't sure about letting the new kid Carmine try to take Vinnie out, but by that time he had no choice. His first attempt to take the guy out was botched when his guys assaulted the wrong guy, and the second was when his loser nephew fell victim to Vinnie by his own stupid mistakes. Carmine was his newest recruit, and even though he was still new at the game, he'd already had a lot of success on some big XXXX runs and was great with a XXXX.
So it was Carmine or no one.
What Guido didn't know was that Carmine had just been lucky. And that his luck was about to run out.
The door to 459 DeRella Street creaked open as Carmine slowly peeked in, his concealed item drawn. He didn't even have a chance to look around before Vinnie was pointing a concealed item at his head. "Jeez," said Vinnie, "Guido must be gettin' desperate." He motioned Carmine to sit on the bed and immediately began tying the guys hands behind his back threading loops of rope around the guy's nice biceps and drawing more rope across his chest. "You're fucked, kid," he said, as he moved on to tie Carmine's ankles. "What's your name?"
"FUCK YOU!!!" was Carmine's ever-intelligent reply.
"Aww, kid," Vinnie said. "That ain't a way to be talkin'. You're probably new to Guido's little syndicate, so you probably don't know all the rules yet." He picked up a red bandanna. "The first rule is, you shut the fuck up." With that, he roughly gagged Carmine, knotting the bandanna tightly behind the guy's head. "The second rule is, DON'T FUCKIN' PISS ME OFF!!!!"
Carmine struggled uselessly to get free of the ropes, unable to make a sound.
Vinnie picked up his cell phone and dialed a number. "Yeah, it's me," he said to whoever was on the other end of the line. "Guido sent another one." Carmine glared at him. "No, I got the bitch all tied up."
He listened for a second and then laughed. "Nah, maybe if we had more time. But I gotta get outta here. Send the car around and make sure my ticket's waiting at Newark. You've got five minutes. Ciao." He looked over at Carmine still struggling to get free. "It's none of your business, but I'm getting me a flight to Colombia. It's time the XXXX lords knew exactly how much money your guys are keeping from them. And once they find out, the only crack your guys are gonna sell is the crack of Guido's big ass." He hastily wrote a note, "NICE TRY. VIN" and slipped it under the rope across Carmine's chest. The he wordlessly checked the gag, smiled, and put on his coat. "See ya." With that he was out the door.
Guido's reaction to being foiled a third time by Vinnie was even more explosive than the last one...but that's another story.
The End?
