      “Who,” Shane asked. Mickey said “one of my former CI’s told me Frankie G paid for the hit, it was on you and Duane. He hired a local street gang to do the job. They go by GS. I’m not sure if Frankie ordered the hit but he’s involved up to his little Guido eyes.” Shane looked at Mickey. Mickey didn’t say a word he was not sure if he offended Shane with the Guido remark. “Promise me you’ll kill them all, Frankie G and all of his friends.” Shane nodded and left Mickey’s office. He had a lunch appointment with Adelaide downtown. He took his time driving downtown. He was thinking about what Mickey said about GS and the hit on him and Duane. He could not help but wonder if the contract was on both of their heads why he was still alive and Duane was not.

      Chapter 3

      Shane met Adelaide at the Hollywood Diner. They got there at the same time. Adelaide was very excited. “Hey how are you” she asked. “Fine” Shane said “and you.” She said “I’m good.” Shane noticed people looking at him. He was very uncomfortable around Adelaide. “What’s on your mind Adelaide,” Shane said? “Call me Addy” she said. “Nothing, I just wanted to see you.” Shane twitched in his seat, he could not believe how uncomfortable she made him after all he was trained to keep his cool under pressure. “Do I make you uncomfortable,” Addy asked? Shane said “a little as his eyes shifted and widened.” “Don’t be I won’t bite you” she laughed. “You know I’m an empath” she said.”I was a police counselor when I first joined the force.”

      “Really” Shane said “so you know what I’m feeling.”

      “Yes” she said “and what your thinking.” Shane looked at her, he did not smile or blink. “Just joking” she said “but I’ll bet you feel uncomfortable with me because of how I look and, you’re not sure what I want from you, men always feel that a woman showing them attention is interested in them. I don’t like you that way, do that put your mind at ease.” Shane noticed people looking at him he smiled and said “let’s get out of here.” They had not ordered anything so they got up and left. The two walked and talked for twenty minutes mostly about finding yourself, liking who you are and being at peace. Addy did most of the talking, she was on a journey to find peace in her life and she seemed to think her journey included Shane. Shane said he had to go home he has something to do later. Addy said ok and asked if she could see him tomorrow. Shane looked at her then he walked away. Addy said “ok, see you tomorrow.”

      Later that evening Shane went to the docks to see Frankie G. He sneaked onto the ship named Gianni. He walked around the boat looking for something, what he was not sure but he knew whatever it was he can use it as leverage against Frankie G. He was surprised that no one bothered him. He did not find anything on board he could use so he asked one of the crew members where he can find Frankie Gianni. He was told Frankie has an office in warehouse three on the docks. Shane went to the warehouse, the door was unlocked he walked in, there were several crates just inside the warehouse. He pried one of the crates open and found automatic rifles. Three mobsters walked in with guns drawn. “What are you doing in here” the short mobster standing in front said? “I’m looking for Frankie have you seen him. I have a proposal for him” Shane said. “Tell me your proposal and I’ll decide if it’s worth Frankie’s time” He said. “Who are you” Shane asked? “I’m the guy holding the gun” he said. “Uh huh” Shane said “listen I’m gonna go but you tell Frankie I have a great deal for him.” “Who are you” the short mobster with the gun asked? Me, I am, before Shane finished that statement he hit the right hand of the guy closest to him with his left hand almost knocking the gun out of it while simultaneously striking him in the nose with the palm of his right hand causing it to bleed. He then grabbed the guys’ right ear, turned him around and put him in a choke hold with his right hand while he took the gun out of the mobsters hand with his left hand. Shane pointed it at the short mobster. He finished the statement, the guy whose gonna take down Frankie G. “I don’t think so” the short mobster said. Shane was positioning himself near the door. He could see the short mobster was going to shoot so he yelled “don’t do it.” The short mobster squeezed the trigger. In the warehouse the sound was extremely loud it seemed to shake the building. Shane shot back hitting the guy in the wrist then he hit the mobster he was choking in the head with the butt of the pistol he was holding. Shane had not realized he had been shot in the left shoulder. He started running but the third mobster ran after him. Shane ducked down behind a car parked on the dock, when the mobster ran past him Shane jumped out at the guy knocking him down. The gun fell out of the mobsters hand, they wrestled for the gun Shane grabbed it just as the mobster hits him in the groin. In extreme pain, Shane rolled away from the mobster still holding the gun. He saw the mobster get to his feet and coming right at him. He shot the mobster in the leg two times causing him to fall to the ground. Shane laid there for a few minutes before he was able to get up. When he got back on his feet he walked over to the mobster and kicked him in the leg he had just shot. “You tell Frankie G I”m looking for him.” Shane said. He went to the hospital to have his arm looked at. Luckily it was just a flesh wound. On the way home Shane was thinking about what Mickey said about the hit on him and Duane.
