Death Of A Kingpin

It was a eerie night, when around midnight Machine Gun Kelly was sitting alone in his motel room in Oklahoma, a night like any other. Suddenly MGK hears two black sedans pull up, unusual because he chooses motels without a lot of business, then masked figures exit the vehicles and head for their trunks and pull out some shotguns. 

 

MGK knew this might be his last night and these men weren’t here to keep him company, but to end his life. MGK proceeds to put out the cigarette he was smoking in the ashtray next to the bed, grabs his Tommy Gun and runs in the bathroom leaving the door open, but killing the lights. A couple minutes later his door breaks down and the masked assailants enter the room, one notices the cigarette that was just put out and says to the others “He must be around here somewhere check under the beds and then the bathroom”. MGK heard them check under the beds and when he felt they were all in the room in a general area he stepped from cover an d unloaded from his Tommy Gun, bullets hitting flesh, blood everywhere. When his cartridge was empty there weren’t any masked men alive. MGK took a sigh of relief and started to search the corpses for a note and eventually, he found one. He was in disbelief that the hit had been sent from Bugsy Siegel and even had his personal wax stamp of approval, so it was from him.

 

Johnny Torrio is just waking up and is enjoying a cigar and some coffee when his phone rings, Machine Gun Kelly is on the other line. “Hey what’s up” Johnny said, to which MGKreplied “Hey Johnny do you think I could stay at the Gambino Compound for a little bit?” “Why whats wrong with Moretti?” Torrrio said, confused “Oh well you know nothing much except for the fact that Bugsy Siegel sent assassins to kill me last night, and before you ask it was him, even had his wax seal” MGK remarked knowing what was about to happen. “This is ridiculous, he has been thinking he was untouchable and now has the audacity to pull this and try to kill a capo and friend of Pazzos is unacceptable, lay low at the compound I’ll call you when it is settled.” Johnny then called Bugsy and arranged a meeting in Kentucky to “talk business”, and Bugsy fell for it.

 

So they had a meeting in a KFC, Bugsy wanted a public place, just in case so as they are talking and eating Bugsy says “Hey I’m going to this restroom to take a whiz” “Same here” Torrio tells him. When they head in there Bugsy heads for the urinal, but Johnny stops him “Hey Bugsy” Johnny says, when Bugsy turns around there is a .44 Magnum pointed at him. Frozen with fear Bugsys legs start to rapidly shake and his pants start to turn wet, “Are you peeing your pants?” Torrio asks trying not to laugh at him, then Bugsy drops to his knees and starts to cry while urinating on himself. “Please spare me I’m so sorry” Bugsy wails, now weeping. “Look at you, not so untouchable now, are you prepared to face your mistakes?” Bugsy was just sitting there hysterically crying so Johnny got tired of it, put the magnum to Bugsys head and blew his brains out and walked out saying “I still can’t believe he pissed his pants”

 

 

Johnny is in a Kentucky hotel, about to call Machine Gun Kelly when he gets a call. “ Hello” Johnny says “Why did you kill Bugsy?” Pazzo asks on the other line “ He sent hitmen after MGK” Torrio replies “I’m sorry to hear that but since you killed one of my men I’m bound by honor to kill you” Pazzo said “You don’t have to do this” Johnny replied “Yeah I do, meet me at the abandoned warehouse by Pepperidge Farm” Pazzo calmly said to his friend. “Ok but we will have it fair duel three cartridges each” Johnny said. So at midnight Johnny Torrio shows up at the warehouse, knowing Pazzo would already be there, as soon as Johnny walks in the door bullets are flying at him so he dashes over to cover, Seems like Pazzo used his first cartridge. “Pazzo this is you last chance man don’t do this” Johnny yells. Then Pazzo and Johnny exchange gunfire until they have to reload. Jo hhny is at two left and Pazzo is on his last one. Johnny runs to some more cover shooting at Pazzo while he is returning fire. Johnny reloads his last cartridge knowing Pazzo is out of ammo and walks out into the open. In the last gun fight Pazzo was hit in the stomach. Knowing that if he doesn’t do something he is going to bleed out so Pazzo pulls out a stiletto switchblade that he took from the corpse of the legendary Corleone Godfather GrimReaper, knowing it is the end. In a blaze of glory Pazzo charges at Johnny with all his might as Johnny is unloading his lat cartridge into Pazzo, who is getting riddled with bullets yet still charging until Pazzo reaches Johnny one hand on his shoulder and the other with the blade to Johnny’s neck. Looking eachother in the eyes for the last time, Pazzo falls over before before he can muster the strength to slit Johnnys throat. Johnny stands there, looking at the bullet filled body of Pazzo Sangue and screams in anger at the loss of his close friend and fellow kingpin. When Johnny gets to the nearest phone he calls Machine Gun Kelly “Is it done Johnny Boy” MGK asks “Yeah” Torrio replies “I wonder what Pazzo is going to do” MGK says unaware of the death of his close friend

 

 

“Pazzo is dead, he challenged me to a duel and I killed him, I’m sorry”

Johnny says trying to keep cool…

“Dammit Pazzo why did you have to die for Bugsys mistake you didn’t have to do this… I need time to think I will call you later” Machine Gun Kelly said as he hung up. Johnny was just sitting thinking on what is to become…
