Chapter 6
Tony ended up in the parking lot of Bada Bing, when he felt someone approaching him from behind. He turned quickly and came face to face with Peter. "What the fuck are you doing here?" Tony asked.
"Hey, Tony, I know you wanted me to leave town, but I fucked this up and I want to set things straight."
"You want to set things straight, you take care of that dumb fucking broad that came to town with your brother."
"What? Why, what the fuck is going on?" Peter asked.
"We tried to talk to her. She didn't want to fucking listen. Now she's a problem."
"Tony, no one has to get hurt. I'll make sure they leave town."
"You already tried that, remember? Your brother ended up in the hospital."
"Give me another chance. I won't fuck up this time."
"Fine. But you better fucking take care of it this time." Tony said and went back inside the club.
Peter jumped in his car and made his way to the hospital. He had to make things right, that was for certain. And he had to start with Jim.
-------------------------
Tony walked into the backroom and sat down at his desk. "I just saw Pete outside in the parking lot. I gave him a chance to redeem himself. He's gonna take care of her."
"T. we got another problem." Christopher said.
"What the fuck is it now?"
"She knows where McKenzy's buried."
"How the fuck could she know that?" Paulie asked.
"She tripped over the grave when she took off." Nicole said.
"Nic, you and Paulie get the fuck out there and move that body." Tony said.
"You got it, T. We'll get rid of the cocksucker for good." Paulie said as he and Nicole left the club.
-------------------------
Jim and Catherine were lying in his hospital, while Nick sat in a chair by the bed. Suddenly, Catherine sat up and looked from Jim to Nick and back to Jim. "We should go take a look at that grave." Catherine said.
"What? I don't think so. I don't want you going back there." Jim said.
"I'll take Nick with me. It could lead us to who killed Roselli and Romano." Catherine stated.
Nick looked at Catherine. "Cath, I think Jim's right. We should stay put."
"Nicky, we came here to do a job and I'm not gonna let these guys stop me."
"Honey, we understand that, but these guys aren't small potatoes. They're hardcore." Jim said.
"I'm not gonna sit here and do nothing. I'm gonna find that grave." Catherine said getting up from the bed. "Now, I can either go alone, or you can join me Nick."
Nick looked at Jim. He didn't know what to do. "Go with her, Nicky. We can't stop her and this way she won't be alone." Jim said. Nick stood up and followed Catherine to the door. "Take care of her, Nick."
"I will, Jim. Take care of yourself."
Nick and Catherine left Jim's hospital room. At this point, Jim didn't know what to do. He did know one thing for certain, he loved Catherine Willows and he wasn't gonna let anything happen to her.
-------------------------
Nicole and Paulie were making their way to the Pine Barrens in Paulie's car. He was behind the wheel and Nicole was in the passenger's seat. "So, I still can't believe you fucked this up." Paulie said looking at her.
"It was more Chrissy's fault than it was mine." Nicole stated.
"I just don't fucking understand. You can take out McKensy alone, but you and Chrissy together lose that stupid fucking twat." Paulie said.
"She ambushed Chris. She jumped out of the fucking truck and kicked him in the nuts."
Paulie looked at Nicole. "Serves him right, the little fucking prick. He shouldn't have let his guard down."
"See I told you it was all his fault."
"Yeah, well, just don't let T. find out, or Chrissy won't be around for too much longer."
-------------------------
Catherine was speeding her way toward the Pine Barrens. Nick had his hands on the dashboard, holding on for dear life. "Hey, Cath, you wanna slow down. I really want to get there alive."
"Like hell I'm gonna slow down. I'm not giving these assholes the satisfaction of getting away with murder."
"Listen, Cath, these guys are dangerous and I really like having the use of my arms and legs." Nick said.
"Quite whining, Nick, you're a grown man."
"All I'm saying is, there are safer ways to deal with this."
"Oh, yeah, and what might they be?" Catherine asked.
"We could take their advice and go back to Vegas."
"I can't believe you just said that. You want to go back to Vegas and let these guys win?"
Nick didn't pursue the conversation further. He just hoped that Catherine knew what she was getting them into.
--------------------------
Jim couldn't lay around any longer, he had to be with Catherine. This time thought, it wasn't only Catherine he was worried about, Nick's life was also in danger now. Jim got out of bed and winced at the pain as he placed his feet on the floor.
He made his way to the bathroom and got dressed as best he could. It was a very painful and time consuming task. Before he buttoned up his shirt, he checked out his bandages to make sure there was no blood seeping through. They were clean.
He finished dressing and made his way out to the front desk. The nurse behind it watched him approach. "Mr. Brass, you should be in bed."
"I'm leaving." Jim stated. "Now, where do I sign."
"I should get Dr. Brass. She wants you to stay in bed," the nurse said.
"Listen, I'm leaving here, whether you like it or not. Now, again, where do I sign."
"Fine. But just so you know, I'm signing you out against doctor's orders."
"I don't care. I'm leaving."
The nurse handed Jim the forms. Jim was about to sign the release forms when he realized that he had no idea where Catherine and Nick went. Just then he noticed two men some out of a hospital room. Jim recognized the bigger man as Tony Soprano.
Jim made an effort to try and hear what they were saying. "So, have you seen Nic today?" Ralphie asked.
"I sent her and Paulie to get rid of that fucking body that she buried in the Pine Barrens." Tony said. "She fucked up big time. Her and Christopher both."
"What about that woman? The one that's here from Vegas?"
"Pete's gonna take care of her."
When Jim heard that he quickly scribbled his signature and left the hospital as fast as he could. He grabbed a cab and went back to the hotel. He could only hope that the SUV was still there. He walked into the parking lot and found it still parked in its space.
He crouched down and reached under the rear tire. Catherine always kept an extra key in one of those magnetic boxes and it was coming in handy now. Jim pulled the key from the box and got into the SUV. He had to stop Peter before anyone else got hurt.
-------------------------
Paulie pulled the car in among the trees and he and Nicole got out. Paulie went around to the back and got two shovels from the trunk. "Okay, now where is this prick buried?"
"Over this way." Nicole said and started walking.
Paulie followed her. As they made their way toward the body, they weren't aware that they had company. Catherine pulled the truck right up behind Paulie's car. Catherine and Nick jumped out of the truck and walked up to Paulie's car. "Looks like someone beat us here." Nick said.
"Yeah. They're probably trying to get rid of the body that they buried here." Catherine stated. "Come on, Nicky, let's go."
Nick followed Catherine into the woods. They walked a good distance until they thought they heard someone digging. They both ducked behind a tree and watched Nicole and Paulie digging away. Catherine recognized both of them.
"They were both at the place I was taken to and she's the one who tried to kill me." Catherine whispered to Nick.
Just then they heard footsteps and moved out of sight. They caught sight of the person as they walked by. It was Peter.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Nick asked.
"I don't know but I get the feeling something bad's gonna happen." Catherine replied.
Peter walked up to Nicole and Paulie. "Pete, what the fuck are you doing here?" Paulie asked.
"I'm righting my wrongs, Paulie." Peter said as he pulled his gun.
"Whoa, Pete, you don't want to fucking do this." Paulie said.
Jim had parked the SUV by Peter's car and made his way toward the shouting. He saw Peter standing there with the gun pointed at Paulie and Nicole. When Catherine and Nick saw Jim they revealed themselves. "Jimmy! What the hell are you doing here?" Catherine asked.
At that, Peter, turned toward them. As he turned Paulie tried to hit him with the shovel. "Watch out, Peter!" Jim yelled.
Peter turned back toward Paulie and fired off a shot. It missed Paulie and hit Nicole in her right shoulder. She went down. Paulie stopped in his tracks and turned back toward Nicole. He saw her bleeding on the ground and ran to her.
He helped her up from the ground and told her to keep pressure on the wound. "Come on, Nic, I'll get you to a hospital." He passed Peter and stared him straight in the face. "You fuck! You're fucking dead, you scumbag!"
Paulie left with Nicole and Jim walked over to Peter. "What the fuck were you doing?" Jim asked.
"I had to make things right, Jim."
"Right for who?"
"Right for you, for me, for everyone who's been hurt. I don't wanna live like this anymore." Peter said, fell to his knees and started to cry. "I didn't mean to shoot you, Jimmy."
Jim kneeled down beside his brother and put an arm around his shoulder. "I know, Pete."
"It shouldn't have gone this far. I just wanted you to leave town so you wouldn't get hurt."
Jim helped Peter up and they made their way back to the cars. Catherine and Nick stood there watching them before they followed along. Catherine couldn't believe that Jim was helping Peter, after all that had happened. Well, actually she could believe it. That was just the kind of guy Jim was. Catherine and Nick hopped in the SUV, while Jim went with Peter in his car. They left Nicole's truck at the Barrens, only because they didn't need it anymore.
-------------------------
Paulie was speeding toward the hospital. Nicole was sitting in the passenger's seat, with her head resting against the headrest and applying pressure to the bullet wound. "Hang in there, kid, I'll get you to a doctor." Paulie said.
"Paulie... I... want that fucker... dead." Nicole said taking deep gasping breaths.
"Don't you worry, sweetheart, he's already dead." Paulie reassured her.
Minutes later, Paulie was pulling up to the emergency entrance. He jumped out of the car and ran around to the passenger's side. He opened the door and helped Nicole into the hospital.
-------------------------
Andrea went into Jim's room to check on him. She walked in and all she saw was an empty bed. Where the hell was he? Although this didn't surprise Andrea in the least, Jim had always hated hospitals.
She walked out to the nurse’s station. "Lucy? When did Jim Brass leave?" Andrea asked.
Before Lucy could answer, Paulie walked up to Andrea with Nicole. "What the hell happened?" Andrea asked.
"She's been shot. Fucking help her." Paulie said.
Andrea caught an orderly and told him to get a stretcher. Paulie and the orderly put Nicole on the stretcher and Andrea wheeled her down the hall. They passed Justin's room and Tony and Ralphie ran out into the hall. "What the fuck's going on?" Tony asked.
"We were digging up that fucking body, Pete Brass showed up and he fucking shot her." Paulie said.
"What? Where is that motherfucker?" Ralphie asked.
"Ralphie we'll take care of that prick. You need to be here for Nikki." Paulie said.
"No, I'll take care of him. You leave that cocksucker to me."
------------------------
Jim and Peter were driving back to Newark in Peter's car. Nick and Catherine were following behind in the SUV. "What the fuck were you thinking, Peter?" Jim asked.
"I don't know, Jimmy, but I'm so fucked now. They're gonna come after me. That was Tony's cousin I shot. Now, you and your friends have to leave town before they come after you."
Jim shook his head. "Pete they're already after us. Look, we may not have spoken in years but I want to help you. I don't want you to end up dead."
"Jimmy, if you stick around here, we're all gonna be dead. Don't you get it? These guys don't fuck around. If they want you dead, that's it, you're dead. So, please, get out of town and fast, okay?"
Jim wasn't backing down. "No, it's not okay. I'm not leaving here knowing that your life's in danger."
Peter glanced over at Jim. "You really mean that, don't you?"
"Of course I do. You're my brother." Jim stated.
------------------------
Tony, Christopher, Paulie, Sil and Ralphie were sitting in the waiting room. "I can't believe that fucking prick." Sil said.
"Don't worry, that cocksucker's dead." Tony said. "He told me he wanted to make things right. I didn't fucking think this is what he meant."
"Let us take care of this T. He'll never be seen again." Paulie said.
"No, I want this asshole myself." Ralphie stated. "I think I'm entitled."
"Ralph's right. He should take Pete out himself." Tony said.
They all sat in silence. Ralphie couldn't believe that Peter had shot Nicole. His best friend and Justin's godfather, and now he was going to have to kill him. This wasn't gonna be easy but it had to be done and he had to do it. He had to get Nicole some form of justice; even if killing his best friend was the way to get it.
