Ricco couldn’t seem to connect the dots in his own mind.He shook his head and said, “You chicas are loco.Our cartel is smarter than that.”
“Smart?I think not...but that’s just your opinion, Mr.Crackhead.But we know what happened because we watched it all.”Rebel now swung her bat a couple times.
“No, no, sis,” Jelly Bean interjected.“We didn’t just watch.We took out a dozen Dickless Cartel members all by ourselves, remember?”
“Yes, yes I do.Most fun I’ve had since I last played Fallout.Love that game.”
Jelly Bean’s smile dropped from her face as she looked back over at Ricco and said, “So now you’re going to learn a little about how your sister felt when you took a bat to her.”Raising her bat, she swiftly swung it at Ricco.
The bat connected with Ricco’s shoulder and he screamed as the hit shattered his shoulder.
“Only cobardes beat up women.”Rebel took the second at bat slam.
Ricco was breathless when the hit busted one of his ribs.He flew backward and landed on his back in the grass.
Rebel walked over and looked down at the now weeping man.“Just remember it was a woman who beat your sorry ass.”She took a third swing while using the bat like a golf club and broke his ankle.
Everyone heard the bones snapping.
Looking totally white in the face now, Ricco couldn’t even scream as he passed right the hell out.
Inside his office, Leon exclaimed, “Santos murciélagos!”
John snickered.“Those girls need to sign up for the local team.”He moved toward the door.
Leon laughed.“They are already signed to my team, son.”
John nodded in total agreement.He exited the house, walked across the lawn and came to stand next to the two women.He paused to peer down at Ricco.“I think you two have done enough damage for one day.”He leaned down and began frisking Ricco.He found a gun tucked into his back waistband and then he found a blade in Ricco’s pocket.
Before he straightened and stood, he checked Ricco’s neck for a pulse.When he found it, he motioned at the house.
Two of his men came out to carry the unconscious man inside.
Jelly Bean looked at Rebel and nodded.“One down, one to go.”
Rebel shook her head.“That was too easy, you know that right?”
Jelly Bean nodded.“Yeah, it was sort of a letdown.I know.But you gotta realize that only a fucked-up crackhead would do what he did and not worry about his own safety.”
“Maybe but we don’t know if Benzo is a user yet or not,” Rebel admitted.
“Well then, let’s go find the man and ask him nicely then.”Jelly Bean smiled.“And I know right where to find the man that might have answers.”
Rebel held her bat out like a sword and proclaimed, “To Oscar.”
Jelly Bean tapped her bat to Rebel’s like they were toasting with champagne glasses then they both walked toward the garage.
Leon expected them to come back inside.He asked John in a text if they had.
John replied with ano...they didn’t come back inside.
Leon looked out at the front yard again and bit at his lip.He would just have to wait to hear from them.
