just before they went out and shot somebody. ‘The kid's muscling in on 
my territory. I gotta take him out. You with me or not?' Vincent simply 
nodded understandingly and sat down next to his best friend and leader. 


They both took out their pieces for a final examination before 8
o'clock, when Tony always came round. That was his fatal mistake, Louie 
thought to himself. You can't step on people's toes and then stick to a 
routine. It's too easy to become a target that way. ‘Not to worry' 
Louie thought to himself. “It was just one of the lessons he was going 
to teach ‘Baby Tooth' and his thugs.” 

Finally, after several minutes had agonisingly dragged by, Louie spotted
the group of four about 50 metres off and approaching steadily. He felt 
the flutter of nerves in his stomach transform into balloons of 
excitement which completely and utterly filled Louis with anticipation. 
He quickly tucked his weapon back into concealment and waited anxiously 
for Tony to approach. He held his breath as ‘Baby Tooth' came to a stop 
and glared at the hunched-over figure by the stairs. Inhaling deeply, 
‘Big Louie' rose to his feet and began his momentous march forward. 
With each measured step he could see Tony's eyes began to freeze and 
his lips shuffle with uncertainty. Grinning confidently to himself, 
Louie reached his eighth step and reached behind him. As his left foot 
touched on the pavement, Louis extracted his weapon with practised 
speed and with almost military precision steadied his aim and fired 
directly at ‘Baby Tooth' Tony. To his utter dismay, Louie's trusty 
firearm emitted nothing. Not even a puff of smoke. Tony and his friends 
burst out laughing and continued on. Louie hurled the useless piece of 
plastic to the ground in disgust. 

‘It doesn't matter,' he told himself as he trudged back inside his house
to get ready for school, as his mind whirled with plans of vengeance.
