The Resurrection Part 5

This is part 5 of the Vinny the Diamond the Resurrection Story for the whole story click here


From his vantage point Vinny watched Mila walk back across the square towards the gaggle of girls milling around the station. Business was quieter now so there were too many girls jockeying for too few punters. But that didn't concern Mila, as Vinny predicted she was already talking animatedly on her mobile phone. Vinny knew exactly who she was talking to and now all he had to do was sit tight and wait for Georgina to spring his trap. But this time Vinny would be ready.

Georgina killed the call. Mila might look fragile and vulnerable but she was a crafty little cow who drove a hard bargain. That bitch knew exactly where Vinny was but wouldn’t tell until Georgina had put the notes in her hands. How were her pimps running these girls? When all this died down Georgina needed to have a good look at what was going on and maybe mete our some punishment. Mila would be top of her list. 

Georgina got into her car and drove over to the station, every second was precious, who knew what Vinny the Diamond was planning? She picked Mila up and handed over the cash.
‘Speak’ she said, impatience in her voice.
Mila looked a little scared but was that just her act? She told her story in great detail, Georgina had to admit she was good, room number, room layout, Vinny’s temperament, Mila provided everything. As soon as she was finished Georgina kicked her out of the car and drove off. Vinny was close, very close. She knew she should think this through. It needed to be planned, less haste more speed was her grandfather’s motto and Georgina lived by his every word but this was one time when she had to ignore her papa. Vinny was plotting, Vinny was planning and Vinny had to be stopped.

Vinny watched Georgina stride across the hotel car park. She was as arrogant as she thought him stupid. Look at her, not even trying to hide her approach, did she think he wouldn’t be watching, waiting for her. She’d fallen into his trap like the stupid bitch she was.

‘Hello Georgina’ Vinny smiled, his diamond sparkling in the low lighting. Georgina looked around to see Vinny coming into his room behind her, a cigarette in his mouth and a gun in his hand. 
Georgina had bought a key card from the greedy bellboy and let herself into Vinny's room only to find the room empty. She’d thought she’d wait for Vinny but wasn’t expecting him to be back immediately.
‘Put that knife down there's a good girl.’

Georgina did as she was told, throwing her knife on the floor.  Vinny approached her, appraised her.
‘Such a pretty little thing’ he said with a lecherous tone. ‘Shame you have to die my dear.’ He blew smoke in her face. Georgina winced and moved away wondering if anyone was getting out of here alive.
‘Get undressed’ he said.
Georgina stood there motionless not about to play his game.
‘I said’ Vinny repeated slowly ‘get undressed.’ He picked up the knife and took a step towards her. He wanted to check she didn't have any concealed weapons but there was more to it than that.
She slowly started unbuttoning her blouse. She stripped off her shirt and then undid her jeans, stepping out of them.’
‘Everything’ Vinny said, ‘everything.’ She unclasped her bra and let it fall to the floor before peeling off her little panties.
Vinny circled her, inspecting her, checking her out, dehumanising her. He had to admit she was a fine woman, her dark skin and toned body momentarily got him thinking. He banished those thoughts from his mind. He was a new man, not influenced by the temptations of the flesh.
‘Kneel down’ he said, his voice rasping the instructions. This time she did as she was told immediately, kneeling on the rough carpeted floor.
Vinny had her exactly where he wanted her, kneeling, naked, powerless. Since he’d come round in hospital all those weeks ago he’d dreamt of this humiliation. She was trying not to be show it but Vinny could tell she was scared and that was all part of the fun. Immediate death was too good for her, he’d make her suffer first.
‘Vinny come on,’ Georgina was trying it on and was doing her best puppy eyes but Vinny really  had made himself immune.
‘There
s no come on, you’re gonna die, and nothing you can do can save you.’ Vinnie smiled ‘But I like playing god and I'll decide when you breathe your last breath.’
Georgina bowed her head, she was too proud to beg and she wasn
t going to give the toerag the pleasure of seeing her fear or her tears.
‘Look at me’ Vinny wanted to see those tears but Georgina
s head stayed bowed. ‘Look at me.’ he said again.
At that moment Vinny heard the sound of a key card opening the door. He took a step back so that he had both the naked girl and the door in his eyeline. The door swung open and in walked the pale, grey figure of Father Christmas.
Fragile and weak he may have been but he still carried the gravitas of the boss. To his side was a girl, looking as pale and as weak as the old man but more from fear than illness. Georgina looked up and saw her grandfather, she made to move towards him.
‘Stay where you are,’ Vinny barked. She did as she was told, waiting to see how things would unfold but suddenly feeling a lot better about life.
‘Vinny, Vinny, Vinny how did it come to this?’ His body may have been weak but his voice was strong and steady. Vinny shrugged wondering why the boss had bought the girl with him. 
‘I trusted you, confided in you, and now look at us. Such a pity.
Vinny looked down for a second, slightly ashamed but pulled himself together.
‘Ive come here unarmed,’ Father Christmas continued, ‘in the hope that I hope I can talk to you face to face, man to man, that we can reach an agreement. Now you can kill me if you want, and kill Georgina, I wouldn't blame if you did, but what then? You could run, but you would always be looking over your shoulder, looking out for the twins.’ Vinny still had the gun pointed at Georgina knowing the old man wouldn’t put her life at risk. Because you know they would hunt you down and kill you. They may not be as bright as Georgie here but dont underestimate them Vinny. Here…’ the old man held out his hand, there was a healthy wad of notes in it.
‘Let me buy my granddaughter’s life, you can have this, and your freedom. You spare Georgie and you have my word that you can live the rest of your life without having to watch your back.’
‘How can I trust you?’ Vinny growled.
‘You can’t, you won’t but you have to. You pull that trigger and you'll never have freedom, you’ll just be a dead man walking.’
‘I want her as well,’ Vinny nodded towards the girl by Father Christmas’s side. The old man looked at the pale girl.
‘I want her freedom, freedom from your clutches, from your pimps.’ Father Christmas smiled, that was exactly why he'd bought Eleanora with him. He knew Vinny better than Vinny knew himself.
‘Okay’ he said ‘she’s yours. Now Georgia put some clothes on.’
Georgina did as she as told, replacing the clothes as carefully as she
d removed them. 
‘We’re even now Vinny, you’re free.’ With that he took his granddaughter’s hand and left the room.
