From Nothing to Norton

Chapter 15 Clearing Beanies

Newton returned to his mansion after school the next day to find Grinch and some of the gang members gathered on one side.

Curious but not wanting to interrupt their meeting, he decided to go directly to his father and inquire about the situation. He entered the private living room where his father was engrossed in watching the stock market report on the newly replaced, even bigger TV.

"Any news on Drax?" Newton asked his father, hoping for some updates.

His father shook his head in response. "No. They haven't called to say what they want?"

Newton pressed further, concerned about his best friend's well-being.

"No, son... They didn't," his father replied, sharing the lack of information.

"I just hope he's safe," Newton expressed his worry.

Just then, a beep interrupted their conversation. It was Grinch on the other line.

"Sir, some Beanies have moved into town. They reportedly harassed Easy-Fit into closing their store," Grinch informed.

Easy-Fit was a retail store that sold high fashion designer clothes in Bayfield.

Newton inquired about any updates from the Lees, the rival gang in the area.

"None, sir," Grinch replied.

Newton couldn't stand idle. "Okay. Get two men and take the Maybach. Get those filthy animals out of the shop. We have enough trouble as it is, and those filthy Beanies are making it worse."

Grinch acknowledged his orders. "Okay, sir."

Overhearing the conversation, Newton spoke up with determination. "I want to go with them!"

Concerned for his safety, Newton's father initially objected. "It's too dangerous, son. You have become very skilled, you are the owner of these properties. If something happens to you, I don't know what I would do to myself."

"I'll be fine, Dad," Newton reassured him.

His father looked at him sternly, contemplating the request before finally giving in to Newton's persistence.

Newton and two other Nort members set off on their mission. This time, Grinch stayed behind, allowing Newton to take the lead. They quickly approached the scene in the Maybach, ready for action.

"Get ready," Newton called out to the other two men, preparing them for what lay ahead.

As their vehicle came under heavy fire from the Beanie Boys who had spotted them, Newton ordered the driver to keep going, ensuring their safety beyond the Beanie's range.

"Turn right," he shouted to the driver, indicating their next move.

Without hesitation, the car swiftly made a right turn.

"Make another right at the end of the street," Newton commanded, directing their path.

Following his instructions, the driver made the right turn at the end of the street.

Now positioned at the back of the building where the Beanies were stationed, shooting at them, Newton took charge.

"Park here!" he commanded the driver. Observing a staircase leading to an open door at the top of the building, Newton made a quick decision.

The driver complied, bringing the car to a stop, and Newton wasted no time, swiftly getting out of the vehicle, with the other two men following suit.

Moving silently and with agility, Newton climbed the stairs, followed closely by his comrades.

Now inside the building, Newton signaled for everyone to stop, indicating the presence of two Beanies in a corner, attempting to break open a jewelry box.

The Beanies were completely absorbed in their task, unaware of Newton and his gang's presence.

Newton motioned for the man behind him to follow his lead, and with a nod of agreement, he directed the other man to focus on the Beanie on the left.

With precision and swiftness, Newton's gang approached the unsuspecting men

In a swift motion, Newton's man seized his target by the head, twisting it at an impossible angle, instantly disabling him.

At the same time, Newton delivered a powerful strike to the back of his target's neck using the palm of his hand.

The force of the blow caused the man to crumple and collapse to the ground.

In a tense whisper, the Nort member beside Newton urgently insisted, "Boss, you have to finish it cleanly. He has to die."

Newton's gaze shifted to the man lying on the ground, taking note of the scars under his left eye. Despite the circumstances, he couldn't bring himself to end the young man's life.

"He won't wake up until we're done," Newton replied firmly, his determination unwavering.

Accompanied by his two men, Newton descended the stairs to the first floor, where five more Beanies were scattered about. Each member selected a coveted piece of expensive clothing.

Moving swiftly and using the clothing racks as cover, Newton and his men displayed precision in their approach.

With a lightning-fast maneuver, Newton incapacitated one of the Beanies, mirroring his previous takedown on the second floor.

Crouching low, Newton closed in on the second Beanie nearby and swiftly covered the Beanie's mouth with his large palm. Executing a targeted strike between the shoulder and the neck, the Beanie promptly lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, Newton's men effortlessly neutralized the remaining three Beanies on the floor.

Offering a reassuring pat on the back of the smallest Beanie, Newton and his men crouched their way down the stairs to the ground floor.

The ground floor bustled with Beanies engaged at the cash register, perusing designer shoes, and standing guard outside after their earlier attack on Newton's car. Their primary objective was to ensure the undisturbed execution of the store robbery.

Taking a brief moment to assess the situation, Newton discreetly signaled his instructions with a subtle finger gesture.

"One... two... three*"

With impeccable coordination, they swiftly eliminated the first three Beanies who were engrossed in trying on designer clothes nearby, maintaining a stealthy silence amidst the Beanies' chatter.

Newton and his men cautiously advanced until, accidentally, one of his companions bumped into a clothes rack, causing the hangers to produce a loud noise that captured the Beanies' attention.

Responding swiftly, three Beanies armed themselves and approached the source of the disturbance.

Seizing the opportunity, Newton and his comrades skillfully concealed themselves among the rows of hanging clothes on the opposite rack, silently observing the Beanies as they scoured the area with their vigilant gaze.

As the Beanies prepared to depart, Newton signaled his men to remain composed and undetected.

Suddenly, one of the Beanies turned around, catching one of Newton's men off guard, resulting in a collision with a rack of clothes.

*Bang bang* Bang*

The Beanie opened fire upon the exposed Norts!

Reacting swiftly, Newton and his comrades rolled away, seeking refuge behind a large metal table which they toppled for cover.

All eyes of the Beanies were now fixated on their vulnerable position.

"What do we do, boss?" Newton's men turned to him, seeking guidance amidst the perilous situation.

The table shielding them vibrated under the relentless onslaught of gunfire, the sound of bullets striking metal filling the air. Raising his voice above the din, Newton commanded, "Watch your flanks!"

A Beanie attempted to flank Newton's side, only to meet a swift demise as Newton's man shot him in the eye before he could squeeze the trigger.

Simultaneously, at the opposite end, the third member of Newton's team eliminated another Beanie.

Their makeshift cover continued to withstand the heavy fire, and although more Beanies tried to flank them, they were swiftly neutralized.

Recognizing their disadvantageous position, the remaining Beanies opted to wait for Newton and his men to make a move. Surrounded and outgunned, their options were limited.

After ten minutes of tense waiting, one of Newton's men abruptly rose from cover, clutching two Uzis in his hands, and boldly stepped forward.

"What are you doing?!" Newton's voice echoed with alarm.

Ignoring Newton's protest, the courageous man unleashed a barrage of gunfire upon the Beanies in front of him, creating a momentary chaos.

The shooting suddenly ceased.

"One man down, flank them!" the Beanies shouted in response.

In a swift and unexpected turn of events, a car screeched to a halt in front of the store, and a hail of bullets pierced through the glass front, eliminating the Beanies from the outside.

Grinch, accompanied by three Norts, had arrived to rescue Newton and his men.

Now, the attention of the remaining Beanies shifted to the intense gunfire originating from a black SUV outside the store.

Newton swiftly eliminated the Beanies in front of him, while his rescuers swiftly dispatched the remaining foes.

Before long, all the Beanies had been cleared from the scene.

Newton and his comrade carefully dragged their fallen gang member out of the store and into the trunk of the parked SUV.

Newton entered the black SUV alongside Grinch, while the other man circled around to drive the Maybach they had arrived in.

Having successfully completed his second mission as a Nort Mafia Leader, Newton reflected on the intense ordeal they had just overcome.
