Place: Docks
Time: 11:30 p.m.
Weather: Freezing cold

"What the heck am I doing here?", the woman muttered under her breath. She let out a deep sigh, seeing something similar to fog coming out of her lips. It was a very cold night, indeed. The dark-haired, Italian-looking woman looked at her pocket watch.

"Late, as usual", she stated to herself, since she was alone. She had the habit of talking to herself. It helped her put ideas on the right places. And, as a bonus, helped her feel less lonely.

"You know, girl, you should never have agreed to meet him. But yet you did. Why? Because you're stupid."

She shook her head. No. It had nothing to do with stupidity. Or the feelings she had to admit she still had, partially. It was the box. The box with some of her things he still held with him. He had it, she needed it. That sounds like a pretty good reason for an encounter. An encounter, not a date, by the way. Dating time was over.

"You should be resting, Tina", she told herself. She usually gave herself pretty good advice. She never followed it, though. Another look at the watch. It reminded her. It had been a gift from him. She'd better return it. She let out a tired sigh. "I'll be here by ten. Yeah, right. When hell freezes over."

She was considering the idea of leaving when she heard footsteps. HIS footsteps, unmistakeable. She had to fight the temptation to jump on his neck with a tight hug, like before. She simply held out her hand and nodded. She didn't trust herself to speak right at the moment.

[P.S.: I don't have a big plan, and I know it's not perfect, but I'd love if someone joined. I promise I won't forget to check it out. lol]

As Joseph and Valentina arrived at Vulkie's apartment,they pulled up on the porch before Vulkie's apartment and walked upstairs. Valentina knocked three times on the door.

Just as Vulkie made some dinner,she heard three knocks. "That must be them." Vulkie thought. She cocked her gun,just in case.

And so,Vulkie turned the key carefully and opened the door.

"Hi Joseph,hi Valentina. Have some dinner,please,I made sufficient for the three of us" Vulkie said and so they went up,eating dinner.

"I've already been to the bank and bought us the tickets for the trip. We can go towards Costa Rica safely."

"Also", as Vulkie explained and grabbed some tommy guns and ammo, "I've taken care of weapons. We can easily smuggle them into our suitcases,since I bribed one of the pursers" Vulkie said.

"Thanks" Valentina muttered and Vulkie knew of what she was thinking. Revenge was close,only a week away.

"When we arrive in Costa Rica,I have a contact ready there. An old friend of mine,Camille Leonidas. She's from my dad's old days. She worked for my dad,before retiring to Costa Rica. If anyone knows where Domino can hide,that would be Camille. She has been there for almost 20 full years." Vulkie said.

And so,the trio went on the boat trip,after dropping of the sculpture with Valentina's agency. Vampiric Smile gladly stored it in the safe and so the trio departed to Costa Rica....

"One week later".....

Joseph cleared up from the sea air. And Valentina enjoyed staying with Joseph alongside. The only thing that bothered Vulkie,were haunting memories of her previous cases. Her brother,dead, Anais Nin's sister Lisette,dead. After all,she couldn't have saved Lisette,but Anais took revenge by killing Father Manfred after all (see Mysterious Appearance for reference,also Golden).

The only person that cared really about Vulkie,her brother Leonard,was murdered by that same priest,Father Manfred. But Vulkie showed temper, and patience....

"What're ya thinking of Vulkie?" Joseph said,strolling on the deck. "Nothing" Vulkie replied. She didn't want to make Joseph think of those moments again....

"Signores é Signoritas,bienvenido a Costa Rica." the speaker said.

And there,on the docks,stood our contact,Camille. My,has she changed,Vulkie thought. Camille was 50 when she retired and now she was 70. But still,she dyed her hair and looked well fed.

"Cómo estás Camille" Vulkie said,in her best spanish. "Bueno Vulkie,Bueno" Camille replied. "I see you still haven't changed anything. My,have you grown. Care to introduce your friends?" Camille said,as Joseph and Valentina came strolling from the boat.

"This is Joseph", as Vulkie pointed to Joseph, "And this is Valentina."

"Bienvenido" Camille said and shaked Joseph's and Valentina's hands.

And so, the four of them travelled towards a small house,which Camille owned....

Being bred and born in New York, Zeo didn't speak a word in Spanish. He was so glad Vulkie found someone who could show them the ropes. Costa Rica was very hot even in winter, so dry season, they call it.

Puerto Limon looked sunny and peaceful on the surface, but from what Camille told the three new comers, gang rivalry has escalated drastically since the unrest in Brazil.

"Domino is like a King here in Limon, amigo en las buenas, it will take quite a bit of art and courage to pull this through." Camille warned. "He is currently in hiding, but I know the few villa he owns. He will either be in his seaside cottage or the mansion secluded in the hills. Which one it is I am not sure, because he kept both heavily guarded."

"You mean one of them could just be a decoy." Zeo asked, frowning.

"Si." Camille nodded.

"Well, we'll find way to find out." Vulkie said.

"We better do that, because it's no good to walk into a trap." This will end soon, Zeo knew, but whether it was Domino's life or their, that he was not so certain.

"Let me think." Vulkie said and she began thinking. Which one was the obvious one Domino would be hiding in? "The seaside cottage,what are the escape ways possible Camille?"

"A seaplane and a boat. Also,the car could be possible." Camille replied

"And the Mansion in the hills?" Vulkie asked

"That would be by car,possibly a helicopter if he has one,I'm not sure and the underground ways towards the city." Camille replied

This was difficult. Both places had enough escape ways,but which one would Domino prefer....

"I got it,he must be hiding in the mansion secluded in the hills. You want to know why? It's hard to reach,Domino has enough time to think of an escape through the underground ways and has business appointments there" Vulkie replied.

"Bueno thinking Vulkie" Camille replied. "Domino indeed has business meetings there,with powerful people. And business must continue,so he won't be in his seaside cottage. Tell you what Vulkie. I got a plan..." Camille replied.

The plan was,that some amigos of her, went to the seaside cottage and tried to seduce the guards (Female amigos). Then,they would try to bring them down or at least shoot them down. After the phonecall,we would immediately go to the mansion

After they checked the seaside cottage, they would phone us with the info.

"A few hours later"

Ring,Ring.... Vulkie picked up the phone. "Si?" Vulkie replied. She listened to the explaination of one of Camille's amigos.

"Bueno. Gracias." and Vulkie hung up the phone.

"Seems I was right. He is in the secluded mansion." Vulkie replied. "The cottage was abandoned and the guards were easily seduced,because they hated being there while no one was in the house." Vulkie said.

And so,the four of them went to the secluded mansion in the hills....

As they made their way to Costa Rica, Valentina had spent most of the time around Joseph and Vulkie, though she spoke very little. She could feel her heart pounding in anger every time she thought of Domino, and bleeding in pain whenever she remembered her dear Fiorella.

If any of her two friends asked what was the matter, Tina would answer with a sigh and her usual way of shaking her head meaning nothing was wrong. Which was a lie. There were a lot of wrong things going on with Tina, both her body and her mind.

It wasn't hard to immagine what was going on inside Tina's head. All those things happening on the same time - Domino, Fiore, Vulkie, Joseph... - made a complete mess on her mind, and it was now starting to affect her physically.

In the last two days of the trip, it wasn't only rage and sadness that flooded Tina's chest. It was pain, too. Physical pain. A sharp pain that sometimes spread quickly across her body and went away as suddenly as it had started.

But not this time. This time, as they went up the hills to Domino's mansion, the pain just got bigger, taking more room and spreading to her arm. She wasn't breathing properly either, which made her slow down. She had the vague impression of hearing a "What's wrong?", but wasn't sure who had said it.

"Nothing", she answered, as she sat down. "Just... keep going. I'll catch up with you soon".

Her sweat was the size of blood drops, and Zeo knew it wasn't just the heat. "Tina, let Camille stay with you. Vulkie and I can handle it." Zeo said, worried. He thought that perhaps they should do this another day, but it was too late to turn back now.

"We can rest in the quiet restaurant down a hill, you know the one we past by few minutes ago." Camille suggested.

"That's a good idea." Vulkie said. "Joseph, let's go. Let's kill Domino and get this over with!"

The group parted company. Zeo and Vulkie continued up the hill.


"Tell me again why we're not taking the car?" Vulkie said as they approached the mansion, breathing heavily.

"They will hear us miles away." Zeo said, then he smiled "Don't worry, Vulkie, we can take one of their car when they're all gone."

The two hid behind some trees to examine the surroundings, and spotted four guards at the front gate. There were barb wires on top of the wall surrounding the mansion.

"Sh*t, this place is like a fortress!" Zeo said.

"Let's get around to the back. May be the backdoor is not as heavily guarded.

The two went around, and saw instead of man, there were two Dobermans. "Excellent! Vulkie said as she took out some steaks she prepared last night.

"You sure this will work?" Zeo frowned.

"These babies here are drugged with elephant tranquilizers. Those two will be sleeping in no time!" Vulkie approached the two large canine, swinging the steaks in front of her. The dogs did not bark upon seeing the steaks, as Vulkie has planned. Carefully Vulkie threw the meat towards the dogs; they were munch them in no time.

Minutes later, the two beasts were sleeping like puppies. "Let's get inside!" Vulkie said. Zeo cocked his tommy gun and the two approached the backdoor.

"Joseph,you still want to go through with this?" Vulkie asked Joseph.

"Sure,why not Vulkie. We're already going through with this. Now let's get this pig for Valentina. Come on!" Joseph said and bursted through the backdoor.

We surprised the cook,who was busy with dinner. As he saw Vulkie and Joseph,he grabbed some knifes and started to threw them towards Vulkie and Joseph.

Vulkie and Joseph slided to cover and negotiated who would distract the cook. Vulkie would distract the cook,while Joseph rushed towards him. The plan was succesfull and soon,the cook was all nice and neatly tied up.

"Where is Domino" Joseph asked nicely.

"Don't know you talking about. Don't know Domino" he replied and Vulkie slapped him in the face.

"Your boss,idiot. The person you are working for. Now,we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Easy way is,you tell us he's upstairs or downstairs. Hard way,we carve you up nicely and you won't survive another day with your wife." Vulkie said,angered and pulled a knife out of the drawer.

"Alright,alright. He's downstairs. He's downstairs" the cook replied. "You better not be lying or you won't survive the next day" Joseph said and we readied our tommyguns,just in case something happened.

And so,we went to the basement. Seems the cook wasn't lying,since Domino had his big wobbly *ss turned towards us,searching for a nice vino.

"Well well well,if it isn't the fat Domino" Joseph taunted and Domino turned around.

"Well,if it ain't my dear old friends. The rat and the copper. Well,seems you found me,that's for sure. How you know I was here?" Domino asked.

"None of your business. The most important thing is,you're going to pay a visit to our friend Valentina D'Angeli. She's looking forward to seeing you once more." Joseph said.

By then,the guards started storming in the basement and Domino tried to escape through a secret door. Joseph and Vulkie started shooting guards and went after Domino,chasing him....

"Vulkie,we need to split up" Joseph said,as we stood still at a two-way possibility. "I'll take right,you take left" Vulkie said and so they departed. There were no guards left,so that was good. Vulkie started to run,shouting "I'm coming to get you Domino. Don't you try to run!" and it echoed back.

"You won't find me Vulkie,that's for sure." Domino taunted back.

The way ended as a dead end and at the end,there stood Domino. Vulkie shot him in the kneecap,so he couldn't run.

"Well,finish me then. You can do it,come one. You know you can do it,you rat!" Domino yelled. He was trying to convince Vulkie to shoot him.

Soon,Joseph joined Vulkie and behind them,Valentina D'Angeli and Camille.

"So it all ends here,huh.." Vulkie said.

"It seems so..." Valentina replied and she took her weapon out,her pistol engraved with rubies.

And so,Vulkie,Joseph and Camille left Valentina behind,so she could get her revenge.

The last thing the three of them heard was a shot.....

Five minutes past, but the three still didn't see D'Angeli returning. Something was wrong. Zeo lead the two ladies back to where they left Valentina, only to see D'Angeli laying on the ground with a gunshot wound in her stomach.

"Tina!" Zeo was frantic. How could Domino had hidden a gun without them knowing it?

Vulkie ran towards the dead end, only to find that it was not a dead end after all. Only then did they realized that Domino would not have ran into a dead end in his own secret passage of his own cottage. Vulkie noticed a secret compartment, where Domino must have hidden a pistol and retrieved it when they were not paying attention. The blood trail Domino left with his injured kneecap stopped abruptly into a wall. Vulkie called for Zeo's help, but his attention was totally focused on the badly bleeding lady in his arms.

"You are not helping, Joseph. Let me, I know how to stop the bleeding." Camille said with a strong Spanish accent. Reluctantly Zeo release D'Angeli to Camille, and went to Vulkie to study the wall. They finally found a switch inside the secret compartment, and the wall slid open. The blood trail continued.

"Fat Domino shouldn't have crawled too far from here with his serious wound." Vulkie said and was about to run after Domino.

"Wait!" Zeo returned to D'Angeli and retrieved her ruby pistol. The two then ran into the secret passage inside the secret passage. In less then a minute, they saw an injured fatso crawling on the floor.

Upon hearing their footsteps Domino fired towards the two. Vulkie and Zeo dodged the raging bullets easily. Vulkie shot Domino in his other leg. The fat man screamed in anguish.

"This is for Tina," Zeo aimed with Tina's pistol and shot Domino in the chest, "and this is for her sister." Zeo fired another shot right into the fat man's skull. Domino went down without a sound.

Camille carried the unconscious Valentina into the secret passage. "I've stopped the bleeding. Tina will live."
