It was there on the boat that Tommy thought of that night. It was something that Tommy never thought that he would ever have to do. That was to kill the one that he thought that he could trust. It was Don, the one who had taught him all that he knew in the mob. He was the one that had some of his guys to come out to his house and kill him. That was the reason that he was on this boat, to get away from Don. There was a thought that he would never get away from Don. All Tommy knew was that he had to try, for he knew the power of Don and he would never give up.

Then in that moment Tommy knew what he had to do was to go to Don. It was some thing that he knew was going to end bad for either him or Don. All Tommy knew was that he had to end this, that Tommy knew that he did not want to be running all of his life. And he want to find out the reason what Don wanted Tommy dead.

So Tommy found Don in a local Bar were he went , he went in the people there could not believe that Tommy would come here. He walked up to Don at that moment all time stopped. Don was talking with some one and then turn to see Tommy. The look on his face he knew that Tommy would come to see him. " I see you are here I tell you this you will not get out of this place alive." As he said those words he pulled out a gun , but what Don did not know was that Tommy had his own. He shot Don to his surprise no one came to his aid. It was as they were all waiting to see Don die, Tommy walked out of the bar.

Don thought that he had so many friends. In the end there was no one that cared if he lived or die. It was in that bar that Tommy faced what he knew that he had to get peace. For he knew that Don would always be on his mind if did not kill him first.
