The Loyal Lieutenants Act Zero Final Scene

 

Act Zero

Final Scene

 

Caesar read the report sent by Mark to him.

Genus Pompey is dead. He confessed to planning the revolt and was shot dead at sea. His body was never found. He did not implicate Brutus or any others living in the plot. He claimed it was all Cicero’s desperate work.

Junior is in Philly and will remain in exile. His godfather, Brutus, will maintain his lifestyle there.

Moses and Isaac's deaths were done by Pompey, but there was no evidence besides the verbal words of his boys.

As to Egypt, they remain our customers at the wharfs.

Elliot Ness had returned to Rome with the boys. He was given a package of shutting down part of the Muddles operation on arrangement with the new leader there. The Romans gave a street in compensation to the Muddles.  There was another reason for that. He needed the numbers to report on. There was a catch to the heist.

“There is a connection between the Muddles and the Sicilians. We have now terminated that supply line here.” The Muddles were glad for that to be disassociated with the Sicilians; it was costing the Muddles money.

It was an opener for Elliot Ness to be promoted and moved upstate. Mark presented Elliot with a nice lunch and a new nickname,’ “Elliot, you have been remarkable to a target for several attempts and survived. I will say you are truly untouchable.”

“The Treasury moving me North to take on my war with the Sicilians.” Elliot smiled. “With my experiences here, I knew I needed a good team to battle them.”

“You will have our blessing there. You are aware that we cannot offer you any assistance but be assured once we have any good info, we will tell you.” Mark assured the other. Elliot left then on the train to battle a new war.

His battle with his virginity remained un-won till then. Well, whatever did not happened in Rome will remain disclosed to anyone from Rome.

Caesar's thoughts were then diverted by the sight of his lover.

“Darling, are you in your thoughts again?” Cleop looked at the man who was consolidating the influence and power of Egypt.

“Never when I am with you.” Caesar smiled at the loving lady.

“We just got words that the Porto Rico has called an alliance with us. Your influence is appreciated.” Lady Cleop smiled. “Shall I get on my knees to worship you now?”

All done, and that leaves Mark Antony with mixed feelings. He got the message from Caesar to go to Egypt.

“Leave Rome to the New Triumvirate. Bring Enobarbus with you. I need your presence here.” It was not a request, but an order. After all, lieutenants are like slaves.

They are to obey their master.

“Yes, Caesar.” Mark Antony muttered out. “Soon, Boss.”
