{"product_id":"2940153835853","title":"American Gangster","description":"\u003cp\u003eI followed Big Johnny through the house and out the back door to his garage. Once inside he pointed to a pile of cash on the table: \"It's all there, count it.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"It looks alright to me.\" I reached into the bag and pulled out my gun. \"What the fuck?\" Then he yelled something in Spanish. It must have been a signal. I heard the back door slam shut and feet running. Standing five foot - ten inches tall and weighing every bit of 400 pounds - Big Johnny made the perfect human shield.\u003cbr\u003e\"Tell them to toss their guns inside and walk in slowly with their hands in the air.\" I held my gun to the back of his head - keeping him between me and the door. He repeated my request, half in Spanish and half in English.\u003cbr\u003e\"Fuck him, essa. I'm putting a bullet in his white ass,\" replied a voice with a thick Latino accent.\u003cbr\u003eI could see the sweat starting to run down the back of Big Johnny's shaved head. I pushed the barrel harder into the base of his skull and whispered in his ear, \"He may put a bullet in me – homeboy - but not before I send this one right out through the front of your face - comprende?\"\u003cbr\u003eWith an urgent - almost pleading tone - Big Johnny said something else in Spanish. After a long moment of silence three guns skidded across the floor and in through the doorway. With their hands in the air - three Mexican gangsters came in.\u003cbr\u003eAdrenaline was rushing through my veins - making me feel better than any drug I've ever done. This is what I lived for - I was in my element.\u003cbr\u003e\"You,\" I said, pointing to one of the three amigos. \"Come over here, empty this bag and put the money inside.\" I tossed the black gym bag onto the table. \"Then I want you to put those guns inside - one at a time.\" When he was finished I walked them out single file into the yard.\u003cbr\u003eBig Johnny was the first to lie on the ground next to the brick wall separating his and his neighbor's yard. I put the three amigos on top of him and used them as stepping-stones to scale the wall. I threw the gym bag over, put my gun in my pants and followed. Landing on my feet I grabbed the bag on the run.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AL Harlow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070432231664,"sku":"2940153835853","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940153835853_p0.jpg?v=1764057453","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940153835853","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
