Indiana Jones and the lost Aquila: Part six

Part Six: Where the streets have no name

Indy took the Aquila from Don Lardo in Part 5 and brought it to the US. It is kept in the Museum of Appropriated Historical Artifacts, awaiting examination by experts.

Don Lardo is recovering from his ordeal in the desert in a hospital, but he has sent Tenente Strapazo to the US to contact Don Benito. Don Lardo has helped Don Benito escape from Italy to the US, where Don Benito quickly became the capo di tutti capi of the local Mob.

Don Benito has given some henchmen to Strapazo to re-acquire the Aquila. They have managed to sneak into the Museum and get the Aquila.

The FBI has surrounded the Museum and, assisted by Indy, are intending to catch the crooks red handed.

Strapazo has to get the Aquila to the Italian Restaurant, where a getaway car is waiting.

Strapazo and crew move quickly to towards the gate. Agent Smith emerges from cover and takes out Strapazo! Luckily for Strapazo he has the 9 lives trait and converts the "out of action" into a wound.

Indy, Agent Costner and Agent Garcia move to intercept.

The villains push forward, taking fire from Indy and the G-men.

But Strapazo and his henchmen are returning fire. Oh no, agent Garcia is wounded and down, and agent Smith is out of action.

Agents Connery and Costner blaze away at Mario, the mobster who shot agent Garcia.

Meanwhile, Frankie Five Fingers has shot Indy. Strapazo is trying to take advantage of Indy being wounded and down to get past him. But Indy recovers and uses his whip to attack Strapazo.

And Strapazo is out of action!

After taking out Mario, agent Connery is firing his shotgun as he goes, dropping Luigi.

Frankie Five Fingers has missed several times while firing his Tommy gun at Indy, but not this time. Indy is out of action!

Vito has slipped past agent Connery with the Aquila in the confusion and is heading for the restaurant, but he is stopped cold by a salvo from agent Costner's Tommy gun. 

While Frankie is laughing diabolically after dropping Indy, agent Connery tries to shoot him, but he has run out of ammo.

Only two mobsters are now still in the fight: Frankie and Luigi. Luigi has also run out of ammo however and is shot by a recovered agent Garcia.

Agent Connery uses his empty shotgun as club and charges Frankie. Frankie knocks out agent Connery with the butt of his Tommy gun. From the corner of his eye Frankie sees agent Costner taking aim. Frankie decides to get out while he can and leaves the table.

The heroes have foiled the final attempt by Don Lardo to get the Aquila. Indy recovers from his wounds of course. Tenente Strapazo will spend a lot of years in a US jail. Don Benito carries on with a few goons less and the FBI closing in on his operation.

But what if it had gone differently and the bad guys had won?

Then Rupert Jenkins would have shown up with Winston Churchill (who wanted to see the Aquila) to stop them :-)
