MC: Pres: Book Four (5 page)

Wrecker: “Wrecker on.”

Plank: “Plank on.”

Horse: “S4 on.”

Allan: “Allan on.”

Loma: “Loma on.”

“Clean up you’re on with Team Two.  Check in was requested.”  Sticks tells them.

Dave: “C1 on.”

Joe: “C2 on.”

Petey: “C55 on.”  I laugh at this one.  Holding my mic I ask Sticks what the fuck he’s doing on the Team.

“He wants to see the cars.  He’s in the wrecker.”  He laughs.

Kick: “C3 on.”

Vinny: “C4 on.”  I can hear him laughing.

“If you didn’t get this yet, this is Pres running your ops and Sticks is on controls. Stay alert and follow directions Brothers.  Objective is to get the gang out of our yard with no casualties or injuries.”

I look over at VP; he’s talking into his headset.  He looks at me and nods.  “Let’s roll Brothers.  D11 gave you our plan we follow it unless I give you a change.”  I move to the other side of Sticks.  VP moves to the other side of Digs.  We’ve done this so often it comes naturally.  I read my plan again as the Brothers roll out of the yard.

Me: “C55 your stop is at Sandpiper and Bay.  Wait for a destination as the pussies are cleared.”

C55: “Roger.”  We watch Petey rolling down Main.

Me: “Team Two PD is in a meeting.  You’re clear to pace with D11.  We’re moving fast, we have a two hour window.”  I watch them close the gap and ride in tight.

Sticks: “D11, I lose you on the turn and pick you back up at the second block.”

D11: “Roger.”

We watch them go under a tree and pick them back up at the next block.  I look at the HS Team boards.  Looking back I see Chet holding a block away.  Doug continues to the next block.  VP is guiding Team One on the side of me.  Allan and Horse circle from a block away and stay in position.

Me: “Cleanup, wait for my one.”

C1: “Roger.”

Sticks: “We got company coming in, three blocks north of S4 and Allan.”

Me: “S4 Keep covered and stop incoming.  Red Camaro moving slow.”

VP looks at my boards.  I watch as Horse hits the front tires.  The pussies get out of the car and Allan and Horse come out with guns aimed.  Pussies put their hands up.  That was almost too fuckin easy.  This doesn't feel right.

Me: “Cleanup One, in three, two, one.  Come to S4’s position from behind.”  Allan and Horse have the pussies on the ground.  Allan shoots 5 feet away from a guy moving to stand; he lies down again arms out to the side.  I smile.  Cleanup shows cuffing the guys and throwing them in the truck.  “C55 move to S4, pick up the Camaro.”

C55: “Roger.”

Team One has four guys on the ground with Driscoll holding a gun on them.  VP looks over, “Cleanup.”

Me: “Cleanup Two move to HS D10 position.

C2: “Roger.”

Petey is pulling the car onto the wrecker.  “Cleanup One move south two blocks and hold position.”  I have them move to where people won’t hear if the pussies yell.

C1: “Roger.”  I hear the guys yelling over the line.

Me: “Shut them up however the fuck you can.”

C1: “Roger, with pleasure.”  Dave says making me laugh.

Sticks: “Orange Charger moving fast D11, he’s alone coming from your west.

D11: “Roger.”

Me: “Whatever it takes D11.”

He fuckin walks out to the middle of the street holding his gun out.  The pussy slams his breaks on, Sticks laughs.  Chet walks to the driver’s side never lowering his gun.  He opens the door and punches the guy pulling him out and dragging the pussy to the side of the car.

D11: “Clear.”

Me: “Cleanup One to D11’s position.”  Again, too fuckin easy.

C1: “Roger.”  I wait for Dave to get to Chet.

Me: “C55 to D11’s position, pick up the Charger.”

C55: “Roger.”  We watch Petey swing around and pull into position.  “Pres, do I need to call for another wrecker?”

Me: “Call for another one, switch out with the driver and hold position until I clear you.  We have two Mustangs sitting with HS.”  I don’t want to go through the whole spiel again.

C55: “Roger.”

VP is pacing and talking low.  I look over to his boards.  Fuck they got a regular shootout going on in the fuckin backyard.  “LP1 & 2 take em out.  Ain’t fuckin around.”  I watch Danny and Rich stand up shooting as they walk.  Rich’s body jerks but he keeps moving forward.  Danny lowers his gun and looks at Rich.  He gets a nod and VP laughs.  He looks at me.  “Cleanup.  We’re clear.”

Me: “Cleanup One and Two move to HS Position.”

Sticks: “Truck barreling down Main was recognized and tagged.”  VP tells Team One to be ready.

Me: “Team Two, hold your position.  Cleanup, hold your position.”  I look up at Main.  “D11 head north on Main and cover C55.  The fuckin cars are visible.”

D11: “Roger.”

Me: “Team Two Hold your position means Don’t Fuckin Move!”  I see the Brothers stop.  Chet makes it to the wrecker in time to shoot at the fuckin driver as he raises his gun at Petey.   “Thank Fuck.”  I let out my breath.  “C55 Go right around him, D11 will handle the truck.  Get that wrecker back asap.”

C55: “Roger.”  When he makes it around the truck VP laughs.  I see Chet beating the fuck out of the pussy.

Me: “Team Two move into position and clean it up.  C1 move to D11's position.”   I look at VP.  “I love the quick and easy.” Dave picks up the pussy Chet beat the fuck out of.  I watch my team beating the fuck out of guys giving them lip and laugh.  They need the release.  “D11, S4, move to HS position and cover them.”

D11: “Roger.”

S4: “Roger.”

I watch Danny check Rich’s chest.  He runs his hand down his shirt, they both smile.  Steve laughs.  “LP’s, think we can do show and fuckin tell later?  Need the fuckin contents of the house so I know who to send for cleanup.”  They both look to the camera and laugh nodding their heads.  They head into the house.  “Fuckin LaPontes.  No fuckin fear and always fuckin laughin.”

Digs and Sticks crack up.  I look at the boards.  The Brothers are dragging the pussies by one arm to throw them in the trucks.  The bodies make it to the other truck.  They’re rearranging transport.  I smile.  Fuckin Brothers are so fuckin good at this.

Me: “Team Two we have fifteen minutes.  Get me clear before I have to explain to fuckin PD what the fuck we’re doing with stolen cars and the bodies that owned them.”  They start moving faster.

C1: “Clear.”

C2: “Clear.”

Me: “C55: Pick up the truck and head to salvage.  C1, call for a truck to pick up Wrecker and Plank’s bikes.  Wrecker, Plank, drive the Mustangs to Salvage.  Brother will bring your bikes up to you.  Brothers make sure we have all keys from all pockets.”

C1: “Roger.”

Wrecker: “Roger.”

Plank: “Roger.”

C55: “Roger.”

Me: “Team Two: Nice fuckin job!  Even with the surprises we have no casualties.  Thank LP2 for the thorough plan.  I’ll meet you at the club at five.  Sticks has your six.  I’m out.”

They collectively say, “Pres.”

I take off the headset handing it to Sticks.  "Don’t leave your seat until everyone is out of the house and clear.”  He nods keeping his eyes on the screen.  I turn and watch HS still walking through the house.

Steve yells for a Prospect.  “Get to the house, pick up the guns.  LP2 is sendin pictures, get with Digs to catalogue when you get back.”  He listens and tells Digs to call Rob to collect a box from the house.  “LP2, carry the money, we can count when you get here.  Rob’s comin for the box; he’ll deliver to Doc.  Nice fuckin job Brothers.”

I pull my phone and call Keith.  “Get me the names and injuries of the kids that were beat by the gang.  Send it to me asap.”  I look at Steve, “did they give you an approximate on the money?”

“Over twenty.”  He’s not fuckin happy.

“Fuck.  That isn’t from a couple of days here.”  Fuck, someone is owed that money.

“Rich has a phone holdin Outlaw number.  Ain’t handin it back to fuckin Outlaws.”

I nod.  “Fuck just what we fuckin need.  Could have been Outlaws supplying them to move in here.”

“Yeah, thought the same thing.”  He says watching his boards.  “You hangin here?”

“Just waiting for the list of kids that were hit by the pussies.  Depending on the money I want to spread it to them and a share to Chris from Little Brothers mom.  We can use it to pay for her car repairs and get her a grocery card.”  I look from the board to him.

He nods without taking his eyes off the screen.  “Maybe keep her from goin back to the fuckin loser hit Chris.”

“Yeah.”  I wanted to go beat the fucker myself when Danny told me.  I sent Patches with him.  I thought he would be the calmer choice.  Patches said he went off on the fucker when he pushed Chris’ mom.  Me and Steve watched Danny pull him out the door and beat the fuck out of him on the front lawn.  Danny ended up putting the asshole in the hospital.  He fuckin came back like he’d just taken a walk on the fuckin beach.  Fuckin Danny.  “I’m out, let me know how much we’re talking about and I’ll get Keith to disburse it.  Meet you at the club at five.  Get Dave to check for tracking on the cars.  If they’re from the Outlaws they’ll be watching them.”

“Pres.”  He throws chin still watching the boards.

Danny

I call Kate and tell her I need to be at the Club for five.  "Jess is coming over.  We're heading to the Diner."  She tells me.

VP must have already called Jess.  "Do you want me to come get them settled?"  I ask.

"No my Badass Biker we got it covered.  Thank you for getting rid of the dealers today."  I can hear the smile in her voice.

"Fuckin VP."  She laughs.  "I won't stay long Kate." 

"I was hoping for some girl time with Jess and some margaritas.  Take your time." 

I laugh.  "Alright Beautiful we'll be home after eight." 

"Perfect!  Thank you, love you Danny."

"Love you too baby." 

I get changed and head up to Surveillance.  Rich is on the boards already.  "How's your chest feel?" 

He looks at me quick then back at his boards.  "I'm fine dad.  Digs let Wrecker know PD is two blocks over.  He needs to stop playing in the fuckin car." 

I watch, this could get addictive, I turn away.  "Am I done for today?"  I ask him. 

"I just ran the plan.  I don't know if VP or Pres need you.  You want me to check.  "Fuckin Wrecker.  Digs get me on with him."  He's following the Mustang.  "Wrecker get that fuckin car back to Salvage before I hunt your fuckin ass down and drag it behind while
I
get the fuckin car to Salvage my fuckin self."  We watch the car spin around and head to Salvage. 

"Looks like you're busy, I'll check in with VP.  Good plan today Rich.  Fuckin proud of you."  I slap his back.

He smiles at me then goes right back to his board.  "Thanks dad.  I'll see you at the Club." 

I head to VP's office across the hall.  He looks up as I walk in.  "Nice job today Danny." 

"Thanks VP.  You need me for anything else today?" 

"Could use you to get the money to Geek.  Needs to be run through the counter.  Got Security transportin and dumpin.  Nothin else from here.  We fuck up your day?"

I smile.  "No, I still have time to do my day job, it was going to be light today.  I'll drop the money then I need to check the Club's safe room door on the first floor.  Rob said he hit the jam with a hand truck and it's not sealing right."  He nods and reaches behind him handing me a backpack.  "See you at the Club."  He throws chin as I walk out.

At the Club I drop the money with Geek and get to work fixing the door jam.  Rob comes in and gives me a hand cutting the new piece for me.  I get it up and painted then clean up the tools.  Rob orders us sandwiches from the Sub Shop.  We eat waiting for the paint to dry.  I can't leave the door open so I don't have a choice.  Ben comes in and groans.  I laugh and give him half my sandwich.  He sits with us telling us about the money going to the kids that were beat up by the gang.  "I like that."  I tell him.  Rob agrees.  They talk about a couple of the Brothers that are having trouble.  I check my paint.  Thank fuck it's dry; I don’t want to hear about all their shit.  I’ve got my own to deal with.  I try the door a couple of times and decide it's good. 

I slap Rob's back and look at Ben.  "Kate and Jess are doing margaritas tonight.  I told her I'd stay out til after eight.  I'll see you here at five."  Rob is watching us so I keep it light but let him know of Kate's plans.

He throws chin.  "Nice job today Brother.  Is Rich ok?" 

"Yep, said he's fine Pres."  I tell him as I walk to the door.  I need to get to the other side of the yard and check on the crew putting a new kitchen in the donut shop that's due to open next month.  I get on my bike thinking I ride all fuckin day.  I'm glad I'm not stuck in a fuckin building all day. 

Ben

I'm so glad this fuckin day is almost over.  Right from the beginning it was fuckin busy.  The longest time I sat was for lunch and it wasn't even my fuckin lunch.  I'm fuckin starving.  Dropping files on my desk I turn seeing a Prospect waiting.  The kid looks scared.  I just look at him.  What the fuck?  Prospects aren't allowed back here.
