Chapter Twenty-Six


Joseph walked over to Shadow and said, “I called Cobra before we left and told him about the evidence I had and that if he didn’t cooperate with me that I’d make you disappear.”

Shadow’s eyes darkened when she heard what Joey told her and then she asked, “What did he say to you?”

Joey said, “He said that if he believed what I showed him that he’d help me get into the gang and he’d help me expose Gunner for the ass that he is, but if I hurt you, Cobra told me that he’d kill me.”

Shadow’s expression changed and she whispered, “He still cares, doesn’t he?” Joey nodded that he agreed with her and then he said, “I have to call him and set up a meeting so that I can show him the report, I’ll be back as soon as I can and Shadow, please don’t do anything stupid, you’ve come this far, just don’t screw it up.”

Joey walked over to the other side of the room and spoke to Roland who handed him his cell phone, and then Joey called Cobra and set up a meeting between them. He left immediately, only he wasn’t alone, Thunder what following him to make sure that nothing happened to him.

When Joey and Cobra met, Joey handed him the report and said, “Shadow’s with me and some of my friends, she’s fine and when this is over, she’ll go free, but she’s concerned that if she stays here that one of the others might retaliate and kill her if anything happens to Gunner.”

Cobra read the report and when he was done he handed it back to Joey and said, “When this is done, I intend on taking Shadow, then we’ll leave the country and go someplace that is safe, I love her and always have.”

Then they shook hands and Cobra asked, “Be really careful, most of those idiots are loyal to Gunner, don’t be stupid enough to think that you can just come strolling back here and get a warm welcome.”

“Don’t worry about me, I haven’t forgotten how much Gunner hated me when I was in the gang, I’m going to surprise the hell out of him and his stooges, just you be careful not to get caught up in the cross fire.”

So as Cobra walked away, Joseph turned around and headed back to the safe house with Thunder right behind him, as he entered the house, Joseph told Roland, “Cobra’s on our side, now all we have to do is decide when we’re going to go into the lion’s den.”

Thunder walked into the house and he said, “This kids alright, he knows how to handle himself, so when do we get to go play with the big kids?”

Rio, Brownie and Bubba all said, “Yeah, daddy when do we get to go play?” This caused Shadow and Joseph to chuckle and Odeon asked, “Are they always this crazy?” Roland laughed and said, “Sometimes their worse, now let’s get our game faces on, it’s almost time to go have some fun.”


Shadow said, “If I can have a piece of paper, I can make a map of the area, and then you can decide how to get inside without being seen. There’s only one thing I want, and that‘s to be the on who take Gunner out.”

Roland looked at Rio and said, “Get her some paper, if and only if we get inside, I guarantee that you’ll be the one to take Gunner out, that’s your privilege because of what he did to your brother.”

Odeon walked over to Roland and he said, “I believe that we can trust her, if you think so too then I’ll release her from the bond, but only if you want me to.”

Roland looked at Joseph and said, “Just before we enter the area, then you can release her, but don’t let her know, if she still thinks she is bound to you she won’t try anything.”

Odeon nodded that he understood then he went back over, sat down, and waited until it was time to leave.

When Shadow completed the map, she handed it to Joey who walk over and gave it to Roland. Roland looked at it and he couldn’t believe how detailed it was, and then he said, “Alright all of you get over here.”

When they were all standing around the table Roland said, “Alright, now I want Rio over there on the top of that building, Thunder you take your place on top of that building,

And Bubba I need you on top of that building, all of you are the best of the best with your rifles, just make damn sure that when you shoot, make it count.”

Roland looked at Odeon and asked, “Can you shoot a rifle?” Odeon said, “No, but I’m lethal with a knife or dagger.”

Roland then said, “When everyone is in position, I will have Joseph let Gunner know that he’s still alive. When he orders his men to take Joseph, that’s when I want all of you to let them know that they are surrounded.

Then Odeon and I will come out with Shadow and she can confront Gunner with the death of her brother. Hopefully she’ll get through to some of the members and we won’t have to fight, but if it does, remember, Shadow has the right to take out Gunner.”

So after they had all agreed on how they were going to handle the situation, Roland said, “Alright, before we leave, let’s all bow our heads and say our prayer that everyone comes back safely.”

They all bowed their heads and Bubba said, “Please be with us when we go into this mission and please bring us all home safely. Amen.” Roland then said, “Let’s move out.”

As they neared the area, Roland looked at Bubba, Rio and Brownie and said, “All of you get into position and when you let me know that it’s a go, I’ll have Joseph call out to Gunner, now lets get going.”

When Rio, Brownie and Bubba all signaled that they were in position, Roland turned to Joseph and said, “It’s your call, when you’re ready call out to Gunner.”

Joseph walked over to Shadow and he said, “Do what Odeon says, make sure that you cover your ass, we didn’t come this far to lose, take that bastard out.”

She nodded her head and then she kissed his cheek and then Joseph turned and walked to the edge of the building and called out, “Hey Gunner, it‘s Dagger.”

Then all hell broke out, they heard Gunner yelling out orders, “Find out who that piece of shit really is, Dagger’s dead.” Then Cobra shouted out, “How do you know that Dagger’s dead?”

Then Joseph walked out into the open and he said, “That’s because he sent Shadow to do his dirty work, you see your leader is a chicken shit, he orders all of you to do what he’s suppose to do, hell if it were Saber he’d be the one who came after me, not his sister.”

Gunner shouted, “Don’t listen to that son-of-a-bitch, he’s lying. Shadow’s dead, I showed all of you her jacket, it had blood on it.” Cobra then said, “Yeah, that’s what our fearless leader told us, but if he told us the truth then who is that standing over there?”

They all looked over to where the two men were standing, and out from behind the bald one there stood Shadow.

“Gunner’s a liar, he sent me out to kill Dagger, but I found out that Saber had something on one of the Officers and if my brother wasn’t killed, then the Officer would lose his job and go to prison, so Gunner decided to work with the Officer for a price.”

Gunner shouted, “Kill them, they’re all lying to you!” Then they all heard the sound of rifles being cocked and Roland said, “If I were you, I’d look up, there’s guns pointed at your heads, and if I give the signal, my men will blow your heads off.” They all stopped and stood still, Gunner was shouting out orders, but no one listened to what he was saying.

Gunner then grabbed the gun out of one of his men’s hands, pointed it at Dagger, but before he could fire, a bullet hit him between his eyes, he fell to the ground. Shadow stood there with the gun in her hand and she said, “That’s for my brother.”

Cobra then walked out into the area and said, “Everyone put your guns on the ground, this isn’t our fight, it was between Gunner and Shadow, now that she’s eliminated the one who caused Saber’s death, we have no reason to try and fight these men.”

One of the men who was loyal to Gunner yelled, “That bitch killed our leader, I’m not going to let her get away with it.” Then he reached for his gun, but he never brought it up, a bullet took the top of his head off, and Cobra said, “I said put your damn guns down, this fight is over. If any of you want to leave then go, as far as I’m concerned, I’m through with this gang; I’m leaving, so you’ll have to find yourselves another leader.”

Cobra walked over to Shadow, he held her in his arms, and as he turned to face Joey he said, “Thanks for keeping her safe, I owe you one, if I were all of you I’d get the hell out of here and go home. Shadow and I are going do the same, we’re going somewhere far from this place.”

Shadow kissed Joey’s cheek and turned to Roland and the others and said, “I know now what I did to Dagger was wrong, I want to thank all of you for helping me get rid of the one who was responsible for his death.”

Odeon, Roland, Bubba, Rio and Brownie all nodded that they understood, and then Roland turned to Joseph and said, “Let’s get home.” Joey nodded and then they walked back to the house, got their things and Roland drove to the airport.
