I sat quietly, watching men scour the building. They went around pulling furniture over, bottles went crashing off the bar’s shelf, and someone was even unbolting vents on the air conditioning system that hung from the ceiling. After a few hours, the men had come back together near the bikes. I leaned in with everyone else as Break was the first to say anything.

“Ears?”

Riker nodded, holding up two fingers. He pointed over to the board room, then off to the side of the bar.

Break smiled widely, standing up straight, his voice booming.

“Ok, looks like we’re clear. Next time we get raided I want to know about this shit before I come pulling up. How the fuck did they get up the alley without somebody putting out the alarm?”

“Dig was on watch,” Riker said, spitting in the direction of one of the men. All eyes turned toward a thin and lanky kid who couldn’t be old enough to drink yet.

“I had to use the shitter…” Dig replied, fidgeting.

“You’re lucky I don’t use you as a shitter,” Break said, his teeth bared. “I’m laying down the fucking law on this. Any asshole that leaves that alley without eyes on it is losing their patch.”

“I’m sorry,” Dig replied, his voice trembling.

Break ignored him, shaking his head.

“Charlie, you and Dig need to get up to LA and check on our shit. The last thing we need is these fucks slowing down our work right now,” Break said firmly. Dig nodded, slinking away from the group with a second man I hadn’t been introduced to. The group was quiet as they mounted bikes and the metal steeds roared to life. Break drew the members in close. The echoing rumble of engines was oppressive, even causing the massive roll-up door to rattle in its tracks.

A circle collapsed around Break and he spoke up, his voice barely audible even at close range under the cacophony of sound. “No talking business in here till we pull the ears. Charlie and Dig will drive up to the apartments and oversee repairs on our real estate, that aught to keep the feds off our ass for a few days. I need a few of you to stay here and make this place look busy. The rest of you need to fan out into the city for a day or two, then make your way to the dockside warehouse. We’ll set up shop there until we finish up the deal with Carcetti.”

A few of the men nodded or gave the thumbs up.

“Evan fucking sold us out, didn’t he?” Riker asked, voice growling with anger. “I’ll tie his dick around a fucking chainsaw.”

“Maybe he did, maybe the Kings did, the important thing here is we don’t lose our fucking cool. Keep your nose clean and we get out of this. The shipment is hitting and I’ll be damned if we’re going to let some rat fuck it up for us. We need all bodies to get this shipment off.
