Chapter 14 – Boar’s Head

Mel

Late Morning, Thursday, February 12th

Morelville, Ohio

“Mel, dispatch just got a call from a security company. The silent alarm is going off at The Boar’s Head.”

Barb’s Bar...

“Rolling,” I told Holly.

“The arraignment?” she asked me as I strode toward the door.

“It’s not until 3:30. I’ll be back in plenty of time.”

On my way out the door, Mason was just coming in for duty. “You’re with me,” I told her. “Let’s go.” I filled her in on the little I knew as we made our way to my vehicle.

Barb’s cell number rang through on my personal cell as I was climbing in.

“I just got the call,” I told her without preamble. “I’m en-route. Where are you?”

“On my way there too. Almost there in fact; the alarm company called me.”

“Turn around and go home. It’s probably nothing,” I told her.

“No way, Mel.”

“I promise; I’ll call you as soon as I assess the situation.”

She hung up on me.

“Shit!”

We arrived at the scene 15 minutes later to find more than a dozen motorcycles tearing around in the parking lot in the cold and driving across the now broken up remnants of what had been the front entry porch. The door was standing wide open and the dark tinted glass front window was shattered. Inside we could see that there were more bikes and bikers.

Outside, one biker fired a shotgun into the air and hollered something but I couldn’t make out what he was saying above the roar of all of his marauding fellow gangbangers on Harleys.

Three of my cruisers were already on the scene, amassed across the road. Barb’s own SUV was over there too, several yards behind the three cruisers, but I couldn’t see her inside.

I pulled in alongside the car of my Patrol Sergeant, Joe Treadway and parked then I got on my two way and ordered traffic diversions to be set up immediately in both directions and coming North out of Morelville. I didn’t want any cars going by on the road and innocent people being fired upon.

Mason and I both dismounted. Using my door as shield, I worked my way around the back of my truck and up behind his cruiser. He was back behind it, keeping it between him and the bikers across the way. He had his shotgun at the ready and a look of pure determination in his eyes.

“What the hell, now?” I questioned him.

“Other than they’re all Z Renegades over there, no idea Sheriff. Been here about 10 minutes. Gates and McDonald both got here just before me. They said it was already like this when they got here.”

I tossed my head behind me. “That’s the owner’s SUV back there. Where’s she?”

“I told her to get back in it and get out of here. She’s in there; won’t leave.”

I moved back over to my SUV, popped the rear lift gate and got out my own shotgun and handed it to Mason. Then I took out a portable bullhorn and my binoculars. Moving back alongside Treadway where I could see more, I raised the optics to my eyes and peered across at the bar.
