Hatch, Alamo, Doom, Dash, and I were stuck together in a room way too small for five men who couldn’t stand to be caged in.

“I hate all this waiting around bullshit,” Dash said as he paced the floor of our cramped motel room.

“Try pacing some more, that should help.” Alamo’s slow drawl dripped with irritation.

“Fuck you, Alamo.”

“Both of you shut up, you’re giving me a headache,” Hatch grunted. He was lying on his back with a pillow pulled over his eyes.

Doom stood by the window as lookout, but he scowled at no one in particular as Dash continued to pace.

“It’s been a few hours since Doc replied to the meeting request. How do we even know they got the reply or that they’ll even respond?” I asked.

“They’re businessmen and blood is expensive. It’s in their best interest to make peace with the Dogs,” Alamo said. “Plus, if they believe that we’re waving a white flag after what happened with Badger and the Club, they’ll be walking into the meeting thinking they’ve already won, and that’s exactly what we want.”

Just then, we heard a knock on the adjoining hotel door. It was Doc and Dalton (who was about as “G-Man” as they get). Apparently, he had a reputation among those he worked with to be a stand-up guy with an almost sixth sense about things. Doc, Alamo, and Hatch trusted him with their lives and that was good enough for me.

“The meeting is on,” Doc said.

“Finally! When are you going?” Dash asked.

“Apparently they don’t want me. They have someone else in mind.” He raised an eyebrow and looked back at Dash.

“Me? Why me?” he asked.

“Hey, man, the word we got back is they want you. Apparently, you’re viewed as quite the “fly in the ointment” of their organization ever since you went off half-cocked after the church shooting.”

“Shit,” Dash said.

“They know it was you that brought the heat down on them, and got half of their crew locked up. If we want to meet with them, that’s their terms. It’s you and only you at the meeting.”

“Fuck that! It’ll be an ambush. We can’t let him walk in there alone,” I protested.

“I’ll do it,” Dash said.

“Whoa, hold on there a second,” Doc said. “We need to think about this.”

“What’s there to think about?” Dash demanded. “Clearly, I’m the one that started all this shit, and I’m the one they wanna see. If this is what it takes to make it happen then so be it.”

Agent Moore spoke up, “Dash I appreciate your willingness to help, but we can’t let you go in there alone. We at least need to get you hooked up with some surveillance gear.”

“Wear a wire? No fucking way,” Dash said.

“I’ve gotta agree with him there,” Doc said. “If they find a wire on him he’s dead for sure.”

“When is this supposed to go down?” Alamo asked.

“Tonight at ten, at the private golf course near the river.”

“Then it’s settled, I’ll be there alone, without a wire,” Dash said matter-of-factly.
