“Say it,” Griz said. “I told you, there’s no need to hold back with us.”
“I didn’t feel like we stumbled into something. What happened felt like we got ambushed.”
“I was thinking the same thing,” Griz said.
“But here’s the thing,” Pony said. “Yes, Wyatt got hit, but we were in a kill box in that alley. If Death’s Head had known what they were doing… we should’ve all been killed.”
“So why weren’t we?” Griz said.
“You ever hear of Philly gangbangers having daily target practice?” Pony said. “Or doing movement while shooting drills? Or training ambush tactics?”
“You’re saying they just threw it together,” Wyatt said. “Haphazard.”
“Yeah,” Pony said. “Most of these Death’s Head guys don’t even aim their weapons, they just point it in the general direction of the other guy and pull the trigger blindly until the gun is empty.”
“And the cartel?” Griz said.
“They’ll be more like me. When I was still on active duty, we trained all the time. Constantly. And then we trained some more.”
“So we need to be ready,” Griz said.
“I’d recommend it.”
“This is looking more and more like a bad idea,” Wyatt said. “I should go with you.”
“You can’t, Wyatt,” Griz said. “With your leg? You’ll just get in the way.”
“Then maybe we should bug out of this, Griz.”
“Can’t,” Griz said. “I have to play this out.”
“Why?” Wyatt said.
“I have to see if Ripper is on the level or not.”
“It seems like a hell of a risk,” Wyatt said.
“Yes, but we have to know,” Griz said. “If Ripper is still solid, than we need to know that and to see if this gun connection is actually going to be a help to us.”
“And if he’s not solid?”
“Then we need to know that too,” Griz said.
“We can’t afford a civil war in the club,” Wyatt said.
“Exactly.”
“It’s a tough call, Griz. I don’t envy you that.”
“There’s been a lot of tough calls lately,” Griz said.
“Yeah, but you can handle it,” Wyatt said, punching him good-naturedly on the arm. “You say we do this, I’m with you all the way.”
“Thanks, Wyatt.”
“What about me, man?” Devil said.
“What about you?” Griz said.
