Boomer shook his head and enlightened them, “Not here, you won’t.You and yours have a lot to answer for in the eyes of the law.”
Titus nodded in agreement as he raised his hand and motioned around the area.“And we got all of this on tape.The Sheriff can’t get here at the moment.So, for now, until the threat is over, you’ll have to be housed in our cells.”He looked up at Ridge and Guardian.“Gather some men and take these bozos to the cells.Make sure you get all their weapons.Then we still got four others roaming this mountain and we have to find them.”
Guardian nodded at two of the men.They then grabbed two of the Sanchez group men and pushed them toward the clubhouse.Ridge and Hot Rod pushed at the other two.
Titus followed them with his rifle still on them.
Boomer just looked around the woods then he turned his head toward his brother.“What do you want to do about the ones that got away?”
Bouncer looked around as well.“Ironman and Ulysses can track them.They can take a couple of the guys along.But the rest of us will watch very carefully to make sure no one else joins the fray.I don’t trust that this is really over.Crank’s brothers are out there and I don’t trust them, not even a little bit.They are Todd’s sons.”
Boomer nodded.“True enough.Maybe Trudy has more of what Todd was really doing back home.”
Bouncer shook his head and added, “I still can’t believe Todd put Crank’s name on one of his illegal clubs, that’s insane.”
Boomer nodded.“Insane?Maybe, but ole Todd knew what he needed to do.Even if Crank denied it, he could still link his son to his empire.”Then he grinned.“Too bad Crank turned that around on his daddy and he got the Marshal’s inside the back door.That helped Crank too.Then Trudy brought up the forgery and that helped Crank prove he had nothing to do with the club.”
Bouncer nodded.“True enough and that was the start of good ole Todd’s decline.Too bad Ricco shot him full of holes for sleeping with his wife.Personally, I would have liked to have seen ole Todd standing in front of a judge in an orange jumpsuit.”
Boomer shrugged.“Yeah, that would have been worth the admission, but that was also the start of bringing the whole Sanchez family down too.”He looked out into the distance.“But we still have to worry about Lily.It figures she started this shootout then left the family behind to take the bullets.It must be their family trait to look out for only yourself.”
“She literally walked away when the shooting started,” Bouncer exclaimed.“Like what kind of chickenshit crap is that?But even she has to know she doesn’t have any backup left.I have a feeling that her family will never forgive her for that little stunt.”
Boomer just shook his head sadly.“Yeah, family means something to most people but that family doesn’t mean a thing to anyone but themselves.They just take and take, thinking everyone else doesn’t matter.But life isn’t like that.And they learned that lesson the hard way today.They lived by violence and they died by violence.Was it really worth it?I don’t think so.”
“Me either but this is something we have to finish.”Bouncer sighed hard.“We didn’t want this war but we will end it.I won’t be looking over my shoulder every day, looking for a bullet.”
“Me either brother, that ain’t no kind of life to live.”Boomer sighed.“My mountain finally settled down into peace and it has been bliss.Yours will too.”
They both stepped around the blood puddles to head back to the clubhouse.
Chapter Two
Once they got backinside, they saw Titius talking to Ironman and Ulysses, assigning them to find the missing ones.
They both took men with them.
