Daisy raised her head to stare at him.“Is it?Well the Clusoe men are merciless.Would you risk your family to be safe if Demon ever got the chance to walk out of that prison?Because I’ll tell you something right here and right now, he’s done it before.When I was fourteen, the police arrested him and Digger for a murder they made happen.They were as guilty as sin and Demon was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison.He spent maybe three weeks behind bars then his lawyer got him out when someone else turned himself in for the crime.My father walked out free as a freakin’ bird.I later found out he paid the other guy money, a hell of a lot of money to take the blame and he promised to take care of the man’s wife too.Once the man was sitting in his cell, my father had someone in that prison shank him.He died behind bars and my father went to his house and faked a home invasion.He ended up killing the wife and the man’s young son.So you tell me, does he deserve a chance by going to jail?Or should he face Satan?”
The whole room went silent as this shock of a story sunk in.
Then after a long moment Thumper asked, “Can you prove this?”
Daisy nodded.“Tell Fox to pull up the file named ‘Righteous 86.’It’s all there in his own words.”
Pope looked over at Fox and nodded.
Fox pulled the section up and printed it off.He stood from his chair and took the paper from the printer.He handed it to Thumper and went back to his chair.“I read some of it as it printed out and Demon admits and even brags about the deed.At least in his writing, he admitted to everything he’d done.Like it’s a bragging right or something.Like he was so cool that he got away with it all.I hate to agree with what might happen to him at Satan’s hands, but he really is a monster.Just like she says.”
As Thumper read the report his face paled as he saw what Fox had.He looked up at Daisy and asked her, “Does he still have the pendant he took from the wife?”
Daisy nodded.“It had a Fleur de lei on it.He took it off the chair he broke when he ripped it from her throat and he had a Fleur mounted on a man’s ring.He still wears it today.”She shrugged her shoulders and swiped at another tear that had rolled down her face.“My father is simply a man with no morals or soul.The only ones he ever thinks about are himself or his sons.The world might be a better place if he wasn’t in it.I think you all can agree with that.”She paused, then looked at Pope.“I know you all think I’m being hateful about this.But I wished for too long that he was a different person.For my whole childhood I wished for that.And once I grew into adulthood, I knew he would never change.That it would never stop.That was why I grabbed that USB of evil deeds and took off.So if you will excuse me I need to...”Her voice faded away as she got up and walked back down the hall.
Thumper reached for his phone and called the jail.
When the Sheriff answered the phone, Thumper asked, “Did you move the prisoners yet?”
The sheriff snorted.“Yeah, they are tightly set in security lockup.”
“I need you to check on something for me.I need to know if Demon was wearing a Fleur de lei ring.”Thumper asked him.
The sheriff snorted.“I don’t even have to look to tell you that, yeah he was wearing something like that.Even in cuffs, he kept fiddling with, turning it around his finger like it’s his good luck charm or something.It’s in his packet of belongings.”
Thumper now told hom the news, “Ok, I also need to let you know that Satan is going to try and kill them tonight.You see him and Demon were going to become partners in a drug ring and Demon gave Satan a sample of the pills they were going to deliver, except the pills were going to kill Satan’s whole MC.He knows about them and we think he’s going to come for Demon and his boys tonight.Before the team of Marshals arrive tomorrow.”
The Sheriff was quiet for a long moment then he said, “I got state police on their way.Are you still holding Digger?”
“Yeah, he’s still here,” Thumper admitted.
“If Satan is coming here to destroy Demon,” The Sheriff replied.Then he won’t leave Digger out.He might take Demon and his MC out but he isn’t going to miss anyone.You guys better be warned about him.”
“We are and if Satan comes here tonight after Digger, we’ll be ready for him,” Thumper assured him.Before he could say anymore the Sheriff let out a bellow, “I got to go, I just saw the prisoners on video.They have started fighting in security.”
The call ended.
Thumper looked at Pope.“Well, I think Satan is making his move at the jail.”
Pope looked around the room then he shook his head.“Damn, I was hoping this wouldn’t actually go down tonight.”
Bishop scoffed.“You should have known a man like Satan wouldn’t just let this go.Demon was willing to kill his entire MC.That’s not something he could ever forget or forgive.”
A half hour later...
There were gunshots from several places outside.
The men all rushed to their positions and started to fire back.
As the battle raged, a man slipped over the fence.Like a shadow, he moved to the shed and with a small crowbar he broke the lock then he slipped inside.
The gunshots covered the sound of the man inside screaming.
He was now gagging and struggling as the shadow strangled him.The shadow man just held the man down and watched his suffering.He leaned over and a sliver of moon light showed Satan’s face.He grinned and said, “Well Digger, your daddy fucked this up good.He missed killing me but I didn’t miss killing him and your two brothers.They should be in hell any minute now to join you when you arrive.”He just held Digger down and watched his suffering.
Digger tried to loosen his hold but to no avail.
Satan smirked.“No one on the face of his earth is gonna cry over your kin, and nobody will miss them either.The next time your daddy makes a deal, it’ll be with the devil himself.”He saw the deed was done as he wanted to do this himself.He tossed Digger’s body down to the floor like discarded trash.
