“We all know it’s not a question of if they will go seek revenge, it's a matter of when,” I continued, sitting up straighter in my seat, it was business time. Turning to Stryker, I began to lay out the flaws in their plan. “We have been making sure that Phee is protected but what we failed to take into account are the other girls, Cami and Luca, they are fine for now since they and Phee are rarely apart. When they aren’t with her, well Luca is with Madden now that Ethan is away at college, and Cami she’s got Nate.
The only one left unprotected is Paige. During the day she is fine she has Cian—”
“The fuck,” Stryker interrupted, clearly not having known the extent of Cian’s involvement. Turning to his father. “Did you know about this?”
“Calm down son and take a seat,” Killian addressed his son, ignoring the question Stryker had just asked before turning to me. “It would appear that you know more than you initially let on Damon, but what you're failing to answer is why it should be you that brings her home. I agree that my actions and that of my son was the catalyst but that doesn’t tell me what your vested interest in all this is, because you and I both know that it has nothing to do with Ms Brooks.”
“What my reasoning is, shouldn’t matter, we both want the same outcome—Paige home safe. At least if I go after her, I can both bring her back safely and help her with taking down the Ducane brothers once and for all.” I laid out my plan, now it was time for them to take the bait. If they agreed to this I’d be asking for one thing in return, a partnership, moving forward the Scorpions and Lennox' would work together.
My guys moved weapons, supplying them as well as having them for protection. Both organizations hated the skin trade, mine also hated the drug trade. Many of my guys had either grown up with junkie parents or had lost people close to them because of drugs. We dealt mainly with weapons and now that we had Jonah we could also deal in intel, something that I know the Lennox’ would need when it came to their special jobs.
“You know it's a win-win situation Killian, Paige will feel as though she is being heard, it will calm her down somewhat and we can deliver a huge blow to the Lord’s of Salem,” I proceeded with my pitch, noting that both Lennox’ men wanted to interject several times. “I know they took a hit with losing Kyle and to some extent Logan, but if we cut off the heads and dismantle the organization at the same time we can end their skin trade.”
“What’s in it for you?” Killian finally asked me the question I’d been waiting for. “What do you hope to get out of this?”
“As you know my club runs a weapons trade, with our new prospect we will also be delving into the intel side of things. I suggest becoming business partners, we can supply you with the guns and information needed to carry out your hits,” I paused, allowing this to sink in. There was no surprise in Stryker’s expression, he knew this would eventually come, Killian, however seemed to be taken a little off guard by it all. “My tech guy is currently working to financially disable the Lords, we will split the proceeds fifty fifty with you, securing the funds in untraceable offshore accounts.”
“And all I have to do is agree to let you, what, run point on this job?” Killian warily asked, he appeared to be in deep thought.
“Take your time to think it through, either way I’m going after her tonight, I’ll be taking my own guys. We will have this wrapped up quickly,” I added, getting up from my chair, it was time to leave and get shit together back at the club house. First thing in the morning Madz and I would be heading out. I extended my hand a second time. “When we get back, you can give me your answer. I’ll keep you posted should there be any changes.”
