Everyone in the room was busy searching for anyone hurt. Thankfully, only the main room had been hit and not the living areas. But they could all hear kids crying and women talking from down the hallway.
“Those fuckers are dead,” Hawk stated with rage in his voice. “Echo, Cuffs,” he called out to his IT men. “Get me any faces, any men close enough to be identified.”
“Leon!” a voice shouted from far off.
They all looked around.
Leon gazed down and picked up his cell phone to speak into it, “I apologize for the rude interruption Sergi, but we just survived two missiles here at the Sinners Compound.”
“Chert poberi!” Holy hell. Sergi replied. “The war has begun. Let me know if you need anything at all.”
“I will, my friend. I have to see about my bodyguard, he was hit.”
“Oh, my. Da, do svidaniya.” Yes, goodbye.
The police arrived and the fire trucks along with a couple of ambulances. Only Rafael and Pony were injured. Pony had a broken arm. Calderone did have a large cut on his shoulder that needed stitches. Most everyone else just had cuts and scrapes.
Hawk was livid. He became relentless and was pacing for an hour until his wife came out to calm him down.
Leon called men in to surround the outer parameter of the entire compound. It took fifty men. He told Hawk it would be around the clock until this was over. He had the same done around his own property.
They had already sent someone to check out the old place where the Serpents had met up at and no one was there of course.
Austa came forward and told them this group had mentioned a place near downtown. An old bar... The Cannon Ball.
They needed Austa though to go with them as she was the only person who knew what any of these men looked like.
Dak and Prosper went with her, accompanied by Atlas and Rebel.
It took about a half hour for the SUV to get over to the old part of town. Dak had suggested that he and Austa go in as if on a date and the other two men followed.
They all went in.
The place was dark and sort of dreary. Old wood floors and all original decor like an old bar dedicated to ships and boats. Fishing nets and old nautical memorabilia hung everywhere along the walls. Mostly older single men sat at the bar. There were some card games going on at a few tables though.
Dak escorted Austa to a table and pulled out her chair. With a nod at her, he made his way over to the bar and ordered two beers.
She sat and watched him, then she casually looked around. With a gasp, her gaze halted on a younger guy who was staring daggers at her. She recognized him instantly. Fang, one of Bear’s sons. She turned her head and caught the eye of Atlas then swiveled her gaze over to Fang.
Fand instantly bolted up from his chair, but he could see Atlas and Prosper heading his way. Knocking the chair over, he ran through the bar toward the back.
Atlas and Prosper were on his tail and they caught him at the door. Screaming and fighting, Fang was loud. Prosper punched him in the mouth and he passed out. The two men then quietly took him out the back door.
Dak set the beers down and watched them go out. He sat in his seat and smiled at her. “Well, we got one of them.”
Grabbing her beer, Austa took a sip and looked up at him “He might have been waiting for someone. So maybe we...” Her voice fell away as her eyes widened.
Coming up behind Dak was another of the Serpents that she recognized and he was heading straight for them with a gun in his hand.
“Duck!” she yelled at Dak and whipped her weapon out to shoot the guy.
Grabbing his arm, he screamed and went down.
Dak scrambled up and turned to kneel down next to the man. Her shot got him in the shoulder. Dak took his gun. Immediately, he dug into his jean pocket and tossed a twenty onto the table. “Let’s go!” He hauled the man up onto his shoulder and they headed for the door.
Two men appeared there at the bar entrance, large and menacing. They both held guns aimed at the couple.
“Shit,” Austa grumbled.
