《Cowboy, Reborn.》Party 4
Advertisement
Sam was having a smoke outside of the car trying to calm his nerves.
Leo and Deano were also outside having a heated conversation, while they all waited.
Hugo was in the drivers seat, being to lazy to leave the car. Taliya was in the passengers seat waiting impatiently, while Tom was, well Tom was being supportive for Taliya.
Seeing the familiar bmw followed by a silver range rover, Leo waved them down. Finishing his conversation with Sam and Deano they all got in the car.
Slowing at a snail's pace, the bmw stopped on the road next to the old station wagon.
Hugo quickly turned the crank window handle, only just noticing that the person adjacent to him wanted to talk.
Dante was in the driver's seat on the right, and the person next to him was his good friend who he had been playing pool with. Hugo felt pressure from Dantes friends discernible stare, making him unable to look him directly in his eyes. Although, It could of also been the fact that the person had a wondering eye leading Hugo to become confused of what eye to look into.
"Just follow us, we know the place." Dantes friend said.
Nodding excessively Hugo waited until the range rover passed then followed along.
Driving ahead, Dante's friend had a concerned look.
"Do we have to take these kids along?
Turning a corner Dante answered."Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing. I Think I'll just have them be the get away drivers for Nadine."
Turning another corner he continued.
"Were getting close, ring them and let them know the plan, then ring four fingers and let him know of the changes. Oh yeah, one of the kids is Luca's brother so don't say anything stupid."
Dante's friend couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, because he was planning on being brazen during the phone call.
"That guy in the passenger seat did look like Luca quite a bit." Dante's friend said in a dispirited tone.
With a frown Dante replied. "No, the kid smoking was his brother. Wait, actually Luca has two brothers so the passenger could be his other brother
Picking up Dantes phone his friend couldn't help but worry.
"I just hope they're not as crazy as Luca."
Answering the phone call, Taliya was first told to put the phone on speaker. After following those actions, Dante's friend explained that they were to only pull up to the house with the engine running getting ready to leave once Nadine got out. Taliya was about to ask for more details but Dante's friend had already hung up.
Reaching the street of the hideout the range rover overtook the bmw taking the lead. Taking a sharp turn left, the range rover entered the narrow driveway that was only large enough to fit one vehicle.
Steering down the driveway four fingers the driver of the range rover, saw a closed chained gate with a sign zip tied on it saying Harpel Kings. Strangely, the sign was spray painted over. Seeing the gate firmly locked, four fingers slammed the acceleration speeding up. When he Collided with the gate it flew a few meters ahead bouncing once and then falling to a complete stop.
Further ahead to the left four fingers saw the two story building. It had smashed windows all over, some covered by cardboard but most weren't. You couldn't perceive a single speck of grass on the front area, only mud with tyre marks and shoe marks imprinted within. The Ute was parked up behind 2 other vehicles. Each vehicle was on an angle pointing towards the two story building. Glancing around four fingers couldn't see a single person but he could hear music playing within the hideout. The music bass was so loud that it shook the very ground.

Parking behind a Ute four fingers tried being as close as he could be to the building, the group of five quickly rushed out of the range rover, bats and knuckle busters in hand.
Dante drove and parked next to the range rover jumping out with his friend and three others. They were equipt with bats and bags.
"You guys know the plan. In and out, only kill if necessary." Four fingers said.
Observing that the other 9 members looked ready to go Four fingers went to the door, he was about to kick the door open, but with their lack of security so far he thought about giving the handle a try, and it worked. Entering the doorway four fingers saw 6 figures at a table. The area looked to be a dining room from the kitchen table and the tile flooring. 5 Men were seated at the table playing cards, while one lady was seated on the lap, of one of the men. The area reeked of tobacco, alcohol and sweat.
Following along the end of the left wall was a wooden staircase. To the right was a bar bench counter and a kitchen on the other side. Straight ahead was a closed door most likely leading into the lounge area.
Before four fingers barged in the man at the end of the table closest to the front door was going all in with his poker chips. Knowing he had a good hand, he had a snarly grin on his face. Seeing everyone looking towards him in horror, he leaned forward scooping the poker chips in a bear hug motion. When he finally collected all the chips, everyone was still looking at him in the same way. No, they were looking above his head. Frowning, he leaned back on his chair balancing on the rear two legs, tilting his neck back as far as he could he saw a upside down view of a man.
he looked in his 30s with long greasy hair. He wore a white Tshirt and he was steering at him, his steer resembled a the look of a disappointed father. Without a change of expression four fingers knocked the seated man out, with the holding end of his bat.
Dante was in awe, four fingers was the guy in charge of the operation. Seeing him smash nee caps in with a deadpan expression was a show of how experienced he was. The way he implemented his actions looked like he was doing a everyday task. The loud music was still playing so at the moment it was only the 5 men and one lady in the kitchen.
Worried about Nadine Dante quickly rushed up the staircase, planning on her being in one of the rooms upstairs. Reaching the top, he came upon a hallway without much thought he opened the first door. He was in shock by what he saw. In the small bedroom was nothing but a old ripped mattress laying on the floor. Laying atop of the mattress was a man and a woman. The man had his arm covering his face asleep while the woman was looking at the ceiling where the light bulb was supposed to be placed. Her mouth was slightly opened with enough room to catch flies. Her gaze seemed to pierce the roof looking beyond the heavens. Her top half was bare naked, except her arm that was covered in a tighten belt.
Instinctively Dante rushed from door to door coming across similar scenery. Appraising with his discerning eyes, he made sure to not miss Nadine and also be as fast as possible. Entering the last room it was 3 times the size of the other rooms. To the right was a king size bed, 3 women were within the sheets, asleep. Further ahead on the other side of the room was a long couch facing towards a huge TV. Two men were seated on the couch playing a video game. Hearing the door open one of the men turned around.

"Knock fool, or else I'll ... Wait. Shit!"
Shaking the other figures arm, the first one stood up quickly. When the other figure followed suit, they looked at one another and nodded. Splitting up, they planned on attacking Dante from both sides. Noticing their coordination and calm expressions, Dante's first reaction was to run. But with further thoughts, he didn't want to be the laughing stock of the group. When he resolved his instinctive actions, he realized he had taken multiple steps backwards, placing him outside of the doorway in the hallway.
He's definitely experienced, he went outside of the doorway without hesitation. Instantly trumping our advantage in numbers. Although he looks young, he shouldn't be underestimated. While in thought, the attacking figure looked towards the other to see if he had a plan.
Seeing the other figure shrugging his shoulders, they soon came to a stand still. Dante didn't know what to do exactly, just standing and glaring at the two figures. Seeing Four fingers in the corner of his eye, he was about to call out to him. Suddenly, seeing the older man put his index finger to his lips, Dante quickly returned to glaring. When Four fingers got close enough, he stood close to the wall raising his bat. With a slight nod towards Dante, he was ready.
Run, attack or talk. What the hell does that nod mean. They'll definitely knock me out, their twice my size. Run, in front of Four fingers, no way. Talk, what the hell am I going to talk about. With his thoughts racing Dante decided on taking a few steps down the hall. But he came to a stop when he saw Four fingers face scrunched up like he was taking a shit. Constantly nudging his head he obviously didn't want Dante to walk towards him. Using his four fingered hand that missed his middle finger the old figure showed a talking gesture and a walking gesture. Trying to see in the corner of his eye was a difficult task but Dante managed to make sense of the hand signs. Clearing his throat he said in a uncertain tone.
"Attack me." After a slight pause he continued. "Bitches."
Hearing this, the two men felt a really awkward vibe coming from the younger figure. One of them was unsure, but he thought he heard a palm slapping noise coming from the hallway.
"Do you know who the fuck we are?" The other man said, causing the other figure to throw his thoughts toward the back of his mind.
Dante knew exactly who they were, but the didn't fit the image he portrayed, in his younger days at all.
"Harpel Kings, but you guys don't resemble kings anymore. I think the rumors about you guys being bitch boys for that drug dealer Llen, are true."
One of the men finally caught on to what Dante was trying to do, but the other figure had already jumped into action. Flicking out his switch blade one of the men stepped in towards Dante with a wild slash towards his throat. Dodging backwards Dante stumbled, falling over he landed on his back, knocking the back of his head. With the swing of a metal bat he heard a heavy thud toward flesh, followed by a hollow ring. In secession Dante could hear the same combination of noises two more times. After the last hollow ring, it became dead quite. gluing his chin to his chest, Dante could picture a four fingered hand, reaching out towards him. Grasping the hand, he was then pulled up in a instant.
"Good Job." The old figure said.
Smiling slightly Dante could only say thanks. Squinting his eyes, he made out a short figure behind Four fingers. He resembled Ken Jeong from the hangover. Grabbing Four finger's shoulders, Dante tried to jump and pull the older man along with him. Bang, the gun managed to miss Four fingers head, because of Dante's actions only hitting his shoulder and clipping Dante's ear.
"You no fuck with the Llen, pizza boys!" The short figure shouted out loud.
Rolling on the ground Dante couldn't hear a sound, he actually couldn't feel a thing as well. Looking at Four fingers it looked like he had fainted from the shock of the impact.
Repetitively grabbing his ear Dante could't make sense of the missing parts. With hope, he thought among one of his strokes it would reappear.
Walking towards Four fingers Llen kicked him as hard as he could."You ruin my sleep."
Seeing Dante he held the gun towards him. Not being aware of the amount of people in the building Llen decided to use Dante as a hostage while leaving the building. With his gun towards Dantes head he got past everyone easily.
Back when the gun shot was heard. Everyone in the station wagon was slightly agitated by the noise. Taliya grabbed her phone out, instantly dialing the police. Glaring towards Taliya Sam intervened, "Do you know what you're doing right now?"
"Saving my sister." She replied without hesitation.
Hearing her response, Sam nodded towards Leo. Quickly snatching her phone and ending the call, Leo put the phone into his pocket.
Letting out a sigh Sam continued.
"I know you're worried, but at least put some thought into the situation. First, If the police were to come that's not just one gang but a second gang, that you will start problems with. Second, Harpel Kings have history of getting away with murder, better yet kidnapping. Third and last, Nadine will end up being the center of attention and she will be labeled as the girl who got raped at Casey's party. Now, do you want that for her?"
Hearing Sam's logical explanation Taliya pondered for a second.
"Nadine's underage, her court case won't become public."
"Yeah, so was the situation with Theo, but look how that turned out. One unknown source or a picture, and the media is all over it."
Opening the door Sam continued. "Okay I'm gonna head in, I need to make sure she's alright."
Deano seemed concerned at first but then he opened his door as well. Grinning, Leo kicked open the boot hopping out also. Seeing Tom's hesitant look, Taliya put her hand on Tom's shoulders. "You should go to."
after saying thanks, Tom quickly caught up to the others.
Seeing a short figure with his gun pointed towards Dantes head, everyone frozen in place, except Tom. Lucky enough the figure had his back facing towards them making sure nobody from inside would attack him. Picking up a rock, Tom knocked out the short figure from behind.
