Chapter 14- Making Deals

It had been well over a week since Punk, AJ, and Charlie had been separated. For Punk, his time was filled healing and answering questions for the FBI while AJ's time was filled with worrying about Charlie and Punk. To top it all off AJ had been filling awfully sick and that hasn't been fun. It was like as soon as she woke up, she was throwing up and it would last until lunch time. Knowing that she had to probably go to the doctors, AJ had called Dean over to see if he could take her.

"Hey Detective, come in," she greeted him once he arrived at her door.

"Thank you Ms. Mendez, so what is so important that you had to call me down here for?" Dean asked as he took a seat on the couch.

AJ handed him some coffee and said, "Well I was wondering about some things like whom do I call if I need to go somewhere important. I don't want to be bothering you or your team all the time for things."

Dean just looked at her and said, "Unfortunately since we haven't found a new place for you to live yet, you have no choice but to call me or one of my men for things. Now is that your only question?" He hated being bothered with things like this, but since Punk was at the hospital asleep Dean had nothing else to do.

AJ shook her head at the unfriendly detective, "No sir that's not it. So I haven't been feeling very well lately and I think I need to go back to the doctor. I know that they have given me a clean bill of health, but I know that something is wrong with me.

"Well if that's the case, then I will have one of my men to make you an appointment for the end of the week. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to the hospital to check on Mr. Brooks," Dean told her as he stood up to leave.

"Wait please, if you are going to mention Phil, then you have to at least tell me how he is doing. Please just tell me if he is going to be alright," AJ pleaded with him. She hadn't been so worried about Punk since he was shot in front of her eyes and she hoped that hearing that he was going to be okay would put her worried mind to rest.

Sighing, Dean sat back down to fill AJ in on Punk's health, "Well for the most part he is doing well. He just woke up the other day and the doctors believe that he will make a full recovery. That is good news that he will have to testify on his gang's illegal activities."

AJ didn't like how Dean still thought that Punk was a bad man when that wasn't the case at all. Yes Punk may have hung out with the wrong crowd, but that didn't mean that he did all the bad things like they did. "Look detective, I know that you want to put Phil away for a very long time, but you have to listen to me when I say that Phil Brooks is really a good man. He just had a troubled life that led him to find comfort in some bad company. However, if you would have seen what I did in Phil for those 18 days, then you would realize that he is not the man that you think that he is."

"That maybe the case Ms. Mendez, but until we work things out with Mr. Brooks, then he is going to be in our custody for a very long time. Now I need to get back to the hospital. I'll give you a call later to confirm your appointment time, now if you'll excuse me," Dean told her as he got up at left.

Once he was gone, AJ sat down and sighed. She starting to feel sick and Dean had left her with more questions than answers. She hoped that when Punk was better, he would be able to defend himself and tell Dean that he had nothing to do with Evolution. It wasn't fair that he was going to be the only one going down for all the crimes that the gang had committed. However little did she know that Punk was already working with Roman behind Dean's back to get back to her and hopefully to get Charlie back as well.


Back in the hospital, Punk and Roman were doing just that, plotting to take down Evolution behind Dean's back. They knew that Dean had a tendency of not really listening to people and so they decided to work together and fill Dean in later.

"So you what made you wanna help us now?" Roman asked as he took out some recording equipment for them to use.

"Because I gained a family out of the crash, that's why," Punk told him. "Like I said the other day, no matter what anyone says, April is my girlfriend and Charlie is our son. Now before we actually go on record and I spill my guts to help you, did you guys look over the USB drive?"

Roman nodded, "Yes we did and we think that it might be able to help us a lot. Since we have all of their bank account information, we froze the accounts so their little actions won't get funded the way that they are supposed to. Not only that, but we have tails on a lot of the guys since we also have their addresses on file as well. There was a lot of good evidence on that drive."

Punk smiled, "That's great, but is the D.A. going take my plea deal that we were working on the other day?" He hoped that the D.A. would take it, so that he could get back to AJ and that they could get Charlie back.

"Well I pleaded your case with him and so far I think that he is going to consider your deal. You are a lucky one though Brooks. I mean we have caught a lot of your men in the past and offered them a plea deal, but none of them took it. So with that being said, I am very sure that the D.A. will accept your plea deal considering that there will be an even bigger price on your head," Roman told him. "Now let's get started."

As Punk and Roman had their question and answer session, just outside their window, Randy was watching them and he didn't like what he was seeing. "What are you doing Punk? Hunter is going to kill you now," he whispered to himself.

Ever since the guys told Hunter on the shooting, he believed that Punk was surely dead. However when he sees that all their accounts are frozen, he was going to know that Punk was alive. Randy knew that what his friend was doing for his new found family was a noble thing, but he didn't want to see his friend get hurt.

So wanting to talk to Punk alone, Randy waited until Roman was done interviewing Punk and once Roman left and Punk fell asleep, he popped open the window and snuck in. "Hey bro wake up," he softly called out to his sleeping friend.

When Punk heard Randy, he immediately jumped up. "What the fuck, how did you get in here?" Punk asked in shock.

"I came through the window as soon as that FBI cop left. What the fuck was that all about anyways? Why are you ratting out our boys?" Randy asked slightly annoyed. Ratting out the group meant that Randy was going to be ratted out as well.

"You damn well know that they aren't my boys anymore especially after Hunter put a price out on my head. You should know that I am not a thief and I am not a murderer. I have never killed anyone in my life despite being in a gang all of these years. My specialty has always been money and scamming people," Punk said defending himself.

Randy understood where Punk was coming from, "I know all that Punk, but it's doesn't matter what you were doing in the gang because you are guilty by association. Although from the sounds of it, it sounds like you are going to get off on some charges."

Punk nodded, "Yeah that's the plan anyways and I will do anything that I can to get back to my family." The meant the world to him and we wasn't going to lose them.

"Oh that girl and kid that you were with in the woods, gotcha," Randy said. He had a little girl that he hardly saw, but he knew where Punk was coming from when it came to doing anything for your family.

"What do you know about that?" Punk asked Randy in confusion. When Randy had a guilty look on his face, Punk put it all together, "You were there weren't you? Were you the one that fucking shot me?!"

Randy immediately jumped up from where he was sitting and said, "No, no I didn't I swear. Yes me and a couple of the guys were in the woods, but I wasn't the one that shot you. It was Seth and he only did it because he wanted to be the golden boy in Hunter's eyes."

Punk just shook his head, "I should have known that that little ass kisser would try something like this. He was always trying to take one of our positions. So now what, are you here to finish the job?"

"No man I could never hurt you like that. Yeah sure Hunter made me go after you, but I did that only so that I could protect you and help you get out of town. Remember back in jail we made a pack to always protect each other and watch each other's backs, well I'm here do to just that. I got you in this whole Evolution mess and I am going to get you out of it," Randy told him every determined to help his friend out.

"Oh yeah how are you going to do that?" Punk asked him.

Randy sighed and said, "Because I'm going to help the FBI too that's how. I can be their inside man and get them what they need and in return you go free and whatever happens to me happens."

Punk shook his head, "No man if you do this, then we both go free. Sure we might be put on house arrest or something, but I am not going to let you take the fall for everything, deal?"

"Deal."


Well, looks like things are definitely going to be changing. I wonder what is wrong with AJ and hope that everything goes okay for her when she goes to the doctors. Also I can't believe that Randy is actually a good guy and that he and Punk are going to work for the FBI to help them being down Evolution. I just hope that nothing bad happens to them.
