Hello everyone! I had my old laptop die and it took a while to recover this chapter from the damaged hard drive. As Always, special thanks to LynGuerra for all the motivation and support. As always, I own nothing, so please don't sue me. blah, blah, blah...enjoy!


Johnny's back was pressed against the concrete wall as the terrified woman on her knees in front of him raised her trembling hands to unzip his pants and free his bulging cock from his boxers. He already decided to savor this moment, having never expected an opportunity to corner one of the people responsible for keeping Aisha away from him. He calmly lit a fresh cigarette as he looked at his prey that on her knees in front of him and completely paralyzed with fear.

"So if I suck your cock, you're going to let me live? Right?" The terrified woman asked with tears starting to run down her face

Gat smiled menacingly "Tanya, that all depends on how well cock sucking skills are. Just pretend your old fuck-toys Big Tony and Warren Williams are both cheering you on from hell. Just don't expect me to become a whipped fucking pussy like them just because you gave me some head."

"I wasn't gg- going to expect that at all." Tanya whimpered "I just don't want to be murdered here in this alleyway like a fucking dog. Please give me your word that you won't ki.."

Gat interrupted her with a smack across the face "You and the Vice Kings gave Aisha your word about a lot things and didn't fucking deliver. So if you've got time to plead and bitch about me 'giving my word', then you got time to suck my dick. Just remember this; If you don't manage to me cum, I'll kill you. If you don't swallow every drop of glorious cum that you're going to receive, I'll kill you. And if You get so much as a single teardrop or dribble of snot on my dick from your crying, and I'll kill you so slowly, you'll be begging me to just simply put a bullet in your head. Understood, you fucking whore?"

Tanya nodded as proceed to take his shaft into her mouth. Gat could feel Tanya licking the underside of his cock as Tanya's head bobbed slowly back and forth. Feeling no patience or willingness to move slow, Gat grabbed two handfuls of Tanya's hair on either side of her head and began violently slamming his cock down her throat. Gat felt himself reaching his limit and pulled his cock out of Tanya's mouth.

"Open up wide you fucking cum dumpster." Gat growled as he continued stroking his cock "I got a nice load for you."

With a stream of tears running down her face, Tanya complied with the Gat's order and opened her mouth wide with her tongue out and eyes closed. With a smile that could only be described as sinister, Gat pulled a Vice-9 pistol from behind his back a shoved the barrel of the gun into Tanya's mouth. Her as shot open instantly at the feeling of metal and ceramic rather than flesh entering the inside of her mouth. Tanya had a brief expression of terror come across her face at the realization of what was about to happen before Gat pulled the trigger and her head jerk back as blood and brain matter splattered the opposing alleyway wall. He then returned the pistol to waistband of his pants and proceeded to jizz on Tanya Winters' lifeless corpse.

"Tough luck for you stupid, fucking cunt. Like I would let any of you Vice King motherfuckers live after everything you put me and Aisha through." Gat cackled "Besides, I couldn't take the chance that a slut like you might actually enjoy swallowing my cum. Last thing I need is looking for me later wanting another taste."

Gat proceeded to put his cock back in his pants and flick the remains of cigarette onto her motionless body as he calmly walked out of the alleyway.

Gat work up in Aisha's bed in a cold sweat with a rock hard erection. Gat felt the undoubtable sensation that someone was sucking on her cock. He was quickly glanced over a noticed Aisha wasn't next to him. Gat quickly put the pieces together pulled the comforter back, feeling pleased at the sight of his loving girlfriend taking caring of his morning wood.

"About time you woke up. You're lucky to have such a horny and forgiving girlfriend." Aisha cooed seductively "Most women would have thrown you out of bed for what you did this morning."

Gat raised an eyebrow "What are you talking about? I just woke up, I didn't…"

"Ssh. First, let me finish my 'breakfast' while its still fresh." Aisha interrupted, as she gave a gentle kiss to head of his penis "Then we'll talk about what you're buying me as apology for your unforgivable act."

"Ok. Seriously? What are talking abou…." Gat was cut off by Aisha resuming her early breakfast of sucking on his cock. After several more minutes, he couldn't last any longer and shot his load straight down his loving girlfriend's throat. Finally, Aisha crawled back beside Gat sitting upright against the headboard with her arms crossed trying to make her best mean face. He could she a slight trace of a smile, so he knew that whatever it was that he did wrong, it probably wasn't so bad if Aisha was trying (and failing) to give him an intimidating expression.

"Now that you've had your breakfast, why don't you tell me what I'm in trouble for doing wrong." Gat teased "It's the least you could do after I selflessly provided you with such a well-balanced meal to start the morning off right."

"Ok my selfless white night, I'll tell you about what you did when I woke up this morning. I wake up first thing I see was that you had 'pinched a tent' in bed for yourself so to speak. Since you were such a strapping hero to Lily in her dire situation, I thought a little reward was in order."

"Ok…." Gat was still unsure where Aisha was going this story "Still don't understand the part where I did something wrong."

"I getting to that part! So there I am giving my boyfriend amazing oral sex, when you suddenly start mumbling another girl's name in your dreams." Aisha explained "You kept saying 'suck my dick Tanya' over and over again. So you're either cheating on me with one of the new Saints members, or got yourself one of those "inmate wives" I've heard about so much about while you were still locked up. Which is it?"

So a split second, Gat considered that telling her that he was fantasizing about some random actress. And as if she sensed what he was about to do, she gave Gat a look of pure anger and worry, he decided to tell her the truth.

Gat took a deep breath "Do you remember Tanya Winters? That skank that used to kidnap and pimp out girls for the Vice Kings?"

"I heard she was either dating Big Tony or Warren Williams. Can't remember which one though." Aisha nodded nervously "Yeah. What about her?"

"She's the 'Tanya' you heard me mumbling about." Gat confessed "I had this really mess up dream about her last night."

Gat then recounted for Aisha to dream had with himself and Tanya without leaving out any of the details. Once he done, he noticed that while Aisha looked a lot more relaxed, she was still nervous about something.

"Aisha, its was just a dream." Gat assured her "And you know I would never to anything to hurt you. Besides, me and Mei along with Ben King already put her in a fucking coffin. And I sure as shit doubt her corpse is in any position to give any blowjobs."

"You're right. I'm just being silly." Aisha kissed up on the check as she climb out of bed "I'll get some breakfast made before you and Lily head back to hideout."

"That sure was weird. I wonder what's got Eesh so spooked." Gat wondered

Johnny put it out of mind and brought his attention to getting showered dressed. He knew Aisha skill in bed was almost matched by her skills as a cook. And he knew it wouldn't be long before Aisha had breakfast ready.

Sure enough, Gat was greeted to sight of Aisha already laying out food on the table. She had prepared French Toast, bacon, poached eggs, sausage and hash browns. Lily was already sitting by the table buttering some toast.

"Wus good Lily. Sleep well?" He asked while pulling up a seat across from her

"Not as well as you two did apparently." She smiled coyly as placed more bacon onto her plate

Gat arched an eyebrow "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Let's just say that say that if you and Aisha had been fucking any louder, I would have had to sleep in garage in order to have a peaceful night's sleep."

"Don't be so fucking dramatic. I know we could be a bit loud, but me and Eesh weren't that loud."

Lily rolled her eyes "You're in denial Gat. I think its been so long for the two of you, that you don't realize that sound travels."

"Oh yeah, then prove it then." Gat challenged "Because right now I think your full of shit and just trying to tease us."

Lily raised an eyebrow cautiously "And just how exactly do you expect me to 'prove it to you'? You want me to give a play-by-play of everything I heard?"

Gat shrugged nonchalantly "Sure. That'll work for me."

"What the hell does that mean?" Lily asked with an unmistakable hint of panic

"I think my pervert of a boyfriend is calling your bluff." Aisha chimed in as she sat at the table "When I had the place built, sound dampening materials were used in the wall construction. So I also find it a somewhat hard to believe that you heard anything."

"Not to change the subject, but why did you have sound dampening materials put installed in the walls?" Lily asked "You planning to use this place as a music studio?"

"I already got a space for that in the basement." Aisha replied coyly "Since I didn't want anybody calling a noise complaint on my house because of music or 'other sounds' they heard, I had sound dampening insulation installed in the walls. It also helps cut down on the heating and cooling for the house."

"Which is why I calling bullshit on you hearing anything last night." Gat was still wearing a confident smirk across his face "Unless you can give a more detailed account of what you heard of course."

"You two sure you want me to say what I heard?" Lily asked coyly as she glanced back and forth between the two of them "I don't want to make shit awkward for anybody. Especially not after everything the ya'll did for me last night. Would kind of make me a bitch to disrespect the kindness you showed me."

"Lily, aint nobody here in their fucking feelings like that you can't make jokes with us. We know how grateful you are about what we did, but that don't mean you owe us anything or have to tippy toe around us." Gat reassured "We're all adults who can take a bit of teasing."

"I couldn't agree with you more Johnny." Aisha smiled at her "Besides, between Johnny bringing you here in your underwear and you telling me I was your sexual fantasy that help you figure out you liked girls….I think the ship has sailed on us trying to be modest around each other."

"The fucking ship sailed, then got struck by lightning which made that bitch catch on fire, hit an iceberg, then sank to the bottom of the fucking ocean." Gat chided "So come on and tell us what you think you heard."

Lily took a deep breath "Ok…I remember hearing the sounds of giggling from Aisha which then sexy moaning sounds. Then heard Aisha yell 'Fuck me like you own me. I'm your property, and left me unused for so long. So remind me that own me."

Gat snickered "Okay…that's a bit of what we said…"

"Wait now, cause I heard more." Lily interrupted "Then I heard what could be described as gagging sounds as I heard Gat say 'That's right Eesh! You take that cock to all the way down your throat. And you better make sure its good slippery, because your ass is going about to get a savage pounding! And I'm not pulling out until I pumped enough cum into you to start a fertility clinic.' Then I assume after you started fucking her ass, Aisha started yelling for you to stop being a pussy and told you "Choke the shit out of me and fuck my ass harder.' Do I need to tell you the even freakier shit I heard or do you believe me now?"

Both Gat and Aisha look unashamed, though Gat did appear to be blushing a bit. Aisha on the other hand was wearing an expression that could only be described at triumphant.

"What can say girl, if find someone that can bring you the utmost pleasure in the bedroom, you'll pretty much let them do whatever they want to you sexually and vice versa." Aisha smiled coyly as she glanced over at Gat "And while Johnny always fucks me as hard as I want, he's still doesn't choke or slap me hard enough for my liking."

"Th-that's only because I don't want to hurt you Esh." Gat was slowly turning red from embarrassment "What happens if I'm doing that rough shit and I accidentally choke you to death or some shit?"

"So long as you give me the best orgasm I've ever had before the life drains out of me, then all would be forgiven. Besides, we both know you would never be that rough with me." Aisha teased "Anyway, you should finish up your breakfast and then get Lily home. Also, have Mei to stop by the house when she's got a minute, there's something I need to talk to both you about."

Gat smiled "Sure thing Esh."

After finishing breakfast and bidding Aisha goodbye, Lily got in the passenger seat of Gat's bootlegger and waited for him to join her. A glance in the rear view mirror revealed the two lovers sharing one last passionate embrace before Aisha made her way back inside the main house.

"Sorry about giving you the play-by-play of what I overheard last night." Lily blushed, looking down at her feet. "Hope neither of you are mad at me."

Gat rolled his eyes "Relax. It's perfectly fine. We were both a bit surprised that you heard some of the freakier things we were saying, but it was to be expected. Besides, I'm pretty sure Esh is going to want to do even wilder stuff just because she knows you overheard her. So thanks for guaranteeing me additional bedroom time with my girl."

"Glad I could be of help." Lily Laughed "And seeing as you saved my half-naked ass in the middle of a storm, helping to get you laid was the least I could do.

"Speaking of that, you really should tell the Boss what happened." Gat glanced with a look of concern on his face "I know you don't want to seem like the same helpless girl me and Mei recused from those scumbags. But if there's more idiots like that in the woodwork gunning for you, then we need to be prepared."

Lily raised an eyebrow "We?"

"You heard me Lily. You're a Saint, and the Saints look after their own. I get that your Pops was a dirtbag motherfucker and you had to learn to fend for yourself because of it. But that's not the case no more. If nothing else, we don't need anyone trying to roll up on you while we're in the streets chilling with the homies or conducting business on behalf of the gang."

"You're right. I wish you weren't but you're right." She sighed "I'll bring it up with soon, just not yet. At the very least, until we make the Sons of Samedi are nothing more than a memory and Mei's resting easier because she's not worrying about an attack on home turf."

"Fine." He scoffed "Just know I'm only going to wait so long before telling her myself."

"Thanks Gat. Also, would you mind not telling anyone else in the crew about this? At least not until I speak with Mei?"

Gat smiled "No worries girl. Ain't nobody gonna hear shit about last night from me. Besides, if word spread amongst the crew, Mei would whoop both our asses for not telling her."

"Again, thanks for this Gat. Rodney is still being a bit of a bitch about me and most of the other girls in the gang being allowed to join so…."

"Don't worry about Rodney." Gat cut her off "I need to have a little chat with him anyways. Boss thought he would have come around to his sister being in the Saints by now, but its not getting any better. If homie doesn't knock that shit off, the Boss might have to do something drastic.

"Like what?" Lily asked nervously

Johnny took a deep "Like kicking him out the Saints. It would solve the problem and send the message that nobody questions the way Mei runs the gang. Regardless of whether OG or not. And regardless of what they got between their legs."

Lily was in complete shock over what Gat had just shared with her. Rodney was one of the best wheelmen in Stilwater and one of the best street racers from the early days of the gang. From what Monster and Joey D had told the new recruits, Rodney had one of the best racing records with over 900 wins and only three loses. And all three had been when racing against the Saints best driver, Lin. After a brief moment of silence, Lily finally asked the question she dreaded to ask.

"Do you really think the Boss will get rid of him?"

"I don't know Lily. I know she doesn't want to. Especially since she regards everyone in the crew as being family, which she won't turn her back on. I feel the same way about the gang as well. For fuck sake, Rodney was one of the first people to be canonized into the Saints." Gat admitted "But when you got someone who's putting their own wants over what's best for the gang, it creates problems. That's how you end up with those gangs that have been around for a few years, but seem to have had over a hundred different leaders in that time. Either because the previous leaders got killed or went to jail. In both situations, you got bitch ass motherfucker in the gang setting their own people up in order to move up the ladder. We don't Saints ending up like the Vice Kings. You get me?"

Lily nodded "I get it. King had a problem and ignored it until he was almost taken out by his own crew for seeming weak."

"You're right on the money." Gat nodded as they pulled into the enclosure around the hideout "We also have to worry about Bradshaw as well. Those little diversions we've created will keep him out of Saints business for a while, but it won't last forever. And after we take on the Sons of Samedi, that will be one less gang for him to worry about."

"That's something I wanted run by you actually." Lily exited the passenger side of the car as Gat also stepped out from the vehicle and started to check his hair the driver's side mirror "Once we lock down the city after taking out the other gangs, what's to SPD from coming in, rounding us up, and then acting like they 'cleaned up the city' for a second time?"

"Mei's thought that exact same thing and is working on that. It's also part of the reason why we're being a bit more strategic with how we move this time around." Gat explained as they walked toward the hideout "Lucky for us, the fuckers in the SPD have a similar problem. If the make a move on us after we lockdown Stilwater, they'll just have a new batch of gangs moving into town."

"So we don't have a hand to play after we take over Stilwater?"

Gat shrugged "For now it might seem like we don't have a play to make. However…that won't be the case forever"

Lily smiled "Sounds like the Boss has something devious in the works."

"You better fucking believe it." Gat cackled "When the time is right, she'll let us know what she's got planned for the gang and more importantly Stilwater. Just know this; when the Archangel makes her move, there won't be anything the Ronin, Samedi, Brotherhood, or SPD can do to stop her."

When they arrived in the hideout, they were greeted to the sight of Alice in the courtyard with about 30 Saints showing them the proper way stem the bleeding from a bullet wound with Monster, Ghost, and Becky serving as assistants with Mei observing everything behind Alice. As the group of Saints broke off into pairs, Mei walked over Gat and Lily.

Gat nodded towards the group "We teaching the crew how to play 'Doctor' now?"

"Things are going to pick up soon with the Sons and Samedi, so we need are people ready for the worst. That why I asked Alice to start giving the crew about basic first aid for gun and knife wounds." Mei explained "Considering the target that's on our backs now that we've made our comeback official, we need to make sure we improve the odds of keeping us all alive. I not expecting Alice to start turning motherfuckers into brain surgeons, but if they know enough to stop themselves from bleeding out, it might save lives."

"Can't argue with that. There are more than a few original Saints who might still be here if they had that knowledge." Gat conceded

"Glad we're on the same page with this idea. I want you to probably join in during a few of these sessions and educate the new Saints on some of the shit you've survived, it might help drive the point home how important th…" Mei lost her train of thought when she noticed the outfit Lily was wearing. She instantly felt her cheeks start to warm as she took in the young woman wearing her old outfit from the day of her canonization into the Saints.

Noticing the attention she was getting from the Saints leader, Lily also found herself starting to blush furiously as well.

"I-I hhh-hope you do mind me burrowing your clothes." She stammered " I promised to get it dry cleaned at back to you."

"It ccc- cool. Don't worry about it. In fact, you can keep it. It's…um….its a good look for you. Not that you don't already look good already." Mei stuttered back

"Th-Thank you." Lily's pale complexation had gone so red, she was starting to look sunburned "I'm going to link up with Brooks. She mentioned having a job that needing doing."

As Mei watched the young Saint walk away, she was brought back to her senses by Johnny's snickering.

"Damn Mei, it was like watching to opening dialogue to the most awkward girl-on-girl porno scene ever." She wiped her heard around to the big grin on Gat's face "Although I was worried you might set poor innocent Lily's clothes on fire if you stared at her ass any harder than you were already."

"Whatever Johnny." She turned making her way back to her room "Besides, you know I can't afford to get too close to her…or anyone else for that matter."

Gat rolled his eyes "Please. You two looked like you were going to start going at it like fucking jack rabbits in the middle of the courtyard. Best, you know Lin…."

"Can you we please not talk about this right now?" Mei asked quietly "I…I just don't want to go down that road again. Ya feel me?"

"Ok. I'll let it go, girl." Gat gave her a sideways glance "Just know you can talk to me, ok?"

Mei nodded "Thanks homie. That means a lot to me."

It always unsettled Gat how unstoppable Mei seemed until it came to the subject of Lin. Sharp murdering her and leaving Mei for dead had seemed to cast a dark cloud that even years later Mei wasn't able to escape. But Johnny Gat knew the Saint well enough to know when to push something, and when to leave it be.

"By the way, you mind telling me had Lily ended up and Aisha's and somehow wound up wearing my clothes? Mei eyed him suspiciously

"She was riding around in the storm last night in a stolen car, when it broke down on her. She called me for help by chance and I happened to be in the area." Gat explained, while leaving out a lot crucial details "Since SPD placed a curfew due to the storm getting worse, I let her crash with me and Esh until the storm passed."

"I see." Mei was still eyeing him like a schoolteacher trying to catch student in a lie

"What? Would you prefer that I have left her in the middle of nowhere during a storm?" Gat asked coyly

Just like him, Mei also knew when to push or down a topic. She couldn't shake the feeling that he wasn't telling her everything, but knew he ultimately done the right thing.

"Ok. Thanks for getting her off the street during the storm." Mei smiled "I appreciate you looking out for her."

Gat shrugged "No biggie. Would have done it for any other Saint. Also, be sure to give Aisha a call when you get the chance. She mentioned having some sort of opportunity for the Saints."

"Cool. I'll go give her a call right now." Mei mood instantly shifted " I just hope she doesn't want to start a record label."

"And I hope see can talk you into opening your heart up to that sweet girl." Gat thought to himself "She's just what you need right now. Even if you don't realize it."

Troy watched on from the other side of the two-way mirror as detectives Gates and Harthorne interrogated Mareo, the suspected leader of the brotherhood and one of the shooters responsible for the deaths of Officers Douglas and Williams. He sighed defeatedly, knowing full well they didn't have enough to charge him. Before they even issue a public statement naming Mareo as a person of interest, he showed in front of the precinct with his lawyer prepared to make a statement. Despite all the attempted intimidation from the detectives, Troy knew it was pointless. Even in Mareo could be intimidated, the fact remained that his officers had gone rouge and tried to kill him.

Based on eye witness testimony from a few brave souls and video footage from a super market across the street, Maero's story of the events checked out; the officers approached his group and started shooting them, completely unprovoked. He knew what transpired that night, but not why. How did two of the three officers he sent to infiltrate the Saints wind up trying to kill the leader of the Brotherhood. Troy felt inclined to believe Harthone's theory that the Saints were involved, but then there were the files they found in the wrecked getaway vehicle Douglas was driving. Based on the info, it looked like him and Williams were planning to take out every leader from every gang in Stilwater by themselves. Meaning that Mareo was only meant to be their first target.

Did they track Maero down or was it by chance they found him? Who were they going to attack next? What was their ultimate goal other than taking out the leaders for every gang? All these unanswered questions were giving him a splitting headache. Then there was still the make of Perkins and Brooks. He had no idea if something had happened to her, or if she was actively taking part in this impromptu hit squad. Not to mention the fact that Perkins, who was assigned as their handler, was also missing as well. And to add to his stress, case files containing all the most up-to-date information gathered about the gangs was not only gone, but had been checked out by Perkins.

"Chief Bradshaw?"

Troy's brooding was interrupted by the sound of Amy's voice. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he hadn't even heard her open the door.

"Yes Amy?"

"Deeks from Internal Affairs is in your office waiting for you sir." Amy replied sadly "Says he needs to speak with you right away."

"Better not keep him waiting them." Troy sighed "Thanks for letting me know, Amy."

Amy smiled "No problem, sir. Please let me know if you need anything else."

Troy returned the smile "That's it for today, Amy. Why don't you go and clock out for the day. You're working too hard as it is."

"If you say so, sir." Amy's cheeks started to go pink. And while he was sure that he was imagining things, part of him was convinced that he noticed Amy's nipples becoming erect through her uniform. "I'll just wrap up a few emails and clock out."

As Amy closed the door behind her, Troy turned his attention back to the two-way mirror. It was clear that they didn't have a case against Maero. And based on the smug expression on his face, he knew it too. Regardless, he didn't need another gang leader running around thinking they could take on the SPD without their being consequences, so he was ordering around the clock surveillance on Maero. Giving one last venomous glance at Maero, he left the observation room at made his way back to his office.

When Troy arrived in his office, Deeks was already sitting down waiting for him. Based on the grim expression on his face, he figured there was more problems waiting for him.

"Detective Deeks, I assume by that expression on your face that you've got more bad news for me?" Troy deduced as he took a seat at his desk opposite of the detective

"You could say that." Deeks shifted slightly "I do have a minor bit of good news, if you could call it that."

Troy raised an eyebrow "Ok, I'll bite. What's the little bit of good news you've got for me?"

"You and your department have been cleared of any involvement or wrongdoing in the actions of Officers Douglas and Williams. There motives still aren't clear, but its apparent that whatever they were doing, it was under the own without being sanction by the Stilwater PD. Just wanted to let you hear it from me directly."

Troy nodded "Thanks Deeks. I appreciate you wanting to tell me in person. I also want to apologize about how defensive I got previously"

"Don't even worry about it Chief." Deeks waved him off " In hindsight, I should have found a better time to inform you about the investigation. Any mere minutes after viewing the bodies of a dozen deceased officers wasn't smart."

"Water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned Deeks." Troy sighed "So, why don't we get to why you're really here?"

Deeks took a deep breath "I sorry to be the one to tell you this; but we found officer Perkins. He's…..he's dead. I'm sorry Chief."

Troy closed his eyes and took a deep breath to try and steady himself. He knew that when Perkins disappeared with those case files, he was probably dead. But even though the likely of him being alive was low, a small part of Troy still hoped that the veteran detective was still alive. Now his being reminder was you should never have hope like that in Stilwater.

"I see. I really hoped Perkins was still out there somewhere putting together leads." Troy opened his eyes finally "Do we know what happened to him?"

"Some marine biologists were prepping their boat to do some deep water diving from the southside docks when they found Perkins body." Deeks explained somberly "From what I've gathered, he was shot in the back of the head multiple times. His wallet, badge, and service weapon was taken as well. Also, his car was parked nearby and not stolen. However, those case files for the other Stilwater gangs were not in his car. So, either the files were taken or handed off before he went to the docks, or they were taken from his car by the Perkins' killer."

"I think we can both agree it was most likely the latter." Troy slumped slightly in his chair "Has your department come across anything related to Brooks? She the only person left unaccounted for in this mess. Which means she might be laying in ditch somewhere…..or might have information that fills in all the blanks in this case."

After tense moment of silence, Deeks asked the question that Troy was both expecting and dreading.

"Do you think there's any possibly that maybe Brooks called Perkins, then killed him and took the case files." He asked

"Its possible, but highly unlikely. Brooks is a decorated officer and Perkins was her partner prior to her going undercover. She also doesn't strike me as the type to vigilante the way Douglas and Williams did." Troy deduced

"Not trying to throw her under bus, just laying out all the possible scenarios." Deeks assured "But I have heard of officers going undercover and loosing sight of their objectives. The mental strain can sometimes cause even the most dedicated officers to go off the deep end."

Troy nodded "That's a true possibility. And I've even known other officers that experienced the same mental strain. The only problem was these three officers had only started the attempted infiltration into the Saints 48 hours prior to Williams and Douglas trying to take down Maero. So that doesn't add up."

"Either way, Brooks might be the key to figuring out what went wrong here. If I get any leads on this case or information regarding Brooks' whereabouts, I'll let you know right away." Deeks stood up and exited Troy's office.

Troy sat there is silence with his eyes closed, trying to make sense of everything as he world seemed to crumble around him.

"I really wished I still smoked." He muttered darkly to empty office

Mei rode in the passenger seat of Gat's bootlegger as they made their way over to Aisha's house. After speaking with Aisha over the phone, she informed Mei about a contact who needed to arrange safety for 'working girls' around Stillwater.

"So how did Aisha say she knows this person?" Gat asked

Mei shrugged "Said its somebody that she's know for years apparently. Honestly speaking, I thought you might know who Aisha was talking about."

Gat cocked an eyebrow at her "Me? Why da fuck would I know this mystery person?"

"Because Aisha she this person was the only person outside of the Saints that she trusted. So I figured it might be some mutal friend from the old neighborhood prior to her signing with Kingdom Come Records." Mei explained "You both mentioned that Aisha didn't have a lot of people she was close to prior to becoming a star, so I figured the you would have a better idea than me."

Gat shook his "Nobody that comes to mind. Most girls were jealous of her, so she didn't have a lot of 'girlfriends' to confide in. And most guys only wanted to get between her legs, so kept her distance from most of those motherfuckers as well."

"Expect you of course, because you were noble and never try to fuck her?" Mei teased

"Hey, I cared about Esh, but also didn't pretend like I didn't want to tear that pussy up." Gat countered "Besides, I'm sure Aisha told you about the some of the guys from the old neighborhood. Since I could actually get through a date without trying to run my hands up under her skirt, I instantly became better that 90% of the guys who would've asked her out."

"That's really messed up Gat."

"You can say that again, Mei."

As the pulled up to Aisha's place, they noticed a Tetsuo parked at the curb. Both of them were on edge for a millisecond at the possibility of it belonging to a member of the Ronin. As the got closer, they saw the Tetsuo was still painted factory white with no sign of the yellow and silver designs that they're bikes usually adorned with.

"Relax, Esh said that her 'friend' would be meeting us at the house." Gat reassured "Just didn't expect them to be driving a Testuo."

"And a heavily modified one at that." Mei noticed "New intake, aftermarket brakes, modified suspension coils…and the engine looks heavily altered as well. Probably the only original part from the factory is the chassis and the body."

As they pulled the bootlegger into the garage, they noticed Aisha was already waiting for them at the entrance leading into the house. They exited the bootlegger, Mei made her way over to her as Gat lowered the garage door back down.

"Hey Aisha. Hope he's been treating you good." Mei pulled her in for a hug "Thanks for looking out Lily the other night. Really means a lot to me."

"Girl please, you know it ain't no big deal for me." Aisha smiled "My friend is in the living waiting for us. But I need to talk you two first."

"What about?" Gat asked as walked over to them

"My friend….she's…had issues with the Saints in the past. You guys may have even crossed paths with her." Aisha explained nervously "For the sake of doing business, she's willing to put that aside. So I need the two of you to keep your trigger fingers in check and not start anything. Got it?"

"She?" Mei and Gat asked in unison

"That didn't sound like a damn yes." Aisha growled

"You got my word Aisha. I'll keep it cool-head and won't do anything violent." Mei assured her

"I think this probably the ex-girlfriend of some former Los Carnales member trying to act gangster, but no problem Esh. I'll be on my best behavior." Gat promised

Aisha took a deep breath "Here's hoping I don't regret setting this meeting up. Follow me."

As the entered the living room, Mei knew instantly who it was. She was standing with her back to the trio, but still wearing the same outfit from the last time Mei saw her. It had been years, but she would never forget those white stockings or the white heels that she wore, accompanied by her white mini skirt and white top that was more bra than anything else. As she turned around, she still wearing hoop earrings and silver choker. The only noticeable difference being the lack of yellow highlights in her hair.

"Tanya Winters…" Gat uttered her name barely above a whisper

Tanya merely grinned "Well aren't you two still so fucking precious."


Author's Notes

Hope you enjoyed the reveal! I've been planning it for a while now. There are two other big reveals that I've hinted at in previous chapters, but I'm waiting to see if anyone picks up on the hints. Remember to leave a review if you like the story. It motivates me to keep going.
