Chapter 2
The Plan Unfolds
Vic meets Shane in town to break down the situation. Shane tells Vic that it has to be clean-cut and careful. "We have a lot of eyes on us, Vic." Shane says. Vic rubs his eyes and responds. "I know, and that's why this is going to be quick and sweet. We can't be having this unfold into something bigger than what it already is." Vic tells Shane to ride with him to find his brother. Vic and Shane drive to where Steve's house is. Vic tells Shane to wait in the truck. It looks like Steve is home, his car is outside. Vic walks up to the house but before he gets to the door, he hears yelling followed by someone hitting the wall. He stops and turns to signal Shane. Shane gets out of the truck and makes his way up to Vic. "Go around back" Vic says. "Something's goin on in there." Vic slowly approaches and tries to catch a glimpse through the window. He sees Steve being held up against the wall by a man with a gun. It sounds like they are talking about the money that Steve owes the sharks. Vic moves to the door and takes his gun off of safety. Then, Vic busts through the door and makes his way in. Shane hears this from the back and busts through the back. Vic aims his gun at the man harassing Steve. The man with the gun turns to Vic to say, "Don't come any closer or I'll spread him all over this wall!" Vic smiles with disbelief, clearly calling this guy's bluff. Shane comes to the door on the other side of the room. "Vic, what's goin on?" Vic looks at his brother and Steve motions that he's okay. "This punk owes us some money, this is no business of yours." The man says. "He owes you money, huh?" Vic asks. All of a sudden Vic quickly shoots the guy in the hand he's holding his gun with. The man drops to the floor and drops his gun. "Well, that means you won't be spreading him all over this wall if you want your money." Vic says with a smile. The man yells with pain after being shot in the hand. Vic motions to Shane to put the guy in hand cuffs. Vic walks over to Steve. "Listen to me and listen good.I'm gonna get you out of this, but you have to play ball. Do you understand?" Steve nods his head and agrees. Vic and Shane meet outside. "Vic, what the hell are we going to do? This guy is not in the equation." "Relax Shane.let's just take and keep him hidden for a while until the plan goes through." Vic calls Lem and tells him to come and pick this guy up. They go back into the house and Steve is still wondering what's going on. Vic takes Steve into another room. "Alright listen, I know you owe these guys some big cash and I don't care why. I'm here to get you out of this." Steve still doesn't understand Vic's plan. "Let me get this straight.you're going to "take care" of these guys and my debt?" "That's right, it's that simple." Vic says. "Vic, why would you do this?" Vic looks at Shane and then back at Steve. "We need a new member to the Strike Team and we can't have him in trouble with loan sharks." Steve can't believe what he's hearing. "Are you serious, bro? You want me on your team?" "Yeah, you can say that, but it's not that easy. You have to quit all of this petty theft bullshit and make my team feel like you're part of the family." Vic answers. Just then, Lem shows up to pickup the thug. Vic instructs him to keep the guy in the trunk and take him for a ride. "Where am I going to take this guy, Vic? I can't just drive around all day." Lem says. "You're right, I tell you what.take him to our friend Mo's place and tell him to hide him for a while until we can do something with him."
