Chapter 4
Gang meeting
"Get your gear and fall into single file once you're ready."Nathan ordered. Tonight they were to head to the junkyard and meet up with the other gangs. They would share news,talk and even do little tournaments. It was a meeting for gangs to enjoy themselves with other gang members for a night. "We're ready boss."Victoria said. Nathan nodded.
"Let's go."he said. They walked out and headed for the junkyard. It was dark,except the light from the blood moon,so they had to watch their step. They made it to the junkyard about ten minutes later being the third gang to arrive with BlackHell and the Raiders there. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them. Chloe smirked while raising her gun and shouting,"What up homies!" Everyone cheered back. Nathan smiled. Though he'd never admit it out loud,Chloe had a certain power over people's emotions. She could make people hostile or scared with a few simple words or laid-back and happy with a three word sentence like just now. It was both helpful and unhelpful,depending on the situation.
The gang disbanded immediately and Nathan walked over to the shack. A gang member from the Raiders,his only identification of being part of the Raiders was the dragon tattoo on his right arm,was standing at the door. He took one look at Nathan then opened the door and moved out the way. Nathan thanked him and walked in. Two other people were sitting at a small,round table laughing. One of them saw him. "Hey Nathan's here!" Nathan rolled his eyes. Frank he thought.
Leader of the Raiders and a drug dealer,making him not quite the sharpest tool in the toolbox. He was a tall young man with pale skin,light brown hair and green eyes. Max,Rachel and Chloe had history with him whether good or bad Nathan didn't know. All Nathan did know is that Frank's loyalty some something you couldn't depend on since he cherished money above all. "Hopefully the Stormers and Firewalk won't be long."The leader of BlackHell,Wells,said.
He was a average size man,slightly overweight,dark-skinned,bald with brown eyes. He was a prestige,cunning and powerful man,though not as powerful as Nathan,with a huge grudge against Nathan because of some disagreement with his father. "The Stormers will be here soon. It's the Firewalk that'll be late."Nathan said,sitting down. The roar of cheers rang through the junkyard. "Looks like they're here."Wells chuckled. "Should've made a bet on it."Frank said.
Moments after two more people entered the shack. "Sorry we're late."Brody apologized. "No problem."Nathan replied. Brody was the leader of the Stormers. He was the same height as Wells,slightly overweight,had a short bushy brown beard and hair and brown eyes. He more of a kind,peaceful man the total opposite of what a gang member should be. The other man looked at them before asking,"So what are we talking about?"
"Typical Damon,"Frank sneered. "You just do whatever and don't even explain or apologize." "Don't fucking start with me man."Damon warned. Nathan rolled his eyes. Damon was the leader of Firewalk. He was a young man,an inch or so taller than Frank,pale,brown hair and brown eyes. He was also a drug dealer and extremely dangerous,being quick to anger and almost unpredictable. Honestly,he had much more in common with Frank than anyone in the room. In Fact,Damon and Frank were once both in the Raiders and close friends. But something happened between them and Damon went rogus while taking a few of Frank's members.
"Gentlemen,do not do this again."Wells said. Both men gave each other a cold glare before looking away. Brody took this as a cue to speak. "Frank,how's the Raiders so far?" "We're doing fine. Haven't lost anyone yet but the police have been on our tail since last month."he said annoyed. As the men talked Nathan couldn't help but feel a bit insecure. He was surrounded by men much older than him and in their eyes he looked like nothing but a boy. Don't show weakness his father's words rang through his ears. He straightened up and pushed away any doubt. He would not show weakness before them.
"Nathan,"Frank's said breaking his thoughts. "How's the TimeWarriors so far?" "We're going great. Haven't lost anyone,cops haven't been on our asses for a while." He turned to Wells. "But I would like to address something to Wells." Everyone looked surprised except for Wells. He already knows what i'm gonna address Nathan thought. Bastard. "Why are your gang members on our territory?" Wells stayed quiet for a while before speaking. "The cops have been helping some construction workers build on our territory and have been patrolling the streets and buildings for any future problems. So I have to shrink the territory for the safety of my gang." "While that explains how you lost territory,"Nathan said getting impatiencent. "That doesn't explain why your putting your members on my terrority and making them patrol then report back at you so you can steal it." Wells chuckled. "Patience my boy,"he said. "Naturally I've gone to take the Raiders territory since they were close to us." Frank glared at Wells. "But,"he added. "I realised I wasn't very neighborly of me. Then I realised that your gang would be the easiest to take down. Unfortunately,it seems my plan was met with some obstacles."
"You're smart. Deciding to not attack my gang cause we would've ripped you to shreds."Frank told him. Wells scoffed but didn't say anything more. "Well I'm not going to tolerate this again,"Nathan spat. "If I see another one of your gang members on my territory i'll make sure you regret it." Wells eyes flashed angrily. "Is that a threat?"he snarled. "Yes and I can make it so much more than that."Nathan growled threateningly. They both glared at each other while the other looked back and forth between them. At last,Damon got up.
"I think it's time we all go home." They mumbled agreements and got up from the table and walked out the shack. "Raiders! To me!"Frank ordered. All the Raiders stopped what they were doing and went to their leader. Once all they gangs were with their leader they broke apart and headed home. That bald eagle thinks he can take away my territory?Nathan thought. Well I'll make sure to keep my words about him regretting it.
