Sorry about not posting. A lot of stuff happened but to make up for it here is a longer than normal chapter enjoy.

We got in before the party started. I have to remember that I am Alex the bartender not Jake the cop.

Terry and I checked in and scoped out our areas. The Clam is one large room. Mostly wood a few trophies for various things. Gold accents on everything. Wood floor through out. It was a dim lit place like most bars are. Room was medium sized three booths along one wall around ten tables scattered through out the middle of the room then the bar on the side opposite of the booths. It went along most of the wall bar stools in front taps in the middle and then various other alcohols on the shelves in the back.

Bathrooms were in the back doors out in the open. There are no windows anywhere. There was one door that led to the back room and the double doors that let people in. Where Terry would be.

I placed mics at both ends of the bar and on a random light fixture on the wall on the other side of the room. Cameras were placed on a jukebox and it a bottle back along the wall. I was also wearing a mic and an ear piece.

I checked all of what I placed and Charles gave me the all clear.

7:36pm

Other staff members were coming and prepping everything and I joined in I cleaned off the bar placed coasters on tables.

My cohorts tonight are a tall blonde named Trudie. Thin and scantly dressed. Not talkative and does her own thing, the other a hulking man bald dressed in dark clothes goes by Hugo is actually extremely friendly and told me exactly what was going on and what I am going to be doing. When he talks the only thing I can compare it to is think of The Rocks voice mixed with a New York accent.

"Okay Alex until you get the feel you can hand out beers from the coolers. Cans and bottles. Small cans are $4 big ones are $7. Bottles are $9 If anyone asks. Just let me and Trudie handle prices you know just Incase any one asks. Trust me there will be a lot of those tonight."

"Got it. Who is this party for anyway?"

"Party is for Felix Angosto. He has these once every few months. He brings in all of his sketchy associates. He himself is not bad really nice guy."

"Anything or one that I should be careful about?"

"Do not go anywhere near the back booth unless told by one of Angostos guys. That is where business is talked. The guy your filling in for did it and was stabbed."

Luckily I put a mic back there, I know there will be some stuff going on.

"Then he isn't a good guy?"

"He is great he is welcoming it is his body guards and the people that he works with guards they are no BS."

"So stay behind the bar pretty much."

"For you yes."

Those were the best words this guy have said to me. Why do I have a feeling though that Trudie will try to make me do something back there. I am really hoping that Hugo has my back tonight.

8:15pm

Terry and the other bouncer started letting people in. I mean everyone who was a guest had to be on the guest list.

"Angosto is coming in now," Terry said over the mic.

This is a guy that looks like your typical mob type. Dark slicked back hair not in shape at all and surrounded by enough guards to make you think that he was a famous rapper or something.

There were a few other people that came in that are known criminals that we have been unable to track down. Lipiskiki, Morono, and Hollandare to name a few.

When it came to my actual job for the night I just did what I was told. I grabbed cans and bottles of beer of the cooler and handed them to the people that ordered them.

I barely said a peep I just nodded if someone said something. The last thing that these guys need to know is that I am nervous by my squeaky voice.

9:22pm

The night is going pretty fast so far. Charles has been giving us updates on what he has caught. We have squads around the area to call in when we know certain people are leaving so we can arrest them and get them off the street.

I have had a few interactions but still have not talked to anyone.

I have not even said anything to Terry or Charles but gave hand signals to the cameras when Charles checked in so that he knew I was still safe.

Hugo has done all the running even when Trudie asked me directly just to keep me out of trouble I guess he really knows what some of these guys can do.

Angosto still is sitting in the back booth he has had multiple people come and go who knows if anything good has come out of this but we can only hope.

9:58pm

It was all well and good up until now. There was a heated discussion that started at the back of the place where Angosto was sitting. The body guards where trying to break things up but it kept getting worse and worse.

The whole place was starting to pull their weapons to be ready if something was going to go down.

I started to panic. Not on the out side but very much on the inside.

More and more people started to get involved and more and more weapons were coming out. I really wanted to run but then that would be suspicious and everyone would know that I was a cop.

People started to scream and run toward the door. Then I heard pop pop pop multiple times. Guns were fired.

I felt a twinge of pain in my torso and felt wetness. I put my hand where the pain was coming from and brought it in front of my face it was red my worst fear happened.

I was shot.

The last thing I remember before I passed out was saying, "I was hit and tell Amy and Hannah that I love them."
