Sylvia let the officers keep the items but she wanted to interrogate the prisoners with Wander. After hours of interrogation, they didnt really receive any interresting info until the last prisoner walked in. Her name was Ripov. She was a punk who worked for the military. She sat down and Wander shook her head and welcomed her in. Ripov was stiff and uncomfortable but tried to mellow out seeing that she was in the prescence of thrustworthy people. She told everything she knew. She was a former member of the gang and they didnt let her go because she knew too much. The rest of the prisoners didnt talk because once they are taken by police, they are automatically put on a death list and the only way to be spared is by not sharing any info with the cops. Ripov made a deal that in exchange for the info, she'd be protected by officers.
The prisonners were people who either owed the gang cash, were taken hostage for a ransom or were ex-members. Ripov also knew where bases 2 and 3 were located and she could help make a plan of attack to wipe out the gang once and for all.
The plan was pretty simple but difficult in execution. It wasn't a secret that Peepers and Hater were best friends, so close that it was rumored that they were lovers amougst the goons. This made Wander giggle, the thought of romance between them made him giddy. Sylvia gave him a stern look and he stoped.
THE PLAN: kidnap either either Peepers or Hater to lure them to go to the city ruins were buildings had yet to be rebuilt and demand they all submit to police arrest and if they refuse, FIGHT TO THE DEATH. Simple plan, right? but how were they going to catch one of the two leaders? they almost never left the base and when they did, they were surrounded by guards.. Ripov stated that after hours of intense work, he would go out for a walk around the block, out of uniform so nobody would reconise him (even tho the eye patch over his left eye made him very reconisable), to clear his head. He usually went out at twilight or in the early morning but Ripov wasnt sure if he would be at base 2, 3 or any where new so the police set more officers on duty around base 2 and 3 and set up a lot of wanted posters with a expensive prize for each leader.
These wanted posters caught the attention of a certain 'Emporer' Awesome.
"Check it out bro" She motioned to the poster while refering to 1 of his fist fighters. "Thats a lot of cash we could use to go to concerts."
"Cha totally bruh" The fist fighter replied. "let's do it" Awesome grinned.
"But aren't they the guy that give us booze and 'sugar sweets'? wouldnt it be bad to sabotage our providers?" The fist fighter asked.
"If we succeed, we'll rolling in doe" Awesome smirked.
Awesome and his lackies knew some of the ins and outs cause they were clients so they were close. They went out to the usual spot where a Hater Empire member stood with "the goods".
"sup" the Ivan asked. He wore a big leather jacket stuffed with so many packages that he looked like he was wearing a winter coat. "NM. Is there any way I can speak to you cousin, ?" Awesome asked casually.
"Uh..." the watchdog thought "Weeeell, it would be hard to get him out of the bases since there has been so many wanted posters lately. you would need a good reason to speak to him."
"Bring him here by tomorow at 11pm. Lately our packages haven't been good and the costumer service of this ain't so great either so I'd prefer to speak to the man in charge cause i know he's the only 1 who can do anything" Awesome lied.
"sorry. The isnt that important" The watchdog stated.
"Yea, but you know what is? Your life!" Awesome pulled out a switch blade and grinned fro ear to ear "now wouldnt it be a shame if it ended right here?"
"But i cant get him! he's accross town!" The watchdog checked his holster and realised he forgot his blaster again.
"Then you tell me where he is and book a apointment for me."
"He's on the outskirts of Espagnia Bay- River street, the only building there. I-I'll try to see what I can do for the-" He didn't finish speaking when Awesome Grabed him by the color and carried him over his shoulder. He weighed pratically nothing since Awesome was so buff. They rode to their destination on motorcycles, blasting loud techno music. After a hour trip they arrived. The watchdog was exhausted and deaf from holding onto Awesome's shoulder for dear life and listening to the music. They walked out to the building with their sun glasses, cheetah print pants and designer clothing, looking totally bad ass. The Hater Empire was installing equipment in their new base so it was only Peepers and the rest of his watchdog cousins. Andy 'the journalist watchdog' saw the window Awesome and his crew approching. "Oh MY GOD LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID TO GREG!" He pointed.
They dropped everything and rushed down. Peepers, not knowing what was going on tried to stop them but got trampled on instead. He walked down stairs yelling at them to get back to work when he saw what the crowd was looking at.
"IT SUCKS THAT WE DIDN'T BRING OUR GUNS!"
"we have weapons in the storage room bob."
"who are they?" the voices of his comrads flooded his ears. Awesome and Peepers' eyes locked. He walked silently thru the crowd. "why have you come here?" he asked unfeelinly.
Awesome looked around. He saw his blaster in his holster but the rest of them were clueless and unarmed. He looked down at his men, all were ready. Without even a word, Awesome's crew charged and knocked them all out, kidnaped Peepers, taped his mouth and eye shut and cuffed his hands with fluffy BDSM cuffs cause they didnt have real ones. The drive back was awful for Peepers but at least they didn't play any of the music that he hated so much.
"Ya know your familly sucks at fighting, right?" was the first thing awesome said to him. "Aw man, This gives me good old memories. Reminds me the time 11 years ago when you and i were 11 years old"
"Oh no. Not this. No more reminders please. You've bullied me enough in school for this" he thought to himself.
"That time my uncle, Ryder..." Awesome chuckled "that time he beat you senseless so much so that your left eye was just completly destroyed!"
Peepers tried to yell but the tape muffled his screams.
"You were so stupid! What made you think you could take on a cap?" Awesome roared with laughter.
"it was a police brutality protest and I was in the front lines when hell broke loose! I never tried to fight him!" Peepers thought to himself as tears escaped the tape.
"you had it coming to you. You deserved it." Awesome said seriously.
The rest of the ride they played the ear piercing music. They droped him off at the police station, litterally, they taped his feet so he couldnt walk, carried him in and dropped him on the floor. Awesome whispered to him as he lay on side "I hope they destroy your other eye this time."
They collect their reward from the cops and left. Streams of tears left Peepers' eye. The hopeless crept out of the dark and started eating at his soul. It was suddenly very cold... so cold...
