Saturday night at the club and it was packed. Rhiannon's s and m was blaring out of the speakers. And in he walked big bad Billy Darley with his gang behind him. I was behind the bar working when he walked over.

'Shot of jack'

'Cat serve him, I've more important customers'. I walked to the end of the bar to serve a creepy looking man. I glanced in the mirror on my way down to see Billy's eyes following my every move. I served the man and went back to the cash register which happened to be in front of Billy. It was getting busier by the minute and it was starting to get hot I took of my jacket and put it under the counter.

'You going to fucking ignore me all night?'

'I didn't know I was ignoring you?'

'Well it sure fucking looked that way couldn't even fucking serve me'

'Look what do you want? Before yesterday you had never come here and now your here again I told you you'd have to prove yourself but until then it's a no'

'You're the one who told me to fucking come here and prove I was god' shit I forgot Cat told me that I had said that.

'And how are you going to prove your god?'

'You'll have to wait to find out' he downed his drink and walked off. He was only gone a couple feet when some bimbo attached themselves to his arm. I had a feeling he was going to show me that he was as sex god nothing more. I was interrupted by Angie saying:

'Sorry I'm late; Bodie couldn't keep his hands off me'

'How is Bodie? Treating you right?' I gave her a knowing smile.

'Don't you know it girl, you know maybe this time will be different I think we're both ready for it this time, you know?'

'Yea...I do'. The game of love was something I knew all too well and really had no business being in any time soon.

'You can handle it up here for a few minutes right? I need a break'

'Ye sure take however long you need'. I left the bar and was about to head to my office when something caught my eye. Billy was in one of the booths. But he wasn't alone, none of the gang where there, they were all at the bar chatting up different girls. Billy was joined by four women, none of which worked here. One was dancing in front of him and the other three where fighting for his attention. This was him showing me he was god that he could have anyone he wanted but that's where he was wrong he couldn't have me. I headed back to my office and poured myself a glass of jack and lit a cig. Everyone had been given their jobs for the night. The club had enough girls and there was three of my guys around making sure everything ran smoothly. But yet I still had an uneasiness in my stomach. Something wasn't right it was like there was a calming before a storm going on. I stayed in my office for nearly an hour going through the books and things like that. When I finally decided to go back out to the club I found that Billy was at the bar talking with Joe and Cat appeared to be serving them and talking and laughing. I walked behind the bar and took someone's order.

'Well would you look who fucking decided to come back'

'I see you left your play things behind, they get too much for you to handle?' I asked while I got someone's order ready.

'There's only so much fucking entertainment you can get out of someone before it just gets old'

'Maybe it's you who's getting old Darley, can't keep up with the young people, that's your problem'. I saw Joe and cat flirting. Who was I to come between love even if he was in a gang and she was like a baby sister to me.

'Hey Cat, we're covered here if you want to take a break?' I nodded my head towards Joe and gave her a wink. She gave me the biggest smile and ran around to where Joe was and grabbed his hand and dragged him onto the dance floor.

'Joey's going to get some fucking action tonight' Billy had a big smirk on his face as he watched Cat drag Joe onto the dance floor.

'That's my little cousin you're talking about'

'I know and that's my fucking little brother'

'Do you have to curse every time something comes out of your mouth?'

'What can I say it's who I fucking am?'

'Yea well, sometimes its rude...why don't you and your boys go get a booth and I'll bring you over a bottle of jack?'

'Now you see that's what I'm fucking talking about, some friendly service'

'Na I just can't bare to look at you any longer'

'Eight fucking glass's'

'Right away' I gave him a fake smile. I put the eight glass's on a tray and carried it I one hand and a bottle of jack in the other over to where Billy sat with the boys. I poured out a drink for everyone and handed them their glass. I glanced around to see if anyone wanted anything. Something caught my eye there was two men standing by the railing upstairs one of them had a small bag of coke and seemed to be offering it to the other man who was looking for some cash.

'Shit' I ran up the stairs, this was not going to happen right under my nose. I didn't care if the club was packed and wasn't about to let someone sell in MY club. I walked over to where the men where.

'Can I help you boys?'

'No we're fine'

'Oh I bet you are' I took my gun out and hit him over the head. The other one jumped me from behind and had a gun to my head. What I didn't know was that Billy had followed me up here.

'I fucking suggest you let her go' Billy had a gun pointed at him. He let go of me and tried to make a run for it but Billy caught him and put his gun against his temple.

'Not so fucking clever now are you?'

'Come on' I opened the emergency door and Billy followed me out the door with the seller. The buyer was still knocked out. I closed the door behind us.

'Follow me'. We walked down the flights of stairs and out the back door.

'I can take it from here'

'You want me to fucking prove I'm loyal this is me fucking proving'

'Fine my cars just down here'. Billy's hand was covering the seller's mouth as he dragged him along. We walked down an alleyway and turned right at the end of that alley to find my black convertible mustang with red seats it was my baby.

'Put him in the back' he whistled

'This you're rid, not fucking bad'

'Yea well you're not getting your hands on it so forget about it'. He through the seller in the back and got in the passenger's seat.

'Buckle up boys'. I pressed my foot on the ignition and my baby roared to life it was music to my ears. I pulled out and we went speeding down the street. I looked in the mirror to see that little bitch holding onto his seat. I glanced at Billy to see he was lighting up a cig my speed didn't seem to faze him.

'Where the fuck we going?'

'You want to prove your loyal by dealing with him fine but that means you can deal with him on your turf we get brought up for this it ain't going to be my head on the chopping block'

'Fucking fine, you know where it is?'

'That's a bit of a stupid question ain't it?'

'I fucking forgot you fucking know everything'

'Dame Right'

'So you little bitch who you working for?'

'I ain't goina fucking rat'

'Why's that cause your boys will kill you? Well guess what homeboy they ain't going to get the chance cause my boy Billy here is going to stick a bullet in that pretty little head of yours even if you don't talk, talking will mean a lease painful death'

'I'm your boy now?' Billy whispered.

'You do this well, then yea you're my boy'. The rest of the rid was silent the bitch must have decided that he'd talk later. I came to a stop outside the abandoned hospitable where Billy and his boy's made their shit. I got out of the car and light a cig trying to warm myself up god I wish I hadn't forgot my jacket and I couldn't sit in my car with them anymore. Billy got out and walked over to me.

'What do you fucking want to do with him?' He looked back at him in the car.

'Everyone in your gang been initiated?'

'Joe hasn't'

'I thought him being your brother would make you want him in the gang?'

'He's my little fucking brother I want to fucking protect him not put him in fucking danger…..he wants to but I've been able to hold him off'

'Get him down here he can kill this bitch instead of some innocent person…..that's if you want him in the gang?'

'Boys ain't going to fucking like this'

'I'll deal with them Joe doesn't seem like the type to be able to kill somebody innocent'

'He's my fucking brother of course he fucking would' he had began to raise his voice this obviously hit a nerve.

'No Billy he wouldn't he's a good kid and don't say he's a man cause he's not, I know I wouldn't be able to go into a fucking store and kill someone innocent but you ask me to kill someone who's done something to me and I won't even blink'. He searched my eyes to see if I was lying but I wasn't. Why I had told him the truth I don't know, why I was standing here giving him the opportunity to prove himself I don't know but I was. He took out his phone and rang Joe and told him and the boys to get here now but before he hung up I snatched the phone off of him.

'Hey Joe put Cat on its Danny'

'Cat!'

'Hey babe what's up?'

'I want you to go with Joe ok and call in two girls to replace you and me and tell Ang she's in charge and that I might be back to close up if not she is to ok you got all that?'

'Yea I got all that' she giggled into the phone.

'You sure you got all that cause I think your more concerned about Joe's mouth' this was the boss within me coming out I had a job and I was going to get it done and done properly.

'I'm sorry, I'll make sure Angie knows'

'Good and grab my jacket under the counter please' and with that I handed Billy back the phone and lit myself another cig.

'So-

'Get him out of the car' I was starting to lose my patience I wanted to get this over with so I could go home and go to sleep. I opened the door.

'Time for a little walk' I pulled down the seat and stood back to let him get out. He got out looked at both me and Billy and then took off running. I sighed.

'They always try to run' I aimed my gun at him and shot his leg. He fell and screamed out in pain.

'Always have to make it worse for themselves' I walked over to him Billy right behind me. I grabbed one arm and he grabbed the other.

'I presume you've got a room we can put him in?'

'Fucking follow me'. Together we dragged him into the building and up some stairs and into one of the little rooms that had two chairs in it. We sat him down on it and Billy grabbed the rope that was in the corner, it had dried blood on it, there was also an old stain of blood on the floor this room must have been where they questioned people. Billy tied him up.

'Now listen here you little bitch, you're going to fucking tell me who you're working for and what the fuck he's up to, do you fucking understand me? I ain't in the fucking mood for no games!' Billy screamed in to the sellers face. So this was Billy Darley the gang lord now I know why people fear him but I still wasn't scared, I could handle Billy.

'I-I...understand' he stuttered out he was clearly in pain.

'I want a name'

'The h-hall'

'What the fuck is he up to?'

'Nothing he-he just th-thought he could make a bit of cash, every-everyone says Th-that Murphy never goes to the-the cl-club, that you could get away with it' I walked over to him and grabbed his hair and pulled his head back.

'Yea well that's where your wrong Murphy's in there every night matter of fact you're looking at him'

'B-Billy?' I laughed.

'No sweetheart me' I let go of him and walked back to where I had been standing.

'He fucking planning anything else?'

'no, man I swear he's fucking scared shitless of you's two he just wants to make some money he ain't looking for no trouble'

'Yea well trouble fucking found him'

'Billy man where are you?' it was Bodie who had shouted.

'I'll go get him you keep doing what you doing' It might not have been the smartest move, I hadn't got a clue where I was going. I walked out the room and down the corridor a bit to see Bodie, cat, Joe and three other gang members who I hadn't been introduced to.

'What's this all about?' Bodie.

'Some punk thought he could sell in my club, I went up to take care of him and Billy decided to help, this is how he's proving he's loyal'

'Fine by me where he at?'

'Down here, he found out that he's working for the hall says he got nothing planned, I don't know' we stopped outside the room.

'I don't want you going in there ok?' I whispered in cat's ear she didn't need to see any of this.

'Ok, I did everything you asked and here's your jacket' I put it on, thank god it was freezing in here.

'Thanks, we'll be finished soon and I'll bring you home' I tried to give her a reassuring smile, I knew she didn't like being around all this, she could shoot I made sure of that but she didn't like to use it. I looked at Joe, he seemed to be disappointed and then it dawned on me.

'No, no you are not getting in her panty's tonight mister, you've barely know her two days it ain't happening, not on my watch!' I pointed my finger at him, I meant business. All the boy's started laugh at him and Bodie patted Joe on the back.

'Sorry man, but she means fucking business'

'I wasn't going to try and get in her pant's I was just going to ask if she wanted to come back to my place for a drink and you know…..to talk' everyone burst out laugh even I couldn't control my laughter. Cat and Joe just went bright red, they were too cute.

'What? I'm serious'

'Yea whatever you fucking say man but me and you both know you were hoping for a quick hand job' Bodie added.

'Stop, stop leave them alone maybe there were going to talk' I was trying my best not to laugh.

'Yea fucking talk dirty to each other'

'Shut the fuck up man'. Suddenly the door of the room Billy was in opened to show a pissed looking Billy with blood on his hands. He closed the door on the seller screaming help.

'Joe you're goina to fucking become one of us tonight'

'What Billy I ain't ready I-'

'Don't fucking give me this shit Joe you've been ready for fucking months knows your fucking chance to prove yourself, now go in there and shut that fucking bastered up' Billy pointed to the room.

'Wait that ain't fucking fair we all had to fucking kill some random person and he gets to kill some fucker we were goina kill any way?' the boys all started to protest against this. I could see that Billy didn't know what to do he want to be a leader and tell them that he was in charge and he wanted to stick up for his brother but at the same time he agreed with them it was only fair that Joe killed someone at random.

'Shut the fuck up!' I screamed they all looked at me waiting to see what I said next.

'You think your fucking men cause you shoot some innocent person who didn't do anything wrong? No your fucking not! Joe is going to go in there and kill that fucker cause we need to send hall a message that he can't fuck with us and when he's done he will be part of the Darley gang any of you's got a problem, you can get the fuck out of here now…..cause if you's can't fucking support each other this partnership ain't goina fucking work'

'You fucking heard her!' Billy nodded at me and handed Joe his gun. He pressed his forehead against Joe's.

'You can fucking do this, you're a fucking Darley and this fucker deserves it' all the boys walked into the room.

'You coming?' Billy asked just before he walked into the room.

'No I'm going to stay out here with Cat but Billy, just make him shoot him in the head quick and painless we promised him'

'Fine'

'Thank you….for not making Joe kill some random person, I don't think he could have done it'

'Look Cat if it was up to me no one would be killed this is the part I hate' There was a couple minutes of silence then a gun went off, Joe's life had just changed forever and part of me felt guilty and I didn't even know Joe. They all came out of the room.

'Cat you go back with Joe to his place and I'll come get you when I'm finished, Billy and Bodie you's are goina help me dump him and the rest of you do whatever Billy tells you to' Cat went over and gave Joe a kiss and hugged him. Joe just buried his face in her hair.

'Tommy and dog I want you on one of the corners, baggy bring them the fuck home'

'All right man I'll see you later' they all left and it was just the three of us.

'Where we dumping it?'

'It's still a fucking human Bodie, we're leaving him on the hall turf as a message that this is what happens when you mess with us' I walked back into the room and walked over to him and untie him. He nearly fell off the chair but I manage to catch him. I hated killing people unless they really deserved it but to be honest he didn't really he was just following orders but that's the way this world is, kill or be killed. You had to show people who was in charge.

Bodie and Billy came into the room. Billy took the head and Bodie took the feet. They carried him down stairs and put him in my boot. Bodie got in the back and I was driving again. I speed off to where the halls turf was. We didn't go far in, it had been a long night and I didn't want to deal with a fight. I parked on the side of the foot path and everyone got out while the boys where getting the body out I got some paper and wrote a note.

The hall,

Next time I catch one of your boys selling on Murphy or Darley turf I'm coming after you, you little bitch. That's right we're working together now, so you better watch yourself and don't fucking bother coming after us an eye for an eye and all that shit cause you don't want to start a fucking war with us.

Love, your worst nightmare

Murphy

I put on some red lipstick and kissed the sheet near where it said Murphy. I walked over to the body and put the note in his pocket slightly sticking out so they would see it. The boys were all ready at the car. I stopped to light a new cig. I shivered god it was freezing out here. I checked the time on my phone it was 3:35; I just wanted to go home and go to sleep. I took a pull of my cig and exhaled. Out of nowhere I heard a gunshot. I heard Billy and Bodie shout out to me and then it hit me this awful pain in my shoulder. I dropped my cig and clutched my shoulder. It felt damp. I took my hand away and there was blood. The next minute a couple of guns went off I ducked down and made a run to the car. Those bastered's shot me. God I felt weak. If I could just make it back, to the car.
