Hey guys sorry the update took so long hope you like it and check out my beta vine dot apple
But of course put together and the "dot" is actually a period
Ch 5
Our little group got back home fast due to my urgency to get Angel to Ella. When we finally got there, Ella took Angel immediately and gave her some pain meds and then she stitched up her arm with me next to her holding her good hand. Next was Gazzy. He just needed a few band-aids and a kiss on the forehead. Nudge managed to escape the fight with just some scrapes and bruises. As for me, I just had a single bruise on my stomach where one of the Hawks managed to clip me.
Ella cleared Angel of a concussion and then the drugs she gave her pulled her into sleep; Gazzy also went to sleep with her since the fight had really tuckered him out. Nudge took the laptop to her room to do homework, hopefully, but I couldn't sit down; I couldn't stop thinking about this Night guy. He must be the new replacement for Kaleb, the now deceased ex-leader of the Hawks. And what kind of gang name is Night, could you get any more unoriginal? Most gangs found it best if they went under fake names when they were going to be around other gangs so that way nobody could hunt down the leader of the gang.
I can't believe that this Night guy would send out his gang with the intentions of hurting children. I won't take this, if someone hits Maximum Ride she shoots back.
And I know the perfect way to get revenge.
I went down to the basement with my new plan.
"Iggy get your scrawny white ass over here!" I yelled in the general direction of my office.
"God Max what's with the yelling?" Iggy said as he came out of my offic
"Well I hope by now you herd about the incident with Angel and Gazzy. You are supposed to be on top of these things." I asked him with a raised eyebrow.
"Well yeah I herd when I went to go see them earlier." He said with a yawn. Hmm I guess I didn't register that it was about eleven at night right now.
"Ok good so you know why I'm upset so you'll understand why I want every full member of my gang to report here at midnight tomorrow night in all black. The meeting is canceled for now this time we are taking action. " I told Iggy, this seemed to wake him up.
"Ok Max since I have known you for an extensive amount of time, I'm going to guess you have some sort of horrible revenge planned out for the Hawks and based off the dramatic time you picked for all this to go down, it's going to be epic." Iggy said, an evil grin creeping onto his face.
"Wow Iggy you really know me." He smirked. "Well…Get to It!" I finally snapped at him. He sighed and went to get his jacket so he could go around and spread the word.
After he left I grabbed my jacket and keys and headed out too, I would need some supplies for this plan. I went to the garage behind the house and hopped into the truck I would much rather take my motorcycle but I'm gonna need some packing space.
After I finished getting weird looks from the people at the store, I pulled the truck back into the garage, full of destructive items. It was about four in the morning so I had time to sit in my office for a minute and go over what I was going to say to all my full-fledged members.
Let me explain, I have two kinds of members. First off, I have half members. They have only one wing tattooed on their back, and an example is Nudge she is a half member. To become a half member you have to show your fighting skills in a duel with a full member of my choice, kind of like a demonstration. After the fight I decide if the newbie had the skill to be a half member, if so they get the one wing and protection from the gang but in return they have to be a scout and gather info and they would be called up as backup in case of an out of control gang fight.
Full members have to fight me and of course no one ever wins— I didn't become leader for my cooking! Again, if I thought they are good enough they get their wings, but I have high standards and only the best of the best get into my gang.
There actually is a third category for my gang but it's mostly for the family members. This is what Angel, Gazzy and Ella all have, along with some of the other Angel's family members; it's just a protection policy that says they have our protection. I know it's not creative or anything but this protection mark is a tattooed feather on the back of your neck. Angel and Gazzy were both so brave when they got theirs, and now they both keep their hair long to keep their tattoos hidden.
I rubbed the back of my neck where my own feather tattoo was hidden. I remember that Jedediah gave me that tattoo when I was around ten. Jed was like an older brother to me, he was the previous leader of the Arc Angels, he trained me himself and he was the only reason I'm still alive today. The only reason he isn't still alive with me is because of the Hawks.
And I can't wait till I see all of them damned to hell for eternity.
I looked back over at the clock it was still early so I decided to catch a few z's before the big event tonight.
I finally came out of my office after nailing out some final details for the plan to be greeted by many faces of my gang. Most of them frowning, likely wishing they were asleep right now.
I guess I should start now then.
"Ok ok everybody. SHUT UP!" I yelled over the chatter and they silenced themselves.
"Well as you all know, there has been some talk about what has been happening with our families." There was some grumbling in the crowd. "Yeah, yeah that stuff. Well I decided, who the hell do the Hawks think they are screwing with our families!"
"Yeah!" Some of my Angels shouted back.
"So I say that it's time that they learn that we won't take their shit!" I shouted
"YEAH!" The shouts were twice as loud this time.
"So I'll let y'all in on the plan. We'll need everyone on his or her bikes and you, Dustin, you, lead. You know the best where the Hawks hide out is." I paused for a second so some of my guys could slap Dustin on the back for his leading position; he deserved it as he staked out some Hawks for months to find where their hide out was.
"Ok so we are all going to follow Dustin on our bikes. Iggy and Jeremiah will take the truck and stay right behind us." I explained to them.
"Come on Max get to the plan what are we going to do?" Iggy asked me, with a few people mumbling along with him.
"Well why don't yall find out yourselves all you're going to need is in the back of the truck." I pointed behind me to the back door exit and watched them funnel out the door too the garage. The room was all empty except for Iggy.
"Well Iggy what are you waiting for don't you want to see what's in the truck?" I asked Iggy.
"Nah I would rather see your face when you hear their reaction." He said with a smile. And soon enough I herd the hollers and shouts of 'Hell Yeah!' from my gang. I smiled big one of my few smiles— there's not much to smile about in my line of work. Iggy grinned at me and asked.
"So Max what's in the truck?"
"Oh ya know some gasoline a few flairs and a couple sticks of dynamite." I answered still smiling. Iggy looked a little stunned
"Max…where the hell did you get dynamite." Iggy looked at me stunned.
"Oh I know a guy. Now come on lets round up the gang."
"Ok guys its time to head out! Remember get back here as quick as you can." I saw them nod I turned to face back forward.
"Dustin lead the way!" I shouted over the excited chatter of my gang, but soon all sound was drowned out by the sound of all the motorcycles revving up along with the truck coming to life. Man that thing is old! It looks like crap and sounds terrible but hey, it runs great and it can carry a lot.
We rode along in mostly silence, trying to be as sneaky as a large gang can be, by following each other at a distance and taking different, smaller streets. It was a Sunday night so there wasn't much activity since most kids had school tomorrow and adults had work. That's part of what makes this plan perfect, who ever expects bad things to happen on a Sunday?
So after driving all the way to the other side of town, we finally pulled into a grocery store parking lot a block away from the Hawks hideout. Iggy and Jeremiah had to take the truck all the way around though so we could get all our materials close to the destruction zone.
When the rest of the gang met up with Iggy and Jeremiah, I could see Iggy practically trembling with anticipation of the explosion. He is really really into pyrotechnics.
"Ok guys." I whisper called. "Start stage one." Twenty of my Angels took around twenty-five containers of gasoline, and before you ask how I paid for this gas, I didn't. Most of it's siphoned from the upscale part of town.
They poured the gasoline around the perimeter of the Hawks hideout. They actually had a pretty sweet setup. The place was two stories and it used to be used as a haunted house so no one went in there 'cause they thought it was really haunted. And it kinda was, it's haunted by assholes
It's going to be fun to watch it burn, I thought, Iggy's already rubbing his hands in glee.
After the perimeter was good and soaked my guys came back.
"Did you run into any trouble with their lookouts?" I asked Chris.
"Well we did run into some trouble with the two guys on watch but Jayna here hit 'em both in the back of the head hard enough to knock them out so we dragged them out into the woods a bit." Chris said.
"Nice job Jayna." I complemented her to which she only smiled.
Jayna was a girl I took into the gang last year and she is one of my best fighters and she has proved it time and time again. She was a tall and skinny you would never suspect that she could beat you into unconsciousness.
Iggy came up behind me with three sticks of dynamite duck taped together.
"Are you ready Maximum?" Iggy asked me using my gang name.
"Yep Pyro light the flairs." I said back to him.
Iggy lit his flair signaling to the three other Angels around the hideout and then he flung it into one of the pools of gasoline with the other Angels doing the same. The flames started making their way up the house quickly; the smoke was starting to fill the air as well. I could just see the figures of some of the Hawks running out of the building. I waited until I heard the leader of the little group of Hawks declare that they were all there then I turned to Iggy and nodded.
He screamed "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" And then he chucked that dynamite into the Hawks hideout. We all started running trying to get as far away as we could. Iggy and I jumped behind a big rock just as the place blew, in the most badass way possible. We waited until we were sure that no major shrapnel would hit us, and then we came out from behind our rock. We stayed low until we reached where we parked the truck, but it was gone, I turned to Iggy.
"I guess someone else already took it back to the garage." I said. Iggy and I started to jog back to the parking lot, I looked around to make sure we were the last Angels to leave the explosion site, and we were. Man they cleared out fast!
It took longer than expected to get back to out bikes, we had to stick to the shadows to avoid the cop cars and fire trucks heading towards our masterpiece.
The fire was already being hosed down when we finally reached my bike. I looked at Iggy.
"Do you think…?" I started.
"There is no possible way that they will be able to: one, salvage it, two, know it was us, or three, figure out your secret dynamite supplier who by the way needs to be introduced to me." Iggy said counting off his fingers.
"Well good we're safe, and to stay safe, you will never meet my dynamite guy." I laughed once at Iggy's 'omg grrrrrrl' face (as he calls it), and revved up my bike. I took off towards my house with Iggy on the back of my bike.
