Chapter 4

Disclaimer: Yeah buddy! Let's do it to it!

12:56 AM October 26th, 2017, Near Pellek Development

"Damn it, Mark! Usin' Umpy is just wrong!" Hissed the African American known as Griff to Mark McMurray near Pellek Development in a hidden spot in an old Toyota truck.

Mark frowned darkly at his friend. "Its the only way we're gonna get that bitch to stop with her plan to get rid of the forested area and his home! 'Sides, not like the Mugwump's got an issue about it!"

"That's cause you know he listens to you since you been in his life for so long!"

As at the ages of 12 and 13 respectively, Mark and Griff had found the Mugwump when it had been fairly young like them. Young and alone and the little fella had taken an instant shine to the two of them. Mark more so then Griff since he was able to bring him more food then what Griff was able to do at times. The boys had even given their young friend the nickname of 'Umpy' much to the little critter's liking. But as time went on and the trio grew, Mark's nature would become a lot less pleasant. Even more so after Tamara Pellek's family had essentially destroyed his family over an argument that got a bit out of hand. Leaving a majority of the McMurray clan homeless, pennyless, and blacklisted from finding jobs in the local area. And for Mark personally, he had seen attacking Pellek Development as a new form of war to fight since he'd been in the military for a time until being honorably discharged after gaining a leg injury that gave him a never ending limp.

The Mugwump hadn't even refused his request to attack either and it pleased Mark unlike it did Griff. "Yeah, but you've been in it just as long, remember?"

"Of course I remember! But that doesn't change a thing as this is wrong and you know it!" God how he wished he could get his best friend and Umpy to listen to him!

"Duly noted, Griff! Now if you can't handle the uglyness of war, then I suggest you get the Hell on outta here!" Roared the former Soldier in annoyance.

Causing Griff to take a step back with wide eyes. "You… You think this is a war!?"

His friend could only nod with a serious expression on his face, shocking and horrifying the other man a great deal. "I do, and if that bitch destroys Umpy's home, the war is lost. But I refuse to allow that to happen! Victory WILL be on our side!"

Good God! Thought Griff in horror as he knew now his friend could not be talked out of his present course of action.

One that would more then likely get Umpy killed for that matter. Something that he couldn't let happen! How, he wasn't sure but he knew he had to reach out to the Police. Even if that meant getting Mark in a crap ton of trouble but at least it might potentially keep Umpy from being learned of. Or worse! Griff quietly walked away with his head down as he hoped things would be alright in the end. And would soon close his eyes to try and block out the horrible sounds he'd soon begin to hear at Pellek Development.

Inside Pellek Development's Gated Area

"Alright boys, look alive and sharp cause we could have company at any minute." Ordered Headhunter to his bunch with his handy walkie talkie since they were part of the package of acting like a security guard and all that good fun as he made his way into the building to where Tamara's office is and have himself a little sit down for a bit.

Various positive responses were heard back from his men and that made him nod in satisfaction. As this gig was some damn guaranteed good money for him! Not to mention the little extra where Tamara was concerned! That little bit of extra was even something he was looking more forward to then the green bills he had coming his way from her! Hell, if things go her way and I bet they certainly will, maybe she and I can rule this little ass town together.

Not like none of the fools living in the area could prevent it considering the kind of firepower he and his boys packed! The imagery he was getting in his head was enough to make him smile widely and Headhunter promised to have a talk with his lovely Tam about all this as soon as he had a chance too! Hmm… I could just call that fine ass right now instead of waitin' til later…

As Headhunter had little doubt Tam would be all that pissed with his calling and waking her up. But as his hand went to pull out his cell from his pocket, it'd freeze when what sounded like a loud scream and gunfire was heard. Causing him to frown. "Alright, who or what the Hell was that!?"

"Boss! I think that was Reggie!"

Static was heard and Reggie himself was soon heard from. "It… It is! This thi-AAUGH!"

"Reggie!? REGGIE!?" Yelled Headhunter into his walkie talkie.

But no answer was given, forcing him to start barking out orders. "Damnit! And that boy had just achieved his dream of bein' an armed security guard! Boys! Get to where those shots came from and make sure to show whoever got Reggie pays big time! His death ain't gonna be in vain!" Ordered the man as he started to haul ass from Tamara's office.

He'd live that boy's dream for him if he had too! "You got it, boss!"

Seconds later, Headhunter would hear one of his speak up over the walkie talkies. "Holy shit! I think, I think I'ma puke! Reggie ain't Reggie no more! Gonna… Gonna need a lot of stitch shit to put his ass back together!"

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" Shouted another of Headhunter's men and gunfire was soon heard.

Making Headhunter frown in annoyance and quicken his pace as the gunfire increased and yelling could be heard. Whatever or whoever was out there that his boys was shooting at, was soon gonna meet with him and two of his shots! "Hang tight, boys! I'm comin'!"

Elkins House

Bleary eyed but concerned was the state of Charles and Tommy Elkin, along with Wally 'Kid Flash' West as they came out of the house to find out what exactly the Hell was going on. "Sounds like a damn warzone." Muttered Charles grimly as others came out of their houses and chatted amongst themselves as the shooting continued on.

"Where ya think it might be comin' from, pops?"

"Well… Given all the trouble that's been happenin' lately, I can think of only one place." Replied Charles with a frown on his face as no mere bunch of security guards should even have the kinda fire power he was hearing.

Tommy looked over at Wally who looked back at him. "Pellek Development." Both said at the same time in a grim manner.

Several vehicles belonging to the Sheriff's Department suddenly raced through the area on the way to where the gunfire was happening at. "Uhh, I really don't think they are gonna like what they find." Wally muttered as he knew now more then ever that the time for him to act was now.

"Probably not, son, probably not."

Making his leave discretely, Wally made for the house and towards the guest room he'd been given for a quick change of outfits and was soon speeding off from the back door of the house and towards Pellek Development. Once he got there, he saw an African American man firing two hand guns at some kind of strange creature that vaguely resembled a Crocodile as quite a few dead bodies were all over the area with those still alive keeping their distance and looking rather frightened too for that matter. But willing to fire on the thing if needed! "I don't know what kinda food you been eatin', Croc boy, but it ain't gonna matter as I'm 'bout to shoot yo ass up and straight down to Hell!" Declared the man with a laugh as he fired his guns at the creature.

Snarling, the creature charged at him but the man held his ground. Even yelling at the others to join him in killing the thing. But Wally wasn't about to let this go on for much longer and sped over to get the guy the heck out of the way. And just in time too as the creature had reached out to strike him. "What the!?" Got out the man.

"You and your friends need to get out of here, now!" Wally told him with his voice disguised.

Getting laughter in return. "Ha! Sorry pal, but the Headhunter and his crew don't run from shit! And that includes freaky ass things like that! But nice to meet ya in the flesh, Kid Speed or whatever it is they call ya. Who knows, maybe you'll get to see why I do two shots with my guns here for every occasion."

The fact this guy was so damned jovial and showing off his guns bothered Wally to no end and even said as much. "Hah! Kid, I'm from Gotham! Ain't much that can phase me!"

He then fired upon the creature that while looking like a Crocodile, strangely enough also had fur on it. Shaking his head, Wally sped at the creature and punched it in the gut. Causing it to grunt and then, if possible, glaring in annoyance at him. "Hi! You uhh… You didn't like that, huh?"

His answer would be in the form of a backhand strike that sent him flying into a few barrels with a groan. "Ugh… Guess not." He muttered somewhat painfully as he got up.

"Damn! Our boy here got you good in the chest!" Called out Headhunter as he took an Uzi from one of his boys and started firing it at the creature.

Confused, Wally looked down and his eyes widened with a gasp escaping him as his chest had what looked to be deep claw marks on it. Especially as now he could feel the stinging sensation of being slashed as he noticed blood coming out. "Aww man..."

Thank God that hadn't been any deeper or he'd be toast! Shaking off the pain he felt, Wally stared straight ahead at the Crocodile like creature and sped at it. Striking it wherever he could and only serving to thoroughly piss it off even more. "Boss! Nothin' we throw at the thing stops it!"

"Keep at it, Kirk! Sooner or later we'll get a hit in and we'll have him then!" Encouraged Headhunter as he and his remaining boys waited for the Speedster to either get a lucky moment or get knocked back.

Which is exactly what happened to him too as the hit sent him flying right onto the hood of an approaching Police vehicle. "Aww damn! We got Cops!"

"Pay 'em no mind!"

Snarling, the creature began to advance on them as Wally groaned and forced himself up. Physical attacks aren't doin' it… Not unless I do a Mach Punch or whatever Cisco likes to call it.

Even then, that might only make this thing even madder! "What on God's Green Earth is that thing!?" Wondered the Sheriff in alarm as he and his Deputies watched as the creature went after those shooting at him.

"Trouble. But you need to let ME handle it, okay? Several are already dead and there's no need to add more to that list." Wally implored as seriously as he could.

And then got an idea as the Sheriff and his Deputies looked at him with wide shocked eyes. Something he paid no mind too as he sped off and circled around the creature and the shooters until until he stopped. And let loose with a Lightning Throw at the creature. Causing it to let out a pained yell as the electricity surged all over its body as Wally and the others present stared at it. The Lightning soon dissipated and smoke could be seen coming off its heavily breathing form as it stayed on its hands and knees. "Well hot damn, Kid Speed got the victory! Now let's finish this thing off and buy him a beer!"

Nervous laughter escaped those of his men that hadn't been killed or tossed aside like they were nothing and ending up knocked out or worse moments before. Wally looked over at him with a shake of the head. "Its Kid Flash, actually."

"Right, right. I knew it was somethin' like that! Say, you wanna join up with me and my boys? Cause it sure looks like we're gonna need to do some recruitin' thanks to this thing." Headhunter asked him as he stepped towards the creature with an eager grin on his face.

But stopped in his tracks as it growled and raised its head up and then turned to look at Wally with a very unhappy look about it! "Uh-oh."

With a roar of rage, the creature was up and on its feet faster then what it should have been capable for its size and charged at him. Making for Wally to decide to haul ass from the area in the hopes it would keep chasing him and naturally, not get him at all! Especially since he was still hurting some from his chest wounds! "Hot damn, boys! Helluva show!" Remarked Headhunter with a chuckle as his boys started to relax a little.

"Got that right, boss! Damn near wet myself!"

Laughter erupted from that comment. "Now I don't know what the Hell just happened here. But I DO know that all of you ARE under arrest!" Declared the Sheriff of Blue Valley.

Making for everybody's favorite Headhunter and his remaining bunch to turn around and look at the Sheriff. Who had his gun pointed at him and he wasn't alone in doing so! "Alright then, partner, have at it."

Protests were made at that but he stalled it. "Whoa! Boys! Easy, remembr who's dime we're on here. You know full well she ain't gonna let anything happen to us!"

"Oh..."

"Yeah, that's right!"

"Sure, take us to jail then!"

"You uhh… Got a therapist in this small ass place? Cause I think I need one after what I saw tonight..."

Headhunter could only shake his head at the remarks from his men. Alright Tam, gonna need ya to do ya thing, baby girl. Cause other wise… Things might get a bit complicated! And that just wouldn't do!
