Later That Night At Pellek Development

All was quiet at Pellek Development, the carnage of the previous night was gone thanks to money influencing certain things. Though Headhunter and his bunch were still guarding the area and Headhunter himself was damned eager to face off with that Croc thing and this time get the kill. Get the kill, get the dollar bills, and another thrill with Tamara herself. It was a plan he loved the Hell out of and couldn't wait to put it into action. His little moment earlier in the day was nothing more then an appetizer in his mind since they hadn't had a lot of time and he had the feeling Tamara was in agreement with him on that one. But despite his vigilance and the vigilance of his remaining men, it wasn't able to keep them from catching a certain blur into the building. Said blur materializing into the forms of Wally 'Kid Flash' West and Tommy Elkin in Tamara's office once they were sure it was okay to do so! "Whoa." Muttered the young Cherokee in a slight daze.

Wally chuckled. "Yep, its a rush."

"Heh, I'll say! That could be a new Carnival ride right there!" Tommy said enthusiastically and causing Wally to just shake his head with a grin.

"Right, right. Now remember, we need to keep quiet as much as possible."

"You got it." Replied the young man happily and went towards the door of the office to keep a look out.

Idly, Wally did wonder just how much he'd be likely to make with his Speed as a Taxi or Delivery service. Or even as a Carnival ride. But he could see a lecture forming in his head from his dad and probably Barry as well that his Speed wasn't meant for such things. It was enough to make him smile in amusement before shaking his head and getting serious about the task at hand. Which was to uncover anything Tamara may have here that could be used against her. Right, let's get to work.

He quickly got to work looking for anything to help the town and its people out while feeling glad he was back to a hundred percent. Even if the same couldn't be said for his suit but that would have to be a worry for another time when things weren't so serious. After several minutes of searching, Wally came to the conclusion that there was nothing to be found. "Damn… Gonna have to check her place then..."

"THAT SON OF A BITCH! HOW DARE HE REFUSE ME!?" Came an unwelcome voice from down the hallway.

Causing both Wally and Tommy to tense up momentarily as the voice belonged to none other then Tamara Pellek and she was none too happy! "That damned Mayor can't hold out forever! I'll find something on him and then he'll have no choice!" Hissed the woman and using his Speed, Wally phased himself and his friend through a wall to avoid being seen and to head on to their next destination with Tamara being none the wiser as she made her way into her office with Headhunter close behind.

"You know, me and my boys could always just threaten his ass point blank. Save you a lot of trouble."

A look came his way. "Don't tempt me."

"Sometimes temptation is good to be followed through on, Tam." Reasoned the man and she had to admit he had a good point there.

Even saying as much. "I'll consider your way if my next attempt doesn't work. Alright?"

"Good enough for me." And damn did he hope that was soon!

The Next Day In Front Of The Forested Area

Luck as it would turn out, would be on Wally and Tommy's side after a visit to Tamara's house. Where they would find a little black book of her's that contained a great deal of information she had on various individuals in town that she needed to approve of her plans for the forested area. All save for the Mayor, who was currently her only roadblock. But with this find, that wouldn't be much of an issue as both reasoned this meant she would have no choice but to back down. The boys would even call up those she had blackmail on in order to meet up at the forested area. Along with Charles and the Mayor himself. Not knowing that they were being watched by Mark McMurray and the Mugwump. Once they were all gathered, Wally in his Kid Flash costume got down to business and told them that they were safe from Tamara's mechinations. Even showing a certain book of her's to them that he found and he could tell they all looked rather relieved.

"Now I know I'm not from here, but I just couldn't let this girl keep doin' this kinda stuff to you guys."

"And we thank you and the Elkins for this, young man. Tamara Pellek has been a right pain in the ass and this may just be what's needed to finally bring her down a peg or two." Said the Mayor in a hopeful manner.

"Hah! Fat chance of that happenin', Mr. Mayor! Now, hand over Tam's little book or there will be trouble." Came the voice of Headhunter with his few remaining men and Tamara herself!

Who was none too pleased! "You have no right to my stuff, you speedy little freak! By all rights, I should call the Police on you!"

Thank God for a camera set up in her home! "And they would do nothing to him despite the unlawfulness of his actions, Ms. Pellek. Now, I think it best you concede defeat and leave this area alone!" Declared the Mayor firmly with those the woman had been blackmailing adding their agreements rather loudly.

And gaining the attention of the nearby protestors. Among them being a worried looking Griff as he knew this could get ugly real quick thanks to those guns Pellek's men had! Unfortunately for the good folks of Blue Valley, Tamara wasn't about to give up that easily! "No. Way. In. Hell! Do you hear me!? That damn land belongs to the Pelleks by all rights and its time that is taken seriously! Now give back my book!"

"Sheesh, you need to take a chill pill lady." Groused Tommy with a shake of the head.

"When I want to hear from the help, I'll ask for it." Came the snide reply that had him glaring at her.

Charles stepped forward with a glare of his own at the woman. "I'll have you know that my son is worth 10 of you, you smug little rich brat."

His words weren't something Tamara cared for. "Want me to shoot him?" Headhunter asked eagerly.

"No. I'll just make sure he's homeless after I leave. Him and his son."

The Mayor stepped up. "You so much as try it and you will face legal action!"

She scoffed at that and told him she wasn't even worried thanks to her family's money and the like. Wally just frowned and took a few steps forward. "Yeah, I definitely think its time someone took you down a few pegs, lady." He told her with annoyance laced in his voice.

"Bah, she's too up her own ass to realize what a bitch she is to others." Came the voice of Mark McMurray as he and the Mugwump stepped out of the forested area.

Making the Mayor and those in certain positions in town a bit nervous at the sight of! "Jesus!" Yelled Charles in shock as he hadn't ever seen anything like what he was now with the Crocodile like creature near him!

The Mugwump just hissed while Mark glared hatefully at Tamara. "Then I guess its up to me to start the process of changin' that." Wally said decidedly.

He then raised up the book of blackmail and with his Speed, tore it to shreds much to Tamara's shock and increasing anger. She watched as the small pieces drifted down to the ground while the Speedster crossed his arms while the Mayor and those with him let out cheers. Cheers they weren't alone in as Tommy and the protestors joined in on them. "Heh, that's a good look for her." Mark muttered with a grin.

"You… My… Book… Tore it…!?"

Wally found himself under the end of what was perhaps the most hateful look he'd ever gotten in his life! But he wasn't about to let that bother him any as she honestly needed a lesson in humility! "Headhunter..."

"Yeah, boss?"

"KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! I'LL HAVE THIS LAND IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO!" Screamed out the irate Pellek and causing many a pair of eyes to widen.

"Ohh crap." Moaned Tommy as Headhunter just grinned eagerly.

"MUSIC TO MY EARS, BOSS! MUSIC TO MY EARS!"

Not choosing to waste any time, the Gotham merc and his bunch quickly raised their weapons and began to fire. Getting Wally into motion as he did his best to catch each bullet while those there aside from the Elkins, Mark, Griff, Tamara, and the Mugwump remained. A hiss escaped the creature and charged at the shooters as Wally caught the bullets as best as he could while Charles got himself and Tommy out of the way. The fight would turn out to be thankfully short thanks to Wally as he used his Speed to disarm the Merc and his friends. Allowing for Charles an opportunity to knock a few out but despite their efforts to save the day, someone would feel Tamara's wrath. "MARK!" Yelled Griff in horror as he caught sight of his old friend bleeding out from several gunshot wounds.

A cruel laugh could be heard coming from Tamara and it was enough to enrage a horrified Tommy into hitting her pretty hard in the jaw. Sending her to the ground with a moan before finding herself tied up courtesy of Wally himself. "CALL AN AMBULANCE!"

Author's Notes: I probably could have kept it going but I figured I'd save it for another chapter. R and R!
