Chapter 17th Retribution

Once Hunt had left his son's motel room, he had to call Joshua and the others to come out here to help him, with his next stage of the plan to have his total revenge.

Instead of calling direct, he sent a text message, actually three for Joshua to let him know on whether they will be available.

But in the meantime, he needed to drink more after the taste his son gave him at the motel room. He decided to drive around in his truck to look for a tavern that would hit his eye.

Some three miles away, he was able to stop at a local bar called the Diamond Club. He was lucky to find a parking space in the front of the tavern, it seems to be very busy for the middle of the afternoon.

When he walked in, there was a spot at the bar, while the two female bartenders were busy with the rest of there customers.

Joan came over to Hunt, she asked him on what it would be with his order. Joan has been a bartender for ten years on a part time basics, she's 42 years old, divorced, no children, and a member of the L.A. police department under cover department.

"What will it be sir?" She asked with a smile.

"Place three whiskeys and some pretzels in front of me, and I will be sure to leave you a nice tip."

"Sure!, three whiskeys and pretzels coming up, anything else, sir?"

While walking away to get his she didn't hear anything else, she continued on with her work, besides talking care of her other customers at the bar and on the sides.

Joshua had received the three text messages from Jackson Hunt, he went to talk with his three friends, who were bored out of there minds with nothing to do in the first place.

"What did you just say Joshua? Jerome had to asked again after believing the stroke of luck, he had just heard.

"Hunt wants to know right away, on whether or not, we will be able to fly out to California to help him out once again."

"Are you kidding, send a text back, and let him know the answer is yes, just be sure that it will be worth our while for when it comes to getting a pay check."

"I will asked any way, but let's get ready, and find out what flight we can get really quick, and make sure to use the credit card instead of taking funds from the off shore accounts." Joshua tells them really quick.

Union Hall

James Whitmore was having a headache from the last two hours of arguments from all of the 500 members in the hall. But at least something was finally getting done in regard to the cut backs with the contract, mostly benefits, pay and medical.

After giving his speech to the group, it was his chance finally to leave and just go home for a few hours, but first he needed to go to his office and anything that needed to be signed by him or his secretary.

There were no one around at the moment inside his office area, accept for his secretary, and a pile of messages that needed to be looked at before starting anything else.

There were two messages from Susan Rollins telling him that she will be there at his home tonight for a rematch to make his laugh mostly in the wording of her words.

Otherwise nothing much else was going on. He asked where was his dock manager Jerry Brewster. "Sir, he's on loading dock seven, a new shipment of furs just arrived from Canada, and he needed to make sure the workers were able to removed the stock quickly from the truck containers."

"Thank you, I will take a look at the computer logs."

Jackson Hunt was having a great deal fun at the bar, the bartender Joan was making keeping him entertained with the drinks, food and giving her phone number to him, just in case he was in need of company.

Just before he was going to leave, there were two text messages from his friend Joshua. "Excuse Joan, I need to look at my text messages."

"Off course!, she goes back to her work, with orders from two new customers that had just walked into the door.

Hunt was pleased mostly having to read the messages telling him that his friends would be flying out very soon. However there was something he needed to do first, and that was to call his son Richard to keep him honest in regard to the truce between the both of them.

He dials his son's phone.

Richard Castle picks up on the second ring. "What's going on dad?"

"Just to keep you in the loop, my black ops friends will be coming to California to help me out, I will be sure to let you know when this is going to happen."

"Very well dad, just be sure that you do, I don't need to be caught off guard again by you or any of the others."

"Later, I have a few things that needs to be done in the first place, before they arrive." He ends the call before going over to see Joan.

"By the way Jackson, I am off in twenty minutes, I would very much like to take you up on your offer."

"Excellent!, I will wait for you right here, and then we can leave and spend a little bit of time together at my motel, if that's fine with you?" She smiled at him, giving him the hint that she was very much interested in having casual sex with him for a one night stand.
