Chapter 2
Andre was across the same town, but he was waking up to different plans for the day. The small town was crammed full of bikers everywhere, many of them sleeping in tents in his yard. Everyone was starting to rouse after a long night of protesting that turned into an impromptu party. Andre was knackered and couldn’t be bothered with it all.
He personally had wanted to just take the man out. It would have been easier, but his father had pushed against it. Maxwell wanted there to be no violence and though he listened to no one else, he listened when his father spoke. The gang was founded by Maxwell twenty years before and even though Andre ran it now, he still looked to his father for advice.
“I see you are finally up son. Are you ready for another day?”
Andre shrugged. He didn’t have a choice. His father had pushed the whole thing into action. Maxwell was always pulling the strings. He couldn’t help himself since he had been the boss for so long. Andre knew why they were there and while he agreed, he would have handled it differently and he wouldn’t have used the press and television. It was the one thing that he had talked out against, but he was to give their side.
Maxwell knew in his old age that the best way was always the way that gave them closure. If the Sheriff was killed, the cops would keep snooping around until they found something incriminating. Though the cops were everywhere, the sheer number gave them some protection and having the country hear about it changed the rules with so many eyes now watching everyone. There were not the normal number of reporters, he would have liked more, but even one was enough with technology and sharing capacity nowadays.
Andre got it. He just didn’t want to be a part of it, but he was bound, so there he was. The hometown that he knew and love was under siege from his own people. But there was to be no violence, he wouldn’t let it happen. So far, no one had been hurt and Andre wanted to keep it that way.
What he didn’t want to do was go talk to some thirsty reporter, looking to make a name for herself like the one that was nosing around. He had already talked to her once and Andre would have wanted anyone else but her. But she was the only one.
“I’m ready. Not happy about it, but I will do what must be done.”
Maxwell put a hand on his shoulder. “I knew that you would son. That is why you are the leader now. You will do it better than me.”
“But I still don’t quite know why. You want me to go give my reasons, explain why we have taken over the town. I don’t know why we are here. I know that you found something out recently, but said nothing about what it was.”
Maxwell shook his head. It wasn’t time for that now. If he told his son the truth, there was no way that he was going to go through with it. Maxwell knew his son’s temper well, so he kept most of it to himself. “I can tell you that David was part of a rival motorcycle gang before he went the cop route. You need to tell that reporter that we want that exposed and what he did while he was in it. That man shouldn’t be walking around and I will not have him running my home town. He has to pay for his crimes and doing it in the public eye is a way for us to get it done without going to jail.”
Andre sighed. It was as cryptic as before. There was something his father wasn’t telling him, but he was used to secrets, lived with secrets his whole life.
“I will do as you ask. You need to stay out of it today though. The guys that came in from Denver are getting rowdy and it isn’t even ten in the morning.”
Maxwell scowled at the news. It was the last thing that he wanted to hear. “I will be out there to make sure that nothing happens. We can’t have this falling apart yet. If there is any violence, we
