“Yeah, I’m all ready, Pres. Did the law enforcement fuck off, or are we going to be rounded up and hauled in when this shitshow is done?”

Cap chuckles, and Finger smirks, but as always Pres remains calm. “They know and they’ll be arresting as many as they can. The rest we get will disappear. I’ve spoken to Aspen, and she tells me the pit will hold if I have to put a lot of parts in there.” Pres chuckles, slaps my shoulder and heads out, with Cap and Finger right behind him.

Everything happens so fast that it’s difficult to concentrate on one thing for the first few minutes. The driveway is being hit heavily and gunshots are heard, along with bikes scraping across the concrete and one or two have exploded. There is some screaming happening too. I hope it’s not Miri’s team that is screaming because she’s not going to be happy if one of hers gets hurt, or worse.

I pick up my assault rifle and am ready for the moment they hit the compound in front of the clubhouse. Not one motherfucker is getting past me.

Now, I have to tell you I’m more than a little shocked when the lead bike, none other than Snake appears, and he has Geri on the back. What the everlovingshit is he doing?

Bikes are circling, and I’m happy to report are being picked off one by one easily by the snipers and brothers positioned in the right places. Snake pauses his bike outside the clubhouse and Geri jumps off and launches herself at the door. Right towards me.

I fire rounds in front of her feet because I really don’t want to kill a woman, but if it comes to her or me, she’s going down.

“Stop, stop, I need to speak to Miri,” Geri shouts as she nears my position, but the bitch has a gun in her hand so I do what all sensible people would do and point my fucking rifle at her.

“Stop right there. Why do you want Miri?” I snarl and give her the nastiest look I can manage.

“I need…”

“You need nothing but to get away from here.”

I turn fast when I hear Miri speaking. “Miri, what the fuck are you doing down here?”

“I saw the stupid bitch on the back of his bike.” Miri turns back to Geri who is standing in front of us and could get shot any minute. But you know, I don’t care, and it looks like Miri doesn’t either.

“I need help, Miri…”

Miri snaps. “You mean you want money. That’s all you want from me, and you have the money from the sale of the house. It’s in your bank account at this point. I’m not giving you another dime, Geri. If you have any sense, you’ll take your man, his shit of a club and get effing gone.”

I look over Geri’s shoulder and see Pres walking forward, firing an assault rifle as though it’s an everyday occurrence. He’s taking down any of the bikers that get in his way, but he’s heading for Snake.

Cap and Finger are behind him. Cap walking backwards so nobody can shoot Pres in the back. Finger is firing at anyone who points a weapon toward them. Snake sees Pres and starts to lift his hand. It feels like slow motion as Pres lifts his arm a fraction faster and shoots Snake multiple times. Snake flies off the bike with a silent scream. He’s dead before he hits the ground.

“Whoops, Snake’s dead,” I singsong while watching what Geri is going to do.

Turning, Geri screams, dropping her gun as she runs to her man. Miri sighs, but stays at the side of me. “You are gonna get your ass paddled later,” I tell Miri out of the side of my mouth.

“Promises, promises,” she surprises me by saying.

Seeing their president dead the ones that still can hightail it up the driveway, leaving Geri wailing on her knees. It’s when she stops wailing that I hear Miri mumble, “Oh, effing hell, she’s gonna do it!”

I’m thinking, do what? When Geri grabs the weapon that is still held in Snake's hand, she points it at Tracker. I’m not sure who shoots first or who shoots last, but multiple weapons are fired and hit Geri who becomes riddled with bullets. She drops on top of her man.

I turn to see if Miri is okay, and although she has tears in her eyes, she is standing tall. “Are you okay?” I ask as I throw an arm around her shoulders, drawing her to my side.

“Yeah. I knew it wasn’t going to end well. It’s mainly why I came down here to speak to her and see if I could calm the situation, but she was too far gone, Liam. She would never have seen the sense in leaving the man, his club, or letting the money issue ride.”

Pres walks over to us and looks at Miri. “I’m sorry, Miri…”

“You have nothing to be sorry for. She did this. She was with that garbage and became garbage with him. I want nothing to do with what happens now. I’m not interested in anything that happens.” Miri walks away, and I watch her leave before turning to Tracker.

“Pres, we need a funeral for Geri. I think given time Miri would regret not doing that.”

“I agree with you, Joker. We’ll do that and the rest can be got rid of. Let’s get to it because we’ve a lot of evidence to get rid of,” Pres smirks and I shake my head and roll my eyes, which has him chuckling as he walks away.

None of us know at this point if it’s over, or if the rest of the Iron Fallen MC will regroup and come again, either today, tomorrow, or in the future.
